    Go for the pizza! We went for Valentine's Day and had such a lovely time! Forever we ordered a $45 lobster pasta cacherri. It had 10 tube's of pasta and maybe 2 ounces of lobster. It was pretty Blanc and quite frankly, a rip off. It was also the only bad thing we had so we were still pretty pleased.

    I wanted to bring my cousin here to try the food, and I was very lucky to land a reservation when I was notified of an opening two days before the date that I requested. Also, the staff was very accommodating and allowed me to add one more person to my party just two hours before my reservation…👌🏻! The food was great!😋!

    As usual Marzano's is a comfy, neighbor restaurant to go. We had an excellent time, the food came out quickly and because it was so good we ate much faster than planned. We actually didn't feel rushed, so if you are looking for a great neighborhood restaurant this is the one to visit.
