The chefs at Marzano's attain the freshest ingredients to prepare authentic Italian cuisine. Owner Elisa Marzano grew up in Vicenza, Italy, and consistently refers to these roots to design Marzano's unique yet classic menu. Once a quaint two-bedroom home, the restaurant was transformed but still keeps the rustic, home-like feel for an inviting, welcoming atmosphere. The pleasing combination of intimate lighting and natural window light make it the ideal spot for either lunch or dinner. A top menu choice is the boscaiola, which features a creamy tomato and Bolognese sauce over rigatoni pasta, topped with various spices and forest mushrooms. Guests can enjoy complimentary bread and salad with every entree, so eating at Marzano's can ensure a satisfied appetite. Marzano's also aims to please those with various dietary needs, such as diners who desire gluten-free options.

    Real Italian food in the Northwest is a treat. All menu items are authentic, but daily specials are innovative. Service is attentive and friendly. A special place for a personal occasion.

    We made dinner reservations for 5:45 on a Saturday night. We got a fantastic table that’s for 2, by a window, in a little “alcove” by the kitchen. Best table in the house because we were off by ourselves. Our server was Daniel. He was wonderful. Didn’t hover, but was always there when we needed him (refill on beverages). Now for the food - YUM!!!! Started off with the calamari. NOT deep-fried but cooked in this most glorious tomato-based sauce. Very flavorful. Daniel brought us bread so that the sauce didn’t go to waste. I had the lasagne; hubby had the spaghetti bolognese with meatballs. The lasagne was deep in rich flavor. My words won’t do it justice. The spaghetti bolognese was the same, very rich flavors. The meatballs were delicious, just made the spaghetti even better. Ended it with desserts to take home, which were the perfect ending: tiramisu and the white chocolate berry cake. Marsano’s menu is more the thinking man’s Italian menu, not so mainstream. But one can still find basics. We’ll definitely be heading here again. Reservations recommended because the place fills up fast. As busy as it was, we felt by ourselves in that table by the kitchen. Service was beyond excellent, as was the food!

    Dinner here is always amazing. Absolutely love the quality and the steak that I had last night was one of the best mistakes I have had in a long time.

    As always, Marzano’s was outstanding! From their friendly, helpful and attentive staff, to the superb food with highest quality ingredients, it’s always a great evening when we come here! We have been coming to Marzano’s since the 1990’s, albeit not that often since we live in Gig Harbor, but it always impresses us when we do!

    This was our second time dining at Mariano’s. The food was just as good as we remember and the service is amazing. We will be returning.
