About this restaurant

  • Neighborhood gem
  • Good for special occasions
  • Great for outdoor dining
Just like the small family-owned trattorias of Italy, Marzano is simple, rustic, and generous in spirit. Executive Chef, Robert Holt, draws his inspiration from Southern-Italy, with an emphasis on wood-fired Neapolitan pizza.

    As always, this friendly, neighborhood restaurant provided outstanding service, even reporting the Valkyries scores at every turn. The Rustic Pizza was stellar and the arugula salad outstanding as always. They altered the Medicina Latina drink to make it non-alcoholic for me and it was amazing.

    Love Marzano. Staff is friendly and food is good. The soft serve is a nice treat but they are a little skimpy on the sauces.

    A friend and I wanted a nice dinner on a Wednesday night outdoors. Marzano has a small menu but the quality of the food was very good. The service was excellent and her recommendations for the wine were spot on. We had the Halibut as the main dish and we both enjoyed an engaging evening.

    As usual, a very enjoyable venue for dinner with friends. Steak was a little tough, but otherwise the food was very good.
