We always enjoy our special dinner meals here. The opening round of bread is always delectable = warm, crisp skin with moist and soft interior. The four dips enhance every bite. Each meal is perfectly done and presented, on hot plates that keep every bite nice and hot. My usually orders the salmon and it's always grilled just right and nicely seasoned. I usually order a stew and it's always rich in flavor with egglant and tender meat. Eggplant and spinach side dishes are always delicious. We didn't order dessert this time, but we know they're always special. Service is quick and attentive but not obtrusive.

I’m from a large, Italian family so I’m picky with any Italian dining experiences (aren’t we all?!?!)…and I’ve never been disappointed with Osteria Marzano. Wonderful food, service and cocktails every time I’ve visited. Extensive menu, but they shine with the classics; the chicken parm is my favorite. Can’t sing this restaurant’s praises enough!
