    We, my wife and I, came to Marzano's for the Italian Wine Pairing Dinner. Without qualification it was superb. We spoke of the meal this morning and one observation my wife made was that there was not a single course that could be improved upon. That is for me high praise indeed since we normally eat at home because she cooks "well". Though we do not normally eat out, when we do, the high point meals invariably come down to those eaten at Marzano's. The 7 Fish Christmas dinner was something that should take pride of place on anyone's calendar along with Christmas Day itself. The idea of having the Italian vintner be there in person to explain his wines was a stroke of genius. Chef Carmine's inventive pairings throughout the courses elevated each one to a masterpiece...and with the wine paired with it, divine. We enjoyed the meal so much we purchased each of the wines accompanying each course to recreate the meal at home. There was one total surprise-the dessert course. When the gelato with Amarene Cherries was served with expresso, we were perplexed because the expresso was in a tiny pitcher. The server quickly explained that the expresso was to be poured over the gelato. Really? Yes, and its excellencies defy description. Chef Carmine outdid himself.

    I always love coming here but their wine dinners are the absolute best. All of the servers and bartenders are great but Naijah is the absolute best.

    The food and wine pairings are very good. My main comment/complaint is you’re sitting at an individual table and people are passing by when the wine expert is discussing the wine - extremely distracting for the winemaker, importer, and the guests. Plus the music is very loud and it is hard to hear the experts describe the wine.

    We attended the Wine dinner last night and the food and the wine were fantastic. The wines paired extremely well with the food. The risotto was some of the best we've ever had. The sommelier was friendly and very knowledgeable about both the food and the wine, and he was really interesting to listen to. We are so happy we were able to enjoy the wine dinner. Thank you!

    The most amazing birthday meal ever! Nya was our server and she took great care of us. The food was exquisite and the ambiance reminded me of some of the best restaurants in NYC. I just hope not too many people find out about this gem! We’ll never get a rezzy if so!

    This restaurant is nothing short of perfection from host that sat us to the chef that prepared our meal to the outstanding and impeccable waitress that we had. Parking was simple and locating the restaurant was a breeze. We will definitely be back as there were several things on the menu that we were torn between. Getting the cheese wheel experience is a definite must!
