We had a wonderful brunch at Marisi! Everything we ordered was delicious, and the experience did not disappoint. We started with the focaccia to share, which was a great way to kick off the meal. For our entrees, we tried the Carbonara Bucatini and Eggs Napolitana, and both were absolutely delicious. We also enjoyed the Peach Bellinis, which were perfect for brunch! The service was just as impressive as the food. Our server was attentive, friendly, and made sure we were well taken care of throughout our visit. Great food, delicious drinks, and excellent service make this a spot we would definitely come back to. Highly recommend for a lovely brunch!

We came for the Halloween experience and it completely exceeded our expectations. The staff nailed everything, the costumes, the service, the food, the themed plating, the photo ops. Everything was amazing. This is our new favorite spot in Little Italy. The GM’s passion and attention to detail was exceptional.

Isabella was a great hostess. I requested a standard table and we sat right at the front in a booth. Our server Kevin remembered my dessert order! I tried the corn saccetti and had my favorite - the Tagliatelle alla Portofino. It was divine. Can’t wait to go back!

The gluten free pizza was awesome. Crust was on the burnt side, but if you know you know. We had a wonderful meal.
