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.

    The food was great. Probably will not come back as the noise level was between 80 to 85 decibels. Most of the 1.5 hours we were there. Even when most people had left the best , it was 60-70 decibels, which was great at those times and could even hear background music. Was unable to hear our waitress when she was telling us the specials. They did discount the price of the meal. Maybe try them again in the warmer part of summer when we can sit outside and be away from the loud noise.

    Pasta dishes are deliciously prepared. Service is attentive and friendly. A tad noisy but not too much. Marzano never disappoints!

    Awesome meal. I had the King salmon special. Salmon was nicely cooked and was the star of the dish. My wife had the gnocchi special which was excellent. Sorry, I don't recall everything that was with it but she expressed her thought to the manager that it should be added to the regular menu.

    My wife and I have come to Marzano’s for special occasion dinners for years. My birthday dinner recently was average at best. We ordered a main dish and found 20+ minutes later they did have the main ingredient. They substituted and said they would not charge for that item but did. There were only a few diners and lots of staff, but service was slow as was the food. The appetizer was very good. My main dish was average. No big problems, but hardly special and not worth the drive from Olympia.
