Osteria Marzano

We love to come here to celebrate special occasions. It is our secret place that we only recommend or take very good friends. Last night was our date Night to celebrate the holidays. We ordered our usual calamari starter. It is always fresh, and crispy. Then followed by Spaghetti Vongole and Grilled Branzino in lemon Capers sauce. Both were fantastic. The cocktail I ordered into Amalfy wasn't that good, it was too sour and it hurt my stomach. For dessert, the creme brulee was to die for! It was rich, creamy, and the vanilla and custard shined through. We will definitely keep coming back.

It was my first time here and it was good and bad. My mom and I started with the arancini and it was good but they were missing the crunch that usually accompanies arancini when deep fried. They were unusually soft like they had been microwaved. My mom had the eggplant parm which she said was the best she ever had. My fettuccine Osteria with chicken is where things went wrong. The pasta and sauce was good but bland. The chicken was tough, dry and came out cut in big chunks instead of being sliced. My guess is they pre cooked the chicken and it’s leftover from yesterday and has been sitting on a line cooler all day. They offer to blacken it when ordering but I don’t like Cajun so I declined. I assumed the chicken would have come out with standard seasonings on it like salt, pepper or some Italian seasoning but it was the blandest toughest chicken. Thankfully they did remove the added charge for the chicken ($9) Additionally, when our food came out there was no fresh grated parm offered. I don’t know how any upscale Italian restaurant cannot offer fresh grated parm. Hopefully it was just an off night for them as I’d like to try it again sometime.

Osteria Marzano is a true hidden gem in Alexandria. The place is small and unique, with a warm atmosphere that makes you feel right at home. The staff was welcoming and attentive, which really made the experience stand out. The food was fantastic…especially the cheese wheel pasta, which was an experience on its own and absolutely delicious. Every dish had fresh flavors and great presentation. It’s the kind of spot that feels both relaxed and special at the same time. If you’re in the area and want authentic Italian with a memorable twist, definitely check out Osteria Marzano.

So we came specifically for the cheese wheel experience for our son to enjoy...as we had enjoyed in other restaurants. I am sad to say the taste was wasn't it. Too strong of alcohol...almost as if it wasn't cooked down enough. The texture was amazing and EVERYTHING else was phenomenal...we had the beef carpaccio and arugula salad and I had the lambchops which was divine. My husband had the limmone pasta. You can taste the freshness of the pastas and everything was perfect but, I was saddened by the cheese wheel. Burn off the alcohol more... Overall great place and our server Stephanie was magnificent. I can't give 5stars due to the taste of the pasta.

Delicious food, great service, and an elegant atmosphere. This place is incredible. What’s not to like. Fugget about it! Even the complimentary bread and olive oil with pesto was amazing! You can put that olive oil on anything and it would be terrific haha. We started off with the Bruschetta which was full of flavors. The chef definitely believed in garlic or they thought we were vampires lol. We followed that with an order of Parmigiano Reggiano from the Formaggi menu. Another great choice. We ordered a few rounds of their play on a margarita. I believe it’s called In So Mora. Crafted well with care and skill. They even doctored up one of bevies just the way we wanted. For mains we ordered the Ravioli Di Short Rib and Gnocchi. Oof mamma mia! Haha. Portions are great you will have leftovers for sure. Mi piace molto questo ristorante. Mangiamo!

Checked out this restaurant for date night. The food is made with fresh ingredients as well as some being imported from Italy. Authentic food is hard to beat these days. The service was top tier!! The place was clean and bathrooms too. Definitely a nice atmosphere. Plus I love the parking garage was free and had signs to let u know where the walkway to the restaurant was at. Signs again in the building to point u in the right direction too. Definitely a spot we'll be returning to. So many food/drink options. We were stuffed but the fact that the food is clearly authentic sold us on getting dessert. I had to try the canolis since they were the real deal...so although stuffed i took a bite and brought them home... delicious! Also having the pasta here made me really wonder what olive garden is doing because there is a clear difference in quality 😃 The drinks are tasty and creative. And I love that the staff was very welcoming and knowledgeable about what the restaurant offers. Definitely visit this spot if you haven't.

Stephanie was a great server. The Calamari is so fresh and seasoned beautifully! The ribeye with the black truffle sauce was so buttery with every bite. My server also surprised me with a small birthday desert. Definitely would visit again. Thank you for the experience❤️.

Manchester’s hidden gem! We came in a few weeks ago on a whim, sat with Mike at the bar and found a happy hour that was insane. Incredible deals on apps but the service provided by Mike was impeccable. We came back a couple weeks later and sat again at the bar again with Mike. We got tips on how to make my husband’s favorite drink a good ole old fashion. The music was lively and the staff by far has been the most hospitable team that we have had in a long time. Watching as the whole team jaived together, bouncing from one end to the other anticipating the needs of their guests. Coming from the restaurant industry tho was so refreshing to witness them interacting will all their guests. The food was delicious! The mussels and ribeye with rissoto my word! We had the pasta special which cant recall the name but the seafood and fresh made posts with the lightest lobster broth, AMAZING ! I wish that I would have gotten everyone’s names to give the team the well deserved praise they deserve. The whole team from the other talented bartender to the bar back, to the sweet Manager Crystal who checked in on us as we had our first cocktail to personally biding us farewell on our way out. We enjoyed suck pleasant conversation with their entire team feeling like part of their special family! Even the guest surrounding us were engaging in conversation, something this day and age lacks. From beginning to end this was an incredible night for my husband and I and to finish it off a warm handshake by the Chef himself! We will definitely be back with our friends and wish nothing more than to share this special place located right in our back yard! Thank you all Steph and Kam!!

The aesthetics of this place is amazing this one perfect place to come during lunch or for a date. I think they take walk-in's. The RSVP is recommended the server that I had was amazing. She was training someone also. This was a typical lunch date, just me and my son and my wife. My son had the spaghetti and meatballs. I had the penne à la vodka pasta. My wife had the blackened shrimp Alfredo. All three of these dishes was exquisite for dessert. We had the apple tart which was a special that day was also exquisite. This is a restaurant to be considered a hidden gem because of where it is located. But I will be back , to witness and enjoy the Cheese wheel‍

Mid food and mid service. Lot of little things wrong that ultimately equalled a below average dining experience. If you want REAL Italian food skip this spot, if you want romance skip this spot. If you need a quick bite and you're not picky about quality or service this fits the bill. Better Italian food and service at other restaurants with a similar or lower price tag.

It's a pizza night. SO ordered the SPICY HAWAIIAN: Tomato sauce, fresh mozzarella, pineapple, VA ham, and fresh jalapeños and for me, PEPPERONI & SAUSAGE: Tomato sauce, fresh mozzarella, pepperoni, parmigiano, and homemade sausage with mushrooms and jalapeños. UE delivered within 30 minutes. Both pies were hot and delicious.

Delicious food and awesome service! We hosted my parent's 50th wedding anniversary dinner here and the server was attentive, funny and kind (he put up with all my dad's 'dad jokes - and there were A LOT). We sat in a semi private room and ordered many different dishes, including the cheese wheel pasta. Everyone enjoyed their food and the atmosphere and service. I would definitely come back again!

The food was amazing. It exceeded my expectations. I love flavor and spice. I also like interesting ingredients. So when I saw their squid ink pasta that was a must try. It was perfect. I also enjoyed the steak on the risotto. The staff were friendly and very knowledgeable. Very helpful if you are indecisive like I am. I do admit, in the beginning I struggled to just pick one. Everything on their menu seemed like something I would enjoy. Ambiance was great as well. I truly have no complaints this is one of the better dining experiences I've had over the last few months. 10/10 recommend and will be returning for more.

My family and I had dinner at Osteria during Happy Hour and it totally hit the spot. The place has a cozy, welcoming vibe, perfect for a relaxed night out. We ordered the Pizza and meatball sliders off HH menu which tasted super fresh and homemade. Service was friendly and laid-back, and our bartender recommended great drinks that matched perfectly with the food. Prices are fair for the quality, and you definitely get your money's worth. Overall, a great spot if you're craving real Italian comfort food. I'll definitely be back!

Thankful for the accommodation on a busy Saturday evening. After leaving the St James, I decided to treat my nephews to one of my favorite restaurants. We sat outside which was perfect for us. Everyone enjoyed their food. Mac who was our waiter tonight was awesome! I always have nothing but great things to say about this place. Definitely make reservations on the weekends. Only downside we had was they don't have MOZZARELLA STICKS!!! My nephews LOVE mozzarella sticks lol but I think the cheese pull from his burger and truffle fries made up for it! Happy Yelping!

Delicious food and generous portions! Our waitress was friendly, attentive, and happy to answer all our questions. Every dish we ordered was well-prepared and full of flavor. They've got a large bar area with happy hour deals running all week, so no surprise it was packed. The interior isn't overly fancy, but it's comfortable and gets the job done. I was honestly surprised by how large the portions were but I definitely had enough for leftovers the next day, which is always a bonus. It's great to see more solid dining options popping up in NoVa. It really feels like you don't have to deal with the hassle of driving into DC just to find good food. My only complaint is that the cheesecake didn't have crust on the bottom. Idk when or why restaurants have started to remove the crust but please stop. Cheesecake without the crust isn't good.

Upscale Italian restaurant tucked away in a strange location (the ground floor of an office building in a hospital building complex) Although the place is upscale, and the prices reflect that, it does not feel stuffy at all Large bar area with a bunch of tables alongside, and a small dining room as well. Apparently they also have outdoor seating too, but it was both dark and rainy when I went so I wasn't able to see it Menu is very large, and they also have a rotating list of specials as well, but their signature dish is their pasta cooked in a large wheel of cheese. They also have a comprehensive wine list and a few cocktails. I came here for dinner on a Friday night with my GF. Even though we made a reservation beforehand we were still seated in the bar area, but we didn't mind at all. In fact, I think we preferred this My GF and I did not enjoy the cocktails that we each got, but apparently they are constantly changing their cocktail options. All of our food was great, and the portions were very large, but it took a very long time for us to get our food. Apparently, since I got the cheese-wheel pasta, since they only have one cheese-wheel, and since this dish was very popular, we had to wait for it to be available. This being said, and giving them the benefit of the doubt for this, I also had to flag down our waitress (who was very friendly I will admit) in order to get boxes for our food when we were done and to get the check as well. Very tasty complimentary bread & olive oil. We also got a charcuterie board that was huge and delicious!

What a fantastic experience for me to experience Italian in Springfield. The pasta was great. The branzino was really good. Great selection of wines. We had two bottles of wine and they were really good. Dessert was equally delicious as well. The ambience is pleasant and inside a corporate building. Spend time outside in open air near the fountains was very romantic. Service was spot on.

Amazing! Got a lobster pasta and there was a ton of lobster meat! Everything came out super fast, almost too fast haha. We were out of there in under an hour. I almost wished it came out a little slower so we could've had a longer date night like an hour and a half. We ordered apps and dessert too and only took 45 min and we left! Everything was amazing though and will definitely be coming back

This restaurant is amazing! The food and atmosphere make it so comforting. The service is also great! I know the managers and they are all super nice! I loved the ricotta honey spread with the bread as an appetizer. And then I loved the fettuccine bolognese! And we always enjoy the gelato or any dessert on the menu! Great food!

So we came specifically for the cheese wheel experience for our son to enjoy...as we had enjoyed in other restaurants. I am sad to say the taste was wasn't it. Too strong of alcohol...almost as if it wasn't cooked down enough. The texture was amazing and EVERYTHING else was phenomenal...we had the beef carpaccio and arugula salad and I had the lambchops which was divine. My husband had the limmone pasta.

First time visit. Very impressed. The ambience, the service, and the food was superb as was the chocolate gelato for dessert. Very generous portions. Excellent wine list. Nicely priced. Couldn't ask for more.

Service is excellent - attentive and helpful and the first compliment I give when I talk about this place. Food: We were celebrating a birthday with a group of 6 and wanted the cheese wheel experience- we got that and more! The calamari and the table side bread were both delightful! The Boar Ragu was rich and delivered over the thick noodles. Our friend had the Truffle pasta and the chef shaved them right at the table into the dish. Not a skimpy portion either. In fact, everyone had plenty of food to take home. The cocktails were unique and tasty ... collectively we sampled over half of them - I preferred the smoked old fashioned with chocolate ....it works, trust me!

I'm not exactly sure how this was our first visit. Unless we knew where we were going, we wouldn't have found the restaurant. It's in a commercial office space. You would even miss the door in the building if you weren't paying attention. This was the day after Valentine's and they were completely booked. Thankfully we found seats at the bar. We had a few HH drinks, yes even on Saturday (4-6). The bartenders were quick with recommendations. We ended with the cheese wheel experience and a seafood pasta dish in a lobster butter broth. I'm not too proud to say that I got it all up with the bread! This is a great date night spot or a good hang after work. There was even a large birthday group hanging out during our time there. We will return when we are back in Alexandria.

Food choices are plentiful and dishes are delicious. Service is pleasant and informative if you have questions on wine pairings. The restaurant has a high end presentation.

Customer service was great and they were quick, ordered take out on their website and got the lasagne. The lasagne was really good, right amount of cheese, perfect amount of meat, and soft. Definitely will try dining in person as the restaurant looked very nice

Update: My daughter really loves the gnocchi at this place and so I wanted to give the lasagna one final shot. I was really hoping it would work out this time bc it had been so great in the past. Firstly, receiving bread must be a thing in the past. We used to receive it with every order. I'm guessing that's not happening anymore. The presentation of both the gnocchi and the lasagne actually looked great this time. I took an initial bite of the lasagne and was pleasantly surprised. I was planning on writing an updated review praising the restaurant for fixing their missteps. The problem was my fork couldn't go through the lasagne. Couldn't figure out why until I turned it over and realized the entire bottom was burnt and hard as a rock. Guys...what are we doing here? I was rooting for you. Fortunately the gnocchi was fantastic. So it wasn't a total loss.

I love this place! They have a cheese wheel pasta that's one of the best pastas I've ever had. Getting here is a little interesting, because the restaurant is located in a big office building. The interior is really nice though and doesn't feel like you're in a corporate office building. We loved the cheese wheel pasta and the burrata which had really fresh tomatoes. The service and wine list are also really solid. I can't wait to come back for that cheese wheel pasta!

Came here for happy hour and wow do they have a great happy hour. Cocktails, beers, and bites all for less than $10 each! I got the lemon drop martini, arancini, and calamari from the happy hour menu and they were all delicious. We also ordered off the dinner menu, we got short rib sliders (YUM) and I got the clam linguine for dinner. The linguine and the white wine sauce were fine but wow the clams were cooked PERFECTLY. I did try my boyfriend's candied bacon mac and cheese and the homemade orecchiette was so good. Definitely will get a homemade pasta next time.

I heard this place had cheese wheel pasta so I had to come try! Started off strong with some great appetizers that were fresh and flavorful. The entrees on the other hand were a different story. The risotto was great, cheese wheel pasta was just ok (very one dimensional) and the carbonara did not taste like carbonara at all. Desserts were just mediocre as well. The service was great and the chef personally came out to check on us. Overall, the cheese wheel was a cool experience and there were some gems. Apps: Polipo (grilled octopus) and Mussels in Garlic and White Wine Entrees: Seafood Risotto, Carbonara, and the Cheese Wheel Pasta Dessert: Creme Brulee and Apple Tart Drinks: Old Fashioned and Falling Amalfy

I went here on Valentine's Day and enjoyed their pizza, mussels, and truffle fries. The chef and bar staff were so friendly, and the food was amazing. This Italian gem may be in a somewhat-random spot amidst all the large buildings on Walker Lane, but it's worth finding it for a great meal.

Dined with friends around the holidays. First let me say, it's BEAUTIFUL inside. Who knew something like this could exist is an office space hidden from the public. Although I don't remember what I ate for dinner, I will say that everyone at our table enjoyed our meal. Service was really nice, as we had questions about some of the dishes. And when we asked for recommendations, the server made some great choices! Oh, bonus points for the location having parking in the free parking garage.

This place is hands down one of the best Italian spots in the DMV! It's family-owned, and you can totally feel the love they put into everything--from the food to the hospitality. The food is next-level amazing. I highly recommend ordering from their rotating specials. When I went in late November, they had fresh truffles that were chef's kiss. And if you're there Thursday through Saturday, you HAVE to try the cheese wheel pasta. The chef literally brings out this massive 90lb cheese wheel and mixes the pasta right in it. It's super fun to watch and even better to eat. They even put little flowers on my pasta--so cute! Also, the Nutella pizza is HUGE and absolutely delicious. Perfect for sharing (or not--no judgment here). Bonus points for having happy hour every day at the granite bar, plus free EV charging and parking in the garage. Just a heads-up: it's inside an office building, so it's a little tricky to find, but totally worth it once you're there. This spot is perfect for date night, celebrations, or just treating yourself. You'll leave happy and full!

This place is legit. It is one of our favorite Italian restaurants in the area! We have ordered delivery here since the pandemic and also have went to the restaurant for meals. Our experience has been very positive. Everything is delicious on their menu, from the appetizers to the pasta and pizza options. Their dishes are so savory and delicious. I believe they make their pasta fresh. Highly recommend. It is hidden away in a commercial building (same building as the Booz Allen), but there is great parking nearby and the ambiance is perfect for an upscale dining experience once you get inside the restaurant. If you are looking for divey and casual, this is the wrong place, but if you're looking for a great place for date night in the Springfield/Alexandria area, highly recommend! Btw, staff is great here. We have always had good service.

Dinner here again. Not my choice. Had to sit at the bar. Supposedly, the tables were reserved. Did not see much traffic. Bad service at the bar. These guys can barely make drinks let alone serve meals. After being ignored for a long time, one of them finally took our order full of attitude and hurry. Food was good. My usual review -- good food, unreliable service and loud.

Winter Restaurant Week review (last month) Another successful restaurant week visit and this time at Osteria Marzano. The staff were very hardworking and attentive and I especially appreciated the service and care from our waitress Jacqueline G. The menu was specially priced for restaurant week so the deal was $55 for a delicious 3-course meal and additional for wine selection. We of course went with the cocktails instead and the choices were just right! Appetizers: I love mussels and you can count on me to order them anywhere that I go. This place, by far, provided the meatiest mussels I've had in a long time and the cream base was delicious and might I add, very scrumptious with bread. Large meatball: this meatball was seasoned to perfection and cooked right! Entree: I ordered the shrimp risotto and my boyfriend ordered the eggplant parmigiana. My meal: the shrimp risotto was a miss for me, the rice was a little too hard and it lacked flavor My boyfriend's meal: the eggplant parmigiana was delectable and I almost wished that I ordered his dish instead of mines lol Dessert: we both enjoyed my dessert, which was the tiramisu as he disliked his dessert (not pictured) but he ordered a Gelati Misti, which he explained was way too tough and lacked flavored. Overall, this place is very cozy and romantic. While I didn't enjoy my entree, the romantic atmosphere set the stage for couples to share a meal and good conversation. I would definitely visit again to try another dish and of course indulge in those mussels! It was overall, a good time!

Restaurants almost never live up to the hyoe in those viral social media videos but THIS ONE DID!!!!! I saw a IG video about Italian restaurants that have a cheese wheel and this restaurant was showcased in the video. Of course I made a reservation and drove all the way out to Springfield to give it a try. The restaurant is on the ground floor of what appears to be an office building, right next to INOVA Hospital. AND, there is plenty of free parking. The restaurant has a large bar in the middle, with plenty of seating all around, and qhat looks like private room(s) in the back. When we arrived for our reservation, we were seated immediately and, luckily, had 2 tables (as opposed to sharing 1 table). Our waiter, Miguel, had great customer service and recommeded some excellent options!! In addition to the bread that is brought to the table, we ordered garlic bread (it's worth it!), the cheese wheel pasta w/ added chicken (tasted great!!) as apps for 2, paccheri allo scoglio (was delicious, had LOTS of seafood, and the lobster butter sauce was amazing), and pappardelle (definitely recommend). All of the food was 10/10, highly recommend! I counted at least 6 other parties that ordered the cheese wheel. I will definitely be back to this restaurant again!!

We really enjoyed this meal for our belated Valentine's celebration. Host team was super accommodating as our initial table was in their back room where a large party was celebrating loudly and they kindly resat us to a quieter space. Our server was kind and knowledgeable. Food came out fast. We ordered the bruschetta and the mozzarella on that was delicious with good portions. We also had the special wild boar ragu parpadelle and the spicy pancetta bucatini -both were incredible and more than enough for leftovers. We also tried the creme brulee and tiramisu for dessert. Both delicious but the tiramisu stole the show. All in all, we will be coming back. This spot is in an office building and parking is in the garage you drive by before Google maps tries to take you to the main entrance. The garage has signs for the restaurant to guide you.

Oh my gosh. Please make a reservation and eat here tomorrow!! Walk in's are welcome but you may end up at the bar or with a very long wait! I recommend making a reservation at least 24 hours in advanced. They are so kind at the host desk. We are not from the area and we did not realize 16 miles would take 1.5 hours!! We we so late for our reservation and they held our table witch was very nice! Our server was super busy and did not great us for 10-15 minutes after we sat. But she was nice. ORDER THE FRESH TRUFFLE SHAVINGS IF THEY HAVE! They are so fresh and super delicious and light. However, be prepared to spend 50$ on them. But very well worth it! My partner and I split the cheese wheel pasta and had pappardelle noodle with it instead (great move by the way!) and the head chef came out and made it in front of us! I did not like that the table was too low so you couldn't really see down into the bowl for the process. If you sit at the bar and order this , you will be fine. I asked the chef for crushed black pepper or crushed red pepper and he refused to hive it to me and added extra fresh truffle on-top of my pasta and sat down next to me and said that I don't need it. At first I was hesitant but he was absolutely right!!! Best pasta ever, not overwhelming and not underwhelming, seriously just right! Dont order the crab cake, definitely not worth the $40. All in all great place, cute set up! The service just could have been better and more attentive.

Stephanie was an outstanding server. Made great recommendations and always Che led back several times to ensure a great dining experience! The food here is absolutely delicious and the specials are incredibly crafted. The ambiance is also subtle modern and sleek, yet the lighting is intimate and good for a romantic dinner or outing after work. They have happy hour as well which is very popular. Definitely a go back again spot. Oh and they have free garage parking with electric charging and free air/vacuum as well. Kind of nice if you need it.

After visiting Osteria I doubt I can have Alfredo at O.. G... again. I'll get to that. This is a spot in an inconspicuous location that's literally perfect for a great restaurant. The interior reminds me of a laid back 80's jazz club. Like a spot you want to hang just for the drink. Even busy we could have a conversation without raising our voices over others and clattering dinnerware. The calamari was tinder and fried perfectly with just the right amount of seasoning. Now let's get to the cheese wheel, WOW! It was aged perfect to perfection. So much flavor I now know why there's no salt and pepper on table. The wait staff is patient and very attentive. So if you want great Italian food do your taste buds a favor and try Osteria Marzano.

We made a reservation for this spot on Open Table for dinner on a Friday night. The restaurant was pretty packed when we arrived at 6 pm. We were seated immediately. The main entrance for the restaurant is located in an office building. We struggled to find it at first but once you walk into the lobby, you'll see the main door to the left. We ordered: -Arancini: fried saffron risotto balls filled with ham and fontina cheese, served with marinara sauce - The Cheese Wheel Experience: handmade fettuccine sautéed in a cream sauce and cracked pepper and prepared in a parmigiano wheel -spaghetti Neri: squid ink pasta with lobster and fradiavola sauce -tagliolini Al funghi: pasta sautéed with mushrooms in a parmigiano cream sauce. Our server Miguel was extremely nice and had great recommendations. The food was 10/10. I loved all of the options. The bread came out at the beginning with pesto on the side. The arancini was good too. I would have liked it to be a little cheesier but still delish. The cheese wheel experience, omg was absolutely amazing. They served our portion on two small plates and we both cleared our plates. No noodle left behind! My next fave was the tagliolini al funghi. The mushrooms were tasty and added a nice flavor to the cream sauce. Spaghetti neri was good. The sauce had a little kick. Definitely would love to come back again and try more dishes. The pasta dishes were all prepared very well.

We arrived on time for our reservation and were seated immediately. The server greeted us a few minutes later. We ordered drinks and dinner. We waited for almost an hour for an appetizer. The food was good, but we were at the restaurant for almost 2 hours just for an appetizer and dinner. We were seated by the window, so it was a little drafty. It wasn't too loud even though we were seated right by the bar. Parking is free in the garage across the street.

If you're looking for a special meal with amazing service, this is the place! I've enjoyed many dinners and lunches here and have always had a positive experience. Their steaks are delicious and cooked to perfection, but their lighter fare is also very satisfying. Highly recommend checking out the wine selections

Service here was very good, the waiter mase sure to take care of us and check on us often. Food was also very good. The meatballs were delicious. I had the Veal parm it was so tender. I asked for lite cheese which not to sure chefs understand but i scraped it off when it became to much. The past was delicious as well. My gf had the Mezzelune raviolis and she cleared her plate. She was dancing in her seat. Great meal and spot we became aware via tik tok and the cheese wheel. Great little spot on the outskirts of DC.

The vibe of this place is insane! Great for a date night or ladies night. I enjoyed the Penne Alla Vodka. I also ordered the Aracini which could've used a little more flavor in my opinion. The Fall into Almafy cocktail was delicious and refreshing. And they can make a good sidecar! The service was great. Several others ordered the cheese wheel experience which was cool to watch. I definitely have to find a way back to this hidden gem

The food and service here is excellent! We came in for a company dinner. Everything we had was amazing including the desserts. The pricing is decent and won't break your pockets. It's a little small but you will have a great experience. This restaurant is located in a building but you can ask the guard at front and they will direct you. There is a parking garage with lots of free parking.

Enjoyable Italian experience not far from the city. They have a pasta cheese wheel that is a cool experience and the portion sizes are really good. I liked the food but a combination of blah service, loud environment, and being located in a random office building probably means I won't find myself here again. That being said, it's pretty popular and can cater to large groups so might be fun for a birthday or office happy hour Bruschetta was very large and good. Meatballs were ok Ribeye and risotto special was delicious. Pasta was a bit bland

Overall the food tasted amazing. Service was great as always, and it wasn't too crowded today. We had reservations which I always recommend here, but there was plenty of space open at the bar surprisingly for a Saturday. The Pacherri allo scoglio special was great, but the ravioli that I got was disappointingly small portioned. I got a margherita pizza togo bc I knew I'd get snacky later!

Located in the middle of a business district nestled is an Italian dining experience with generous portions and rich flavors. The standout dishes include the cheese wheel pasta with shrimp and the mushroom tagliatelle, both bursting with delicious, creamy goodness. The appetizer of calamari is perfectly cooked and sets the stage for the hearty main courses. While the portions are satisfying, be prepared for a heavy meal that leaves you fully content. For those craving authentic Italian cuisine this is a place to check out!

The first time I went to this place, I was truly blown away with quality of the food and service. My second trip however, was very disappointing. It was a holiday weekend, so perhaps their main chef was not working. It is now a hit or miss restaurant to me.

I had a great first experience dining at osteria marzano. Everything tasted so good! The Tagliolini Al Funghi was delicious and creamy but very heavy. It was hard for me to finish the whole dish. Truffle fries were also great. Super crispy, flavorful, and I enjoyed the ricotta cheese it came with

Food and desserts were amazing. We celebrated our anniversary and it is the perfect date night. This place is a hidden gem...

Its been several months since dinning at Marzano's, its like going home! Another excellent night: service awesome, selections -- plentiful, quality of food-- top tier. Thankful to have such a great restaurant in the area. Keep up the magic!

My brother and his wife picked this spot to celebrate his birthday. Safe to say that the group was not disappointed. Our server, let's call her 'V', was excellent. She made sure that our drink orders, appetizers, and main entrees were accurate and appropriately timed. The calamari was very good. Not overly breaded, not overcooked, and certainly not chewy. My wife opted for the Deborah pizza without olives and she loved it. Three of us ordered the cheese wheel experience and it was quite the show. Overall the meal was excellent and the location inside the office building provided adequate parking in what amounts to a cozy setting.

Food was just average, but the service was exceptional. I would not go back again, though my wife and I had looked forward to the dinner.

Such a nice ambiance. Servers were attentive and food came quickly. There was so many pastas to choose from there's definitely something for everybody. I kinda got decision paralysis from the options but I got the squid ink pasta (spaghetti Neri) and loved it. I think it tasted the best out of our group's dishes and was complex and delicious although the tagliolini Al funghi was a close second. My partner got the short rib ravioli and we both didn't really like it. It was quite salty in some bites and lacked savory-ness in others. We didn't get to try appetizers or try the cheese wheel as we went on a Tuesday but will definitely come back to try those ! Overall we had a great time. Also for parking there's free parking in the garage and this place is located in the hotel.
