Marzano Ristorante

April 28, 2023 - First time here. Went with my Uncle and my wife. Ordered fish entre of sole and bronzini. The fish was okay but not very flavorful. The filet/portion was surprising diminutive (it looked like my uncle and wife both got half portions??) with lots of vegetables and potatoes. Our service was okay and we felt rushed in the beginning as the restaurant went from empty to filling as I think our waiter was hoping to quickly turn the table..... we got dessert all three of us and no appetizers. No drinks. The bill was almost $250 for three people?????? Wow.

I had a taste for authentic Italian food while I was on vacation, so I went to this place for lunch. Everything was so good, I had to restrain myself & eat only half. Plus the service was superb. I'll be back!

I have been here several times and had take out a few times as well. How ever after my last take out order I am done with this place.!What I got was a joke no way would they ever serve this this food to someone one eating there so why would you for take out? Crumbs of burnt chicken. Salad had two little crumbles of Gorgonzola cheese. It did not have any candied walnuts at all. Does this look like a $14 salad not including the up charge for grilled chicken. Will never ever get take out again from them!

The service and the atmosphere were both very nice. The food was very, very mediocre for the price point. We had:- Bread: The bread was fine. It should have been served with olive oil, not two plastic packets of butter. - Calamari: This was ok. It did not have the jalapeños that were advertised. - Arancini: Not good at all. Very, very mushy with a layer of beef that didn't need to be there. - Veal saltimbocca: Also not good. The veal was tough. The prosciutto lacked any crispiness. The cheese wasn't quite melted all the way. There was no sage flavor. The dish was covered in oil. - Ribeye: Very, very not good. The steak was big. The temperature was right. There was zero-- and I mean zero-- flavor. - Crème brûlée cheesecake and tiramisu were both fine. Neither were particularly large portions. It was $135 for two without tip or drinks. I can't imagine we'll be back.

My first time in Jenkintown, my son had a Football game in Northeast Philly and after the game he wanted Ravioli. Using Yelp, I found Ristorante Marzano.Walking in I got the feel of a family run restaurant. The hostess and waitresses happily greeting regular customers by name, even though it was our first time here my family received a very warm welcome. I note that because I've been to small local restaurants that I've felt slightly like and outsider compared to the regular patrons, but not at Marzano we felt comfortable and welcomed.Our waitress Josephina, was attentive and efficient with her service. Marzano provides complimentary fresh hot bread and butter for your table that was excellent.We ordered Calamari, Arancini and Antipasto as our appetizersThe Calamari is very lightly breaded and tender, the Antipasto was enjoyable and the rosted peppers are excellent, my favorite was the Arancini which was very close to my Aunt Maria's Arancini (by Italian Family law I can't say it was as good as hers) I could have easily eaten 2 orders of the Arancini myself!My son, who's craving for Ravioli was the reason for our visit to Marzano, got his Cheese Ravioli with red sauce. He loved them so much that unfortunately he finished them all and poor old Dad didn't get to eat one!(He's grounded!)A friend of our also order Ravioli with Pink Vodka Cream Sauce (as listed on the menu) she also cleaned her plate and was happy with her meal.My wife ordered Paccheri Cremosi, again I was angered because she enjoyed her selection so much she didn't leave anything behind for me to finish off! I order Bolognese Sauce with Linguine cooked Al dente, the menu had it served with Rigatoni which is logical, so that the sauce is captured inside the Rigatoni, but I love to twirl so Linguine for me. To my delight my Linguine was served, as ordered, Al dente!!! Marzano is a real Italian Restaurant but this confirmed they are a proud Italian Restaurant! I always order pasta Al dente but sadly, either the waitress in other restaurants doesn't relay that to the kitchen or the kitchen in other restaurants doesn't comply to my request. Marzano cooked the Pasta perfectly Al dente and the Bolognese was delicious! I finished the pasta and cleaned my bowl with the fresh hot bread. Nothing left for anyone to sample!Think we are done?! Nope! Dessert time! We got Oreo Cheesecake, Raspberry Cheesecake both excellent!!!! And and order of Creme Brule Cheesecake to go for my Daughter(she loved it!)When we were done my wife had to roll me to our car! I was full and happy on our drive back to South Jersey! If Marzano was closer we would definitely be regulars, if we're ever in the area again we'll be back.

Dependably good Italian food. Pizza and believe it or not steaks are pretty exceptional.

This restaurant has a spacious parking lot at the back. Very spacious dining area. They can accommodate a couple of groups of private parties.They do not have paper menu. You can see it by scanning the QR code or they will lend you an iPad.Our waitress was very nice and attentive. The complimentary Italian bread is warm and crusty. Fried calamari wasn't heavily breaded. Instead of being served in rings, they came in bite sizes. Fresh and perfectly cooked. Pear salad: arugula with poached pear and goat cheese. I normally do not the bitter flavor of arugula but this one isn't bitter at all. Very delicious and didn't have too much dressing.My entree is halibut with crab meat served with potatoes and vegetable. Big slice of the halibut, the crab on top is a bit too salty.Dessert menu isn't available online. Instead the waitress brings you a tray of the available dessert options, very inviting.Peanut butter pie is delicious and so is limoncello cake. Tiramisu is ok.

The service was terrific. We were greeted with smiles and seared immediately. The server was professional and informative with the specials. The atmosphere was very nice. The restaurant is simple, but nicely, decorated. Very clean. But the food was less than good for the expense. My salad was the romaine spine; white and hard. The entire salad! My veal was very good, but the tomatoes were too few and the arugula was more lettuce than my salad had! The tiramisu looked (and tasted) like it had been left out overnight. All-in-all, not what I expected for $120. No- I would not recommend and I'll not be returning.

Excellent Excellent food and service! Definitely will be back! We celebrated our daughter and had the best evening!

Food is always great from the fish dishes to the Pizzas'Their Salads are very large and always great.Waitress staff is always accommodating and courteous.It is one of our top favorites. Diane L
