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.

    Wonderful place to celebrate our 29th wedding anniversary. We were greeted very promptly and had great service. The food was delicious. We even received a congratulatory card from the host when we were seated.

    The food is outstanding. We have been coming here for more than 20 years and have never been disappointed. This is my family’s favorite restaurant in the Seattle /Tacoma area. Great service, exceptional food. Better than restaurants at 2-3 times the. Price.

    Marzano is an absolute gem of a restaurant with consistently excellent food and phenomenal service. Of particular note, the lasagne is a must try, the bruschetta is always excellent, anything with pesto, and their tiramisu is the best.

    I always enjoy MARZANO. The service is first rate, choices/specials are a splendid variation from the already spectacular menu. My go to spot for fresh Italian FOOD and great wines when traveling in the PACNW.
