Osteria Marzano

Easily the BEST Italian restaurant in the Washington Metro area. Not only is the food excellent, but the ambiance and the service make for an exceptionally classy experience with a family vibe. From Chef Carmine making his rounds with all the guests, to all the servers, hosts and bartenders greeting you with the biggest smiles, this is the place to be from happy hour, to date night, to private events, I’ve been lucky enough to experience them all at this amazing place. 10/10 highly recommend.

We enjoyed this restaurant a few weeks ago. We were surprised of the location and why we never knew it was there. Plenty of free parking available in the nearby garage. We made reservations and specifically went for The Cheese Wheel Experience. The food was fresh, flavorful, light but hearty. It’s the ingredients! When the ingredients are simple, the taste follows effortlessly. I surprisingly enjoyed the Ricotta Cheesecake. It’s not very sweet and the texture slightly crumbled in my mouth.

Best dinner we have had in a while! Service was great, food was incredible. We are already planning our next trip. Pictured- calamari, mussels (happy hour menu) tuna and butternut squash soup.
