For their 48th wedding anniversary, we took my brother and sister-in-law to the restaurant of their choice--Marzano's. Ronnie was our server, and we were in gentle, experienced hands. From opening and serving our selected wines to helping with gluten free adjustments to food, to suggesting that the grilled peach appetizer would split better 5 ways with a second serving.....Ronnie helped us navigate through an outstanding menu.In addition to the magnificent peach appetizers, we had the mussels and clams with our first bottle of wine. The red wine broth they came in was so delicious that i was tempted to pour what remained into my wine glass! Perfectly steamed shellfish. Perfect! And enough for 3 people to enjoy.Dinner salads were a great size and the dressing was excellent. Then, bottle two and our entrees,Lasagne. A bowl full of beauty and perfection. Very generous serving. A Salumi pizza, with fresh, flavorful meats on a perfect crust with delicious sauce. Tender crust with just enough crispness to add that satisfying crunch when bitten into. My wife had a pork chop that was thicker than most filet mignon steaks. Perfectly broiled, it was cooked to perfection, moist and juicy throughout. Incredible cherry sauce on top, this was perhaps the single greatest offering of the evening (with enough leftover for a second meal!) We also had sea bass and lamb entrees that pleased those who ordered them. Everyone was very happy with their selections and the quality of their meals.Then, dessert. A fig tart, Tiramisu and Swedish Cream Cake and Pana Cotta. Two of the desserts were gluten free, and both delighted my gf wife. They also delighted all of us at the table, as we did pass around for all to sample. The pastry chef is truly gifted! Every table was full, and we saw the staff moving effortlessly from group to group, taking orders, delivering food, removing dishes, bringing beverages. It was almost like watching a perfectly choreographed ballet.The owner also circulated from table to table, greeting customers and meeting first timers. Just added to the feeling of being part of the family.One of my all time favorite meals with my family. Great service. Wonderful atmosphere. Stunningly delicious food, displayed perfectly. Despite all the others dining around us, it seemed that we were the only ones in the restaurant when everything that arrived was so perfect. And, oh. What heavenly desserts!!!!

This restaurant, I have learned, has been in business since the 1950's and it's easy to understand why. The food from entree, to salads, mains and dessert is incredible. The flavours are without par and they service is exceptional. Best of all, their pasta is cooked to el dente perfection. Even their bloody Mary's pack incredible punch and flavour. If you're ever in this neck of the woods, do yourself a favour and do not miss this place. Pop in and see Joan for a meal you will never forget. Prices are very reasonable and each table gets bread sticks, and a stack of bread to begin with.

My hubby and I absolutely love this place. You can get an 11'' pizza with any topping you want for around $8.20. The toppings are fresh, varied and you can ask for as much as you want with no extra charge. They also have gluten free crust which is perfect as my husband is gluten intolerant. If you are very sensitive to gluten, I wouldn't recommend this place because there is a lot of cross contamination. The gf crust is the best my husband has had at a restaurant. You go down a line of toppings, like you do at Subway, and tell them what you want on your pizza. Then they bake it right then and either box it up for you to take out or plate it for you to enjoy in their dining room. I highly recommend this place due to the price and great pizza! Don't forget the after baking drizzles or toppings, such as balsamic drizzle or fresh basil. Yum!
