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!!!!

Stopped in for lunch and ended up ordering two pizzas, a pineapple and Canadian bacon, and Margarita. Other than a salad, the menu is limited if you are looking for a vegetarian option. The Margarita pizza was delivered topped with congealed cheese and balsamic vinegar, some type of gritty red sauce and a sprinkling of diced tomatoes. The crust was alternately mushy in the center and doughy/gummy on the outside. Most boxed, frozen pizzas, as bad as they can be, are better than this "artisan" pizza from Farrelli's. The large pizza was $27 and a cup of coffee $3.75, so the grand total for one small pizza and one large, plus two cups of coffee came to a grand total of $49.16.

Maybe this place has had a change of ownership-or perhaps, cooks.I ordered the Alaskan cod fish and chips, with a salad on the side. I ordered no cheese or onions on the salad. Apparently that's all they put on it other than a large serving of sliced black olives and croutons, for that's what I got. Nothing else. Then: my fish. It was advertised as "Alaskan cod" but it was FLAT as a pancake, no, actually, a good pancake is not as flat as this stuff. Three pieces of FLAT fish. Over breaded, over cooked, dry as a bone, tasteless, and thin. Think a single piece of pita bread...that's how thin it was. My industrial crinkle cut french fries were just barely warm and not at all good. My husband got the pizza. It, too, was so thin it wasn't so much a crust as it was a flattened cracker...and the consistency was about the same as a cracker. A small, single serving pizza was no larger than a saucer.Parking was ample, the service okay, the bathrooms were very clean.IF I go back, (we only go there because our elderly friends find it a convenient spot to meet ) I am not sure what I'll order...but it won't be much. That way I won't feel as if I was overcharged for a low quality meal.

Met friends here for dinner on a weekday evening. Place was not crowded and we were seated immediatey. The menu probably has something for anyone's taste. The Tuscan Chicken and Lasagna were hits at our table. Service was good as were the prices. The atmosphere was nothing special but it was clean and comfortable.

Nice casual atmosphere and the pizza is pretty good. Not a big fan of thin crust, but this was the best so far. We prefer take home pizza, but would dine here again.
