Joe Stortini has run Italian restaurants for decades, having sold the Mama Stortini's store in University Place, in the 1980's. He had to return under a new name, but kept the family recipes. I love Italian food, and count this as some of the best I've had, having eaten his fare (along with other Italian) in the area, over 4 decades. I just wish he had a good Valpolicella on his wine list. They have an Italian deli, and serve pizza as well.

When a customers ask their waitstaff for clarification on what type of proteins source is on their pizza i.e. pork or beef and the waitress arrogantly provides inaccurate information that can be harmful - given the dietary constraints some face. Furthermore, when a person pays in cash they expect to receive their change back, so they can decide on how much they 'want to' tip. Lastly, drinks were not refreshed nor was the table clean when my party was seated for our lunch gathering.

If you have been to Olive Garden you know it is good but not necessarily good for you. Heavy carbs coming your way. Remember the salads all have lactose.

An evening spent with friends, perfect location. Good Napa wine suggestion. One of party of 6 needed gluten foods, no problem with many choices. Bruschetta was delightful. Rack of lamb, chicken piccata, & various spaghettis were wonderful.

We were a group of 24 seated in a beautiful banquet room with 2 other large groups. The room was spacious and we didn't feel crowded. It was a lively place to celebrate. Our very pregnant server Katrina was amazing except for carrying heavy trays of food she served us with cheer and was friendly to all as she went about taking orders. We all just loved her and wish her the best when the time comes for her child to be born. Other staff pitched in from time to time and they were all very cheerful and did their jobs well. Kay the manager was in and out to see that all was going smoothly. I spoke with him about his great staff and how pleased we were with our experience after our event was over. This is a well run restaurant with pleasant staff and it is very clean as well. Definitely we will be back!

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!!!!
