Patronized this restaurant often usually with a great dining experience. Made reservations for table of 5 for a get together anniversary dinner. Over an hour for entrees to come out & NOT busy at all ! Upgraded our soups to French onion which all barely had any melted cheese & overly salty. Dominic M. came out asking how everything was as we waited in more long anticipation of dinner..... The couple celebrating their anniversary both ordered the tripe dinners....Finally our dinners came out. Both tripe dinners were of a very strong burnt taste as was confirmed by all at our table...the tripe was burnt & served! ?? Waitress NEVER followed up to check how meals were & had to locate another waitress to address the 2 botched burnt meals which were remade as our dinner time together eroded away yet again in more dissapointment. Dominic came to apologize & at a loss for what happened. Dom delivered the meals, however at this point they asked for takeout as too much time passed pushing a 2 hour dinner tour with no follow up accommodations made in the interim. Waitress asking "if we wanted dessert"! I thought was a joke, given 2 diners experience were blown up not even eating! Check came reflecting the total which I felt was completely unsatisfactory given these circumstances & kindly asked for an adjustment for this huge dissapointing dining experience which I feel should of been automatic. As pictured the 2 tripe dinners are not on the bill. Gladly would rather of had things work out & feel Dominic dropped the ball & could of addressed the couple with a comp drink or simple "we value your business". Not much care given to the table in light of this chaos...plus you forgot my meatball on...
Read moreWe arrived at Marianacci's for our 7 p.m. reservation and were greeted and seated immediately by a very friendly hostess.
Our server, Lauren, was also very warm and polite, and brought us our wine along with two slices of what appeared to be store-bought Italian bread and several butter tabs.
I ordered a cup of cappelletti soup, while my girlfriend ordered a salad with a side of ranch dressing. The salad was average, consisting of greens, red onions, and croutons. The soup was very bland, comparable to a Wonton soup instead of a chicken broth.
For my entree, I ordered the lasagna which was buried in a flavorless, slightly overcooked "meat" sauce that consisted of a small, lone meatball sitting on top of the lasagna. There was no meat between the layers, very little ricotta cheese, and a slightly moderate amount of Muenster cheese.
The lasagna was disappointing, but the generous serving of pasta primavera was excellent. The pasta was al dente, with plenty of sundried tomatoes, broccoli, and a pleasing garlic wine sauce.
The Italian decor of the restaurant was tasteful, but the lighting in the main dining room was bright and harsh.
Despite the friendly and professional staff, the experience was underwhelming. Perhaps, just like the pasta primavera, there are some gems on the menu, but I would stay clear of the traditional tomato...
Read moreToday was the first time eating at Marrianacci’s, and I couldn’t be more impressed and satisfied. We ordered a 12 cut tray of square pizza. To our surprise, it came with an order of boneless chicken bites. The pizza was the best square pizza I’ve had in a long, long time. The sauce had a really good flavor, the cheese was good, and the crust was baked to perfection. Super crispy, but not burnt in even the slightest of ways. The boneless bites were phenomenal, and cooked perfectly. The sauce was delicious, too. When I received the bill, I was shocked at the very reasonable price, especially considering the high quality of food. The woman who brought everything out to us (I believe she may have been one of the owners or the owner’s wife) was extremely kind, attentive, and personable. This was the best dining experience I’ve had in a long time. And we will definitely be back in the future. 10/10, I absolutely recommend Marianacci’s to anyone looking for great quality food, at...
