This place is a pretty good spot to check out. It's a little different from what I am used to. It's not a sit-down service, so you have to order your food at the counter, similar to a fast-food restaurant. For the type of establishment it is, I really like the place. I recommend the Rigatoni (with vodka sauce and ask them to make it spicy). The flavor of the sauce was a lot better than I was expecting. I will say that the quality of the food is great for the price. I will definitely go back again. One major gripe that I have is they charge and fee for dining in. To me, that's a little sneaky and ridiculous. I am choosing to spend my money with you, don't charge me for doing so.

One of my favorite places to get Italian food! I’ve had a handful of items off the menu; from their pasta to their pizzas to all of their apps, everything is fresh and delicious. My favorite is the Antonio pasta without sausage. I add in jalapeños and the pan-sliced veggie pizza. The last time I went, we also ordered some desserts, and the seasonal turtle cheesecake was delicious. The staff is fantastic. They constantly check up on you, and the place is friendly. They have a big room if you have a large party, and I recommend this place. I’ll be back to try more!!

My wife and I stopped in last week, about an hour before closing time. It had been a long day. We were tired, and hungry! We were spending the night in an area hotel and stopped at Marino's because, well, it was open, and we didn't seem to have many choices. We are so glad that we found this gem! The staff was friendly, greeting us as we entered. We were quickly offered some delicious bread and put in our order, which arrived quickly. We had the calamari, which was perfectly fried, tender on the inside and with a great marinara sauce. We opted for a thin crust pizza on the recommendation of the staff, and were happy with the results! The pizza was chock full of toppings and on a wonderfully crispy crust. We also had a nice bottle of wine. Overall, we had a great visit, and both my wife and I commented that if this restaurant were in our neighborhood, we would probably be regular customers!

Really? I asked for no tomatoes and they put them on there. I'm allergic. Great job. Also, as much as the sandwich is, I should get more the a thin slice of ham. I could have mafe myself a bread sandwich.

My family and I love going to Marinos. The food is excellent, we have never had a bad meal. We really like their lasagna, buffalo chicken tenders, soups, pizza and salads. The owner is always there to greet you and to make sure all is okay. The staff is also outstanding! The only bad thing is that now we don’t live so close to the restaurant. I also used to work close enough where they would deliver to my work.

Been coming here for almost a decade. Food and service have always been excellent. My go to is Italian beef but sometimes I like the pasta. literally, everything on the menu is fantastic. The place can get crowded during lunch as it caters to a lot of the local businesses. Do urself a favor and sprinkle parmesan over olive oil on a plate.... Dip ur bread in it. Omg... Come here, u won't regret it.

The place has an impressive appearance when you walk in. Very clean and well put together. Samples of all the hot food, and their different salads are made fresh daily and put in the display case up front. The food is great, a combination of salads, fried appetizers, and traditional Italian cuisines, and a decanter of olive oil at every table. I believe they had a full bar as well. It seems to be a hybrid establishment, meaning it's fast and cheap enough to go on a lunch break, and nice enough to sit down for a casual first date.

We ordered dinner from here. I ordered the chopped salad and it did not disappoint but their house made balsamic vinaigrette is *chefs kiss*. It’s so incredibly delish that I would order any salad just to get that vinaigrette! 10/10 recommend!
