Okay… I now have a new favorite. This place is an absolutely fantastic local restaurant. The staff really works hard to ensure you have an excellent dining experience… and the chef… he actually came out and apologized that they were missing an ingredient for the dish I ordered. However, seeing I was kinda set on that dish he was more than kind and offered to tweak the recipe just for me. Let me tell you it was fabulous!! On a scale from one to five I would give them a ten.
I love every bit of my time there. The restaurant was beautiful. The staff was top tier.My meal was excellent and came out in a timely manner. Excellent service. Will definitely be going back.!
First time here, wasn't packed, but the atmosphere was lively. Got seated pretty quickly and even had a candle lit for me. I order some white wine, a little too sour for my taste. I got the crab cakes as an appetizer, only complaint was that it had a little too much cilantro. I was also given some bread and pesto while I waited for my food. Can't say it was anything too special, but it was pretty good. As my entree, I got the 2nd veal item on the menu, I can't recall the name, but I ended up having to get it to go. I didn't mind the angel hair pasta until it was covered in all the super oily and salty juice from the mozzarella cheese and the white wine sauce I believe. The broccoli was good, but it sucked up all that oily juice, wasn't very good after that. The prosciutto was good after picking it off the veal and taking off all the mozzarella cheese, I had to pat the mozzarella down as well to be able to taste the cheese, was pretty good after that. It was an okay dining experience.
This restaurant was such a surprise! We were greeted by a sweet young lady who was not only the hostess, but took orders, and served. She was amazing and so pleasant even though she was responsible for serving everyone in the dining room. That was just the beginning. The food was amazing! Hands down....the best Italian food in Memphis. Everything was fresh and delicious. Give my compliments to the chef. We will be back. I had the special: sea bass with angel hair pasta in a cream sauce!!! I also tried the chicken mushroom pesto pizza on pita bread. DELISH!
We were invited to a wedding rehearsal dinner and the family rented the entire restaurant for the affair. I was not used to the level of cleanliness from the time you walk through the front door to the tables windows and bathrooms. The service was mediocre at best it was almost like fend for yourself. The food was absolutely terrible I did not eat 90% of what was on my plate I am not used to this level of food from an Italian restaurant or a restaurant that calls itself Italian.The chicken parmesan was definitely Frozen and was oven heated the Caesar salad had a very bitter taste to it and was not edible I also had salmon which tasted very fishy and oily.I am from out of town and visited this restaurant due to the wedding we were invited to and I would not recommend this restaurant to anyone who appreciates good food or service.
Was here a few weeks back and had ro come back. They truly are a gem. Delicious food and awesome atmosphere.
Well slept on well kept secret for Italian with a sliver of Greek flair! The seafood manicotti was beautifully pairs with a homemade Alfredo sauce and Romano cheeses oozed from on top and within. The pesto, fresh you could taste the basil, garlic every herb titillated my tongue with every bite. The bread was smooth, warm and supple with every scoop of pesto. The Greek spinach salad could have used a stronger more flavorful salad dressing but everything is homemade which ok can appreciate. I loved that pesto so much I can’t stop thinking about it.
Was a quiet night but it was perfect -The service was great and my server was very sweet.Salad wad great -But my Veal Parm was off the chain and perfectly done.Hats of to the detail that the chef does to make sure you food taste and looks fantastic.
It was nice and cozy. It's billed as an Italian/Mediterranean restaurant.However, there's not much Mediterranean to it. It was pleasant, but what I ordered was mostly bland.Plum sauce was bitter, and the chicken was lacking. The waitress was very nice though.I'd taken my best friend for a 2 day belated birthday present.
Had dinner at Marciano Wednesday night with family members. It was a great experience. Our dinner was much better than I expected. Everything was tasty! I am a native Memphian and I have not heard much about this restaurant. I could only see one fault - the exterior of the restaurant could use some updating. It should be overlooked and try this restaurant - you will be glad you did.....
