I've been trying to find a nice sitdown Italian restaurant. I've read good things about Marina's. Based on my experience last night, I can say that the reviews were spot on.From the minute we walked in we were greeted and seated very quickly. Our server was Ashley, and she was amazing. She was very pleasant to talk to. They even give you freshly baked bread for starters. When they ran out eggplants she suggested the stuffed shells. I was not disappointed when it arrived. My husband ordered the calzone and loved it. We ended our meal with Tiramisu. I would defintely come back.

Wife and I had lunch and the food was great. Ken was our server and did an outstanding job during a lunchtime rush. Great place to go to on the square. Will definitely come back.

We called one hour ahead on Mother’s Day weekend luckily and got our party of two seated immediately at arrival. It’s a unique mom and pop place we liked immediately. Bread in a basket was served with seasoned olive oil and balsamic vinegar upon request. My personal veggie pizza was loaded with vegetables and the mozzarella cheese was generous. Also the spinach stuffed shells and tomato sauce was noteworthy of being delicious and probably homemade. All of our food, two glasses of wine and two beers with two slices of cheesecake to go only came to $75. This place was so impressive, we agreed to come back sometime soon. I’d one hundred percent recommend for a date night or family meal. Lastly the staffing and customer service was perfection.

What a nice place to eat! The restaurant is very classy. The staff was friendly and very attentive. The prices were moderate and they serve big portions. I personally had the lasagna and it was delicious. I will definitely eat here again!

Had dinner last night with my family for my daughter’s graduation and it didn’t disappoint. Service was great and the food was to. We will be going back the next time we are in town.

We had heard how we should ck out this restaurant. Not sure if their chefs have changed, but a disappointing meal. Soup was watery, potatoes were undercooked. Chicken marsala - the chicken was so very heavily breaded that I could peel breading off. The chicken breasts were not prepared in the sauce for this dish because they accidentally served my sauce on the side. Sorry, too many other choices for dining. Hopefully, things will improve.

Atmosphere and waitress were great, the food wasn't sadly.Went as a party of 4, and all 4 of us found it to be lacking in flavor/seasoning and just swimming in tomato sauce.The Spinach dip was probably 5/6 out of 10, had a weird flavor to it. The Italian sausage and potatoe soup was a lot of broth and not hearty at all. Tomato bisque wasn't bad!The lasagna was like soup basically swimming in marinara sauce not able to fully enjoy actual lasagna part with so much sauce.Chicken parm was nice, the side of noodles was bland with an excess of sauce.The cheese ravioli were bland and I ordered a side of meatballs, the serving size was nice they were large but lacked any kind of seasoning or herbs it was bland.Eggplant parm was okay, thet rated it 5/10.We had to ask for bread at the table when our food arrived we saw others getting some but we didn't. The waitress was really nice and accommodating.I wouldn't recommend it for the food but the atmosphere might be nice for a glass of wine and dessert.

The atmosphere of the resteraunt is very nice. The servers and staff were so friendly and the food was delicious. My husband had the chicken parmesan and I had the lasagna. The potion sizes were just right as well. We'll definitely be coming back.

This restaurant was recommended and they were spot on. I got the Tuscan shrimp and my husband got the chicken marsala. The waitress was very helpful and very friendly. People were picking up pizza the whole time we were there so I would say those were good as well

Place was nice, busy. This review is good and not so good. I ordered chicken marsala with a side of pasta. The menu said the pasta came with marinara sauce. It came out with the same sauce as on the chicken. The sauce tasted like brown gravy with mushroom chunks. The mushrooms not sauteed and no taste of the wine. I ordered a side of meatballs (was hungry) and the middle was mushy like undercooked. Ok that being said my wife ordered the combo plate and it was delicious and the spinach stuffed shells were delicious. So like I mentioned, good and not so good. I did give feedback to the waiter and he seemed to really want to know what happened. I will try them again, could have been an off night.
