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.
We had a phenomenal time here! We came here for the first time by suggestion of our landlord, our waiter, Mr. Ken was very kind! He shared with us all the popular dishes, he was very lively, very respectful and respectable. I would definitely come back here again!
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.

We were looking for a nice place to celebrate our anniversary and we found Marina’s on the Square. It is a lovely spot for a restaurant and was perfect for the occasion. Upscale enough for a romantic evening out but also casual enough to enjoy on any given day.It was our first time trying this establishment and our waitress was amazing. She was so nice and helpful. Her recommendations were great. I had the Tuscan shrimp pasta and my husband had the Cajun chicken pasta. The flavors were so good. It also came with choice of soup or salad. We both had a salad with a house dressing. They also gave us complimentary bread and we asked for dipping oil which was also delicious. We ate till we were full and had some to bring home. We also decided on getting a hot lava cake to celebrate the occasion to bring home but sounds like a marvelous dish served in house. Definitely will be coming back as we hear the calzones are very popular.
Favorite local Italian restaurant!!! Lunch 🥗 break from Christmas 🎅🏻 shopping 🛍! We love to come visit Marinas!! Italian specialities so delicious!Months later—-still loving 🥰 Marina’s!! It’s been one of our family favorites for years!! Tried a new dish this evening, the veggie pasta! It was delicious!! Can’t go wrong with Marina’s!!!💕💕
