White pizza
Rebecca M.

Marabella was recommended to me both at my hotel and by the locals in town so that is where I went for my Italian dinner. They have been in business for 40 years so that speaks to the quality too. they started in Brooklyn but are now in Washington. Marabella's has its own parking lot and a drive thru as well. Although I am not sure if it is just to pick up orders already placed or if you can order at the drive thru. But either way that would be a convenient way to pick up dinner. I dined here earlier than I'd normally eat dinner as I didn't want to miss the NC State game. I was seated in the enclosed outside dining room. I'm not sure if it is just a sun room or if it opens in warmer weather. Marabella has fresh ingredients and makes their own dough and sauces. I had already looked at the menu so knew what I was going to order as I needed some comfort food as I was in pain from my broken finger. But I was given time to look over the menu which I liked and almost went with the scampi. Warm bread and oil was brought out while I looked through the extensive menu. Another table near me ordered a pizza and after hearing the reaction to that pizza I knew I needed to try that too. So I ended up with the fettuccine alfredo as my comfort dish and then ordered a white pizza so more cheese and olive oil and garlic. I was extremely pleased with their sauce. It was the perfect creaminess and not too heavy. The portion was large too and I almost managed to eat it all as it was so good. The pizza was fantastic as well and some of the best I've had. I only had a slice or two hot from the oven but the leftovers were just as tasty. It was cooked perfectly and all the cheese just melted so good. When it was time to pay, and they take the credit cards at the table, I was told my meals had been taken care of by someone. I'm not sure who did this random act of kindness or pay it forward but I appreciated their kindness. I'm usually the one who does the RAOKs so it was heartwarming to be on the other end of it. I wish I lived closer to Marabella so might have to plan another trip just to eat here again. It is worth the drive.

Straight up if you're in (Little) Washington North Carolina, this is one of the places you need to make sure you eat while you're in town! Marabella's has fantastic food. We had great service in a relaxed ambience. With an excellent wine list, fantastic fresh bread, baked in-house daily , a specials menu, in addition to an extensive menu to boot, there are plenty of choices to satisfy your pallet. it is THE choice for Italian when you're in the area!

Pepper appetizer was great value and had ground beef inside. The only size of gluten-free pizza is 12 inches, but with the enormous amount of toppings it's very filling. If you want good Italian food everything is excellent. My only nit which is outside their control is limited parking. They also have a drive through which I believe was put in during Covid. The tables are fairly close together giving you limited space to move around.

Fantastic, fresh, and delicious food. Came through Washington, NC this evening and came across this gem. If you are in the area this is a great place to stop.

Delicious Roasted Chicken, Onion, Green Pepper, Mushrooms and Cheese Pizza

Out of town and late night wanted a " Good Pizza "! Hotel staff recommended Marabella . Well in my opinion- Pizza was " Damn Good "- Flavorful, chock full of Roasted Chicken, Mushrooms, Green Peppers, Onions & Cheese Pizza

Salmon picatta in linguine

Found this restaurant in Yelp while working in Washington. Great, friendly service and fantastic food. Good local restaurant with plenty of tables for families with kids. I ordered an ice tea with salmon piccata. More than enough food for two so I just ate the salmon and mushrooms and a little bit of the linguine. The dining area has two separate areas separated by a glass wall. Definitely will be back when I come back here to work again.

An outstanding evening at The Mulberry House!…read more From start to finish, this was one of the best dining experiences I've had in a long time, and a huge part of that was my server, Kylie. She was warm, attentive, and genuinely made the night feel special. She was happy to accommodate modifications to my order without missing a beat, checked in at exactly the right moments, and brought such a positive energy to the table. Service like hers is rare, and it truly elevated the whole experience. The food was fantastic. The Torched Tuna Crudo was fresh and beautifully balanced, the Spicy Honey-Garlic Shrimp was packed with flavor, and the Seared Salmon was cooked perfectly. And the view! Sitting outside and enjoying the setting made the evening feel like a true getaway. If you're visiting, ask for Kylie. She's a gem, and The Mulberry House is lucky to have her. I can't wait to come back!

The sun hits just right in that little space. My point being, if you're coming at that time, opt for indoor seating. We were told that new owners recently took over and that the food was better. I can't speak to how it was, but it wasn't great this night. We ordered the whipped burrata cheese dip and it was tasteless. The bread was cold and hard and also tasteless. We then ordered the Caesar salad and they do offer anchovies, which is rare. But, it was also not good. At all. It literally had one crouton. One. We decided to call it and head out. The server was very sweet and attentive.

She was incredibly sweet and attentive. She seemed a little nervous at first, but she did a great job and made us feel very welcome throughout our meal. I ordered the Crispy Rice Tuna Salad, and it was excellent. The tuna was fresh, the combination of textures was fantastic, and the portion was much larger than I expected--I couldn't finish it. I also appreciated that the menu offered a good variety of choices, from lighter dishes to more indulgent options. The restaurant itself has a cozy, eclectic atmosphere with interesting décor that makes it feel like a hidden gem tucked away in downtown Washington. Add in the fact that they're open on Mondays when many nearby restaurants are closed, and Blu becomes an easy recommendation. I'll definitely return the next time I'm in town.

I've…read morelost count of the number of high end chefs whose meals we have enjoyed around the world and I'm not joking when I say that I can count on one hand the places that I would say are better than Blu. After numerous trips I still can't put my finger on what exactly is done differently at Blu to outperform so many fantastic restaurants. It's as if they have somehow managed the flavors of a Michelin restaurant with plating that isn't so... boring and sterile. Portion sizes are more than adequate, none of that one taste nonsense here. The service is always fantastic, professional and friendly. The owner is occasionally willing to share recipes with you and has never disappointed me with a recommendation. The cocktails? Just "wow". Perhaps what makes this place so fabulous is that they manage to do so well in so many categories. I'll consider that more in depth next time I make a reservation which may just have to be today. Speaking of, if you don't make a reservation, don't be disappointed when you don't have a seat. This isn't a place you can always walk in and sit down. They don't have many tables and it's obvious that they aren't the type of place to sit more people than they can take care of. Take some time, enjoy a drink and one of the best meals you'll have in the area. You won't regret it!

They have a nice selection of cocktails, many of which seem crafted to honor the local vibe. I had a cocktail containing a house distilled gin. Delicious. They also let my husband sample two of the house distilled gins before he ordered a gin and tonic. He was very happy. Kennedy, our friendly, knowledgeable server, brought out complimentary cornbread with brown butter/molasses butter and tomato soup shooters. Yum. They offer two- and three-course price fix menus, and for a few dollars more, you can make it a wine pairing. My husband did that, and I ordered off of the regular menu. His collard green salad was sensational! He couldn't stop raving about it even as he was finishing it up. His second course was filet mignon, and it was the most savory, tasty filet I've ever had! I had lemon risotto with asparagus and tomatoes - it was delicious as well. We were at the Hackney to celebrate closing on our house in Washington, and we made the perfect choice for a celebratory dinner. We will be back!
