It came to the table with no mint, and I was told it's a mojito mix that they use. It was disgusting. Garlic bread 4/10 Frozen Texas toast, but no garlic. Just tastes like plain toasted bread. Italian Trio 9/10 - House made Meatballs 8/10 pretty good. Lot of sausage in the mixture. - Tomato Bruschetta 9/10 good, except the raw garlic was weird. Roasted would be better. - Sausage & Peppers 10/10 good. Mild. Juicy. Stuffed shells 9/10 The shells were cooked good. Strong sausage flavor, but good. Didn't taste much cheese, and the spinach was good but the flavor of it doesn't come through a ton. The vodka sauce with them was really good, and tons of mozzarella on top. Steak Mediterranean 8/10 Medium rare beef tenderloin tips. Cooked perfect. Sauce was really good. Noodles were cooked good. Again, tons of raw garlic, it definitely needed to be sautéed or roasted (that would make it a 10/10). I liked that they put the noodles and the steak on separate plates. Spaghetti & Meatballs 9/10 Noodles cooked good. Sauce was good. For kids- I don't recommend adding the chopped parsley garnish. Chicken Parmesan 9/10 Really good! Chicken breading was crispy and cooked really good.

I just simply ordered and then ate too much. The appetizer was some kind of fried rice and cheese balls. I asked the name twice but still couldn't catch it. They were very good but also 3 of them the size of softballs. And it was just me and my wife. I had ordered a steak and baked potato with a side salad. The salad was unbelievable it was more like an antipasto salad the steak was good but by then I was already too full to eat much of it. My wife had ordered perch platter. Wasn't crazy about the perch. But that is the only thing I could count against this place.

Marconi's is a classic American-Italian restaurant, that also serves terrific chef's specials…read moreweekly. Under new management, the place has continued the Martello family tradition of great, handcrafted food in a hometown setting, but with a bit of an updated vibe. First, they do a fantastic job with gluten free options, and the chef's specials are phenomenal, also often with a GF capability. They have an artisan pizza crust,; tortellini; penne; and a Parmesan cream sauce -- all GF! The pizza crust is really terrific - much more like a "real" crust (which, their regular pizza is something I miss!) and they provide you with topping options that go from routine to delectably less common. I highly recommend their specials -- the chef is super talented; I love the steak tips; chicken Marsala; and fennel sausage (when they have it). Gluten not an issue -- try everything!! The Caesar salad is quite good, and the house Italian dressing a tradition. Their staff is friendly (shout out to Christina and Kate, and my beautiful friend Angie) the bar staff (the awesome Staci and Diann) who are consistently rated best in the area; and upbeat manager Hailey is a delightful presence. You can't go wrong.

| Marconi's Italian Restaurant -- Huron's Heart, Italy's Soul…read more If you're heading to Huron, Ohio -- whether you're visiting family, passing through, or lucky enough to call it home -- do yourself a favor and make a stop at Marconi's Italian Restaurant. This isn't just a restaurant. It's a local institution. A tradition. A memory-maker. I've been going to Marconi's for as long as I can remember. It's where we gathered as a family, brought friends to impress, and celebrated everything from casual weeknights to meaningful milestones. The moment you walk in, you're greeted like an old friend -- because if you've been once, they remember you. That kind of warmth and familiarity? It's rare. But it's part of what makes Marconi's so special. Now let's talk food. Their homemade lasagna is an all-time favorite -- layers of rich sauce, perfectly seasoned meat, and creamy cheese that hits straight to the soul. And the calamari? An absolute must. Lightly breaded, crispy, and always fresh. It's the kind of dish that turns calamari skeptics into lifelong fans. The atmosphere strikes that perfect balance: rustic, welcoming, and just Italian enough to feel like you've been whisked away to a cozy village in the hills of Tuscany. They've got a beautiful outdoor patio for those perfect warm Ohio evenings, and if you're not in the mood to dine in, guess what -- they have a drive-thru. Yep. Top-tier Italian takeout right to your car. Marconi's also goes above and beyond with family menus, banquets, events, and catering. Whether it's a birthday bash, wedding shower, or just dinner for a crowd, they bring their A-game every time. It's that kind of versatility and hospitality that's kept them at the top for so many years. In a world full of chain restaurants and forgettable meals, Marconi's is a place that sticks with you -- for the food, the family feel, and the memories made around the table. An absolute must-visit if you're in Huron. And if you're a local who hasn't been in a while? Go back. They'll still remember you. And it'll still be as good as you remember.

The Gyro salad is also amazing. In fact, I have never been disappointed in anything prepared here. The selection of baked goods is amazing. The wine selection is also outstanding. ( Now for the other side of the story). Going back to the time when I was born (in Ireland, but this story began in another part of Europe) In the 1950's outside of Athens, Greece when a family traveled from there to the United States in search of a better life. The mother found comfort in a foreign land while working as a baker, hand-making the recipes she brought with her. She passed these recipes on, with love. Another begins in the 1980's on the Italian island of Sardinia when a young man in the U.S. Navy, met a local girl & brought her back to the United States to raise their family. She keeps in touch with her family & her homeland by importing the food products she grew up loving. Their stories eventually intertwine through a marriage. They bring these tastes of the Mediterranean & tlove of these foods to our community on the north coast of Lake Erie. Join in the experience!
