Never again. Ordered dinner on risotto night. 2 orders of seafood risotto, a cup of pasta fagiloi, 1 order of gnocchi w/ meatballs, 2 regular caesar salads. The risotto was like cement, very bland. It had approximately 6 miniature shrimp that were like they were made of rubber, and about 10 bay scallops. The pasta fagioli was cold and had nothing in it. Keep in mind, I literally live about 200 yards from the restaurant, so my wife picked it up, paid, and brought it right home. The only reason I gave it 2 stars was because the salads were ok and the kids loved the meatballs and gnocchi. read more

I had high hopes for this restaurant. Several friends recommended it. But maybe my anticipation for a scrumptious meal got the best of me. I had a Makers Mark Manhattan at the bar prior to dinning. It was good. I ordered a NY Strip Steak with a side of Penne Vodka. I ordered the steak medium rare and it came out a bit more done then I was hoping. The Penne Vodka was excellent. I had a glass of wine with dinner (red blend). They have a large variety of wine by the glass however none of them were notable as good wine. My wife ordered the Lobster tail. She loved it but I thought it was over cooked. If I return I will order a pasta dish..... read more

Recently are here with a larger group. Service was fine. Water pitchers were filled quickly. The only issue was the woman was extremely loud and aside from a couple in the restaurant, we were the only people. Everyone except Me enjoyed their food. The salad was pretty pathetic. It didn't even cover the entire plate that it was served on. I ordered a steak for dinner. I asked for it to be cooked medium. What I got was the consistency of a piece of rubber. Since we were already 1 1/2 hours into the meal, I didn't say anything. As I said, the others all enjoyed their pasta and veal dishes. I recommend staying away from the steak. read more

I love these people who go to an Italian Restaurant for Steak, go to a steak place, this place has excellent made to order Italian dishes, steak lovers stay home! It may take a while to get your dinner but it is hand made from scratch, and served fresh and piping hot like food should be, always a great job Jackie! read more

Ehhhh...I'm shocked without any clear words to describe the food here. I ordered a full size pizza with mushrooms and pepperoni and out came this huge rectangular thing on a plastic serving tray. Just wanted to try this place out since I heard good things about the pizza in Jessup and saw the good reviews on Yelp but boy was I wrong! This pizza tasted like American cheese was used on this instead of mozzarella and tiny bits of pepperoni were sprinkled on like a frozen Ellio's pizza. I almost feel like this is some kind of joke and for $16! I think the joke was definitely on me. I mean, I could get better tasting pizza at Target than here! I'm sorry but maybe because I didn't order a typical entree, I can't really tell if the food is good here but just for pizza I think that's pretty shameful for an Italian restaurant =\ Or could be because I'm not a local too. Sorry, but not my kind of pizza. Ughhh!!! Yea if they really wanted to scare me as customer for coming back they sure did a fantastic job. Service although was perfectly fine. It's such a shame this place calls this pizza. Yea so straight to the point...DO NOT ORDER THE PIZZA!!! If you want your soul to remain alive. read more

Mariano's Cucina - a half eaten pizza on a pan - Pizza Near Me - Jessup, Pennsylvania

We have been eating at this restaurant for over 10 years. We are in Pennsylvania for only 4 months out of the year, but always make it a point to drive the 25 miles for one of the best meals we have while here, and for sure some of the most friendly folks to take care of you. If you are in the area don't miss it. DeWitt C. Greentown PA read more

This is an Excellent Italian Restaurant in a friendly small town. Great menu selections and prices are average. Start off your dinner with bread and warm white beans in oil and garlic. Simply delicious! Soups are delicious especially the pasatelli! One of my favorites is the sopressta risotto! Amazing! Waitresses are very friendly and service is great! read more

Great family atmosphere, good/friendly service & delish pasta. Try the rigatoni with sausage & peas. My bf ordered it and everyone had entree envy. read more

Wow, what a surprise this was! I was visiting NEPA and friends took me there. Not much on atmosphere but the food (which is the main event, of course) was fantastic! It really is worth checking out if you've never been there and are local. read more

Went to Mariano's, last night, for their Risotto (Wednesday night's special). Had martini's at the bar, which were very good & then we were seated in the dining room, that was not overly crowded. My husband & I both had the Risotto Special so you wouldn't think the wait would be very long, WRONG!! We were seated around 6:20, ordered immediately & our dinner (Rice Risotto) didn't come out until after 7:00. The waitress never came back to our table to check on our drinks, which were empty. When our Risotto finally showed up, that's when we were asked if we wanted anything to drink. It was probably another 30 minutes before she came back to our table to check on us. We asked to have our leftover food wrapped & explained our disappointment in our long wait & she explained it was because the table of eight (8) men took up alot of her time. Well this table of eight (8) men had been there when we were seated, that had already had their appeitizers & salads, so I'm not sure what was taking up so much of her time. There was another waitress on the floor, as well, but she had her own tables to attend to, again which were not many. Once our wrapped food was brought back to us, along with our check, we continued to sit & wait for her to come back & take the check but that never happened. So I took the check out to the bar & had the bartender take care of it for us. We usually like to enjoy coffee & dessert or an after dinner drink, but after putting in 2 1/2 hours for what was basically "RICE" for dinner, we left. Needless to say we wont' be going back any time soon. read more

Not impressed. First and last time there. The waitress was pathetic, lazy, and lethargic. Salads were basically forgotten. 10 people at the table, 2 little small plates of bread. Not a very large assortment of beers, unless you want Coors Lite. Limited menu. I ordered steak, the taste was OK, the quality of the piece of meat was very poor. What a huge let down. read more
