    Cheese ravioli
    Frank S.

    The family and I went to Marisa's for a quick bite to eat. We had made a reservation for 5:00 pm but were running late. We called to explain and the reservation person was very accommodating. Upon our arrival we were quickly seated. The menu is not extensive and is pizza oriented. This was not our first visit to the restaurant and I opted to try the chicken parmigiana entree - served with a small portion of spaghetti or penne and a salad. My daughter ordered the cheese ravioli while my wife ordered a salad. As an appetizer we ordered the fried calamari and bruschetta. The calamari were excellent, I have had them before and have never been disappointed. My wife and daughter enjoyed the bruschetta. The appetizers could have been a meal for us. The entrees arrived hot and looking delicious. My chicken parmigiana was excellent, while I originally wished the pasta side was a bit more substantial, by the time I had eaten every morsel of the chicken, I was glad that it had not been any larger. The chicken was moist, the marinara delectable, and the cheese perfectly brown and tasty. The spaghetti were al dente and just enough to accompany the chicken. My daughter was very satisfied with her cheese ravioli and my wife really enjoyed her salad. My side of salad was excellent as well. We all ordered gelato as dessert. I had the chocolate and it is one of my favorite desserts of all time! One thing to note: The pizza Margherita, while fantastic, comes with a sliced tomato on the top. If you prefer, it can be removed, just ask. The Takeaways: 1. Good parking. 2. A reservation is a must! 3. Great service. 4. The pizza is excellent! 5. House wines are good. 6. Sparkling Pellegrino, comes in a 16 oz. bottle. 7. Excellent price to appetizer/entree portions. 8. Great place for a family meal.

    Sausage and pepperoni pizza
    Hunter C.

    After hearing many great things about Marisa's Place, I decided to see what the hype was about. With that knowledge, I ordered a sausage and pepperoni pizza and mozzarella sticks. To get underway, I started with the pizza which was a New York style pie. The pizza was very good, but had some flaws. To elaborate, the flavor was excellent and the sauce was really tasty. In addition, the pepperoni was sliced perfectly and they loaded the pizza with it. On the other hand, I didn't love the sausage as I prefer actual pieces of sausage instead of the slices. Additionally, while the crust had great taste, the bottom of it was a tad soggy. However, I enjoyed pizza very much and it is one of the best in the Capital Region. Succeeding, I tried the mozzarella sticks and they were fantastic. To explain, the sticks were definitely house made and were breaded to perfection. Moreover, the cheese was fresh and had the perfect pull you want in mozzarella sticks. To top it off, the sticks were paired with a delicious homemade marinara sauce. These were some of the best mozzarella sticks I've ever had. In summary, Marisa's Place has really good New York style pizza and top tier mozzarella sticks.

    Tiny place in a plaza if you blink you'll miss it.....Wine Bar is appropriately decorated with dark ambiance and decor. Staff is friendly and accommodating. Disappointed in the wine menu especially since it's wine and beer only. Food is average.....

    Homemade mozzarella sticks and marinara, some of the best I've ever had.

    When you've eaten all the (homemade) mozzarella sticks, and everyone is still fighting over the marinara... When you tell people you're not a big fan of calamari, and then you wind up being the one who ate more of it than anyone else... When you came here for the pizza, and you realize the pizza was your 5th favorite part of the meal... ... then you know you've stumbled upon a good place to dine, even better when you can come with a group among whom you can order a variety of foods to share. I could not stop raving about (or eating) the items we ordered. That started with the mozzarella sticks and the calamari, but it also included the wings, crisp and with great flavor. The pizza was very good, and I enjoyed the toppings and sauce on their vegetarian pizza, but I wasn't as big of a fan of the cheese pizza or its crust. But again, the sauce and toppings are what make the pizza great here. We had a bit of trouble getting our table set up at the start, but that was because there was a lot going on there at the time. The beer list wasn't huge, but I was able to find things I liked. Definitely save room for dessert, in this case their peppermint cannoli. It's pink, it's delicious. Do yourself a favor and starve yourself for 2 days before coming here, so that you can try as much on the menu as you can.

    Well, I guess I may be the odd man out on our group's experience at Marisa's place. As part of a group of nine, so far the reviews are coming in higher than I would prefer to award. Let's start with where I agree with them. Their house-made Mozzarella Sticks were definitely excellent. Even though I prefer mine with Melba sauce, I recognize that if the breading is going to have oregano and other herbs mixed in you need to skip the Melba and go with a red sauce. Marisa's serves their Mozzarella Sticks with a very good marinara that goes perfectly with their sticks. The Cannoli are also a highlight here, especially the seasonal ones made with peppermint. They must fill the shells to order because they are so crisp. Even their regular cannoli with chocolate chips are worth saving room for. I also want to take the opportunity to point out how good our service was. We were not the only large party there. A birthday party for a four-year-old was ongoing when we arrived and it took up one whole side of the dining room with their twenty-five-plus people of all ages. The woman overseeing the bar area, which was also busy, apparently was also responsible for waiting on our group and I saw her numerous times attending to the birthday party. She never lost her cool and we never wanted for service and attention. I did observe another woman who occasionally appeared to clear some plates and deliver the candle-lit birthday cake, but I couldn't help to admire how composed our server was. As for the rest of our food, nothing really stood out to me that would make me want to rush back. The wings were about average, the calamari was very slightly overcooked (although served with that good marinara sauce), and the pizza did not do anything special for me. I thought the pizza dough was lacking in flavor and heavier than I would have expected considering its reasonable thinness. The end crusts were dry and chewy, not in a good way. The dough and the crust are the heart of the pizza for me, so even though the toppings we chose for our three pizzas were acceptable, I felt, overall, I could not rave about their pizza. Craft beer selections on draft are limited, so most of our party ended up choosing a Sierra Nevada Haze IPA.

    Amazing Mozzarella Sticks
    Corie Y.

    Well for starters, you must get the mozzarella sticks - you must. We dined in, which is a different experience as opposed to grabbing a slice. I need to come back to try the slices in the near future. Everything here was good, and definitely home made. We stuck with some tavern favorites for our meals, but the pasta dishes coming out looked pretty stellar as well. Starting with the Mozzarella Sticks, wow. These are home made, crispy, flavorful, top notch. Most places just serve the frozen variety, so these are a huge stand out. The calamari was also good, and went fast! The marinara served with both was delightful. The wings were surprisingly good, but a little inconsistent. The medium were spicier than the hot, because they were sauced more heavily, and the hot wings were the crispiest, because they barely had sauce on them. The garlic parm wings were nice and crispy too. The pizza was good, but I think their slices would be better. Everything was a little heavily topped. My favorite was the plain cheese, but I am not a topping lover. The sauce and crust was good, but it was a thicker style pie, not really NYC style like you will see next door. Still good, just being picky. Save room for cannolis - trust me. Freshly filled, crispy, delicious. It was a great night, with great people. It's small inside but its a great place to meet some friends or take the family out.

    Extra cheese and pepperoni pizza
    Sheem J.

    The pizza is so good here. It's just the hours that are soooo weird! First of all, A PIZZA PLACE THATS CLOSED ON SUNDAY!! Super Bowl Sunday is probably the biggest pizza and wings day of the year but Marisas for some reason decides to be closed! Then they're open from 4-9 on some days so getting pizza for lunch isn't happening. As for the food. Nice thin crust just like I love. Reminds me of NYC. Lots of good flavor in the sauce too. I got extra cheese and that wasn't the best idea for such a thin crust because the pizza was falling apart. Wings have a good flavor to them but it's probably just Red Hot. Hopefully someone realizes all the money that they are losing on Sunday's for football season and wisens up about the hours!!

    Chicken tenders BBQ on the side

    Nothing bad to say, but nothing outstanding neither. Blan tasting no flavor then what basically came out of the can. Tenders were overcooked but still somewhat edible. Fries blan store fries basically. I wouldn't revisit there is far better in the area.

There's a large dining room downstairs and one upstairs as well in addition to seating at their bar area. They also have a large outdoor patio. We were seated upstairs and our server greeted us immediately. We started with an order of their garlic knots, which were fantastic. I loved the red sauce too. They offer several different types of pizza: the New Haven Round, thin crust Grandma, Romo's Square and Gluten free. Once you decide on the style you want, you can then choose your own toppings or choose one of their specialty pizza offerings. Since my fiance lived in New Haven, we had to try their New Haven round pizza so we got the Queen Margherita as well as the Johnny Lawrence, which had sausage, cherry peppers, ricotta cheese and hot honey, in their Romo's Square 12 cut style. Both were delicious! Though there's nothing can compare to eating a New Haven pizza in New Haven, Anthony's pie does hit the spot. We thoroughly enjoyed both pizzas and we'll be back to try more things as well as enjoy their outdoor patio in the nice weather!
