Everything had a very homey mom-made taste :) The atmosphere is romantic and quaint, and the Italian server is a sweetheart. However the meals are fairly small and definitely pricey!Definitely make sure to give it a shot it's a great experience! :)Try the pizza and a bottle of wine. read more

Food is fantastic!!!! Chef was friendly and personal... Came out to say hello... Staff was helpful and attentive... Not a great interior or decor... Could use updating... read more

The food and service was AMAZING. Stuffed mushrooms and crab cakes started our meal and they were mouth watering.

Very disappointed after seeing all the terrific reviews. We ordered the Turkish Chicken Split Pea Stew and the Roasted Salmon. The chicken was very tough and the salmon was mushy--both were inedible. The water we ordered for tea arrived cold. read more

Fantastic with our large group. Food was amazing. Reasonably priced Really....I'm not sure when I've had food this good or service this great. Moved our party of 30 in and out in 1.5 hours. Owner worked with us to make a limited menu of Pasta Bolognese and a version of their Chicken Diablo past. Both were amazing. The Pesto dipping sauce for the bread is some of the best I've ever had. Service was on the spot. Had a very nice Cabernet for $9/glass. Superb. Absolutely in Memphis I recommend this place. It's independently owned. Wonderful dining area and reasonably priced. read more

This is one of our favorite restaurants in town! The food is amazing, the wait staff is SUPER friendly and knowledgeable!!! The music is FANTASTIC (The Rat Pack)! A must go if you are craving good food!!! read more

We met some friends at this restaurant. It was a first time for us, but they are regulars. WONDERFUL flavors....no feeling of being rushed. Food came out hot and well seasoned. Each of us had a different entree: steak tenderloin (could cut with a fork); shrimp scampi (hot, flavorful and full of shrimp); swordfish with side of risotto (amazing, and eye pleasing) and shrimp and lobster risotto( creamy, hot and delicious) We began with a crab cake appetizer...did I tell you there was crab in this!!! Wow oh wow!! Service was easy and not overboard....meals arrived just at the right time. Nice table clothes and good solid china....We plan to come back again. read more

True Hidden Gem in my opinion! Food was great, not crowded at all. Reasonable prices. Lucked in to it through a buddy that works in Clark Tower, he said to try it so we did. Really friendly service, great flavor in dishes. Had the Lamb and the Veal Saltimbocca, both excellent and perfect flavors. I would definitely recommend and I'll be back too! read more

I had heard great things about this place so I had high hopes. The food was just meh. We got crab cake appetizers and they were bland, for $14.00 I expected a little more bang for my buck. The entree - bolognese was also pretty flavorless. We were the only people in the place and the service was slow and barely friendly. It's so close to home I hoped it would live up to what we had heard - we won't be back. read more

We really loved this restaurant. The chicken parmigiana is the best we have had and the seafood stew was excellent. The waitress was superb and also split the dishes with no hesitation. Staying in a hotel and having food to take away is not something we like to do. We would rate this restaurant as a 5 star do the care the staff and chef take in the preparation of the dishes. read more

Fair cuisine while service left a lot to be desired. Empty water glasses, no bread till asked, additional bread requests unmet, no follow up on how our meal was. I expected more based on the prices and the ambiance. Could be so much more if staffed better. read more

My friend had a birthday dinner here and it was amazing!! The service was great. The food presentation fantastic!!! Overall AMAZING!!!

Had the seafood manicotti Loved it. It had noticable or large hunks of crab and lobster in it. When the warm bread comes ask for their red sauce to dip tr he bread in. Wife had the Ciuppino. Fish was good and did not fall apart. Liked the Caesar salad. Waitress was very good. My only suggestion is that the TV in the bar is not for her... then again it is a rainey Monday and there were only 2 tables seated. I liked this place a lot. read more

Great food, service, and surroundings! The coconut sorbet is as good as coconut gelato in Italy! We have never had a bad meal there - anything you order is terrific! read more

What a disappointment. Mediterranean chicken with peas was full of cartilage. My daughter's Chicken Marciano was very oily.

I chose this restaurant for my birthday dinner with my wife. We made a reservation a week in advance for Saturday night. Upon arrival the host had some confusion finding the reservation but eventually did. He sat us at a bistro table next to a party of 20. I requested a quieter table (not bistro style) on the other side of the restaurant and although there were several available was refused. I decided to proceed with the dinner next to the loud party. I then noticed a spot of dirt on my water glass and when the host came to fill it I asked if I might have a clean glass. He held it up to the light and inspected it as if I was making up the dirt. Our server was spectacular. Very polite and attentive. Food is okay at best. Decor is great. If they could get their service issues resolved this could be a good restaurant. read more

If you like Mediterranean spices, you will love this place. I've been here with different size groups 4 or 5 times and no one is ever disappointed. Chef Morteza is GREAT! It is not a Fleming's but it is a great little find in East Memphis.... great food and reasonable prices. read more

My husband and I had dinner at Marciano's this week. The wine selection is great for a restaurant of this size, with domestic, Italian, French and South American wines on the list. My husband ordered the stuffed grape leaves for an appetizer. It comes with a bit of yogurt in the middle. When the chef discovered that I cannot eat dairy, he made some more for me without the yogurt, on the house. They were wonderful. I ordered the rack of lamb with vegetables. The lamb was perfectly prepared, and the demi-glaze was really yummy. The vegetables were all fresh, and also perfect. The pesto for dipping bread was full of flavor and delicious. We will be back! read more

Love this place! How many other restaurants are there where the owner / chef personally comes out to greet you? Try the lamb - it's the best in the city bar none! read more

Advertise one menu on *.com but hit you with a more expensive menu that doesn't even have all the stuff on the *.com menu. Been doing this for over a year. Alcohol prices are outrageous! Food is frozen or tastes like it. Will never go back. AVOID this place. read more

After reading some good reviews, I was excited to try this (I had a $25 restaurant.com coupon), but I was incredibly underwhelmed. My boyfriend and I went here for a nice date night, and we got the chef's antipasti platter sampler, which was amazing. A great start! Then he ordered the crab cake appetizer along with a chicken ceaser salad for his dinner. I ordered the shrimp and lobster pasta. The crab cakes were really rather small, and they had a lot of tomatoes in them, which is unusual, I think. For $14, they were really tiny, and the breading was thin and kind of soggy. He said the salad was okay, and they did give a lot of chicken, which was nice. My meal was $23, and I got 7 shrimp, the meat of 3 lobster claws and a tiny helping of angel hair pasta. The shrimp were amazing, but the lobster was horrendously overcooked- near inedible. And I was incredibly disappointed with how little pasta I was given. I guess I had Olive Gardens generous helpings in my mind, and that's what I was expecting. It was barely a single serving of angel hair. Our bill was $70 ($45 with the 25 off), and it was really pretty disappointing. Absolutely not worth their high prices. The service was good, and the restaurant was pretty empty the whole time we were there, and we went at 7pm on a Saturday night, which was surprising to see only 3 other groups in the restaurant. Overall, I wouldn't go back, simply because their high prices do not match the quality or quantity of their food. read more

We went on a Friday night because yelp reviews were good. The restaurant was not full and we we were seated immediately. The service was terrible. It took fifty minutes the get food for 3 of us. We never saw the waiter during that period. When the food arrived, my tenderloin with lumpy polenta, veggies, & demiglaze was cold. . The other 2 dishes of veal saltimbocca & rack of lamb were adequate. We did not see the waiter again for 20 minutes to tell him about the cold food so I ate the steak anyway. When he finally returned, we told him about the food and he just walked away. He came back later saying he would give us dessert and bar drinks on the house. We got dessert and 1 coffee. They were out of several on the menu. He charged us for the coffee and overcharged on the lamb. My husband's menu said $28, but others he brought us others said $32 (all handwritten) so we paid the extra $4 in order to get out. Expensive night for very mediocre food and even worse service. A group at the table next to us left after appetizers due to the bad service and food saying they preferred chick fil-a to Marciano. read more
