Overall, the customer service was excellent. Our server was attentive, friendly, and provided an outstanding dining experience. The ambiance was also very pleasant and made for an enjoyable atmosphere. However, I was disappointed with the food, particularly the pasta entrées. While the quality was decent, the portions were extremely small for the price, making them feel overpriced. The serving sizes were noticeably skimpy, which took away from the overall experience. Although the service and atmosphere were exceptional, I expected much better value for the cost. read more

First time here and certainly not last! What a cute atmosphere with intimate setting. The service was very attentive. All food served together for our table or 4. Portions are filling. We got the Rigatoni con Salsicca with no cream and it was delicious with pasta cooked al dente. The lobster ravioli was good but very seafood taste if that's what you're looking for. Dessert menu has something for everyone. Tiramisu made in house. Affogato was a good serving. The lava cake was perfectly warmed up. Parking is parallel parking in this walking area. read more

My pics are blurry bc I dropped my phone and my camera is all messed up. Anyway, I've been here many times and it's always a pleasure. I can't say enough about this place. I came on 2/23/26 after work needing to getaway from having a hard day. Perfect place to do it. David is exceptional! I love the spill he gives when he introduces on the menu and goes over the items. I was there for HH. I let him know I wanted a cocktail and he made me his favorite, Black Manhattan. So good, the best manhattan ever! Then the pasta I got was so dang on good. I forget the name of it but just know, moving forward, every time I go there, I'm ordering these two items. I think they just got a new regular customer. It has nice vibe and great setup. read more

Another great meal and service at Marianna's! Not only the food was great but the ambiance was very welcoming. I mentioned in an earlier review that the bartender tended to be too loud. It seems that situation was resolved. He was working and restaurant was quiet and offered the atmosphere for a nice restaurant. We each had the wagyu ribeye! GREAT job! Food was cooked to perfect temperature and the sauce and mushrooms were fantastic. We also had the clams and mussels as an appetizer - also 5 stars! Special shout out to male server (Andy?). His knowledge of wine list, menu, and food flow helped make this a perfect night!! Cannot wait to return!! read more

This place is a go to for us! Their happy hour is great, and they often have specials where you can find lamb, which they make really good! The staff is very friendly and attentive, they make you feel like we've know them forever! It does get pretty busy during the week, specially at the bar which is where we sit, so make sure you hurry there! read more

Marianna Ristorante - We loved our pre-dinner cocktails! - Italian Near Me - Renton, Washington

I like that they have carbonara on the menu and it is made with actual eggs, it was good but I would've liked more salt. I ordered the lava cake and that was delicious. I also had the dinner salad with the blue cheese. It was refreshing. We came in on a Saturday before the dinner rush so we were the only ones in the restaurant. The hostess was lovely but we asked to be moved to the bar because that's the only way you get the happy hour prices. Even though it was very slow it still seemed like a whole between drinks and such. Not terribly bad, but for being the only ones, it was slower than I anticipated. The place is big and quiet. We enjoyed it, but nothing stuck out as special. read more

The food was good, not perfectly authentic, but close enough. The service was ok for me, but we got there before the crowd arrived. The crowd was there in full force when we needed our check, and can see how it could be bad for others. However, my waitress was good so I can't complain. One thing that was odd was that my son ordered a pizza which arrived before the pasta my daughter and I recieved. When his pizza arrived a lady came by to offer him some fresh real Parmesan cheese. He said no, and that was the last we saw of her that evening. She never came back when my daughter and I got our pasta - odd! I liked the atmosphere and that doesn't come through here on Yelp. If you've been on the fence about this one, then I'd say give it a try. It's fun and worth a visit. The kids enjoyed the food too! Oh and the Pizza crust is closer to Papa Johns texture vs the thin crust you get in Southern Italy. If that doesn't bother you then you'll love it. read more

Sometimes you just want to walk into a restaurant and let the day wash away; be greeted nicely, get a great drink, and food. And that is just what Marianna's does. I've sat at the bar, and sat in a booth in the bar area and between getting to have a chat with Santiago or whomever is working the bar - it's just a nice way to bring the day to a close. And I have to mention the empress gin, elder flower, and fresh lime juice drink that we had the other day. I didn't feel like making a decision - said that I'm usually a gin or vodka person - they had me at Empress gin. Highly recommend a visit! And highly recommend this cocktail! read more

We continue to eat at this great Renton restaurant. The food is excellent and the service is wonderful. The Gorgonzola sauce is over the top. We take our grandson here, too. He says they have his favorite pizza. Highly recommend the restaurant for friends, family and dates with your significant other. read more

We had 3 things off their rotating specials menu. The risotto, the fillet mignon, and the fried mozzarella ball. All delicious except the skirt steak on my risotto was extremely fatty. They put real anchovies in our Caesar salad! Bread was soft and amazing. Service and ambiance were where they lost points. Service was perfectly adequate just nobody seemed happy to be there and it was a kinda downer. And we were sat in a dusty corner staring at a chipped paint wall interior and the side of a building exterior with an air conditioner wind tunnel blowing on us the whole time. Fresh parm grated on our food was a nice touch! read more

Service was quick and the staff were very nice! Went with some friends for dinner and we were all happy with our meals. Everything tasted great and the portions were perfect. read more

Very old building in the heart of downtown Renton. Biggest problem is lack of parking so plan accordingly to drive around the block because the few parking lots are always full. They have a full bar, pretty extensive wine list and a nice size menu. Bread and dipping sauce are complimentary and the balsamic oil mix was delightful. I decided on linguini with clams. It was good, plenty of clams but a little too much red pepper for my taste. Others might think it just fine. My husband got spaghetti bolanease and said it was good. We ended with panna cotta with a berry mixture on top which our server said was made in house. It was probably the best part of the meal. They have pizza as well and we thought at some point we'd like to go back and try that. read more

Food was outstanding; I ordered the gnocchiletti Alfredo, which was delicious. Service and ambiance were excellent. I highly recommend and I would certainly return next time I'm back in the Seattle area read more

Ordered a pizza and a seafood linguine in red sauce. The pizza was delicious but the pasta was very bad and smelled awful like bad fish. I think it was the mussels were bad. I paid almost 40.00$ for that dish and literally threw it in the garbage. Neither myself or my wife could eat it. read more

The restaurant and the food was amazing. The only complaint I had was the waiter. I enjoyed his service at the beginning and he was amazing but when the restaurant got busy he forgot about us and it was very difficult to enjoy after. read more

Wonderful Service! Our server Adam was very kind and catering to our table. Food was delicious and would recommend the limoncello cake

Everything about this place is enjoyable, to me. 3rd year going there for annual holiday get together with my friend. Wonderful happy hour menu, attentive staff. Love, love , love the bartender. Homey and cozy read more

I have been a fan of Marianna's for quite some time. Their raviolis are to die for! The ambiance was great as well, really paired well with the dinner. Bruschetta as the appetizer is always a win. The portions may look small but due to their rich flavor it is very filling. Service was good as well. read more

I was in need of a quick bite on my way home. I was so glad to find this hidden gem. An not just go to my usual stops at The Landing. What a great little spot, Marianna's is. Such a a very warm and inviting restaurant. The menu had quite a few favorites. The food was delicious. I definitely plan to return again. read more

A real gem in Renton. The best pasta and salads in the Seattle area! Lots of choices and fresh ingredients. The balsamic/oil they provide for bread dipping rocks my world. Great pesto & marinara and spicier sauces...meats, desserts...all of it! Lovely ambiance, private & quiet. Lots of comfy booths. The bar has great cocktails and a lovely bartender guy with a huge smile! read more

I really like the food at Marianna. I also enjoy the bartenders humor and level of service. Everyone there is nice. The managers and owner have greeted us almost every time. The atmosphere is warm and inviting with just the amount of light. Now the food! The meatballs with any dish is my favorites. Whatever I get, there are going to be meatballs on the side. When I'm in the mood for Italian cuisine, this is my spot. I wish I was good at names, but I'm not so I will just say that everyone in the restaurant is absolutely stellar. Their level of service I get is always a cut above the rest. read more

The service was good. We were confused which wine to go for, and the server make sure we had the right wine. However, the bruschetta and Tirami su were just average. read more

I don't particularly care for pasta but everyone in my group was craving it so we decided to find somewhere. We hate all of the options in our area, I swear Snohomish county has the worst selection of food. This place was open late so we decided to try it. I couldn't tell if our bartender/server was annoyed we were there or not. She wasn't very enthusiastic and didn't greet us, but I saw her smile and laugh a few times. Anyways, I didn't realize the menu options would be so odd. I wanted tortellini but I don't like ham and I've definitely never been somewhere that has ham in their pasta. My friends got a pizza and a pasta dish that had Gorgonzola and added chicken. My tortellini was alright other than the ham. The pizza was good. The pasta dish with Gorgonzola with chicken added wasn't very good. The chicken tasted like it had been cooked on a propane stove and the propane left like a chemical taste. Thats the only way I can describe it. My friend asked for ranch for her pizza and they said they don't have ranch because it's an authentic Italian restaurant. I think this place is overrated and not worth the money at all. Would not return and I wouldn't suggest going here unless it's your only option in the area. They were open later than most in the area read more

Marianna Ristorante - Tortellini alla Panna - Italian Near Me - Renton, Washington

Had a lovely quiet dinner with my husband pre-Valentine's Day. The restaurant was very cozy and had an old school Italian vibe minus the red and white checkered tablecloths. We enjoyed the calamari as an appetizer. The beet salad was a little flat/basic. Penne alla vodka was delicious and had hints of pancetta. Veal parmigiana was prepared well. For dessert we tried the Torta Della Nonna. Wasn't prepared for lemon flavor, described as vanilla custard and it was a little underwhelming. If you are craving Italian, menu had variety of options and wines by the bottle were reasonable. read more

Food was great, service was top notch. Server did keep addressing just my partner. Loved the wine selection Happy to eat local read more

I haven't been to this restaurant since before the pandemic. I remember enjoying the food, the way that it looked inside, how great the staff was. And now in 2023, everything is the same. The staff was gracious. The food was delicious, and the decor reminded me of a little bistro in Italy. Check out my photos. We had a really great meal and great wine. Make sure you check it out OK read more

I want to start off and say that the service was great! The waitress was kind and attentive. However, the food was disappointing and I wish pricing was more transparent. Cost wasn't an issue until we started dining and found the meal to be under seasoned, so seeing the bill at the end and discovering that the sides that came with our dishes had additional costs was upsetting. The paella was under seasoned. The prime rib was overcooked. The garlic bread was so dry that it was comparable to croutons. But the drinks were great. Maybe just visit the bar and order appetizers; the truffle fries were the best! read more

What a great romantic spot for a date. A gem in downtown Renton! Sometimes parking can be tricky.

First time here, the bolognese and lobster ravioli were both fantastic, tip from our incredible server Daria was add meatballs to the bolognese.. definitely DO! Nice music in the background made it very inviting. We really had the best time. read more

Skip the Caesar salad. $7 for the amount they gave was crazy. It was just enough to cover the bottom of the plate. I wish I took a picture. Tasted alright, but not good enough to justify how small it was. The quality of the mussels was not good. You can see a range in the picture I took. I ate the clams. Those were fine. The bolognese spaghetti was okay. I added a side of meatballs (2) for $8. It was not goof at all. I took a bite out of each just to make sure. The texture was odd. Not like a meatball should be almost slime-y/dough-y/clumped together. The taste was worse. No taste. It was pathetic. Complimentary bread with dipping was decent. read more

They started us off with bread and olive oil. The bread was ok but the olive oil with vinegar was good. I ordered the truffle fried. The sauce was good. I had a bite from my friends 'orders.

They have the BEST calamari. And the sauteed mushroom appetizer was a Hobbit's dream. The ravioli had an excellent depth of flavor, and I had to work to keep from licking the plate! Also the service was extremely attentive but without being annoying. You could just tell the staff we're paying attention. We will absolutely be back! read more

This place was a great experience, the other restaurant we wanted to try was booked & we stumbled upon this place & I'm glad we did as our service was good, the drinks were delicious, the steaks were so GOOD!!! Everything on our plates were devoured because it was all so good. If you're looking for an intimate place I wouldn't say I had the intimate vibe from this place as it was quite loud but we also sat in the bar area around an hour past HH so I'm sure that would have something to do with that aspect Overall a good experience and we would love to visit this place again read more
