Marino's Italian - Johnston

Incredible Family owned Italian Restaurant. We ordered a Sausage Calzone, Mannicoti, Salad, Breadsticks and Mozzarella Sticks. The Calzone was MASSIVE and absolutely stuffed with cheese (Mozzarella and Ricotta) no wasted space at all, and the seasoning ofthe Sausage was perfect. The Mannicoti was exceptional, the sauce that they make is a perfect pairing for all of their dishesits incredible! Salad was crisp and had a good amount of Vingarette Dressing, very pleasant. The Mozzarella sticks had a thickbut crumbly shell and an oozing center, perfection. All in all, if you have the itch for Italian Food? This is where you needto go!

We got this only because Chucks is still closed, thought we'd try it. Id say it was pretty good but not as good as I expected. My friend got the sandwich that is pictured. He said it was chewy, and there was only 4 meatballs on this (which Iwould have liked, as im not a huge meat person) but he was disappointed with it. They do make their sandwiches in a unique way,though instead of a standard bun, they seem to use dough and bake it. Thats the only special thing I remember about thisplace. I ordered cheese tortellini. Extremely disappointed. I could have made better on my own. Nothing special about itwhatsoever. My daughter got a cheese pizza it also wasn't memorable we got it 2 weeks ago and she didn't even remember whatshe ordered! Once I reminded her, she said the pizza wasn't good at all. I probably wouldn't eat there again. Just my honestopinion, sorry.

We had not been to Marino 's for a while so we were looking forward to the great service and food that we have always known. Instead, we walked into a mostly empty restaurant and still had to wait 5 minutes for someone to come out from the back and seat us. I get it though. Small businesses are hard to staff and run and I am a huge supporter of SB. I truely understand staffing issues and how hard it is. However, we were seated and left alone for 10 to 15 minutes. Finally we see the waitress as she snaps at the table next to us that they food she delivered is what they ordered. At that point we decided to leave. As we leave the waitress snaps at us OH, so you 're leaving?...SEE YA in a loud amd snarky tone. I replied yes, we have been here for over 10 minutes with no contact or water. She then proceeds to try to argue with me as I am repeatedly saying good bye. I have to be honest, I haven 't ever had someone do that at a small, locally owned business. Maybe it was just a bad time, however I cannot recommend this as a place to go until the waitress learns better manners and service.

Nice small Italian diner Spaghetti and meatballs were good Will return Parking: Small lot but always parking available Kid-friendliness: Saw a few Wheelchair accessibility: Seems be easy to get around the place

This was our first time coming and we LOVED it! Me, my husband, 7 year old son, Mom Dad all said their meals were amazing! We will be coming back! It was a pure Italian feel and the service was perfect! Definitely 5 stars!
