This is an Armato’s pizza from the place in Marion OH. Not only was it burnt to a crisp but they had the audacity to even put it in a box for a customer. This is pathetic and NOT ok. Very disappointed and will NOT go back. More

Pizza is nothing special whatsoever! Bland taste for what it is. I'm not sure how this place stayed open for as long as it did. They're FINALLY closing down shop! Not sure if that's due to their bland food or the overpriced menu options. … More

Came to Marion briefly one afternoon and randomly decided on this place. It was a nice setting and probably very busy in the evenings. Service was very slow but friendly. I got the chicken diavolo pasta and my spouse got the steak sandwich … More

We came here around 8 on a weekday with a family of 4. There were a few people sitting outside and a few people in side. We were seated immediately and were greeted by our server promptly. She was very knowledgeable about the menu and answered all of the questions we had. As an appetizer, we got the bruschetra, which my daughter is not fond of tomatoes, but she tried it and actually liked it! We each got our own pasta dish. My husband got the ravioli with the spicy diavolo sauce. I am not a fan of spicy, but I tried it, and it was delicious. My son had the pasta primavera, which was one of my favorites after I tried everyone's. My daughter had the 4 cheese tortellini with marinara sauce. I had the chicken and mushroom Alfredo. I loved my dish. It all tasted great, but it still would have been just as good with or without the chicken. All of the pasta dishes were served with garlic bread... I normally do not eat bread, but this bread was dangerously delicious! You do have an option to get a small or large portion, which is great. Our waitress was phenomenal. We never had to ask for refills and knew the menu very well, helped with recommendations, and knew how everything was cooked. The area was clean, and the atmosphere was relaxing. We definitely will have to come back so we can try more things!

First time here. Our waiter was fun, friendly, and made great suggestions. We only had to wait around on him when we were waiting for the check. This place was hopping with all ages, from high schoolers having their prom dinner, to elderly. We saw no children there whatsoever and no high chairs. It definitely feels like this is THE downtown place where people flock to when they come to Marion! There was an outdoor eating area with a man playing acoustic guitar with songs by Stephen Bishop, America, Bread. It was just lovely. No booths. Regular tables and chairs, "high" table (not bar height but counter height) up against the windows. A birthday party was going on in the private room. At about the halfway mark of the restaurant, there is a bar 🍸 and on the right is the door where you will be seated outside. **If you wish to eat outside, go into the restaurant, NOT outside, and let them know you want an outdoor table. The courtyard seating is lighted and has a beautiful walkway and plants. I watched an employee plant strawberries into 3 stacked milk crates and I bet they will be just beautiful in bloom. When you order pizza you have your choice of sauce: Marinara, Pesto, or Olive Oil. I ordered a drink and it had a heck of a lot of alcohol in it--actually, too much. We also got a charcuterie board and the board was a cute State of Ohio cutout. There were little breads, 3 meats, honey comb and spiced mustard as well as cheese and garlic dill gerkins. We each ordered a pizza but our mouths watered when we saw the size of the meat portions of dinners as well as the humongous garlic bread. This is one of our new favorite places to go when it's just the 2 of us. I highly recommend! Order type Dine in Meal type Dinner Price per person $20–30 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5 Recommended dishes Garlic Bread, Meatballs, Create Your Own Pizza, Three Cheese Tortellini, Caprese Salad Parking space Somewhat difficult to find parking Parking options Free street parking Parking There is parking on Center and Prospect Street, parking in the city parking lot and parking at various nearby buildings parking lots. Park and walk. It's well worth it and you have lighted cross walks with signals.
