Marciano's Restaurant

Even after being told that the service was lousy, my co-workers and I decided that we wanted Italian for dinner. Since Marciano’s was near our work, we decided to give them a try anyway. Boy, were we wrong! The sign on the outside of the building says, “Happy Hour Sunday 12-6pm : Half Price Appetizers. (It did not state ‘where’ you had to purchase the appetizers or how you could purchase them)
Our meal was purchased as a take-out, when we asked for the total over the phone, we were given what we thought was the correct price. Once I had arrived to pick up the order I was charged double. Although slightly annoyed, I politely paid the woman and asked her to please tell whoever had quoted us the meal price to please make sure that they gave out the right price for others. After bringing the order back, half of the clams in the order were still closed, and the calamari was slimy. When the food was returned for being undercooked, the owner (who was extremely rude) proceeded to tell me that "we don't want customers like you here, you're just mad you had to pay full price". When I noted that it was uncalled for and that I was not upset at having to pay full price, he proceeded to "PRY" open one of the closed clams and tell me (as the slimy little creature slid out, what looked comparable to cracking an egg) that there was 'nothing wrong with the clams, I was just being ignorant'. I became very offended and replied, "If you think those clams are good I want you to eat them, I had no problem until I noticed the food was undercooked. And I'm not going to pay for something that isn't cooked correctly." He then proceeded to go on and on “Do you know what the health inspector gave me, do you, we got an A for being so clean.” I proceeded to reply that “you may be clean but your food is still undercooked, clams like those are what cause people to get sick”. At this the owner told me that he was going to "phone ban" me and my co-workers because "we could get our food some where’s else”. At this point I was very annoyed with the owner’s attitude and the disrespect that he had for having someone notify him that the food was being undercooked. Instead of just replying with a simple “Ok, sorry, here’s your money back”, he did not even acknowledge that the food was bad. REAL BAD! As far as this restaurant is concerned, I will not eat there again and I will be making sure to tell everyone I know that the owner has no concern for the well-being of his customers. All I can say is that I should have listened to what others had told me and spread the word that the restaurant is bad news.

Went to restaurant because I hear the owner on radio. Somewhat disappointed, very very noisy and the food was average, won't be back for dinner. Maybe I will try the lunch.

Great place to eat in, not the cheapest restaurant but worth the money

Along with their regular menu, and daily specials, Marciano's offers a great daily BUFFET LUNCH for $5.99.

Soup, salads, pizzas, pastas, etc.

We tried it last week and were totally happy.

Sunday morning buffet is great too!

We go to Marciano's Restaurant at least twice a week. Their food is delicious and their prices are reasonable. They have creative daily "specials" along with their regular full menu, and an Italian buffet once a week. There is also a Sunday morning buffet of eggs, pancakes, etc., as well as a "breakfast pizza". Our favorite meal is their vegetarian pizza with red sauce. We always order one of their great appetizers and by the time we finish, our abundant pizza is served. When we order one of their full meals, we are never disappointed. Everyone at Marciano's is friendly and they bend over backwards to make customers happy. I don't know what happened with the first reviewer, but we have always found the owners to be gracious and warm. We tell our friends that they must come to Marcianos, and highly recommend it to anyone who wants a great meal in a friendly atmosphere.
