First of all, could hardly understand the waiter, and he got a little annoyed with us. Food was not that good. Had seafood with pasta. Red sauce was too chunky. Not even sure what what was in it! Only good part was clams and mussels.

My family and I had the pleasure to dine at the Marianna Ristorante last Saturday to celebrate a birthday. Immediately the atmosphere was wonderful as the host welcomed us by opening the door. We were greeted by a waitress and a waiter named Dave. The service that we got was outstanding. They were so professional and tentative and this made our experience worth coming back! The food was a mouthwatering the calamari was amazing the muscles were out of this world. We had such a good time dining here. I grew up in Italy and this experience took me back to my grass roots. The server Dave made me and my family feel very comfortable! Thank you for such a great evening I made reservations and will be returning tonight! I am sooo excited!

They have a creative menu and really good salads and pastas. The seafood is always fresh. The one thing that keeps it from being perfect is that their Pizza in my opinion is just okay.

What a great find. The food was delicious. My Italian margarita cocktail was exactly what I want from a marg - fresh lime and not too sweet. Our server, Lucy, was exceptional. She got like quadruple sat right after my bf and I were sat and she was still so attentive and it was easy to get her attention if we needed anything. She suggested the perfect pairing for my veal Marsala, which was also delicious. Bravo Lucy, and thanks. Great dinner. Can’t wait to go back

The food & dessert were really good, which is why they got 3 stars instead of 2. There were 5 of us there & my pizza came out 40 minutes before everyone else got their food...40 minutes. And it was warm, not hot, when I got it. The eclectic waiter never came back to ask us for a second round of drinks. I wouldn't have minded the long wait for the food IF we were asked for another round of drinks, and if my pizza came out as the same time as everyone else's food. All of our food was really good, but the kitchen time for food & the waiter were terrible.

Amazing food and drinks. Atmosphere is nice a little dark not very well lit. Server in the bar was amazing and knowledgeable about the specials and offered suggestions.

I really need to go back. A great family run restaurant with delicious entrees for reasonable prices. Feels perfect for a special evening and yet warm and friendly if you drop in for a casual meal.

Very unimpressive lasagna- worse than frozen from the store. Bummed I wasted the money and calories on it. It was more like a fast food enchilada: 3 wide fat noodles, with weird tasting chunks meat between then, drownd in sauce with cheese melted on top- probably in a microwave. Not a vegetable in sight. It lacked the nice textures lasagna should have: stacks of wavy noodles, ground meat, crumbled ricotta and BAKED cheese.

Very cozy restaurant, friendly staff! Delicious food! I felt the prices were very reasonable. If you want cheaper Italian (like) go to olive garden, but I assure you it won't be as fresh and inviting to your palate as this place. We were celebrating a birthday and our waiter (Tyler) was excellent and sang with me to my love ❤

I visit this spot a lot since I work nearby. I got to say the service is always good and they keep the spot well kept consistently. Pricing is fair and they serve generous portions.

Showed up early 10 mins before opening hours. they still accommodated us with drinks. From beginning to end this was one of the best experience I’ve had in a long time! Food was awesome! Drinks were great! Most importantly our server Joseph “James the Waiter”(inside joke) was AMAZING!!

Great customer service from everyone in the place from the hostess and beyond. And excellent food. We sat in the bar area and we were quickly seated, listened to and ordered one of the specials as well as enjoyed the meal. One of our favorite places to visit when dining in Renton

Great food and the staff is great. The water is always pouring which was great because I was parched at the moment. Nice location. Great to hop around downtown spots before or after. Will sit at the bar next time. They do need lambrusco though. Makes it a 4.8 lol

The service was AMAZING. I got the Siciliana picante pizza. The flavor was there, but I feel like the pizza crust could of been cook a little more. Don't get me wrong I still inhaled it. My girlfriend got some salmon pasta that even I liked, and I don't like seafood. Don't remember the name of hers, but I added a photo. I also got some of their IPA to wash it down and it was probably the best beer I've ever had. The prices are extremely fair, and our server (didn't get his name) was perfect. Super friendly, knew the menu and ingredients like the back of his hand. I live no where's near this place, but I would def go back!

The food was delicious. The service was terrible. Half the table ordered pizza. The other half ordered gnocchi. The pizza was brought out at least 1/2 hour before the gnocchi. Half the table were done eating long before the other half got their food. When asked where the rest of the food was, the waiter shrugged and said they were very busy and there was nothing he could do. It would have been better to not cook the pizza until the gnocchi was almost done, and bring everything away the same time. Apparently timing the food delivery to the table is not something they practice or are able to do. Very disappointing experience.

Fine dining in Renton! The house wine is a delightful montepulciano. Atmosphere has mood lighting, actual linens, and fun, attentive staff. Last visit I had the carbonara and it was equally delicious. A great spot for a date or a family meal.

Brought my father here for lunch. Service was exceptional! The server Cristian was very attentive but not overbearing. Food was equally amazing would definitely recommend the meatball appetizer! Will definitely be returning in the future! Definitely a secret Renton gem that I am happy I found!

We had been wanting to try this restaurant for a while and we finally went in yesterday! The place is lovely inside, classic, elegant and beautiful, with a very Italian feel to it. We went in at an off hour, too late for lunch 🥗🍴 and too early for dinner 🍽 so we had it almost all to ourselves. Our waiter Erik was very pleasant, courteous and friendly and the food authentic and delicious 😋 the cesar salad 🥗 minestrone soup 🍲 and pizza 🍕 very tasty and filling. The whole experience makes us want to go back 👍🏻🍷🥖💟

I was sorely disappointed in visiting as they were totally out of gluten free pasta for my partner . I'm from out of town so I won't get a chance to try them again. I ordered Linguine Vingole and found it so salty I found it inedible and had to return it. I enjoyed the atmosphere and the sever Ann was fantastic at finding out what options were available for gluten free.

First and foremost, the service was excellent and staff were all personally attentive. The dining area is quaint with great atmosphere, albeit a little noisier than I personally like. The food was very authentic with great selection and enough serving size to share amongst our table. Parking was quite accessible med week.

A wonderful surprise! My husband and I were going to go to another nearby restaurant, but the wait time was too much. We ran across the street to Marianna's and were more than blown away by the food and service. My husband is in the meat industry and loved the steak dish (I haven't heard him rave about steak like this in a long time). The seafood and pasta were delicious as well. The dishes were good sized portions. Erik our server was very knowledgeable on the food and menu.The whole dining experience reminded us of Italy (where we met)!

I walked in at 5pm solo, and even though they were fairly busy I was seated in moments at a booth in the bar. Immediately after seating a water arrived via a waitstaff hand. At the same time my waiter arrived with a menu. Before I opened the menu he took the time discuss the featured meals of the night. He was quite aware off the ingredients and let me know the variables of all the dishes. During his explanations of the meals I fell victim to his enthusiasm about their Wild Alaskan Halibut and ordered it. He asked if I would like a beverage and he quickly returned with it as well as fresh baked bread. I was informed the bread was made in house. I quickly finished the bread and was asked if I'd like more, but I declined knowing to save room for my meal. When the meal arrived I was offered pepper, parmesan cheese or crushed red peppers. Then the good part began.... but you will have to find out for yourself. Bon appetit!

Great value for the prices, servers were entertaining and very good. Cocktails left some thing to be desired. Marianna is not in my top list of Italian but I would certainly not decline going again if someone asked/wanted to go.

Went here with a group of friends. If you eat Italian food occasionally, you will like it. If you are married to an Italian, its average quality. Staff was pleasant, clean restaurant, fast service and perfectly sized portions. The experience for our group was very nice.
