RIP OFF!!
I called in an order of spaghetti and meatballs which was listed as $19 on the restaurant's website (picture attached). When I arrived, I was told the price was $24. I told the woman at the register that it was $19 on the website and instead of honoring the published price she said "well I guess he changed the price." I was a long time customer, but now I'm an ex-customer.

Just tasteless and poor quality. Overpriced. Diner quality. Slow service without any reason to be happy about any part of my experience

The waiter did all the things together, cutting bread after touching the money without washing hands, talking without wearing mask. Neither did the other staffs there wear mask.
We ordered 3 dishes. The Veal Marvin Breaded tasted worst, not veal taste (not like meat) at all but the flour everywhere. Fish of the Day was the most expensive but the fish was no taste and the shrimp was the star in this dish. The only good thing was the appetizer which was Zuppa Di Clams – Red, no sand inside.
Overall, I will not recommend this restaurant at all.

Pretty pitiful ham, salami and prov sub. No ham whatsoever, the thinnest layer of salami and a good portion of cheese. Overall a fail. Bread is good and toppings are good but with no substance...well, it's a ripoff! I know everyone is reeling from Covid but make the sandwich since I worked hard too during and after Covid and was really looking forward to a nice sandwich. That's the reason there are 2 stars and not just one. I will try again to see if you can redeem yourselves but customers should be on the lookout since this is not a crowd pleasing sandwich.

What an amazing meal! I ordered pasta with vodka sauce as my entree and it was great! The meatball appetizer was also very good. For dessert I ordered chocolate mousse cake, which was fantastic. I will definitely be back in the near future.

Marra’s is a very good restaurant. The staff is polite and the food is great. I usually order a sandwich from here but I have had their salads and entrees on different occasions. They also have these absolutely great Italian cookies. I try to hold back from buying them but they’re so good I can’t help it. Overall, it’s a great place.

Really cool atmosphere. Modern Italian restaurant that had country music playing. The food was delicious. I had the drunken chicken parm and it's enough to feed a horse. Was busy so definitely make reservations. BYOB as well

My job just moved to Roseland- decided to pop in- ordered the Tom- it was very good- fresh, good size sandwich- little costly but at least the quality was good! Place is really clean and had a great atmosphere with Sinatra playing over the speakers- will definitely try some of the fresh Raviolis and other Italian goods- it's worth checking out!

I'd pay for an overpriced sandwich if they actually prepared it the way I ordered it. Twice now fail on cold sandwich orders. Three times now I've tried to come get breakfast and they are not open as stated. Don't get how these over priced over hyped local joints survive. I won't be back.

Used to frequent this place for lunch at the old location when I worked in Roseland. Never was disappointed. Visited them a few times at there current location..Foods just as good. Also new place is nicer and has room to sits and eat..By far my favorite is the Buffalo chicken wrap which used to be a special but now a regular menu item

After enjoying my first meal at Marra's I have to drop them down in stars because it is way too challenging to give them additional business. They close at 7:00 PM mon - fri., 6 PM on Sat. and are closed Sunday. Virtually impossible to order during week after communting and 6PM Saturday.......come on guys, this is the food business You close right in the middle of dinner? Only a senior citizen can get food from you.You close early every day and do not even offer deliveries?

We have been ordering Marras for awhile now at work since it's just across the street. This is real deal fantastic Italian food and quick! I love their grilled chicken Cesar salad. It's one of the best I've had. Their soups are also perfect on a cold day

One of my favorite places to eat in town. Never a bad meal. Salads and sandwiches are the best! Eggplant, chicken cutlet sandwich, both are delicious! The Marra's salad so good! I'm always here!

I've been loving this Italian deli for years! My favorite is the #10. Breaded chicken cutlet with mozzarella, roasted peppers and balsamic vinegar on a long Italian roll. Love their chicken Sorrento too. I can't forget their incredible knot cookies. (Sorry Nana) They are as good as my late grandmother's. :)

Good food. Nice new location. Tight parking. Lunch take out service was very fast but as about as organized as the sinking of the Titanic. No one knew where to order, where the line was, cashier didn't know which order went with whom. Hope they get their act together.
