It was good a couple of years ago but just horrible now. The girls that "work" in there are lazy and rude. The food is sloppy with no taste. Ridiculous prices

We have been long time customers and recently placed a catering order and were BEYOND disappointed with both the service and the quality of the food.We called to place the order two days in advance, then called again the day before to confirm the order and pick up time. When we got there to pick up the order, two large items from the order ( the two sandwich trays) weren’t made. They had us wait 40 minutes, and quickly put it together. The person handling the order was in a complete panic, and even burst into tears, asking customers to leave the restaurant. Additionally, one of the items ( chicken savoy) wasn’t packaged correctly, and spilled while being transferred to the car. They took it back, and instead of remaking, just added vinegar to the sauce, because it was uneatable.The rest of the order wasn’t any better. The penne vodka was dry, ( actually had hard noodles). We had to throw the tray of chicken out and no one touched the penne vodka. It was embarrassing and we ended up having to order pizza to supplement last minute.We spend a total of over $500 on the order. When I called to speak to the manager and let them know about the experience, she was EXTREMELY rude and told me that she cooked it and that it was very hard to believe. Needless to say, $500 later, they didn’t even attempt to apologize.TERRIBLE customer service and just awful food. Very disappointed.

The food here is amazing and the staff is great. It’s cozy and always clean. From the most basic dish to the most complex the food is always on point!

Tasty quaint spot. My parents caught this spot on Diner's Drive ins and Dives so we decided to take a trip to try. I hadn't watched it so it was nice to go in without bias. Nice Italian fare! Typically Italian is the last on my go to. We ordered the Mac n' Cheese, Marie's Sampler Platter, Italian Pulled Pork Sandwich, and a Caesar salad to share. The girl who took care of us Alisa was great at managing the front which had people constantly, waiting on our table of two and two other tables. Mac' n Cheese was heavy on cheese , very heavy, pretty tasty! Caesar salad was an average one, good bite to get greens in. Italian Pork Sandwich was tasty, didn't all come together as harmoniously as I hoped but tender and flavorful! My favorite was the sampler platter. Sausage was good, the sauce or "gravy" rather was actually really good!! The meatball was my favorite part along with the fresh mozzarella and tasty pesto! Enjoyable Sunday dinner!

So disappointing as this place used to have great service. Just waited 25 minutes after walking in an placing the order to find out "she" didn't have our order. And she had an attitude and didn't seem to care that I asked for my money back. Marie get better help. Not the first time either 2 past visits asked for fresh Basil on a sub and got arugula. Make sure the people answering the phone also have a clue. The tocos next door were fantastic!

Some of the best Italian food I’ve ever had and the portions are ginormous!

Delicious. Must try the tonys pesto and rice balls. Or anything with the vodka sauce.

We saw this place on Diners, Drive Ins & Dives and it looked amazing. We weren’t really impressed at all. We’ve had worse dinners but this wasn’t good. Had the Marie’s famous rice balls and the chicken parm. Everything was bland tasting. The chicken wasn’t tender. The sauce tasted almost burnt. The bread seemed stale. We won’t be going back.

Big fan of DDD and have been to many of Guy's featured restaurants, mostly in the SF Bay Area. We had been wanting to try this place for a while and were so excited to finally be able to give it a shot. Unfortunately it was a miss. The chicken Parm, while a large portion, was soggy and not enough cheese. Also, the broccoli rabe (in my opinion) has no business being in this dish, as it makes for a sour flavor profile. The drunken spaghetti also disappointed. The dish was quite sour (likely due to the sour sun dried tomatoes and broccoli rabe. Also, the scallops were WAY over cooked. Very chewy...Nice staff and cute place. Maybe their sandwiches and/or other dishes are better? Maybe we shouldn't have ordered take out?

We ordered chicken franchise yesterday and it was not good. You all need to pound the chicken and not jam it all into an undersized container. Also, the egg batter made it all look as.if you were making an omelet, what the heck man! Get it together over there!

Love this place. Their drunk chicken parm and rice balls are my favorite. In a sandwich or over pasta, cant go wrong. They have a great selection as well and fresh bread always. Great food.

I ordered 3 entree’s today first time based from n Driver Diners and Dives show aired in 2013.We are very disappointed on the Brick roasted chicken which was very dry and over roasted, broccoli robes also rough and all the yellow leaves didn’t remove, just cooked all together and so chewy.They gave us 4 small end of bread loaf which was very dry and cheap.All the dishes are nothing special and no desired to go back!Very disappointed.Not sure if they change Chef? Or Triple D should not introduce them at first place!! Not special or tasty as all!

First time getting a sandwich from Marie's. Holy smokes, the amount of toppings was incredible. The ingredients and bread were all as fresh as can be, my order was prepped and ready to go as soon as I arrived. Fantastic sandwich, reasonable pricing and friendly staff. I'll be a frequent flier at Marie's from now on!

Thank goodness this place isnt near my home or Id be humongous. Its a BYOB which is always nice, this was my second visit there and wont be my last. I had the drunken chicken parm platter and asked for a dollop of fresh ricotta as well. (My bestie got the ricotta on top of her shredded pork and penne and I was jealous) each entree is enough to feed two people.
