For the life of me, I can't figure out why Google has never shown me this place before. I frequent Somers Point and search for food every time. I had "The Fred" sandwich for my main and the Empanada as a starter. My wife had the Meatball Salad. Speaking for myself, this sandwich is amazing. Full of flavor. It was the best broccoli rabe I've ever had. The meatballs are delicious. The roll, hot pepper relish, cheese, and broccoli rabe were all perfect together.The empanada was stuffed with Italian meats. It was light and crispy. It had plenty of meat but still felt delicate. I am planning my next meal there already. Service was fantastic. This is how food should be served.

This is a great spot for some good Italian food. Great vegetarian options!Food 8.7/10: We ordered two vegetarian options, the Mushroom Pappardelle and Tortellino. Both were a solid choice for us and gave us different flavors to enjoy. The quantities of both plates were adequate. Two wntrees can easily fill three people. We had enough leftovers for the next day's lunch. Pasta was fresh and prepared el dente. I would have preferred a bit more softer, but first meal here I wanted to enjoy as the chef preferred. They provided us bread, but I wish it was warmed. Must enjoy with the pasta sauce!!!Service 4/10: Our server was very unattentive and looked overwhelmed. She did not know which options on the menu were vegetarian and how the plates were prepared. We would ask for something and wait quite a while (15 or so minutes) before we would ask again. Happened to us three times, so it wasn't a pleasant service experience.Atmosphere 7/10: Small dining area and open kitchen experience. You can hear and partially see everything going on in the kitchen. I liked that!! Fun group of people cooking in the kitchen, it sounded like. The place was well kept. Given how small the dining area is, it may get noisy as it is a family restaurant. It's not a romantic place for sure. Parking is very limited and very congested, so careful entering and leaving.Overall, this was a decent experience. Definitely worth trying their food!! Will re-visit one day for sure!

When we drove up, we were a bit skeptical. But wow, the food was so good!! We got chicken cutlet and eggplant sandwiches and they were out of this world! Even the fries were great. Don't expect anything fancy, but everyone was friendly and the food is top notch.

The most unassuming quaint place with the best food around. Seriously, you can keep all your fancy Casino restaurants and fake ass Italian kitchens. If you're a real food connoisseur and appreciate someone putting love in what they do then this is the place for you. High quality fresh Ingredients with everything cooked perfectly. The service was great too, our server was super attentive and very professional. Im gonna make this a habit. Keep up the great work!!!!

Simmers Point. Close to the hospital. Easy to find. Great homemade, freshly prepared, Italian food. Saturday nite and no wait! BYOB. Wonderful service. Delicious meatballs and sauce. My favorite. Plenty of leftovers. Served hot and quick. Will go back again when in Ocean City.

9/16/23 Foodies alert: Do you desire Italian food like Nonna used to cook at Sunday meals? How bout a touch of Japanese cuisine if you wish? Maybe you feel like eating a salad only. Whatever your palette dictates, can probably be served at Marsini's Kitchen. Tonight I started with a fresh arugula salad with goat cheese, caramelized onions and freshly cooked beets. I hope I didn't disturb other diners with my audible sounds of mmmm! My entree sounded intriguing, I believe it was a special, and special doesn't adequately describe it. Sushi grade tuna, pineapple, wasabi drizzled, shaved fennel on coconut rice with a hint of saffron syrup could rival any fine dining restaurant's most celebrated dish. This was a great meal from a talented group of people creating and preparing the foods. Moy Deliciouso!
What a great little spot this is. Staff is extremely friendly and the food is amazing. You can tell they take pride in their craft and use only the freshest, best ingredients.

I had spaghetti and meatballs. The sauce was delicious. Unfortunately, the meatballs had a strange taste. I think too much bread in the meat mixture.My wife had the Seafood Bucatini, which was very good.

Don't let the modest decor fool you. The food is excellent and prepared virtually in front of your eyes. The owner is the chef and his wait staff is delightful.
