Osteria Marzano - Franconia

Amazing! This restaurant may be a bit hard to find, but it's definitely worth the search. The decor is modern and there is plenty of free parking available. The menu is extensive and the food is beautifully prepared. It can be tough to find authentic Italian cuisine in the DC area, but this place is a hidden gem. Even our Italian friend was impressed. The service was attentive without being too intrusive. I especially enjoyed being seated in a private room for a more intimate dining experience. Overall, it was a fantastic meal and I will definitely be returning in the future.

We had another fantastic dining experience at OM. The chef always impresses us with delicious Italian dishes. It's our favorite spot for authentic Italian cuisine. My wife ordered the eggplant Parmesan and I had the seafood Supra, both were excellent. For starters, we shared the Arancini balls and a farro, bean, and baby kale salad. The wine selection was great, and it made for a lovely evening. I highly recommend this restaurant.

We have found Osteria Marzano to be our favorite spot for Italian cuisine. We tried the cheese wheel pasta with salmon and it was delicious. They have a great variety of reasonably priced wines to choose from. Our server was excellent and we were thrilled to hear about her recent engagement.

A phenomenal local place with fresh food and pasta. Great drink menu and happy hours. Tucked out of the way, but worth the stop!

We’ve patronized Osteria for years but it was the first time we sat in the larger room beyond the bar area. We loved it. Osteria is one our favorite places to eat locally. We are very grateful to have a restaurant that hits all the high marks nearby.
