Marciano's - Chatswood

This restaurant is like a small slice of Italy in the midst of a busy world. I absolutely loved it. The Pinot Grigio was lovely and the Diavolo and Calzone pizzas were delicious - cooked to perfection in the wood oven. My mom ordered the duck ragu, which was a smooth piece of art. We finished everything and would have eaten more if we had room!

This is a great place for a quick bite, or for a good meal with friends. The service is excellent, and the pastas are superb. The pizza is good, and the garlic bread is a must-try. Unusually for Chatswood, the tables are not packed very close together, so the place has a roomy, comfortable feel.

I visited this restaurant one evening with friends, but I would definitely return with my family. The standout dish was the homemade Gnocchi with a choice of Sorrentina – tomato and fior di latte mozzarella 4 Formaggi – four cheeses. The only downside is that it is a bit expensive for the location. A meal consisting of one pizza, gnocchi, and a sharing platter costs around $80.

We've been here on numerous occasions for lunch and dinner. The service is always great and the food very tasty and authentic Italian. And you can get a drink!

The pizza was very thin and a bit soggy underneath, the price was ridiculous for the amount of food delivered. The restaurant was very busy, staff were excellent. Very helpful and accommodating. Desserts were reasonably priced and the tiramisu and cannoli were to die for.
