Food was absolutely amazing & wine pairings were perfect. Best martini I’ve had in years. Staff was very attentive. Only complaint I would have is that I could have eaten more because everything was so tasty!

Beautiful place. Delicious dishes. We had the 40 oz rib steak for two at Med-rare. Came out gorgeous and perfectly cooked. Super tender and flavorful. Excellent fire roasted potatoes and sauce that came with it. The reduction sauce is balanced for being sweet and savory. Must have with the steak. Peaceful setting with views of the mountains. Bonus when there is snow. Service was excellent, attentive and patient. Wine choices worked well with every dish. We also had beets for apps and they were warm and perfect. They were served over a lovely truffled burrata sauce. I will definitely come back for more of Chef Jason’s creations!

About the restaurant

The chefs at Marzano's attain the freshest ingredients to prepare authentic Italian cuisine. Owner Elisa Marzano grew up in Vicenza, Italy, and consistently refers to these roots to design Marzano's unique yet classic menu. Once a quaint two-bedroom home, the restaurant was transformed but still keeps the rustic, home-like feel for an inviting, welcoming atmosphere. The pleasing combination of intimate lighting and natural window light make it the ideal spot for either lunch or dinner. A top menu choice is the boscaiola, which features a creamy tomato and Bolognese sauce over rigatoni pasta, topped with various spices and forest mushrooms. Guests can enjoy complimentary bread and salad with every entree, so eating at Marzano's can ensure a satisfied appetite. Marzano's also aims to please those with various dietary needs, such as diners who desire gluten-free options.

Roosevelt

About the restaurant

We are a 21+ restaurant and bar. Founded in 2018 by Joel and Matthew and purchased in late 2022 by Becky and Jon, the vision remains the same: Old English pub vibes, high quality food.

We loved The Shambles from the minute we walked in and now we continue the heritage of what was created before us. On the food side: high quality steaks, cut in house. Cooks who have the freedom to create seasonal dishes ranging from foraged mushrooms to house made sausages. To go with your meal, we offer skillfully made, non-fussy cocktails, carefully selected wines, a plethora of beers, sours, and ciders on tap and a a robust non alcoholic selection. We top it all off with warm and knowledgeable service. At the Shambles, you can join us for a lovely date night, get together with friends OR choose to sit at the bar and get an ear full of cheesy jokes and unfiltered chatter We are serious about our service from top to bottom and we can’t wait to serve you!
