What People Are Saying About Marra's Restaurant
The Editor

In Short – Marra's atmosphere is tough to beat: Above red-vinyl booths hang paintings, photos and wooden cutout letters that spell the establishment's name. With a carafe of house wine on the table, many customers have been known to stay a while as they eat meals of cuisine that is decidedly not nouveau Italian: enormous servings of homemade pasta, mussels, calamari and thin-crust pizza.

He said she said
by ItalianGirlReggioCalabria
some people say that the service is horrible...I say that is he said she said. Why? Because some never explain their answer... The service isn't "horrible" because you may have to wait longer than some resturaunts...the only reason why the wait is longer is because people enjoy the resturaunt in general. Obviously if it is a well-liked resturaunt, It's not going to be dead. Yes, people may wait but take into consideration that the place is crowded, they don't have TONS of staff, they make fresh food that is very good and have reasonable prices...actually exceptionally reasonable prices and it's good Italian food and traditional,so why WOULD'NT people go there? That's why you may have to wait....but it is totally worth it.
- Pros: food,atmesphire,treditional
- Cons: time depending on occupaincy

Italian food
by Ilovephily
This is not authentic Italian cuisine. I am an Italian girl and if they can;t do a simple red sauce right then I dont come back . It is all about the red sauce.

Cozy, perfect for early Sunday meals
by AlexaGee
My family and I drove down to Marra's before the Phillies game last night and were treated to exceptional service by Rosa, our waitress. She made us feel like we were back at my grandmother's house -- and the food matched her service! Family-oriented, familar, not stuffy and cozy! I can't wait to come back!
