“ Fantastic, fresh, and delicious food. Came through Washington, NC this evening and came across this gem. If you are in the area this is a great place to stop. ”

“ Found this restaurant in Yelp while working in Washington. Great, friendly service and fantastic food. Good local restaurant with plenty of tables for families with kids. I ordered an ice tea with salmon piccata. More than enough food for two so I just ate the salmon and mushrooms and a little bit of the linguine. The dining area has two separate areas separated by a glass wall. Definitely will be back when I come back here to work again. ”

“ Straight up if you're in (Little) Washington North Carolina, this is one of the places you need to make sure you eat while you're in town! Marabella's has fantastic food. We had great service in a relaxed ambience. With an excellent wine list, fantastic fresh bread, baked in-house daily , a specials menu, in addition to an extensive menu to boot, there are plenty of choices to satisfy your pallet. it is THE choice for Italian when you're in the area! ”

“ Marabella was recommended to me both at my hotel and by the locals in town so that is where I went for my Italian dinner. They have been in business for 40 years so that speaks to the quality too. they started in Brooklyn but are now in Washington. Marabella's has its own parking lot and a drive thru as well. Although I am not sure if it is just to pick up orders already placed or if you can order at the drive thru. But either way that would be a convenient way to pick up dinner. I dined here earlier than I'd normally eat dinner as I didn't want to miss the NC State game. I was seated in the enclosed outside dining room. I'm not sure if it is just a sun room or if it opens in warmer weather. Marabella has fresh ingredients and makes their own dough and sauces. I had already looked at the menu so knew what I was going to order as I needed some comfort food as I was in pain from my broken finger. But I was given time to look over the menu which I liked and almost went with the scampi. Warm bread and oil was brought out while I looked through the extensive menu. Another table near me ordered a pizza and after hearing the reaction to that pizza I knew I needed to try that too. So I ended up with the fettuccine alfredo as my comfort dish and then ordered a white pizza so more cheese and olive oil and garlic. I was extremely pleased with their sauce. It was the perfect creaminess and not too heavy. The portion was large too and I almost managed to eat it all as it was so good. The pizza was fantastic as well and some of the best I've had. I only had a slice or two hot from the oven but the leftovers were just as tasty. It was cooked perfectly and all the cheese just melted so good. When it was time to pay, and they take the credit cards at the table, I was told my meals had been taken care of by someone. I'm not sure who did this random act of kindness or pay it forward but I appreciated their kindness. I'm usually the one who does the RAOKs so it was heartwarming to be on the other end of it. I wish I lived closer to Marabella so might have to plan another trip just to eat here again. It is worth the drive. ”

“ Fantastic Pizza, service and atmosphere cannot believe this Italian restaurant is in Washington NC. Feels like it should be surrounding NYC! Would recommend anyone to try this fantastic Italian restaurant! I have not found anything on the menu that I cannot write under a 10! ”

“ The food here is always amazing. The pasta is cooked to perfection and the pizza is somehow crunchy and chewy. We love Marabella. Mondello pizza is our favorite. The chicken Alfredo is always a treat. We had a bad experience recently involving a server named Angela. We gave her the benefit of the doubt but she continued to prove to be subpar and treated us only as a bill to be tipped on as opposed to diners looking to have a relaxing dinner. She claimed us across a busy dining room when another server asked us why we haven't been served yet then rushed through our orders. No appetizer plates came. No refills came. We had to ask for the complimentary bread. We had to ask for Parmesan. You get the idea. I left 5 stars because I don't want you to think negative of the restaurant.. I just want Angela to know her actions matter. ”

“ Pepper appetizer was great value and had ground beef inside. The only size of gluten-free pizza is 12 inches, but with the enormous amount of toppings it's very filling. If you want good Italian food everything is excellent. My only nit which is outside their control is limited parking. They also have a drive through which I believe was put in during Covid. The tables are fairly close together giving you limited space to move around. ”
