Reviews for Bistro di Marino in Marlton, NJ
They were understaffed so entree took over 1.5 hours to come out. I ordered the gnocchi pomodoro and it was terrible. The... sauce tasted like it was out of a jar and the gnocchi was very doughy and had no flavor. Very unsatisfied with the food. Theservers tried their best, but were understaffed. Read more
Food was amazing! Cozy atmosphere and service was great! Definitely coming back!
Delicious food, service was great, very clean and modern atmosphere. Should have paid more attention ahead of time that it's... BYOB but that's on me. Salmon was to die for, and the chocolate mousse cake was rich and light and perfect to share at the endof the meal. Will absolutely be dining here again and again! Read more
The service was really good. Jake did an excellent job at ensuring we had everything we needed. The tables are pretty tight and... the sound carries from other conversations, not a place for the hard of hearing. The marinara sauce is the signature delight,well made. We enjoyed ourselves for quite some time and were offered a special treat- chocolate drink shooter. It was a nicetouch to a good evening. Read more
Very excited to come here, despite mixed reviews. Unfortunately we were disappointed. The rolls and pesto oil which were... brought out first were the best part of the meal. Really good. For appetizers we had the meatballs which came as a set of 4,and labeled as veal, pork and beef, were dry and very tough, traditional mixture means fork tender. We also got the gnocchitrio which we picked with three different sauces. The gnocchi themselves were very good. The pomodoro sauce was ok, but verysmokey, which we could not figure out, but surmised that it was infused with a smoked mozzarella rind. Very odd. The secondsauce was a pesto cream with roasted peppers, pretty good. Third sauce was a sausage red sauce. Best of the three. Fordinner, my partner got the lobster and asparagus risotto. He was very excited. Bummer that it did not live up to hisexpectations. The risotto was undercooked, the lobster was overcooked, asparagus was spot on, but heavy handed with lobsterbase made it almost inedible. My dish, great noodles with sausage in a blush sauce masquerading as bolognese was very ok. Super overly heavy, accompanied by a bay leaf, very untraditional and odd. Staff very sweet, atmosphere very cool, kitchenstaff either lazy or not competent. I love supporting local businesses, but just not up to my expectations. Read more
All the flavors in all the dishes we had were amazing, especially the baked gnocchi, I highly recommend them. While the flavors... were great we ended up getting multiple cuts of veal that were too tough to cut or eat. Hopefully this was a one off thing butconsidering it happened with multiple dishes at our table I don't know what to think about it. That being said, the flavors wereperfect, it was just ruined by the inedible veal in the dish. Read more
Let me start by saying MAKE A RESERVATION! I used open table luckily, because the place gets packed. I saw them turn alot of... people away because they were booked this Wednesday night! And I quickly found out why. Similar to their other locations, thefood and service was stellar. The penne vodka was superb as was the lobster fettuccine. The spring salad was very refreshing andthe sweet berries in it were great. BYOB! Read more
Dinner was ok, girlfriend had her steak over cooked and sent it back. And we had her daughter and fiance and there 2 year old... grandson there singing Happy birthday to my girlfriend and when wait staff offered to cut up cake they didn't hear the 2 yr oldscreaming his head off cause the took the cake in the back to cut and plate it and it took way to long and obviously they didnot care about the screaming baby and the other tables that were trying to eat there dinner when we said we're cut the cake atthe table to quiet the baby. Other than that it was ok I guess? Read more
