Hosteria Romana
We understand why you’d be wary of a place like Hosteria Romana. There’s probably a bachelorette party on the patio and a barker trying to lure in Española Way tourists.

Marietta's downtown is experiencing an Italian Rennaisance. After years of having just one stalwart Italian restaurant, two newcomers have opened offering more choices for good Italian dishes.

A visit to Piegari brings instant gratification with a carpaccio di pesce, paper-thin salmon, frisée and fresh orange segments, and a burrata with prosciutto di Parma and arugula. We a...
