Nice little italian place. Its quite warm inside (I went on a cold day so this was okay with me). We started off with garlic knots. They were dry, which was a surprise as usually they are really greasy and oily and covered in garlic. I like them a little dryer so it was a nice change. They brought a small bowl of marinara out, and while it was a good consistency, there wasnt loads of flavor in it. Their sauce was just a bit muted, like they didnt put enough spices in it or something. Hard to describe, but I give them a 3 out of 5 on their sauce. I got baked ziti, which was good but had the same sauce on it and wasnt popping with flavor. My wife got vegetable primavera with alfredo and said it was fine. The service was fast and friendly. I would like to try their pizza as it looked and smelled amazing, but I think Ill wait to do their pizza until I can have a nice cold beer with it.

Went hoping for one of those great food finds. We ordered some fried calamari which was a little over cooked but turned out ok. I ordered the Veal Saltimbocca, my wife ordered the Chicken Campagnola. Both were supposed to be sautéed dishes. The meat in both dishes was bland and looked as if it was poached or boiled. The sauces were terribly thin and bland. I suspect they were watered down to save food costs. The vegetables tasted spoiled and gross. We both tasted the dishes twice and couldn’t continue. They took the entrees off our bill, and we paid the rest of the check. They may be good at pizza shop food, but if you want Italian food other than pizza, look elsewhere.

I read the reviews and got a little scared. I had planned a meeting there, and I read the reviews 10 mins before everybody arrived so I couldnt change the plans. Good I didnt - this place is great! I have never seen chicken look that good before and im at up-scale places all the time, and this little place really beats them all. Well, at least with their chicken. But everybody liked their orders, and people thank me for taking them there. So enjoy, go - and its not expensive at all. You can take your fimily and enjoy real food for only a little more than McD - Enjoy, Christian R

Went with my wife and friend from out of town on a Saturday night...busy place with a lot of hustle and bustle (fairly noisy, as well, not that it mattered). I ordered some sort of Italian Trio and just did not much enjoy it. The garlic knots were slightly burnt, but tasted okay. The server was friendly, but the service was somewhat slow (probably because it was so busy...) Overall, this goes down in my book as an average Italian restaurant. I will probably try their pizza some day, but I wont be sampling their other dishes.

We used to live in the area and would frequent Marco Anthony quite often. Their sauce was amazing. Its been 7 years since we relocated back to PA but were visiting FL next month and cant wait to eat here again. -- 2014/2015 Update: The food isnt as good as it used to be. The sauce used to be amazing and youd see cans of imported tomatoes lining the walls. Now its like generic Sysco food service items you can get at any cheap pizza shop. Very disappointed - I guess it was sold to another owner.

YUCK! YUCK! YUCK!IF I COULD GIVE THIS *0* STARS I WOULD! Just spent $30 on salad, chicken, and tiramisu...it was horrible! Just horrible. The chicken on the salad tasted like it had been cooked with fish,the croutons were stale, the tiramisu had no taste like it was 3 days old it was so bitter. The chicken tenders have to be bought in the walmart freezer section and warmed in the microwave, they are so tough you can barely bite them.

Tonight was my first time trying this place, I have to say I now have a local pizza spot! The Brooklyn calzone was incredible! The dough was so soft and topped with a garlic sauce. The cheese was melted and super yummy. The veggies and meat was in perfect proportion. Customer service was amazing! I will definitely recommend this location.

What a shame - for delivery ordered 2 pizzas that are good, but also an $11.50 order of spaghetti and meatballs. When we opened and saw only 2 small meatballs, called to see if there was a mistake and answer was a curt "No" , thats it Ripoff - may go in for pizza again , but entrees are a ripoff

Absolutely stunning. Not what we were expecting from a store front shopping center restaurant! The service was prompt, friendly, thorough. My penne primavera was literally THE BEST I have ever tasted.

I found hair on my pizza. They are so inconsistent. The manager is unprofessional and barely speaks English enough to understand. Dont waste your time or money.
