" My first experience at Marino's was fantastic! I stumbled upon this lovely pizzeria while exploring Schenectady, and I completely fell in love with the rustic ambiance as it reminded me of the Italian restaurants I used to visit as a child. I ordered the spaghetti marinara, which was packed with flavor. I heard whispers from locals that their pizza is the best, and next time I visit, I'll be sure to try it! I can't recommend this gem enough! " (*Curated Review*)

" Marino's Pizza has consistently kept me coming back with their delicious and generous servings. The chicken parmesan is one of my favorites, bursting with flavor and always hot out of the kitchen. The restaurant gets busy, especially during peak hours, but the staff keeps things organized. I appreciate the homely vibe, making it a great spot for friends and family gatherings. I can't recommend it highly enough; it's a delightful eatery! " (*Curated Review*)

" Every time I go to Marino's, I am amazed at how consistent their food is. You can always count on getting a hearty meal that feels homemade. The lasagna is a must-try, loaded with cheese and coming straight from the oven. Don't forget to order their special garlic bread; it just complements everything perfectly. However, be prepared to pay with cash only, which once caught me off guard! Overall, a solid place for family dinners or casual outings. I'm definitely keeping it on my list! " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Marino's last weekend with some friends, eager to try their much-talked-about pizza. I was not disappointed! The first bite was a heavenly mix of flavors, and the crust had that perfect crunch while still being fluffy inside. The staff was fantastic; they seemed to genuinely care about each guest’s experience. We didn't feel rushed at all, which was a plus. We did face a bit of a wait, but it was on a Saturday night, so that was expected. Overall, it was a delightful evening filled with great food and excellent company! " (*Curated Review*)

" Marino's has a reputation for being one of the best pizza places in town, and now I see why! I recently visited and the pizza lived up to the hype. Very flavorful sauce, fresh ingredients, and a perfectly baked crust kept me coming back for more. The server was also on the ball and had a great personality. The only drawback was how busy it was, which can lead to some wait time. Still, I can't fault the team for being popular. I recommend getting here early! " (*Curated Review*)

" I was in town for a business trip and decided to check out Marino's based on the rave reviews. I must say, it did not disappoint! The lasagna was phenomenal—rich and cheesy with layers that melted in my mouth. The atmosphere had a nostalgic feel, which added to the charm of the evening. However, I did find the wait a bit longer than expected, but the quality of the food definitely made up for it. The staff were friendly and accommodating, which made me feel welcomed. I appreciated their cash-only policy as I’d prefer a straightforward transaction over card fees any day. Overall, a fantastic find that I will recommend to anyone visiting the area! " (*Curated Review*)

" What an experience! I dropped by Marino's yesterday after hearing all the hype, and they did not let me down! I tried their pizza with a variety of toppings, and it was rich in flavor. The service was casual yet warm; they made me feel like part of the family. I sat and watched the chef toss the pizza dough, and it felt genuinely authentic. Definitely coming back when I'm in the area! " (*Curated Review*)
