Mariani's Inn & Restaurant - Santa Ana

I always love to eat at mariani because it is always so good, so fresh and so lovingly prepared. it is a very quiet place, with not too much business in the main dining room. it is also a very noble place, and maybe a bit old-fashioned. but we're going to eat there, not because it's chic! we had this time pasta and antipasto as well as minenstrone. everything delicious and served at the right temperature. the service was great as always. the dining room is immaculate and comfortable. I don't understand why it's not more popular, as I think it must have been a few decades ago. mariani’s inn restaurant still has the ware.

The restaurant was mediocre at best. The calamari and tempura green beans were bland, the lamb was too salty, and was swimming in oil. The food was not worth the cost, but the service was okay.

Exceptional value and a wonderful culinary experience.

I always enjoy dining at Mariani because the food is consistently fantastic, fresh, and meticulously prepared. The restaurant has a serene atmosphere, with the main dining room never being too crowded. It has a classic and elegant charm, which may be considered a bit old-fashioned by some, but for us, it's all about the delicious food, not the trends. During our most recent visit, we indulged in pasta, antipasto, and minestrone, all of which were mouthwatering and served at the perfect temperature. The service was outstanding, as usual, and the dining room was spotless and cozy. I'm puzzled as to why Mariani's isn't more popular nowadays, as it seems to have all the makings of a beloved restaurant from decades past. Mariani's Inn Restaurant continues to impress with their exceptional offerings.

Mediocre best... Calamari and Tempura beans were beans, the lambry was salty and served in a puddle oil. Didn't cost the food, the service was okay.
