Click here to read "Philadelphia Weekly" Review

"The brick oven here is in nearly constant use for the nonstop pizza orders for eat-in and carry-out orders. But this pizza specialist restaurant has expanded its horizons to include a full service menu of Italian dishes that include multi-faceted preparations of home-style food: fish, chicken, veal and beef. Pasta, too, of course. A bartender operates in the front room for people waiting for tables at busy times of the day. If you try out Marra's, you'll find a place that focuses on an Italian cuisine. Expect the average entrée to cost in the range of $8 to $12."

This “affordable”, fourth-generation pizza/pasta parlor “screams South Philly” with “awesome” “old-school” thin-crusters, “friendly” “waitresses as spicy as the awesome mussels fra diavolo” (“yez want a salad with your pie?”) and “retro”, “dark-wood” decor (featuring “‘The Last Supper’ and a stuffed deer head on the same wall”); “stick with the standards” (e.g. “veal parm the size of a hubcap”), “have a cannoli for dessert” and keep in mind “this is what Buca di Beppo is trying to parody.”

Marra's is a South Philly favorite. If you live in that endlessly fascinating part of town, it's likely the place your parents went on their first date; pizza at Marra's was probably one of the places you and your friends went to on those first out-without-the-parents excursions. It's also a local hot spot before a game at the nearby sports arenas -- an unfussy family place with everything you would expect from an aging institution. Service is South Philly friendly. On a good night, that might mean chatty and casual, on a bad night attitude-y and slow. The atmosphere is pure old-time South Philly: wood-and-red-vinyl booths, old-looking photos, etc. If you go expecting upscale Italian, you're going to be disappointed. There are traditional pasta-house favorites, such as ravioli and spaghetti doused in the house gravy, and mussels and calamari. The main draw, though, is the "incomparable thin-crust pizza" made in brick ovens. "Portions are huge and prices very reasonable".
