Marchese Italian Market & Cafe

Made a decision to try Marchese while some family was in town. Small facility with huge taste! Everything we had was fantastic, from the soup to dessert, it was all spot on. Will be coming back now that I know how great this tucked-away diamond is.

Passed by many times and finally stopped in. Although I didn't have any food (I had previously eaten lunch) the coffee and cannoli were delicious. I loved the atmosphere and they had a nice wine selection and small market to choose items from. I actually really enjoyed the Italian conversation that was going on, even though I had no idea what they were saying, it was still beautiful to listen to in addition to the Frank Sinatra playing in the back ground.

This place takes me right back to Naples, Italy. The best coffee, authentic Italian food, and service!!! I had the "sunshine" sandwich and it was probably the best breakfast sandwich I've ever had. The little almond cake treat that came with my cappuccino was also amazing. You don't get things like that at a Starbucks or other chain.

I love this place! It's so cute the owner is friendly and welcoming. The food is fresh and delicious. The coffee and espresso are absolutely amazing! I take my friends, family, co workers here and highly recommend going here. They also sell authentic Italian products and have authentic Italian deserts. The tiramasu is the best I've ever had! Marchese is truly a local treasure and you should definitely check it out!

If I could give this 10 stars I would! This place is absolutely amazing! I got the rigatoni with meatballs and tomato sauce. Delicious! I also had the pistachio ricotta cake.

So yummy! Make sure you ask for the meatballs or whatever the special is to TAKE HOME! We served this evening…even the pasta was the best I’ve bought- tiny market had excellent olive oil and sauces👍

The most authentic Italian cuisine you can get here in Virginia. The owner is from Naples and makes one mean espresso. ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS. 10/10 couldn't recommend more. Felt like home.

Did a Google map search looking for a new place to try. This place is amazing! It was the owner’s birthday today and people were coming in to wish her a happy birthday. She really has created a small community amongst other Italians because out of 15 people in there, I was the only one not speaking Italian. I felt like I was back in Italy. Amazing food, beyond amazing customer service. Very clean and friendly. Excited to go back soon.

Fresh, delicious and quick. I have both dined in and I’ve placed a pick up order - both times were fantastic experiences and worth every penny spent. In addition to these pictures, I’ve tried the Naples & Bologna panini - both phenomenal. Everything is wonderful; food, service, atmosphere, drinks, etc. I wish I could give more than 5 stars!

What a fantastic place. Great food, drink and atmosphere. Never been disappointed and it is always a treat to visit. The coffee and cappuccino is second to none. Definitely worth the visit, I drive all the way from southern Chesapeake. I've also gotten items to go for gatherings at home which my guest throughly enjoyed.
