MARINO’S TRATTORIA Triangle Plaza 720 Somerset Street Watchung By: Sherry Kevoe Owner, Lenny Fantetti Marino’s is an authentic fam- ily style pizzeria and restaurant, which has been serving tradi- tional family recipes in the area for over 35 years. Owner, Lenny Fantetti, learned the business and how to make great Italian dishes by the side of his mom beginning at age eleven. In this location for the past 10 years, after a renovation from a prior business, Marino’s is proud to bring his always fresh ingredi- ents along with a great Italian experience to your family. Mari- no’s serves a full compliment of dishes from salads, soups, main entrees, desserts and of course great pizza. In 2012 Marino’s was bestowed with the Readers Choice Award for the Best Pizze- ria in Somerset County. Lenny does not take this award lightly as he strives to listen to his cus- tomers in order to continue his great service and wonderful comfort food 7 days a week. Marino’s offers gluten free products and pays special atten- tion to dietary needs. Marino’s excellent reputation is due to customer loyalty and Lenny’s connection to the community. He recognizes the importance of his personal relationships with local schools, police depart- ments and businesses both large and small. Marino’s is proud to be a name that the neighbor- hood knows as the “local pizza delivery” service. According to Lenny, the rea- sons for his success are the con- sistency of the food, he is open to new ideas and is willing to make changes. Above all, his staff always treats customers with respect and kindness. His motto is, “what we get, we wish to give back” to our com- munity families and organiza- tions who support us day in and day out. Marino’s has spon- sored baseball teams, wrestling, and basketball and supports the fire department and all munici- pal agencies. MARINO’S EXPANDS… In approximately 3 weeks Lenny will be opening an upscale restaurant in the same shopping plaza being called “ Marino’s Trattoria,” 475 Watchung Ave., Watchung.
