Marilyn's of Morgantown is a new restaurant in Morgantown - but it's not a new restaurant concept completely.

"Marilyn’s of Morgantown is the second location for John, Jim, & Allen. The space has been completely redesigned with a warm inviting décor, an expanded larger kitchen with fresh pasta stations, beautiful new event space, & a new patio with a built-in fire pit off of the original glass room. The Morgantown location boasts a gorgeous stone & granite bar. The warm cherry wood of the back bar perfectly accentuates the many top shelf libations that sit upon it. The bar is surrounded by high definition sound & 75” HDtvs from every seat making it the perfect location to catch the Mountaineers on game day. The Fireplace Room is cozy & inviting & always a little warmer in winter when the fire is burning. The Glass Room is a favorite for personal events or a quiet evening under the stars especially when the doors open to the new patio & the flames are lit in the stunning 10 foot fire feature. While the food at both locations is amazingly delicious the vibe at the second location was made just for Morgantown." SOURCE

Located in Northpointe Plaza, the restaurant decor seems upscale, but it still has a sports bar feel to it. There is a beautiful bar and outdoor dining, but there are also large TVs with whatever sporting event is on.

The menu is creative, with options like buffalo chicken arancini, blackened shrimp burger, strawberry basil scallops, and more. I would love to have each and every one of those items, but I went with a delicious pasta dish:

Imported pici pasta from Florence, Italy, tossed in a rich D.O.P. dolce gorgonzola porcini mushroom cream with roasted cremini mushrooms. Topped with shaved Parmesan reggiano, cracked black pepper, black truffle oil drizzle, & then finished with fresh parsley. This was rich but tangy and so satisfying. It's one of those dishes that makes me think I could be a vegetarian, no problem. Because it's so flavorful. With a side of fresh garlic bread, the meal was complete.
