The owner is awesome! His wife makes everything homemade and is soooo delicious. Even the noodles and bread is from scratch. Dining atmosphere is romantic and beautiful. I will definitely be back!
After reading online reviews between this and Ciao, we went for the small whole in the wall joint. All of the reviews must have been written by family or employees because this place is the worse restaurant we have EVER been to in our lives. We have never felt compelled to write such a bad review.My wife ordered eggplant Parm and I ordered a pizza and a side of meatballs, we also ordered garlic bread because all the reviews said this place has the best garlic bread ever.Meatball(singular) came and it was a little bigger than a golf ball, cost about $3. Garlic bread came and it tasted freezer burned with a hint of butter and garlic after taste. The eggplant Parm came and it looked like mush. The eggplant Parm was not breaded and it made my wife gag, I have never ever seen her complain and actually send back a plate of food. My meatball came out in a bowl with some Marinara sauce. The meatball had no flavor and the sauce was very bland. The pizza along with the meatball was bland. It had a cracker crust that did not taste homemade. The eggplant Parm Also came with a side of spaghetti in meat sauce. My wife being vegetarian, sent that back and my wife apologized and said she should have asked. But you figure if you order a vegetarian dish, as a wait staff, you might want to let the customer know it comes with meat sauce.Anyway, they made her a mushroom and garlic plate of spaghetti. We felt so bad and we really wanted to keep some hope for this place so we ordered dessert. She got the tiramisu and I got a cannoli. The dessert was the only thing worth coming for. That was the best tiramisu we have ever had. When we got the bill, instead if taking the eggplant Parm off the bill, they discounted it and wrote next to it... "Mushroom spaghetti" knowing businesses are hurting, we didn't fight it and just paid and left.The waitress should have done a better job and letting us know that the eggplant Parm isn't a typical breaded eggplant Parm. That theirs is different.We will not go back ever! But might grab a tiramisu to go!
Loved this place. Old world charm. Excellent service, fresh well prepared food for a reasonable price. The lasagna was very good. Highly recommend you save room for the canoli. We will be back
I love Marco's! One of my favorite restaurants! Dinner was delish, as always! Went there to celebrate my birthday. I had mostaccioli with meatballs and mushrooms, yummy! One friend had the linguine diavolo, she loves that dish! Another friend, who had never been there before, and is a picky eater, lol, had the lasagna/spaghetti combo. She loved it! We had garlic bread and salads as well. Spumoni cake for dessert. It was free since it was my birthday! ? Staff was great as usual! Our server was so nice and helpful and courteous! She kept coming to check on us and refilling our drinks. Can't remember her name, but thank you! ?
Deliciously consistent. Definitely a destination restaurant!
