6 Best Italian Restaurants near Auburn

“We were here for our anniversary. Incredible meal and outstanding service. 5 stars“

“Great Italian food! Will visit again!“

“We always like sitting on the bar side. I love their calzones ( can add 3 ingredients you like), my husband got the Hoagie Sandwich with house chips. We've had the Taco Pizza, which is very good. While waiting for our meal they bring out a fresh loaf of homemade bread to slice and dip in the oil w/seasonings. VERY good. Awesome waitress, too.“

“Everything has very good flavor. Subs, calzone's and the pizza. Chicken Bacon ranch is probably favorite yet preference for ham onion green olive. cheese, dough and SAUCE...all great.“

“First visit was June 13th 2024 during the Leo-Cedarville Farmers Market, and I ordered a single Marco's Sausage Pepperoni Pizzoli with peppers & onions (hadn't eaten all day). My order was done in 10 minutes, and was fresh and hot from the oven. The container had a packet of parmesan, and a cup of pizza sauce, as well as the Pizzoli. The outer crust was crisp and golden brown, and the inside was tender and perfectly baked. The filling was generous and gooey delicious from meats to veggies. All of the Pizzoli was sprinkled generously with parmesan and it was oh so good! The server also added plenty of napkins, which were needed because my meal was juicy and I'm a bit messy when very hungry.

My server was friendly and my experience was very positive all around. Great meal at 3 PM on a Thursday afternoon!

My second visit was the day after (Friday at 8:45 PM) and Marco's was much busier. I called in the same order doubled. The person who answered was kind and took my info, but noted they were no longer delivering for the evening. I was told my order would be ready in 20 minutes.

Since I had paid over the phone, I arrived at the appointed time (I only live 5 minutes away) and pulled out my walker and entered the building, struggling to open the entrance-way doors. The young woman had my Pizzoli boxes in hand, and I asked for them to be bagged. I struggled to get the door opened again, but managed to get back to my car.

Once home, I found the containers had no packets of parmesan, nor any cups of pizza sauce or any napkins. And while the Pizzoli were both well baked, the fulling was less generous, and did not fill the end of one side - each had one end that was all bread (about 1/4 of each Pizzoli was just bread).

Both myself and my fellow diner commented on this and chalked the discrepancies up to who made the Pizzoli.
And who served the meal at the counter.

While still a tasty meal, I've taken a star away for the second visit's issues.

For the most part, I would recommend this menu selection from Marco's, but will check my containers and bag to ensure all accompanied items are provided. And I may be inclined to order earlier in the evenings when the business is less busy.“
