Got the scallopini with scallops. Their white sauce was basic, indistinguishable from a storebought Alfredo. There was no richness from mushroom or citrus in the sauce, and the mushrooms in the dish were barely cooked. Indicating they aren't cooked properly in the sauce to get the right flavor but added in the saute. The scallops were whole, not sliced and not cooked properly for a scallopini, they were somehow barely seared while also being overcooked. For spending close to 50 with a tip for one dish, Marcos can do better with their prep, and quality of ingredients.

Starting with the good: it’s good and the portions are generous. Our food arrived in reasonable time. Now for the rest: the staff are either lazy or inexperienced and I hope it’s the latter. When my party of five arrived for our reservation, there was no hostess at the front, one emerged from a side banquet room instead indicating an unpreparedness for people to arrive (I understand that Monday’s are likely a slow day, but that is a thin excuse). We were sat in a poorly lit interior room and the menus were left in a pile on the table that we had to distribute for ourselves. Plates for bread and cutlery were delivered similarly. For the presentation of this restaurant, with tablecloths and attempted atmosphere, this service seemed lacking. The room was poorly lit (or the menus poorly printed) such that my grandparents had to pull out a flashlight to properly read the menu. The wall behind where I sat had chipped paint from chairs hitting it in past. When I went to the restroom, there were no paper towels in the dispenser and the hosts, upon finding them again in that same side banquet room, seemed unresponsive when i informed them (an air of “why are you telling *me*?”). Notably, the only area in the restaurant with music was the bar and bathroom by proxy. In the area my family was sat, all we could hear was the one other party conversing and the occasional wafting of whatever music the kitchen staff enjoy which clashed with the faux-Venetian aesthetics. The quantity of the food justified the price tag but the service has me hesitant to ever return.

Pretty good food. I would prefer spaghetti over linguine which is why they only get 4 stars

Only bad part was they do not take prepaid gift cards. And they make you feel ashamed for trying to use one. I'm talking about the prepaid visa type cards, not Marcos specific gift cards.

Tonight, we had an amazing meal at Marco's. The food was top tier and very reasonable. We often eat at a competing Italian restaurant, but we will surely be back frequently to Marco's. Very few restaurants these days leave a lasting good impression on me. Marco's will be at the top of my list for sure. On another note Charles is by far one of the nicest and most professional waiters I've ever had the pleasure of meeting. Please make it a point to stop in and enjoy the food and company. Cheers!

I ordered from door dash with low hope , but everything was amazing! The food is delicious and big portions , meal came with bread and side salad, I’ve never had Alfredo that I didn’t need to add salt to before ! Definitely worth the money!
The food is always good. The issue is who ever is out front that does the to go order for delivery just does not care and nothing is checked. One whole meal missing on our order tonight and it is not the first time but the first time saying something about it. The sad part is the receipt has all the other orders checked off but the one missing. Really seams like lately the owners or managers just don’t care as long as the money is coming in. We order 3-4 times month and it’s always something missing either it’s a simple salad or bread or a meal very frustrating.

Celebrating the 16th anniversary of our first date. Was at Marco's. We shut the place down just talking 16 years ago. Made reservations as wanted a nice table and did mention why. Was told absolutely. Imagine my disappointment when I arrived and had the reservation but nothing of my request. Tried seating up in the lounge butcher table was very dirty and we refused. Was finally seated at a nice table in the dining room. Server was fantastic, the food was amazing, and the night ended great. Fi5st impression not good!!
