Big Marco's Italian Restaurant is a cozy spot known for its pasta, sandwiches, fantastic pizza, and wings. This third-generation family-run business in St. Catharines is recognized for its excellent and consistent food quality. The homemade Arrabbiata sauce is a highlight, along with the mussels and the fresh pasta. Many customers appreciate the friendly and accommodating service provided by the staff, who are always fast to assist, adding to the welcoming atmosphere. Guests can enjoy a glass of beer or wine at the bar while waiting. Although the restaurant could use an update, with some unfinished work inside, the music is nice and not loud, creating a comfortable setting. Diners often find the large portions to be fairly priced, making it a popular local hangout. While some diners mentioned issues with the thin pizza crust being difficult to bite through and encountering olive pits in their meal, the overall experience is highly praised. The free focaccia bread and olive oil enhance the dining experience. Big Marco's is highly recommended for casual Italian dining or special occasions, like a wedding anniversary, where the staff makes guests feel like family. The pizza, wings, and chicken parm are family favorites, and many enjoy taking home the salad dressing and pasta sauce. Recent reviews highlight the fantastic service and the restaurant's ability to accommodate groups, making it a great choice for teams and families alike.
