Entering the front door with six people, the manager yelled at us to “Close the Door!” Very rude. Only attended an upstairs private function. Appetizers were good. Drinks were good. But the stairway up was very high and there is no elevator. As we left that evening, there was no lighting to walk down the stairs. Some of the folks in attendance were pushing their 80s and had to be escorted slowly down the steps using phone flashlights. I told the staff this was an accident waiting to happen, but he said “Oh, someone just shutoff the switch”. Which I tried at the top, as well as the bottom but no lighting.

We had a baby shower on the upstairs space. It was beautifully laid out a d everyone enjoyed the food and the atmosphere. The bathrooms are upstairs too, so it really is a self contained space. Candied bacon was excellent. French toast was also really good. Beet salad was great (and I'm not a fan of beets, but this was rent good). Super friendly staff. And everything, like serving the food, happened unnoticed. Just a great place to hold an event. No stress.

Can hands down say this is the best baby shower I've attended in my 20 years in Pittsburgh.

We had the pleasure of having our wedding at Bar Marco’s upstairs event space, Union Hall. Shelby and her team are like a well-oiled machine- our day ran so smoothly and they made sure everything was taken care of so we could truly enjoy the whole day with our guests. The service was impeccable and our family and friends couldn’t stop raving about the food- some of them have even made reservations since our wedding to eat at the restaurant! We will now forever be regular patrons at Bar Marco and cannot thank them enough for making our wedding day truly the best day of our lives.

We had our wedding reception at Bar Marco and it was perfect. Shelby made the planning process so easy, and the staff went above and beyond on the day of. The food was incredible and our guests are still raving about it. The service was warm and seamless, and the space created the exact atmosphere we wanted: intimate, fun, and special. We could not have imagined a better place to celebrate.

I went a couple weeks ago with my family and we had a great time with great service and the food was absolutely amazing, so I booked a reservation to come back with my girlfriend to show her the amazing food. Unfortunately we walked in and they sat us at the bar without even checking our ages (we're both 18). They asked if we were 21 and of course we said no, so they said we couldn't sit at the bar and had no open tables for us. I did not book the bar, I just booked a reservation to sit and eat and instead we were asked to leave. I found it very disappointing that they did not have a place for us to sit, especially after sitting us down and giving us menus and waters. This was a really frustrating experience and I don't recommend for anyone younger than 21

It's not just the wine that impresses here, I've had some of the most memorable meals here. In a town full of good pasta this is one to be reckoned with.

Had dinner here with some friends and it was overall a great dining experience. Lots of small plate options to share if you want to nibble before your entree arrives. We had Amaro flights after our meal, and the bartender came out and discussed the different amaros with us and let us see the bottles. As an added bonus, they are a gratuity-free establishment.

The drinks were fantastic, service was great. All the “appetizers” were delicious- we tried the focaccia, pea shoots, and chicory salad. The risotto and gnocchi was a miss for me- textures were off a bit, and the sauces lacked depth. Overall excellent place that I’ll definitely come back to try other things!
