“We're visiting Knoxville and were looking for a nice Italian meal. This place didn't disappoint. We were greeted by friendly staff and got a few suggestions. We started with cheesy bread, perfection! The dough was good with a nice chewiness, lots of cheese and garlic. I had a ham calozone and it was cooked perfectly, that great dough, real ricotta cheese and seasoning, a nice robust marina on the side. My husband had the tortellini with meat sauce and garlic bread. The pasta was the perfect. We both had the recommended tiramasu, this is the star of the show. I have never tasted such wonderful food. We each had a fountain drink and all together was only $50. Service was phenomenal. I'm sad to go home because I know I have nothing close to the quality of this place. Absolutely phenomenal from start to finish. We'll be heading there again tomorrow for lunch so we can have it one more time before leaving Knoxville.“

“We decided to grab food here last minute. We were seated right way, brought drinks and a salad. The bread took a little longer but not that much longer. And the place was very busy. So that was understandable. Our waiter was so great. Such a great personality, checked on us regularly, and was very personable! I believe his name was Joseph, (I hope that was correct). We sat to the right when you walk in to the area with center tables on the bar side booth at the back. I hope that made sense ha! I just want the waiter to get the credit he deserves! He deserves a raise! And our food came out quickly as well. I got the shrimp and chicken carbonara and my husband got the Calabrian Steak & Shrimp Bucatini both were so great!“

“Food was good,service was ok,short staffed, but seems to be every I go.place was clean, good Italian music“

“With chain pizza restaurants I believe either you like their 'style' of pizza or you don't. In the past I've learned I don't like Marco's style as much as other chains but I do want to give them kudos today.

We were going to a friend's and they wanted to cater in Marco's from this location so we offered to pick it up on the way.

They were quick, they were friendly, it was super hot 🔥 and for as many item as we picked up reasonably priced.

If you live near this location and like it Marco's style I would recommend you order.“
