Very noisy can barely hear each other or the waiter, appetizers and mains arrived at the same time, steak was raw when ordered medium rare.

Everything is good. Food and drinks. I am stuck in the squid pasta. I order it every time. I have not had a bad cocktail and it doesn't matter the time of day.

We love Marmo but unfortunately this time wasn't as good as usual I am sorry to say. The steak and potatoes were way too salty and one of our guests food did not arrive for a period of time while the rest of us had our entrees. And dessert was not our favorite either. Oh well, until next time and hope it will be back to the “Very Good Review I usually write.

Great happy hour, with an awesome bartender! Happy hour food menu was mid, we sampled something from each price point on the happy hour menu, the food was edible, but nothing special. The tiramisu dessert was delicious to end the evening. I would come back for drinks and dessert.

Very nice experience as always. It is nice upscale restaurant which makes you feel very welcome

Marmo is always a reliable option. The dishes are sized perfectly and their choice is always nice and balanced. Pasta dishes that can be ordered as large or small portions are always welcome when we go there.

Our first time in and we were absolutely delighted. I was with a party of three, and we were seated immediately, which was already a super strong start. The restaurant's ambience is absolutely gorgeous: warm lighting, gorgeous decor, and lots of hustle and bustle. Our server was quick to grab the sommelier Oscar, who provided us with loads of great information and helped us pick a really delicious glass of wine to go with our meal, while a team member walked around and doled out fresh rosemary bread and chunked Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese (super nutty and fruity cheese, delicious). I thought that was a whimsical, fun touch. We ordered their prix fixe menu, which was splendid from start to finish. Meal standouts were chickpea soup with olive oil and shaved truffles- rich, which was smooth and nutty and rich without feeling excessive; spaghetti with a swordfish ragu that was tangy and bright, with loads of nice fish flavor; then an olive oil cake that was not terribly sweet and absolutely scrumptious. Marmo was a split second, last minute decision and we'd absolutely be back again. Such a nice evening out!

Hostess was rude, chicken parm was very dry and seems it was reheated in a microwave, not many options on the menu. Wouldn't come back

We arrived about 10 minutes before our reservation time but the hostess got us seated right away. We waited about 10-15 for our other party to arrive and after getting drinks ordered and then ordering our food, which was close to 9, we were all talking but noticed that it seemed to be taking a long time for our dinner to arrive, close to an hour and to me, the restaurant wasn't crazy busy. So that perplexed me. Then the piano music that was being played, was way too loud as we had trouble talking and at one point, I literally put in ear plugs that I carry in the event that we are in an environment so as the one last night. The service was outstanding as our waiter was very kind and answered any questions the table had. As for going back, highly unlikely due to the sheer amount of noise coming from the piano and vocalist.

spur of the moment choice for a Saturday Lunch. Anticipate using valet parking. Staff and servers were welcoming and attentive. Helped understand the menu and wine list. Be prepared to spend some money ( look at online menu to know what to expect.) Will be back.

Food for foodies!
We had a party of 9 and our waitress & server were phenomenal.
We tried a little of everything from the beet carpaccio, charcuterie & 2 types of bruschetta to meatballs, lamb & red snapper. Only 1 person asked for cracked pepper on the lobster fra diavolo.
I am a true foodie and always have something to say about *some*thing. Not here. Everything was great including the wine!

This was a rough one because I hate leaving bad reviews so I took a few days to to make sure it is clear headed. I will start by saying that staff was on point. The restaurant is beautiful and clean. (Might want to turn the A/C down, almost froze us out) the drinks were good but not much volume to them.

Our appetizers, Meatballs : very dense, lacking a real meat flavor, somehow they were cold and warm at the same time, sauce lacked salt, definitely not made to order 2/10. Charred Octopus: Tender, good flavor, nice presentation 7/10. Tuscan Fried Chicken: It was fine, the fried artichokes were the star, nice lemon zip 6.5/10. Blue Crab Bruschetta: our toasted bread was not toasted nor warm. It was almost soggy. The crab wasn't the freshest but the pop from the fresno chili was nice 5/10. Ceasar Salad: excellent presentation really good overall 7/10.

Mains, Lobster Fra Diavolo: an insult to Fra Diavolo and to my pallet. Zero spice, zero flavor, rubbery Lobster. It tasted like Chef Boyardee. No exaggeration. One of the worst pasta dishes I've ever put in my mouth 0/10. Spaghetti Alle Vongole: Best dish we had, the clams were abundant and tender, the candied lemon zest was a nice addition. The pasta was cooked correctly, just an overall good dish 8/10. Veal Parmigiana: veal was a tad undercooked but good. The dish tasted fresh, the mozzarella, the veal, just fresh. It was a clean dish, not a lot of flavor but it was good 7/10. Butternut Squash: Tricky because they initially told us it wasn't ready yet but halfway through the meal they brought it out complements of the staff. Problem was, it was basically raw. Once we took it home and re-heated we enjoyed it. It was an underwhelming experience for us, not sure I would ever return
