They were needing some help serving and he had no problem filling the spot because this team of professionals work well as a team. Many from the team have been working together for many years. This is the where you achieve the inviting welcoming family atmosphere. This, along with the great food, made our experience a great one. Thank you Mr. Matthew, we will be visiting again soon.“

“Marco’s and Co, and Kathy, are incredibly professional and easy to work with. We hired them to cater for our small wedding (~65 attendees including bridal party, vendors, and security), and Kathy was extremely helpful and knowledgeable when it came to recommendations, and even provided reasons for why they did certain things they way they did (bowtie pasta for alfredo due to it being attire friendly when it came to sauce, unlike fettuccine). Their food is excellent, accommodating, and they offer a wide variety of options considering their price point, which is absolutely perfect for budgets. Their servers are professional and not pushy when it comes to passing hors d'oeuvres, and they came prepared to package the leftovers in smaller personal containers and in larger foil pans. Overall, their food is amazing, their people are amazing and conduct themselves very professionally. They absolutely outdid themselves, and we would hire them again in a heartbeat.“

“Marco's Lunch Club is literally giving me life. I haven't been able to eat all day because of some ongoing dental work I had this morning. I have been craving Marco's for weeks & today needed* to be the day I had it when I was feeling like a kicked dog. It was everything I needed it to be & more. It seriously took my pain away & filled me with joy & love. This is why Italians are some of the healthiest, heartiest people. This is what food is meant to be. I feel like this 🍄 pasta has left me hugged, healed, & happy.“

“Found this place by accident and was so happy we did. Tasty and flavorful food. The fried mushroom appetizer was so tasty. Then we had a chicken scampi and a make your own pizza which I ordered w bbq sauce, cheese, ham and pineapple. Was. So. So. Good!!! So happy we stopped. Was bummed we were so full and didn’t have room for a cannoli. Great Food!! And the service was awesome. Our waitress was very helpful and friendly.“

“Service was excellent, food was excellent. The server/ waitress harmony was very attentive, she made my family and I feel welcomed. The food is made fresh from scratch, so if you're in a hurry this isn't for you. Good chill vibes and we plan on returning next time we're in town.“
