First of all the food was unexpectedly excellent. Unexpectedly because of the low price. Kids menu was versatile and we got the cheeseburger, huge and good with good toppings and perfect tomato slices. I got the French onion soup, again excellent, as was the shrimp scampi over angel hair. Big shrimp cooked perfectly with loads of garlic and capers. My wife got the carbonara which she enjoyed and took home half, glass of wine and carrot cake all around. Service was top notch even though she was new. Check came to $71.00. Impressive for soup to wine and dessert. Quality was as good as twice the price. We will be back to try the Delmonico. I was afraid to try it because it was so cheap, but I will definitely try it next time. Lovely place and very well done.

We went on a Friday night in December. There was a large group of about 20 and a few other patrons. They were a bit under staffed but they handled service fairly well. Probably not as quick as it might be normally but staff was pleasant and attentive. It's BYOB still . If you want wine with dinner there is package store a couple of doors down but there wine selection is pretty limited particularly on chilled whites . Marco's is a nice place . There is nothing outstanding about the decor either way. Easy to hold a conversation. I have a couple of issues with the food and it presentation . It's largely Italian American . I had the salmon Rosa and my wife had the chicken piccata. The taste was fine and the components properly cooked. However both were served as " bowls". With the notable exceptions of Korean bibimbap , Japanese Udon/noodle bowls I am not a fan of all my food mixed in a bowl. Part of eating for me is tasting with the three senses, my sight, my smell and my taste . With the exception of the above listed bowls which are quite often beautiful most bowls flunk the sight test. I expected my salmon to be a sauce and served over pasta which it was either in a bowl or on a plate. The salmon however were large pieces of nicely grilled salmon out on top of the pasta in a bowl . It that was the choice then I would rather have the salmon served next to the pasta. I expected smaller pieces of salmon incorporated into and as part of the sauce . Chicken piccata was more problematic for us. Normally this dish is a nicely sautéed lightly bread chicken cutlet in a light lemon butter sauce with capers. When done right, this is a bright and light dish often served with a side of lightly dressed pasta (perhaps just some olive oil, pepper and a sprinkle of good parm). This was mixed bowl of chicken, pasta and sauce which lost all sense of the best qualities of this dish. It cam off has heavy . None of the ingredients were cooked badly, in fact quite well. If you are a fan of the current bowl mania Marco's might be your cup of tea.

We just love Marco’s. The food is great & we’re treated like family. We love Judy our server; we call her Marca because she’s integral to the wonderful experience of Marco’s. My favorite dish is chicken francese but we all loved everything we ate.

My wife and I met another couple for dinner at Marco's. The restaurant has an unassuming and unimpressive frontage which belies the great food options within. We were promptly greeted and seated for our reservation. Marco's has a full Italian menu from a variety of pizzas to veal/chicken parmesan, shrimp diablo to baked salmon etc. We each had a different meal and were thoroughly enjoyed. While the new owners await their liquor license you can BYO. The atmosphere is not stuffy and yet sufficiently quiet enough to carry on adult conversation. All dinners come with bread and soup or salad and large portions. I will most definitely return to sample more of this "hidden gem".

The calamari taste good very small portion for the price and wasn't hot Luke warm at best. The pasta was over priced and over cooked. The chicken was dry. The wine was great and priced right. There deserts where very good had the strawberry cheese cake very good and the lemon cake very good.

Food was great. Service was fine. It was unusual that we had to wait before we were seated because they only have 10 menus and all were being used. Really?

Another enjoyable dining experience at Marco's. We brought a friend this time. We shared the spinach and artichoke crostini to begun. Our friend enjoyed the Spinach Sacchettini, giving it high marks. One of us had the Bolognese, the other the Blue Cheese Alfredo. Both are favorite dishes at Marco's. They did not disappoint.
