Best part about our visit: spicy margarita. If you're looking for a place to get good mixed drinks, this is worth checking out.If you want a great meal, I'd search elsewhere. At nearly $100 a person, I was pretty disappointed. I got the carbonara which was nothing special. Among our table of 6, the scallops were the best meal ordered and they tasted great!Also disappointing was our waiter. She wasn't very friendly, which with the 22% included service charge, I guess you don't have to be to get a good tip.

we dined on the patio in Larimer Square. Eric knew the menu well. he was right there with whatever we needed. the kitchen did a wonderful job preparing everything in a timely manner. there was a man singing & playing an instrument & he added to the experience. songs were varied & all enjoyable. we'll be back!

A pop of spice and creamy tomato base made this pasta dish delicious. Definitely a dish to order, again and again.

To make a reservation, I had to pay a $15 per person reservation fee (totaling $45). We arrived right on time for a 6:30 p.m. reservation and still had to wait 15 min for a table (unacceptable given we paid to have a time reserved). Service was rushed. Food was average at best. I think this place is trying to be something it is not. The place wasn't even that busy on a Monday night. There were a number of empty tables. I can understand a reservation fee on a Friday or Saturday night, but Monday seems silly. The fee is refundable, but given I had to wait on a table and the food wasn't even that great (I've had way better Italian back home), I just can't recommend Osteria Marco.

Fantastic mushroom fettuccini with truffle oil. The house salad is also great. Service is really good, very attentive. Spanish is also spoken. Very convenient location. Nice terrace. They charge 22% for service (tip to be shared among the team).

This was our first visit to Denver and we decided to try Osteria Marco on Larimer Street. We were not disappointed. This is a busy restaurant. We had the Artisan Pizza with a side salad. The pizza was delicious and the salad was the size of a dinner salad, it was simply delicious. Our waiter was friendly and attentive. I would definitely recommend this place because we enjoyed our meal. The only downside was that they automatically charge a 20% tip to be split by the entire staff. Then you can tip your waiter/waitress on top of that. I'm not a fan of this system. Just charge us the appropriate amount, and pay your people a proper wage, like in Europe where we are NOT expected to tip.

Maggie, I love her. Maggie made up the difference for Nick forgetting my cock otherwise I would’ve posted the five star review I love her personality. The Arugula salad with the Panini was amazing but I have to tell you I absolutely loved the artichoke. I WOULD RECOMMEND

awesome place. the beef carpaccio was heavenly. luca’s wild mushroom fusilli was fantastic especially since the pasta was homemade. service was great and great location near the rockie’s stadium and other restaurants for game day.

Phenomenal. Everything we tried was fantastic, and service was very prompt and knowledgeable.Portion size was uniquely perfect: at first seemed small, but left you comfortably full when done... Just enough room for dessert.

Everything we had was very well prepared, but each dish could have fed a whole crew! The over-abundance was to the point of wasteful. We had chicken parmesan, fusili with mushrooms, two kinds of salads, and pizza Margarita. No one could finish their meals. Service was fine and prices OK. I would rather they reduce the portions and prices. Covid vaccination proof was required for entry.
