Really great Italian restaurant. Nice and cozy with a warm wait staff. You could tell your in the right place when there's a table of old school Italian men sitting at the corner table all wearing fedora hats drinking wine and just talking. Locals having great conversation at the bar with the bartender. The bread with the dipping sauce were great. The garlic humus and olive oil and basalmic glaze were amazing. We ordered the sautéed mussels in cherry tomato sauce. That dish was absolutely perfect. Doing the bread in that sauce was another added bonus. We got the baby clam linguine. That dish was very good the only complaint was the pasta was a bit undercooked. My friend ordered the same dish and felt the same. Overall a great experience with great food and service. Would highly recommend.

We just happened upon this place when we were staying at the Homewood Suites next door to it. We were just looking for a quick bite for a late lunch on a Friday afternoon. We ordered paninis, and they were delicious! The staff was so nice and accommodating, even after we told them that we were in a hurry. And then, I accidentally left my purse there, and they took care of it until I could get back there to retrieve it, just before they closed. I would love to go there again when we have more time to try their dinner menu.

One of our favorite Italian restaurants in the north shore. It can get pretty busy and the service does get slower especially when they open up the patio. But the food is always great so it’s worth the wait.

Italian food at its best. With its intimate size it allows them to focus on the several plates at hand rather than trying to pump out tons of tables at once. Smart choice! There is such attention to detail and every bit of food they'll put out, masters!I was with a party of 6 and got to try 5 of their dishes as well as my own. Each and everyone of them blew me away.The chicken milanse was my favorite, bright cherry tomatoes, arugula, lemon sauce and a breaded piece of chicken that was easily over 12 inches. Their meatballs ( I've never liked a restaurant meatball in the past) were completely moist and full of flavor. Pasta alla fongale ( baby clam sauce over linguine) was perfectly seasoned, many restaurants add far too much garlic to this dish and overwhelm it, and disguise the natural clam flavor. Marcos has the best balance I've ever had at an establishment.The waitstaff were pleasant, observsnt and accommodating. Drinks were priced fairly and inline with other alcohol offerings in the area. Terrific wine selection also.We will be back

Amazing Italian food with a nice modern atmosphere. Make sure to get reservations if it’s a weekend as it’s not a huge location and they fill up ! Their aranchinis are delicious and crispy (make sure to ask for extra sauce as it’s delicious). I got this chicken broccoli and fussili and it was a 10/10. Filled with flavor and perfectly cooked pasta with amazing chicken and broccoli. You definitely need to ask for more bread to clean the plate once you finish. The creme brûlée for dessert was also amazing and full of flavor. Will be back !

The Bartenders were young but know how to make good drinks, Pedro was our bartender. Food very fresh and tasty.

Owner or Manager was very nice. I was told to go there yesterday by a friend. That was probably the worst view Veal Marsala I've ever had in my life. I was a cook for almost 25 years. I cannot believe I pay $23 for two small pieces of veal and hardly any pasta. I really blew my mind I was expecting a lot more. Very disappointed I will not be returning.

My girlfriend and I went here last night and the food was great, but the experience was very bad. They are open until 10pm(says 11 online) and at 9 it felt like they were kicking us out. We were the only ones in there which is not a good look in the first place.The server was coming over to the table after 10mins trying to take my girlfriends plate. At one point she went to grab the dish from her after she said she wasn't done and had to pull the plate back, with half the dish full of food still.I then went to the bathroom and when I came back it got even worse. The servers were bad talking about us and when my girlfriend looked over to them standing behind the bar they were staring at her and quickly turned away once they noticed she could hear them. Very disrespectful and to see how mad that made her after all this really got to me too.This was the first time I didn't leave a tip for my server and we left.I definitely will not be going back here and the fact that no one else was in there shows me that other people don't like it here either.

Had never heard of Marco's until today (Valentine's Day). Glad I ordered. I don't know, but their pasta alone was a 10/10 and tasted homemade. Calamari was crunchy and perfectly salted. The only thing I didn't like was that they did not use tentacles for the fried calamari or in their fruiti di Mari. Will definitely be going again!
