It's been two weeks since I dined here and I'm still dreaming about this food. Everything was amazing, from the wait staff to the food. FRESH. Large portions. Good quality ingredients. A bread basket that is to die for. I will certainly be back.

Everything was great. The menu is broad, with a lot of good choices no matter what you're hungry for. Our food arrived quickly, even though they had a very large group function at the same time. Everything we ordered was delicious, and the portions were HUGE! The prices are unbelievable for what you get, too. This is just a great place for a family meal or for a large group, since they have the space to accommodate large parties. We were really impressed and will definitely be back.

Me and my partner had our baby shower here. The waiters were very friendly, the restaurant itself was in beautiful condition, and we couldn't have asked for a better venue! The food was delicious, and the drinks were delivered timely and had a great variety!

The raspberry margarita was amazing! Loved they had a gluten free menu!

I have been eating here for many years and I can say that I have never had bad service or a bad meal ever. The food is very consistent and served fresh and hot. The flavor is never lacking and the presentation excellent.

Some of the best Italian food I've ever had.

As soon as you're seated, you're greeted with warm bread, infused oil for dipping, & ice cold water. After our waiter Charles, (who was nothing less than perfect by the way) took our orders, he returned with delectably crisp house salads covered in house made dressing.
We also opted for a fried mozzarella appetizer. The gooey, melty mozzarella fried in a light, homemade batter paired with homemade marinara sauce could've been an entree on its own!
For our actual entrees, my girlfriend decided on Eggplant Parmesan, while I chose the five cheese ravioli. After a short while, massive, piping hot dishes were delivered to our table smothered in more baked mozzarella and sauce. The balance of flavor would be best compared to eating a symphony. Notes of sweet sauce and hints of garlic carried each delicious bite of pasta smoothly and made for one of the best meals I've ever eaten.
All in all, I highly recommend eating here, I've had tons of Italian food but nothing like this.

I really appreciate honest reviews because nowadays going out to eat is a luxury that's getting harder and harder to enjo be it financially or customer service, so many things have changed since 2020.

This may be harsh as I was in the industry for over 20 years. It was my heart and passion, until it wasn't!

Made a reservation online, once the restaurant opened, the reservation went through, annoying Google texts trying ever 30 minutes not necessary, oh well not Marcos fault.

Walked in party of 2'for 530 pm on a Thursday. One person waiting in front of us , looked like she hadn't been greeted. A couple minutes later a young woman greeted her and took care of her. Our turn! Ixhad stated we were a reservation, she didn't even ask my name so maybe I was silly anticipating needing reservations, the parking lot seemed to have quite a few cars in it, up on walking to our table notice many open tables.
We got to a sectioned off room with four other couples .
Sat down, and we're sitting talking for a bit before a gentleman came over very polite and said he would be over momentarily.
A good 5 minutes go by and he comes over with water and bread and again so politely says he would be right over, very nice of him to just get us started.
He comes over takes our order , we were very ready at this point. I understand he might have been busy.
I order an alcoholic drink, an appetizer our meals.
Drinks come french kiss yummy !! appetizer comes spinach and artichoke dip. It was good. No juicy details just good.
Server, still super polite and trying to be respectful of us not finishing our appetizer had to ask if salads were ok to come now....we had been ready for them for quite some time.
Salad was good fresh . Parmesan peppercorn dressing was yummy
I got a special the braised short ribs and my dining partner got tortellini.
I was surprised, My braise short ribs were not like ones I have had before , they just tasted like my pork shoulder I cook in my crock pot over the course of a day. Carrots were huge, had a good flavor . Mash were nothing special I asked my dining partner how here was, she gave me the "meh" look I tried getting more it of her and the result was "bland".
Server checked on us, we said everything was fine and needed boxes.

I stopped him at one point to ask about dessert. We got the extensive list and asked for tiramisu.

I appreciate the server telling us he was going to check on it to see if it was ok, he came back saying it was perfect and served it to us.

Same feeling as my ribs...I have never had tiramisu taste like that before, and I have had my share.

Sadly I feel a little gelato shoppe in Norway puts out better Italian food than Marcos.

I wasn't disappointed, I just won't spend my surplus budget here.
It just didn't come together right, didn't feel Italian, server was perfectly robotic ( no personality, until the dessert part ) I did overhear he wasn't having a good night from another table and so I hope it got better and I sincerely understand if this is why our service was impacted . Tip not impacted as I stated before there are 4000 reasons why a night out could go wrong and not many of those are the servers fault.

I just wish this was a better review, on to the next !

Food is great but the service is horrible. Called my food in 3 hours ahead of time today and when I showed up the host hadn’t even told anyone about my order. Not to mention it took them a good 5+ minutes of me waiting at the front for a hostess. Currently sitting in the lobby waiting for them to make my food from the beginning. They can do so much better, but they choose not to.
