The menu features regional dishes from all around Italy, including things like grilled oysters, tagliatelle with prosciutto, pici with broccoli, chicken cacciatore, and spit-roasted pork loin.

“‘Portlandia’-level preciousness is forgivable because the kitchen is equally meticulous. At Marco’s, a fancier and more expensive restaurant, the pastas are the primi, rather than the main event.” Read more

Incredibly small portions. Order more than you think you should. The tagliatelle with prosciutto and the bruschetta are standouts, but you'd want double the portion size.

Great food,staff, people and atmosphere. My new favorite restaurant . From the minute you walk in the door you are treated like family. Best farm to table.

Dinner in the garden at Marco’s is a fairytale dream date! May we recommend the Wood-Grilled Oysters, Spaghetti, Scallops & the Carolina Gold Rice!

The food here is seasoned just so the ingredients are better versions of themselves. There's a lot of thought and some technique going on to bring out such clean flavors. Incredible!

Such a lovely place for a fancy but not stuffy dinner. Prosciutto antipasti comes on little puffs drizzled with balsamic, like an incredible prosciutto donut.

From the beloved artisanal Brooklyn pizzeria Franny's comes Marco's, an upscale venture that will serve rotisserie meats, fish on the plancha and house-made pastas. Read more

a really stellar meal of food and great cocktails and wine, which made up for the fact that they royally screwed up our reservation and the hostess was very unfriendly about it.
Henry BridgeNovember 21, 2014
Excellent pastas, consistently delicious small plates, and if you're thirsty, solid cocktails too!
Jen BSeptember 26, 2013
Less awesome than I had hoped for vegetarians. Still, everything was delicious and the vibe was good. Felt more "Italian" than Frannys.
Lucia OrlandiOctober 12, 2014
Hands down my favorite Italian in the neighborhood, for brunch or dinner.
Fueled CollectiveSeptember 16, 2013
The real Italian experience. Wood-grilled meats and finely prepared dinners make this restaurant a must-visit.
Chris PhillipsNovember 2, 2013
I recommend the wood roasted oysters and the light, homemade pasta with prosciutto.
Sefi KeiniFebruary 22, 2014
Wood fired oysters are fantastic, as is everything else that comes out of that oven

The striped bass with Sicilian condiment was phenomenal. Lima and cranberry beans were awesome.
Brian MooreMay 13, 2014
Like Gin? Try the Sicilian Ransom—kind of like an Old Fashioned with gin.
Eat This NYDecember 29, 2013
I thought portion sizes are fair but slightly overpriced. Oysters and tagliatelle are both really really good!

The tagliatelle, tossed with strands of prosciutto, will make any destination diners very angry they aren’t residents of Prospect Heights Read more
Shary TranNovember 2, 2013
Order the striped bass and the Lima/cranberry bean dishes. Outstanding.
raquelJanuary 5, 2014
You can't go wrong with the tagliatelle with prosciutto.
Meg BlockerNovember 10, 2013
Definitely try the Chemist in the Rye.
David BarrieAugust 18, 2014
Parmigiana & pasta prosciutto in garden...delicious :p
Christina SuarezOctober 7, 2013
Order the roasted fennel with Parmesan and you will not regret it!
Michael WiederAugust 16, 2014
Everything is amazing. Sit in the garden!
Gary FurstMarch 16, 2014
Reservations mean shit. An hour and fifteen minutes later we have finally been seated. Chicken (my choice) was sold out. Not a great start but willing to give them the benefit of the doubt.
Henry BridgeNovember 21, 2014
Make sure you get grilled bread in some form!
Brian MooreMay 13, 2014
The backyard is beautiful.
Kate FurstMarch 16, 2014
The hostess is kinda bitchy. Our reservation was at 8:30. It's 9:45 and we still haven't been seated
Peter JosephSeptember 21, 2014
Definitely try the tagliatelle, but skip the oysters (there are just not enough for the price).
Melody GambinoDecember 10, 2014
Cute restaurant but the food at Frannies or Flatbush Farm was more enticing
Daniel PowerNovember 4, 2013
Awesome dishes and great playlist.
Vivek BelloreFebruary 22, 2014
Let Graham pick your drink. You don't be disappointed
Brian MooreMay 13, 2014
Literally impossible to order anything that's not delicious.
Sefi KeiniNovember 8, 2014
Dinner is great, brunch is very underwhelming
Jessica ShimJanuary 8, 2014
Zagat says try the Chestnut agnolotti
Renee F. The Brooklyn BiteNovember 1, 2013
Fontina agnolotti. Yummmm.
Saif DiaSeptember 8, 2015
Now closed.
David BrahlerNovember 23, 2014
This place is closing because it's not an unsustainable model or food is bad, but rather the service staff is terrible.
Monica DamashekJanuary 12, 2014
Beyond overrated.
