    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.

    Excellent pastas, consistently delicious small plates, and if you're thirsty, solid cocktails too!

    Less awesome than I had hoped for vegetarians. Still, everything was delicious and the vibe was good. Felt more "Italian" than Frannys.

    Hands down my favorite Italian in the neighborhood, for brunch or dinner.

    The real Italian experience. Wood-grilled meats and finely prepared dinners make this restaurant a must-visit.

    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.

    I recommend the wood roasted oysters and the light, homemade pasta with prosciutto.

    Like Gin? Try the Sicilian Ransom—kind of like an Old Fashioned with gin.

    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

    Order the striped bass and the Lima/cranberry bean dishes. Outstanding.

    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.

    The hostess is kinda bitchy. Our reservation was at 8:30. It's 9:45 and we still haven't been seated

    Definitely try the tagliatelle, but skip the oysters (there are just not enough for the price).

    Cute restaurant but the food at Frannies or Flatbush Farm was more enticing

    This place is closing because it's not an unsustainable model or food is bad, but rather the service staff is terrible.
