    I am just happy I found this nice little restaurant, the service is great, but most of all the food is just perfectly delicious! Simple and sophisticated recipes, I will definitely be eating there again regularly! Italian food at its best, thank you.

    Lovely, friendly little local with great staff. A welcome addition to the area, great for a bite before going to the Barbican centre or for a longer evening relaxing.

    A wonderful cosy family place with excellent service and authentic Italian food. Pizza, chicken salad and seabass are highly recommended.

    Great, enthusiastic, service and excellent food. Interesting menu and wine options. The candlelight made for a relaxed atmosphere. We would definitely go again when in that area of town.

    A charming place; great food location and atmosphere. Second time in a week. One small issue; let me have a paper bill to check.

    I do not always review, but I found the lace exceptionally nice. The atmosphere was really nice, and the staff was very attentive. We originally booked for 8:15, but my friend had an unexpected video interview that went way longer than expected and they were generous enough to let me wait for her to finally end her call about 45 minutes later. In addition, the food was amazing. There was less overall choice than I expected, but every choice we had was of high quality and amazing flavor. We did not try any of the pizzas, but their entrees and main plates were definitely worth every bite. Would definitely recommend for anyone seeking good food in a tranquil and cozy place.

    The restaurant is small but comfortable enough but the menu was exceptionally short and we were all struggling to find something that appealed to us. there were smoked dishes on two courses, too many when one only has a choice of three items. The cooking was satisfactory but the dishes were not especially original or interesting. One dish was no longer available giving even less choice. I was really hoping this would be a good little restaurant local because we live very near but sadly it didn't make us want to go back.

    The starter and main dish were excellent but the desserts are poor and not worth £7.50.

    Really loved the vibe of the place. Great recommendation in wine! Had the mushrooms to start which was so good and gnocchi which was exactly needed. Would happily go back!

    Marco’s is our neighbourhood “go to” restaurant. The food, service and ambience are always perfect. It’s our first choice for taking guests for a great experience.

    A lovely intimate restaurant, great staff who were happy to help and suggest food and wine choices. Excellent choices by the way. Food was absolutely delicious and very well priced. Had the sea bass ravioli and gnocchi dishes. Would definitely recommend and will visit again.

    A lovely little Italian restaurant right next to Barbican station. It's always hard to find independent restaurants in Zone 1. This is a great little find. Great service, food great. Would recommend.

    A simple, well executed menu that tasted delicious. Everything was cooked perfectly and I was left wanting more. My compliments to the chef! Service was efficient yet friendly & relaxed, and we were allowed to eat our meal in peace and at our leisure, which is becoming a rare thing in the London dining scene these days. The ambience was also great, and was impressed with the cosy setting and marble finishes. I would highly recommend and look forwards to going back!
