osteria marco

pizza was great, so was dessert.servicewas friendly and everything was made from scratch. we had the carne pizza with ricotta cheese and chocolate hazelnut torte. both were amazing and the prices are very reasonable.

so good!. great location, greatserviceand great menu. the burrata cheese was like heaven on a plate. i only hate i do not live in denver and have not been able to find burrata ever since! followed the best cheese course in history with a pizza and the crust was perfection. will visit here again if i ever get the chance to visit denver in my future!

the food andservicewas awesome! john was my server, very knowledgeable about the menu and drink menu also. he had no problem talking about and explaining the menu, and wanted to help me better understand the menu. the rabbit dish was amazing! the meat was so tender and not gamey at all. the brodo sauce with gnocci was an excellent compliment to the rabbit dish!

fantastic service, great food and reasonable price.. if you are looking for an italian restaurant in denver,this is the place!
theservicewas just amazing, with managers always checking on theserviceand giving recommendations. you can't miss the pizza with fig, prosciutto and goat cheese. i also suggest the mussels.
best of all, the price is more than fair.
every time i come back to denver, this will be in my dining list.

excellent bar food. had some of the best bar food i've had in a while. very inexpensive for the high quality level of fare; we had an appetizer, a pizza and desert with two beers for under $40. great atmosphere & theservicewas prompt and knowledgeable. very kid-friendly for a bar type location. a must if you're in denver.

delicious pizza. so my friend came to visit and she wanted to try this place before they left. so before their send off we came here for dinner. the atmosphere was nice, it is not on the street level but down below. the lighting was dim and it felt laid back and relaxed. one thing that is great is that they have house crafted meats and cheeses! we were all craving pizza but it was hard to choose from. two pizzas caught my eye the fig and crispy prosciutto pizza which had fig puree, goat cheese, fontina and truffle oil. the other was the lamb conserva which had castelvetrano olives, fontina and goat cheese. we both decided to order and share. we were very pleased. and even though i prefer salty over sweet for pizza the fig and prosciutto was very good. i kept coming back to that pizza because of the thin crispy pieces of prosciutto. yum!. overall great food, greatserviceand relaxed atmosphere. i would reccommend osteria marco for your next pizza experience!

great food,serviceand price. i have been to osteria marco many times and love the food here. i especially love their house cured meats and homemade cheeses. i have never had a backserviceexperience here and recommend this place to everyone!

my favorite place to eat in downtown.. i live in lodo, so osteria marco is my "go to." i bring visiting family and friends here all the time. incredible food, great wine list, the best "real" cocktails in town, and incredibly impeccableservice(even on the busiest nights, the waitstaff is always right there when you need them, and they are never overbearing.) their grilled bread is delicious. before or after a movie, our staples are the burrata, a couple side caesars and a pizza! even with 2 glasses of wine, the bill is still under $50. i would eat here every night if i could.

what a blast. great place. salumeria rocks. the speck is the best i have had in denver. nice cheeseboard. mussel in fennel broth had me asking for another four plates of bread to get at the broth. oh msn that was good. cool vibe.servicewas great. responsive. unobtrusive. on point. wine list is pretty deep and not too over the top price-wise. i dig this place and cannot wait to go back.

gorgeous fig pizza...nothing better. house white wine crisp w nice bouquet! greatservice...our group had a blast! also the meatball sliders were genius and the buffalo/ricotta was pure heaven! thank you!

what happened??!!. my wife and i loved this place, until friday. the menu has changed, and not for the better... theservicewas not nearly what it has been in the past, and they stopped carrying the wine we love that we've only been able to find there. not only that, but the waiter brought out a bottle which was not the same year, and was way too young. should be another year at least before that bottle should be opened...

everyone's food came out but only one dish was served correctly. the pizza!

i only write good reviews, but this was such a let down i had to let people know. if you went and loved it, be prepared.

we had planned a special night out with my in-laws and had talked this place up, only to be let down... hard.

did they change owners? change management?

will be a while before i think about going back.

always on point. i reviewed this osteria marco after our first experience for lunch, which was fantastic, so i wanted to write one for our dinner experiences. we've been here many times and have taken family and friends. the staff are always great. never snooty, rude, or short, and they are always happy to answer (in detail) what the specials are, what's changed on the meat and cheese platters (always start with this), and their favorite wine.
for those that don't know this place and what it's about, they make their own products. everything from tonic water to fresh ricotta cheese wrapped in their fresh mozzarela.
highly recommend this place to anyone living or visiting the area.

...polo!. having just moved to the area, we were out doing the local touristy stuff that you're supposed to do, and stumbled here for lunch. the food was perfect and so were the staff. our server was knowledgeable, prompt (our glasses never emptied and i never wondered where she was or where our food was), and her recommendations were spot on.

we had the meat and cheese as a starter. traditional italian meats and cheeses perfectly sliced and well flavored. great way to start. i had the lamb sandwich which i absolutely loved. the tapenade went incredibly well with the lamb, and everything just about melted in my mouth... my wife had a beef tenderloin salad, which she said was also delicious.

if lunch was this good, we can't wait to get back for dinner!
