Osteria MarcoExcellent for large partiesWe hosted a group of 12 for dinner on a Sunday night. They seated us in a section of the restaurant that was out of the way and ideal for a large party. Our server was great, quite knowledgeable about wine offerings which were all excellent paired with our meal and quite reasonably priced - I had intentionally planned on ordering a couple of 2004 Montelpulcianos when she came back and said they received a couple of 2001 bottles that we could get for the same price and they were amazing. Food options at Osterio Marco are ideally suited for a large group - lots of large plate appetizers, charcuterie and pizzas for sharing. All in all an excellent experience, will definitely do it again, whether it's just the two of us or a large group.5/19/2013 12:00:00 AMGood food great service.Took my wife out for her birthday wanted to try someplace new. The food was great and our waiter was fantastic. The calamari was a fantastic appetizer and very different then other restaurants.5/17/2013 12:00:00 AMGood Place for Pre-Theatre DiningThis is the first time my wife and I have eaten at Osteria Marco and we definitely will return. For entrées, my wife had lamb meatballs and they were delicious. I had a pizza and it was fine, though I'll probably try something else next time. The wine was excellent and reasonably priced. For appetizers, I had meatball sliders and my wife had cauliflower soup. Both were very good and we'd order both dishes again. We ate outside, so we didn't have a chance to experience the inside dining area, but the patio dining is very pleasant and provides a great people-watching experience. The waitstaff are well trained and efficient - very friendly and helpful. Our total bill came to $100 - before tip - and the dining experience was worth it.5/17/2013 12:00:00 AMThe service was excellent!The service was excellent! The cheese and meat platter was excellent. I wish the entree list had more of a selection and included some pasta dishes. I would come back here only for the atmosphere and appetizers.5/15/2013 12:00:00 AMGreat dinner choiceThe menu has something for everyone, the food is outstanding,t he service unobtrusive and the menu is priced well. Ambiance is fun. This is not a romantic spot, but it's fun and definitely worth going.
It's very noisy in the back room, if you don't want to have to elevate your voice to speak to your dinner companion(s) ask to sit closer to the door.5/15/2013 12:00:00 AMFood was great. It was a littleFood was great. It was a little pricey for what you actually got but still good.5/12/2013 12:00:00 AMAfter theater supperThe food was delicious. Very interesting inside restaurant in a basement, but with charm. The wait staff were excellent. The food was excellent and not too much on the plate- good portion control with lots of flavor. Even with my food allergies, I was able to find many options.5/12/2013 12:00:00 AMFantastic!!!Closest thing to Italy we've found in Denver. Authentic Italian pizza with super-thin crust. Homemade cheeses and meats are delicious and the lamb meatballs are amazing. We've been a few times and have not been disappointed. Highly recommended if you love real Italian food!5/12/2013 12:00:00 AMLoved it!I was visiting Denver last weekend, and this restaurant was recommended to me by a friend. I'm so glad that I did! We had the meatball sliders, the quinoa salad, and the mushroom truffle pizza, and they were all AMAZING. The bread on the sliders was incredible, and the meatballs were spiced perfectly. I would definitely recommend this place to others!5/10/2013 12:00:00 AMYumWe started with the house made cheese. Yum! I had the beet salad and we split a carne pizza. Soooooo good!5/10/2013 12:00:00 AMCheese and meat selectionCheese and meat selection is a great choice....lets you try a bit of everything. our waitress was fantastic, she was very knowledgeable about the menu. Pizzza was very tasty.5/10/2013 12:00:00 AMFoodie dining without the fussOsteria Marco keeps the menu simple and sticks to great flavor combinations to earn its reputation. Paninis, pizzas, salads and a handful of entrees each boast mouth-watering temptations. The meat platter included four delicious flavors, some meats cured in-house, others from New York. Beet salad was well-balanced and light. Carne pizza was tasty but otherwise unremarkable. Rabbit entree was among my top ten entrees ever--so well-balanced, nothing stuck out. The presentation was perfect for getting every component with each bite. Amazing!5/7/2013 12:00:00 AMGreat Girls' Night OutWe had a girls' night out at Osteria Marco and everyone in our group loved it! The food and service were wonderful!5/4/2013 12:00:00 AMJust a great experience!We are two couples, long time friends, and are always in search of great food and wine. We found it here at Osteria Marco! We shared the mushroom and truffle oil pizza for an appetizer and it was outstanding! Four very different entrees, all winners, including the famous lamb meatballs, the seared scallops, the steelhead, and a special of braised rabbit. We had the wine manager help with a wine selection, and he couldn't have been better, offering a great suggestion that was exactly what we were looking for. The service, especially our waiter Brent, was excellent and fast, and this was on a very busy Saturday night. We will definitely return and bring others along!5/4/2013 12:00:00 AMLove it!Food and service are great, one of our new favorite spots!5/3/2013 12:00:00 AMLove this place!What else is there to say... great food, great service, cool place!

We had a table for 9 which is always tough, but it was outstanding.4/25/2013 12:00:00 AMDining for corporate team dinnerHosted a corporate event there for my boss and his team. They had the table set in a nice area away from everyone. The food was on point ! I could tell the ingredients that were used were of fine quality. The waitress was very friendly, but they were super busy so everything did take a little longer than usual. She had to ask for the drink order of one of the people at the table again and moved a bit slow, so that wasn't good, but other than that, IT WAS AMAZING. Will definitely be hosting another event there for the company again ! Everything from drinks, appetizers, to entrees were delicious. When the bill came out we expected it to be way more than it was. Managed to get a high quality meal in that fit our budget, 5 stars !!!!4/23/2013 12:00:00 AMEverything we had exceededEverything we had exceeded our expectation. The suckling pig was amazing! The best bread pudding we have ever had!!!!4/21/2013 12:00:00 AMGreat food. Never disappoints.Great food. Never disappoints. Loved our waiter. I wish I could think of his name.

Would go back andLoved it! Would go back and gladly recommend it. Great service and great food!4/12/2013 12:00:00 AMCasual EleganceThe food was exceptional. Having no prior knowledge going in, I was a little surprised to find that although it was Italian as I'd assumed, there was no pasta on the menu. Mostly gourmet pizza and paninis. Just caught me a little by surprise. We had the homemade Buratta, and their House Sausage pizza, and Fig pizza. All just amazing, but the Fig pizza took the prize!
The setting is beautiful, but I found myself wishing it were a little bit quieter for dinner conversation. But the ambiance really worked with the surrounding decor. It fits exquisitely with the menu: casual elegance.4/12/2013 12:00:00 AMOne of the best in DenverOne of the best in Denver period. I have to drive consistently from the Springs to get food of this quality and this establishment is worth it.4/5/2013 12:00:00 AMAlways a great time. I haveAlways a great time.
