I came here with my SO for happy hour, and it was a very nice atmosphere. There is valet parking available, but there is also plenty of street parking. The location is super walkable, and there are many other restaurants with an ice cream place only a couple yards away. The happy hour menu changes every couple of months or so. My partner and I got their $2 oysters, Rigatoni alla Vodka, Tuscan fried chicken, and white fish rillettes. All of the food is well seasoned, and the white fish rillettes are surprisingly my favorite dish. There was also live music, but sadly, the acoustics made the piano too loud, and I could not hear the performer despite sitting next to him. The service was excellent of course. I definitely would come here again for their happy hour.

I heard about this place from a couple people at work and decided to finally try it yesterday afternoon. I ordered the Rigatoni Vodka and it was very delicious, savory, mildly tangy and doughy in texture with great moisture. The little rigatoni pieces were plentiful, soft and had a smidge of bounce to them. I think they could've been cooked a little longer, but all in all they were a solid A alone. The sauce was very tasty and where the flavor was really at. The tomato base, touch of spice, heavy cream, butter, grated cheese and sautéed onions all helped make it a terrific recipe. Those pretty green basil leaves were not only really nice for presentation, but drenching them in the sauce added a wonderfully pleasant, earthy aroma. My entree was a right to the point type of vodka pasta and authentic in a NY cafe fashion. Great, welcoming, friendly service. I will try their Lobster Ravioli or Basil Tortellini next time I return.

I went for dinner on a Saturday night and had an exceptional experience. Complimentary valet parking was provided, and the host seated us immediately upon our arrival for our reservation. The restaurant was busy, yet never felt crowded due to the restaurant's organization and efficiency. People were celebrating birthdays and graduations, adding to the fun vibrancy of the restaurant. I ordered the squid ink campanelle, 8 oz flat iron steak, and smashed potatoes. To my surprise, the steak and smashed potatoes were MY FAVORITE. Totally exceeded my expectations. The Texas wagyu was perfectly cooked with a hint of salt, rosemary, and garlic. Simple, yet perfect. The smashed potatoes were truffled, crispy on the outside, and soft on the inside. I may or may not have ate the entire thing by myself . The pasta had a slightly sweet taste to it, which I was not the biggest fan of. However the blue crab was fresh, and I loved the pairing with the basil and breadcrumbs.

Went for happy hour here and the quality of the food was comparable to the price! Oysters were fresh and pasta was perfectly al dente. Portions are small for the price I will say. It was a very romantic vibe, they had someone playing the piano next to us! We were seated very close to the next table so hopefully they space it out for next time!

We came here for dinner on a Friday night with a reservation - the place was quite busy, so make a reservation if you are able! Their staff was very friendly in making sure we were taken care of throughout the evening. Our group decided to order multiple dishes and share amongst us to try as much as possible. To start, we had the meatballs an calamari appetizer; meatballs were the favorite of the table as we were expecting a crispy calamari vs the stewed version served (texture just wasn't for us). For mains we shared the eggplant parmesan, cowboy ribeye, rigatoni alla vodka, and the special offering of lobster pasta with cream sauce. For me, it was hard to pick a favorite in this course - all were excellent. To end on a sweet note we ordered the tiramisu, which had the perfect blend of coffee flavor to airy texture. All in all, we greatly enjoyed ourselves! We especially enjoyed the live piano player covering contemporary music favorites. Parking: street, garage, or valet (complimentary)

Absolutely loved Marmo! After hearing rave reviews about their pasta, we knew we had to come check this place out. The interior is nicely decorated, a little bit modern and a little bit rustic with a little bit of a chic style. The staff were all incredibly friendly and attentive. My husband and I brought the two kids here for Mother's Day with a reservation beforehand. We ended up ordering way more than we could stomach, but we always somehow use the kids as an excuse to order more (even though only one eats right now and he usually eats enough food to fit inside my fist). For starters, we ordered the calamari, meatballs and carrot salad. The calamari was sautéed, not fried, in a nice tomato based sauce with couscous and capers. I personally could have done without the capers, but the squid was cooked perfectly, leaving a nice chewy bite. The softness of the couscous paired well and the flavors blended nicely. The meatballs were delicious. Each serving comes with 3 giant balls and a small slide of toast with cheese. The meatballs were extremely flavorful and the tomato sauce with cheese were the perfect compliments. Highly recommend this appetizer to share. The carrot salad was refreshing and nothing like I've really tasted. The carrots were both earthy (without tasting like dirt) and sweet at the same time. The cheese paired with it added a nice balance. I would get this again. For entrees, we did half orders of the Squid Ink Campanelle, the Bolognese and the Ricotta Gnocchi. All 3 were delectable but my favorite was the gnocchi. The white sauce on the gnocchi was rich, the gnocchi itself was dense and cheesy, and the rabbit was delightfully flavorful, not gamey at all. The campanelle was amazing as well. Like the gnocchi, the campanelle gave very generous portions of crab meat. This was my husband's favorite. Our toddler really enjoyed his bolognese and I snuck a few bites too - it was good but the least impressive out of the 3. Overall, we really enjoyed the food, service and ambiance here. I would highly recommend it and then top off with dessert at Van Leeuwen or La La Land next door! I will definitely be back to try the risotto next time.
