" Big Marco's is a great family restaurant that I highly recommend! My recent visit was filled with delicious food and friendly service. I tried their shrimp scampi, and it was a hit! The flavors popped and the dish was presented beautifully. The portion size was huge for the price, definitely worth it! The environment was also very inviting for families or gatherings. I look forward to my next visit, and I can't wait to try more dishes! " (*Curated Review*)

" A hidden gem! The food is simply amazing. I ordered the seafood pasta, and it was bursting with flavors. You could taste the freshness of the seafood—definitely not out of a can. The only downside was that it took a little long for our orders to arrive, but it was worth the wait. The atmosphere made up for it; I felt like I stepped into a little Italian villa. Staff were polite, and the prices are reasonable for the quality offered. Overall, I've had a very positive experience and will be back soon to try more items. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a family gathering at Big Marco's a few weeks ago, and it went really well. The service was especially impressive—our server was charming and made sure we were well taken care of throughout the meal. The pasta dishes were excellent and tasted fresh, but the dessert—the tiramisu—was out of this world! This is definitely a lovely place to celebrate special occasions while enjoying authentic Italian cuisine. " (*Curated Review*)

" We celebrated a family birthday at Big Marco's, and what a treat it was! The pasta was fresh and beautifully cooked, with sauces that were rich and well-balanced. We had a variety of dishes at the table, and all were satisfied. However, the wait was really long for our food to come out, so that's why I'm giving them 4 stars instead of 5. The overall experience was nice and the staff was friendly, but I really hope they improve on their kitchen speed. Still, we left with full stomachs and happy hearts! " (*Curated Review*)

" My friends and I decided to try Big Marco's after reading rave reviews. We were not disappointed! The place has a vibrant Italian atmosphere, and the food was delicious. I specifically loved the gnocchi—they tasted homemade and just melted in my mouth. The only reason I didn’t give a full five stars is due to the wait time for our food, which was a bit longer than expected. Still, a fantastic experience overall! " (*Curated Review*)

" A wonderful Italian place that truly delivers on taste and quality! I've been here several times and have always been impressed. The seafood linguine was fresh and generously portioned, while the pizzas never disappoint with their variety. It’s a great spot for families! The servers always have a friendly attitude and make you feel at home. I find their prices reasonable for the quality and quantity of food they serve. Big Marco's is my new favorite Italian spot for sure! " (*Curated Review*)

" Decided to check out Big Marco's after hearing so many good things! I ordered the meatball sub, and it was delicious! The meatballs were so flavorful, and the bun was perfectly toasted. I appreciated the size of the portion for the price; it was very filling. The staff were friendly and made sure we had everything we needed. The only critique I would have is that it was a bit noisy inside, but that's typical for a busy Italian joint like this. Overall, a great restaurant that I will visit again! " (*Curated Review*)
