" I love Marco's for its cozy environment, especially for a family dinner. They also make an effort to accommodate dietary restrictions, which is a huge plus. The food is satisfying, and the menu is extensive enough to have options for everyone. I found their garlic bread irresistible, just perfect for dipping. I will be coming back for more!
