The most incredible wine, pasta, and service I’ve ever experienced. This restaurant has an intimate feel and a warm atmosphere. Highly recommend for celebrating a special occasion.

Always fantastic food and service.
Our favourite dish is the fettuccine with shaved black truffles. A very simple olive oil sauce let’s the pasta and black truffles speak. And they are not cheap on the truffles.

Always a gem, though I personally think the idea of having the raw seafood display to be a moderate turnoff when the restaurant is as small as Da Marco is (even fresh seafood has an odor). Feels like a dated concept to me (the seafood display). Still one of our favorites!

Embarrassed to say this was my first visit to Da Marco but it for sure won't be my last. Considering the outstanding food, excellent service & beautiful ambiance it's quite reasonably priced for a fine dining establishment (dinner for 4 with 2 bottles of wine, appetizers, truffle pasta, mains, desert and after dinner drinks, glasses of sparkling etc. ~$1100) and the kitchen delivered across the board. I had the lamb chops and they were on par, possibly better, than BCN (which is my local benchmark). Perfectly cooked and seasoned with the right side dishes. Wine selection is top notch, if a little pricey. Service on the same level as BCN too... Impressive. Can't believe I waited 10 years to dine here. It's going to be a frequent destination going forward.

This was the first time we went there with our friends. Appetizers, especially grilled octopus was delicious along with artichoke. Service was great except one "cocky" waiter.. The only other cons were the table that had an uneven line (see the pic) on it that almost kept me busy trying not to spill my drink... Talking about drinks, this place DOES NOT serve cocktails!

This restaurant has the most exclusive feel to it. My husband and I made a reservation because I wanted something with truffles and let me tell you the pasta dish I got was AMAZING.

The truffle pasta is amazing!!! Might be a tad rich sauce by itself but we shared so it worked out great. The special of he day fish was good but not for the price. Service is excellent and they did great job on the panna cotta with extra decorations as it was our anniversary.

The lady in the front was rude we had a reservation at 7:30 and she told me we didn’t even after showing here the confirmation on my phone. Then she proceeded to tell me that it would be 45-60 wait. I’m not sure who the gentleman was that asked what the problem was I’m assuming the manager but he took one look at the computer and said oh yes your table is ready. So I’m not sure if we weren’t the typical looking people that could dine there or what. With that being said the food was outstanding and the waiter was excellent at taking care of us. I got to try truffles for the first time and they were amazing! I ordered the pasta with truffles, my husband ordered the appetizer with the octopus I’m not much into that but he said it was very good. He ordered the ny strip steak and said it was good.

Wow, wow & wow. Amazing service, amazing food, unique selections among great favorites. Quaint atmosphere with folks who are very serious about providing the best dining experience in town. Italian wine selection top notch and I'm not sure how one could serve fresher, more delightful fare. Jeans and blazer and no ugly stares...just a happy tummy. Worth every penny and then some. The grilled Octopus is a favorite of mine...so tender and fresh, and the homemade boar stuffed pasta is fabulous. One of Houston's best. Valet parking is a must along w reservations.

Nothing beats da marco's delicious authentic Italian dishes. I have been here multiple years , several seasons, never ordered a single dish that disappoint me . From seafood to pasta to steak, all so delicious yet so unique. I have my highest respect to the chef. Thanks for his talented skill, I can have so many good memories in this restaurant.
Only thing I do feel it can be improved is the waiters and dining environment. I really hope they can expand the restaurant. The current setting is very crowded. Also, it looks so crowded because they have a lot of waiters. Sometime you'll see more waiters than dinners. However, they always look so busy and running around. The serving can be rude sometimes. For example, once I order a glass of red wine, the waiter didn't even care to let me get a taste. And he just throw everything on the table and rush to other things. And I don't think everyone understand their menu really well. I rarely hear any recommendation from them. And when they introduce the daily menu, there isn't a lot of passion I can feel. Good thing is they have a strong chef and dishes talk themselves.
