Osteria Marco - Denver

Server was fantastic. Food was below my expectation for the price-point.

It was a Monday night birthday celebration. I understand restaurants aren't always at their top on a Monday. However, I ordered the fresh pasta with mushrooms truffle oil. The truffle oil was not as present as it normally is. The pasta was not fresh. It was rotini and tasted like pasta I buy at the grocery store. My husband's mushroom pizza with truffle oil was the same. They were out of the chili oil they usually serve with pizza. (Food service strike? An explanation would've been helpful, since making chili oil seems fairly basic. Normally, we see a night at Osteria Marco as a treat. This night was a disappointment I could've made a better pasta dish for significantly less than the $27 I paid. I wish the waiter had told me they didn't have fresh pasta and I would've ordered something else. Very disappointing as this is our birthday celebration spot. May have to change that in the future. The bread pudding and chocolate desserts were amazing! Our waiter was kind and attentive.

Went to Osteria Marco for my friend's birthday and they sat at the smallest table possible. I made my reservations almost a month ago, I thought we wouldn't sit on people, but I don't think so. Food was okay, pizza was cooked and disintegrated. Overall not impressed.

Great ambiance. The burrata is fantastic. My daughter loved the lavender/rose sparking water.

I ordered the lamb meatballs and they did not taste like lamb, they were very spicy. My husband order the NY steak and that was good. Service was great and the place was good!
