Charming

Chef-driven, artisan Italian nestled in the heart of iconic Larimer Square. Osteria Marco is fine dining quality in a casual setting. We believe in craftsmanship and artistry—pizzas hand tossed to order, pasta hand rolled daily, cheese (like our famous burrata) and salumi crafted on site. Bartenders muddle and infuse; wines evolve to reflect the variety of the Italian countryside and climate. Descend the grand staircase, hunker down and, really... try the burrata. Don't forget to join us for Drag Bingo Brunch every Sunday alongside bottomless mimosas and a scratch Italian brunch!

We recently celebrated our wedding anniversary and a birthday at Osteria Marco, and the experience was absolutely unforgettable. Our server, Bex, went above and beyond to make our night special. She was incredibly attentive, warm, and made us feel truly valued. The food was outstanding—every dish was delicious—and the drinks were crafted to perfection. The atmosphere was inviting and added to the joy of the evening. We couldn’t have asked for a better place or team to celebrate such a meaningful night. Thank you, Osteria Marco, for making our celebration so memorable!

Food was good but overall on the more expensive side. Our server was loud and kind of annoying…she kept saying she was going to comp items (desert/drinks) but in fact did not. Not an honest way to get your tables to order more items. She would also stop in the middle of us ordering to run over to another table to chat with them.. was very chaotic.

I’ll never go back to Osteria Marco. The mandatory 22% “service fee” they charge is outrageous. The owner of the restaurant should be paying the salaries of their staff not the customer. A tip, then, should be something the customer decides to give the server based on the quality of service. Not only were our meals expensive for what we got, the owners are now getting fatter by having us pay their other bills. There are plenty of restaurants that have not bought into this greedy practice that we can patronize.

A very good spot for quality Italian food. Lots of good basics and some nice variations of basic Italian favorites. You won’t be disappointed.

Food was fine but not full of flavor, they added a 23 pct tip to the table, which some did not like.

Food is overpriced and not great. There was almost no carbonara in the pasta carbonara and it is pretty tasteless. The house made burrata has a nice texture but again pretty tasteless. The only decent dish is the scallops. $39 for 3 scallops over risotto. Fine dinning prices without the service, quality or ambiance to match.

This has been a favorite place for a very long time. The burrata is a must have. The pizza was not very good. The prosciutto arugula pizza was doused with lemon that seeped into the crust creating a salty citric pie- terrible. The salads which can be pricey are mostly greens with little of anything else - disappointing. The server, who was attentive was continually pushing us to order more food which became uncomfortable free the third ask. I used to love this place, it is now just ok. For the price point, Denver has better options.
