We visited Pub 1105 in October and were very happy with our experience. Since then the menu has been expanded and the food is as excellent as our first visit. The staff is knowledgeable and friendly. The restaurant staff has adjusted to higher volume successfully. We are very happy that Pub 1105 has brought a southern cuisine restaurant to Marco! Highly recommended.

Great appetizers and main entrees. Had the charcuterie, roasted artichokes and a caprese salad. All excellent for the 5 of us. Entrees included Gnocchi, clams and pasta, carbonara, and penne puttanesca. Couple bottles of Silverado Chardonnay. Excellent food and excellent service. Have been there 4x and on Isle of Capri at least a dozen times. Never disappoints.

We are several times here during our Christmas stay. Whether breakfast, lunch, dinner or Christmas dinner it was amazing! 1/2 the time here we decided to just eat here instead of the other restaurants in the island. Must try the Yellow Tail Snapper!
