Gulf Red Snapper
Helene S.

Came here to celebrate my friend's birthday during Houston Restaurant Weeks. After a bit of a hiccup, they gave us the menus for Houston Restaurant Weeks. At first, they were not sure if they were honoring it on a Monday even though I called to confirm and also stated that in my Open Table reservation. We both ordered the same meal. Tuscan Fried Chicken and Gulf Red Snapper. Loved the Tuscan Fried Chicken. Chicken served with artichokes, lemon and a side of the most delicious garlic aioli for dipping. This one is also on the Happy Hour menu. Gulf Red Snapper was good. It was advertised as being served with fava beans, leeks, and dried heirloom cherry tomatoes with a lemon-butter fish brodo. I think that they may not have planned for this menu item on the day that we came because it was more like a Gulf Red Snapper topped with chopped veggies in the lemon-butter fish broth. We asked for bread and cheese and refills on our water, but neither happened. They also offered a birthday treat which also never came. I think that they were thrown off by the confusion about the Houston Restaurant Weeks menu. Lucky to find street parking near Postino. Valet and garage parking are also available. A good meal, but a surprised by the confusion regarding the menu and spotty service during the meal.

Hands down one of my favorite happy hours & overall Italian restaurants in Houston. Their happy hour menu is reasonably priced and is a great way to try a small portions of their different entrees. Everything is pretty much under $10. The ambiance of this place is amazing whether you are dining at the bar, inside seating area or outdoors. They even offer a closed off area for private dinners/meetings. They also host a live pianist occasionally which adds to the ambiance. Lastly, the customer service is superior. The servers do a great job of frequently checking in and stopping by for a "last call" before happy hour ends.

Redfish

Attended a birthday dinner for my cousin at Marmo during Houston Restaurant Week and was thoroughly pleased with the entree I selected. When I say the price and portion were one to experience believe me! I chose the redfish entree with the dessert option can't remember what I got but we aren't here for that. The fish was superb!!! My cousins and I were able to enjoy even with some leftover. Couldn't have been more pleased.

I stand by my original review. The food is very middle ground in my opinion. Nothing is particularly bad, but nothing is that amazing either. A solid food experience, but it's more about the atmosphere and service. Great staff and amazing sophisticated fun vibe. I love love love the live piano music! Ps. Parking is mainly valet/paid. Street parking is hard to find at night

In the heart of Montrose area, this beautiful restaurant has an outstanding Italian cuisine. If you come, make sure you make a reservation, they have a Valet that if you come to this restaurant is free. These beautiful western has outdoor seating, bar area, and main dining room, beautifully decorated, elegant, and classy, perfect for those special occasions. We came to celebrate my friend's birthday, and we got wonderful service, our server was attentive and gave us beautiful recommendations for the food. Food 10 out of 10, server service 9 out of 10, Drinks 10 out of 10, host 5 out of 10. Two things I didn't like about this place, they are not allowed you to bring balloons for a birthday celebration, and your party cannot be seated unless half of the party is already here. And they charge you to cut the cake, if you bring your own cake they're gonna charge you about four dollar cake slices I think it's a little too much Other than that, we had a great time

PARKING: It's cheaper to use valet than to park in the garage. If you use the public parking garage, you are charged the duration of your stay. If you valet, it's complimentary (just tip). Also, if you have a large vehicle, it's harder to find a spot in the public garage because the spaces are tiny. Service is great. Everyone is friendly from start to finish. On the last two occasions during a holiday (i.e., Mother's Day) someone came around with complimentary cookies or bread/cheese. Atmosphere is pleasant. We went during an occasion, such as Mother's Day, and they had live piano music in the back which was nice. Plenty of windows for natural sunlight where we sat. The menu is interesting the first time but unfortunately felt dull the second time around. It'll be great to see more seasonal items new things on the menu. Overall though, the food is good - I recommend trying.

BRUSCHETTA with prosciutto removed. I'm Pescatarian

My first visit to Marmo during Houston Restaurant Weeks was exceptional. The restaurant's warm, energetic atmosphere--filled with families and even a bridal party--set the tone for a memorable evening. Our appetizers, the bruschetta and the chicken and beet salad, were beautifully prepared. The Gulf red snapper entrée was outstanding: fresh, delicate, and served in a creamy broth accented with sun‑dried tomatoes. Dessert was equally impressive, with both the carrot cake and tiramisu offering a perfect finish. With excellent service and thoughtfully crafted dishes, Marmo has earned a spot on my list of places to return to.

Great happy hour location any day, they only seat in the covered patio or bar area so it is limited. The service and dining experience was great, informative and friendly server. The food came out fairly fast, we did however have an issue with the lamb chops, they were overly cooked and we requested for medium. The server gladly had our dish replaced, and it was much better. Very tender and juicy! The other happy hour items were as to be expected, just sub par. The highlight was the meat balls and the beet carpaccio, they were delicious and tasty. Definitely a unique dish!

This place used to be really really good, but I find it pretty underwhelming now. Not a huge fan of the dishes I've tried there these days like the gnocchi and the steak. Steak was kind of overstated, and the gnocchi felt kind of sticky with little flavor profile. The service is kind of slow, but the waiters have always been really nice. The ambiance is what really saves this place because it's in a really nice area, and I love how it feels inside. I know people like the happy hour, but I don't know it felt pretty underwhelming to me.

White fish rillettes

***Beets Capaccio A very Innovative way to eat a salad. Underneath the delicate layer of beets is actually a green salad mixed tossed with chunks of golden beets! The dressing was of a light vinaigrette. The toasted walnuts added a nice crunch and much appreciated rich texture to the salad. *** Tuscan Fried Chicken Kind of a let down, disappointment. The newspaper decorative element was interesting but the chicken itself felt very underwhelming. Too thick of batter. Serving size was not favorable. ***Lamb chop Initially the lamb was well done. I had to send it back for it to be cooked to medium ring. Flavor-wise was excellent. Although I would not order a chop of this size again. This is mainly just for taste testing. ***Polpette Classic two meatballs with a slice of bread. Nothing remarkable at all. ***Veal Bolognese Honestly couldn't tell the difference if this was ground beef had the menu not set otherwise. But there was very little bits of meat mixed with the pasta. ***White Fish Rillettes Very much reminded me of eating canned tuna with toasted lays. The only thing that elevated this dish was the caviar and even then, it wasn't that amazing. Flavor was kind of lackluster, felt like it came from a can. ***Raw Oysters This was arguably my favorite item off the menu for this instance. That was yours tasted very fresh and the cocktail sauce appears to be made in house and has a nice citrus undertone that pairs really well with the raw oysters. Overall I probably won't return unless they're menu changes. I think the vibe was elevated in the plating was also elevated. But the food just did not seem to bring home the same sentiment. Service and staff was really nice. Our server quickly rectified the situation with the lamb chops being overly cooked.

Been here a couple times and finally writing a review. Will continue to come back! Great service, great food my favorite pasta is the Rigatoni à la vodka. Marmo has one of the best happy hour menu's!! Happy hour 3-6pm Single serving pastas starting at $5! Great environment with indoor and big outdoor seating available, very classy and clean. What I ordered: Blue crab bruschetta Tuscan fried chicken Veal Bolognese Rigatoni à la Vodka Cacio e Pepe (only offered on happy hour) Chicken Parmesan Dirty martini Wine

As soon as I walked in I felt welcomed and I could tell the service would be top tier. I went here to try their Houston restaurant week and it did not disappoint. The steak was juicy and had a rich buttery flavor with a perfect balance of salt. The atmosphere was nice. It's a bit upscale and more elevated than a casual place. There was no dress code. I did park in the garage which costed about $5. Valet around there is $10.

SQUID INK CAMPANELLE
Kathy D.

I made a reservation at Marmo for a party of seven at 8:45 PM, but we weren't seated until 8:59 PM. Not a big deal on its own, but the experience went downhill from there. We ordered everything at once, and our server mentioned bread would come with a mascarpone spread. The bread arrived, but the spread never did. The wait for food was very long--by 9:37 PM, we still hadn't received appetizers. When the food finally came, everything (apps and entrées) arrived at the same time. There were also several order issues. My friend ordered a piccolo squid ink pasta but was given a larger (and more expensive) grande. I ordered my steak medium, but it came out rare. When I asked, the server initially insisted I ordered medium rare in a rude tone, then later admitted I was right and took it back. It came back overcooked and burnt--unacceptable for an $88 steak. The rest of the food didn't make up for it. My pasta was overcooked and falling apart, and the sides were room temperature and overly salty. To top it off, there was a "facilities fee" added to the bill that was never disclosed anywhere, which felt misleading. The ambiance was nice, but it was so loud. Overall, between the long wait, poor service, incorrect orders, and disappointing food, the experience was not worth it. I wouldn't return.

Everyone is incredibly friendly and attentive--from the hostess to the servers to the bartenders--which makes the entire experience feel special every time. The food is delicious, the cocktails never disappoint, and the late-night hookah service is such a fun added bonus.

Unfortunately, what happened while we were waiting for valet completely changed how I feel about this place and is the reason I will not return. While we were waiting for my car to be brought around, my friend and I were outside talking and leaning against her Bentley SUV. A security guard came outside and, in front of everyone waiting for valet as well as people dining outside, loudly told us that we needed to get off the vehicle because we were leaning on someone else's car. I immediately explained to him that it was my friend's car. Instead of simply acknowledging the misunderstanding and moving on, he responded that "it happens all the time" and continued going back and forth with me. I again explained that this was HER vehicle and that we were obviously not going to randomly lean against a stranger's car. What bothered me most was the assumption in the first place and the way the situation was handled publicly. We were two Black women standing beside an expensive vehicle, and I cannot say what motivated his assumption, but I absolutely walked away questioning why he was so confident that the vehicle could not possibly belong to one of us. There was no initial question such as, "Is this your vehicle?" Instead, we were publicly approached as though it had already been decided that it wasn't ours. That was embarrassing, unnecessary, and incredibly uncomfortable. Mistakes happen. Had he simply said, "My apologies, I didn't realize it was your vehicle," that probably would have been the end of it. Instead, he chose to argue and justify the assumption after being told that the car belonged to my friend, which made an already uncomfortable situation significantly worse. People should not have to prove that they belong somewhere, that they own what they own, or that they can afford something simply because of how they look, their gender, or someone else's preconceived idea of who "looks like" they should own a certain vehicle. It is unfortunate because we genuinely enjoyed the dinner, the food, and the atmosphere inside. But customer service does not end when someone walks out the restaurant door. The valet and security experience is still part of the overall experience, and this one left such a negative impression that I will not return to this location. I hope management addresses this with their security and valet teams. A simple question before making an assumption, and basic respect after realizing that assumption was wrong, would have made all the difference.

Our party of 5 had dinner here last Saturday night to celebrate and order from the Houston…read moreRestaurant Weeks menu. Giorgio's is one of two restaurants located in the beautiful Hotel Granduca across from Uptown Park. This is a very nice and upscale property with both valet and self parking available. When I made the reservation I initially chose inside dining but after arriving we decided to take advantage of their offer to sit outside to take advantage of their lovely patio by the pool and the very pleasant outdoor temperature that evening after a nice rain. We were seated near the door where the pianist was playing nice music inside that allowed us to enjoy it. Giorgio's HRW 3 course dinner this year was $39 and I ordered the Burrata Panzanella Salad as my first course followed by Cavatelli Bolognese for the second finishing with the Flourless Chocolate Cake for the third. While waiting we were brought some bread along with trays of peanuts, potato chips and popcorn which was a little unusual but no one complained about free food. I must say that all of my 3 courses were excellent tasting. The Burrata salad had a large serving of the above named cheese with fresh tomatoes, olives and ciabatta bread that was cool in temperature and I could have eaten another serving because it was so good. The pasta bolognese was equally delicious except warm in temperature with the Akaushi beef making a delicious bolognese sauce over the cavatelli. Finally the cake was fresh and full of chocolate flavor with berries and Nutella alongside a scoop of rich vanilla ice cream. This was a perfect finish for what was a fine meal. The outdoor setting was also perfect and one that I wouldn't hesitate to repeat. So why do I only give 4 stars? For some reason not understood by anyone in our party was the fact that this entire experience took us 3 hours from being seated to paying the checks for our 3 course dinners. They didn't appear to be too busy that night so I'm not sure why it took so long. Our group did enjoy our time together and filled it with good conversation but still this dinner should have taken at least 1 hour less. Talking about a slow relaxed pace for dinner....this was a little too slow. I would still be happy to return.

It was a bit disappointing, but it was my fault I should've actually confirmed that they still have…read morea bunch of spread instead of à la carte menu items.
