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.
Good food and great ambiance. I feel like I struggle to find nice Italian restaurants in the city so this was a pleasant find. Recently went for a late dinner on my birthday and it was a good experience. I really enjoyed the aesthetics both externally and internally. While we were there music began being played on the piano, which I didn't know was something they did beforehand, so that was really nice. Our waiter had me doubtful at a point in time but in the end I really enjoyed their service. We took a while to decide but ordered the Tuscan Fried Chicken antipasto. It was taking forever and when we asked our waiter he said he didn't think we had decided on it and this was after we had ordered our entrees. At that point I figured I wouldn't want it because it would come out with the entrees. But nope! It ended up coming back really quickly and well before our entrees, which allowed us to enjoy it separately. Due to the mix-up and delay he ended up taking it off of our bill which was very generous of him. Upon finding out it was my birthday he also brought out complimentary in champagne. I'm never too proud to inquire about if a place offers a free birthday dessert so even though I don't always do a dessert I asked for the dessert menu. I later asked if they offered a complimentary birthday dessert to which you said yes but since I asked for the menu he wanted to allow me to order if I was going to get something else. But nope give me the free one lol. It was nice seeing a waiter happily taking photos of a group that was sitting nearby. Funny enough we thought to ask for photos after leaving our table and someone else working there happily took photos in multiple locations for us. So my service experience was great. Bread squares with Parmesan cheese are brought to the table. For me personally they were okay but not my favorite. I would have liked if the butter served with them was a little bit more whipped for an smoother spread. I don't remember precisely what cocktails were ordered but they were both pretty good. The Tuscan Fried Chicken with artichoke pieces was pretty good. I wish it had a little bit more umph flavor wise but it was good. I came for Italian food so I had all intentions of ordering a pasta dish for my main entree but after I went by and saw the dry age meat section that they had I knew I was going with a dry-aged steak. I ended up going with the 14 oz New York strip dry-aged 45 days. The steak was good And I went with the Italian Chimichurri sauce for it but wasn't much of a fan of the sauce. My date got the Gulf Red Snapper and requested to not have the head served with it. It was pretty decent and had a strong lemon flavor. I like the flavor profile on it but feel like it could have been a bit more balanced. I came for pasta and pasta I got. I ordered the piccolo Bolognese and it was my second favorite item of the night by far. Really good pasta, really good sauce, I was thoroughly pleased and felt like it was a large portion for the piccolo. The favorite item of the night by far not even close was the Smashed Potatoes. The potatoes themselves were just cooked so amazingly. They had the right amount of crisp outside with softness on the inside. I was not expecting them to wow me as they did. It came with a nice sauce that I believe was cheese based. They were delicious without the sauce but the sauce actually elevated them even more. 10 out of 10. The chocolate cake is the free birthday dessert and while it's not overly delicious and decadent it is a solid chocolate cake with very rich flavor. Marmo is a restaurant that I would readily attend again. Now step aside as I eat 10 more of those smashed potatoes!
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.
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
Great service and good food. I absolutely loved the optional seating, especially in this lovely weather.
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.
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.
***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.
very busy if you're looking to do happy hour on a Friday. had a short wait until we were able to find spot at the bar. staff was kind. everything came out pretty quick.
Reviews are largely positive. People highlight the lively upscale ambiance, attentive and friendly service, and fresh, flavorful pasta. The excellent happy hour is also popular.

Went here twice so far and each experience was great! VERY VERY PRICEY, but everything was delicious. They offer FREE VALET, but they DO NOT VALIDATE GARAGE PARKING. They also have happy hour, which is always a plus for us but they only offer the happy hour menu (sunday - friday/ 3p-6p) in the bar or patio area! the last time we made reservations was right at 5:30p (in between their happy hour); we came 30 minutes early and staff was very accommodating and let us snag a few drinks and snacks at happy hour price in their bar area before we sat down for our meal. They are kid friendly (we had toddlers and a baby in our reservation) and had a high chair available. From their happy hour menu, we were able to enjoy and get a nice buzz with some prosecco (so sweet and tasty) and peroni beer. We were satisfied with all the happy hour snacks we ordered; dozen oysters on the half shell, tuscan fried chicken, polpette, and their Charcuterie & Cheese. The oysters were soo delicious and tasted fresh! It had their calabrian chili mignonette on top and if you squeeze the lemon on top; mmmm, chef's kiss! Polpette was pretty good, but it tasted just like any other meatball in tomato sauce. Tuscan fried chicken was a kid and adult favorite. The sauce it came with kind of reminded me of spicy mayo, but it paired great with the fried chicken and fried artichoke! we probably had about 4 happy hour orders and went back to our table and ordered another round for the kids. We were happy with the charcuterie and cheese board, but it felt like it was just any other charcuterie and cheese board. There was 12 in our party so we were able to order and try a variety of dishes. Calamari- just so you know, its NOT deep fried. I think it was grilled or baked, but either way it was really good. the golden raisins in the dish was a nice, sweet touch and helped balance the flavors very well. Be cautious** for those with nut allergies, it does come with pine nuts ** Rigatoni Alla Vodka- pretty good! I enjoyed their creamy vodka sauce, the pasta was cooked al dente. Squid Ink Campanelle- I've had this dish the first time I was here but our waiter recommended it to us again, saying it was one of their well known dishes. I'm not usually a fan of uni (as nigiri/sushi), but the uni sauce it came in was so delicious. I just wish they offered more lumps of crab meat in the dish. I'm so glad we had it again the second time around, it's so pricey but its worth a try! New york strip- It was offered as 14 oz, and we ordered it medium rare. Shared between my sister and I, it was more than enough for the two of us. The steak was so delicious, cooked perfectly and had so much flavor! It also tasted great dipped in their PORCINI BONE MARROW SAUCE. Porterhouse- It was offered as 42 oz, and we also ordered it medium rare. 4 big dudes from our party shared (and other dishes), and they still had left overs! The porterhouse was also cooked perfectly and had lots of flavor! They also ordered the PORCINI BONE MARROW SAUCE to go with it. If y'all ever come to marmo and get steak, GET THE PORCINI BONE MARROW SAUCE. It's the perfect blend of mushroom-salty-ness! so delicious when its drenched over steak! Smoked Ricotta Gnocchi- My dad had this dish and said it was okay; good but not something he ordered again. Unfortunately I didn't get to taste this dish, so I'll have to take his word on it. Texas Redfish- The fish was just a tad bit over cooked. The sauce (tomato/pesto based) that came under the fish probably saved the dish for me because it was good and full of flavor. Roasted fingerling potatoes- We had ordered this for the kids, but we'll probably pass on this dish next time. Nothing great about it, just tasted just like thick cut potato wedges. Prime Beef Tartare- I'm not really a fan of beef tartare, but my sister ordered it and we enjoyed it! It was really delicious, full of flavor and the little cheese crisps that came on were so good! At our table I had their Sprezzatura and Painted Flower from their cocktail menu. Both were so delicious! They didn't taste too strong, were just a TAD bit sweet but still got my buzz from happy hour going! It was our parents birthdays so they were nice enough to bring flourless chocolate cake. So chocolately and sweet! I wish I had snapped a picture of it. Overall, our bill was not pretty and very pricey, BUT everyone enjoyed the experience and their delicious food! I would definitely come back for the steaks, calamari and cocktail menu! And you can always stop by next door at VL's to get ice cream after, hehehe . read more
The atmosphere of this place is very cute. We enjoyed a family dinner here for my birthday, and service was attentive and fantastic. Annie, our server, was very sweet to my kids and engaged them. I ordered the NY strip, which I shared with my youngest. In hindsight, he would have enjoyed the filet my husband ordered more since it's a leaner cut. But the flavors on both were good. My oldest ordered the lobster ravioli, which we all agreed was the best dish on the table. However, the price seemed a bit high for the amount of food. The sides we ordered were not as memorable as some of the other steakhouses we've been to. For dessert, they brought a chocolate cake of some sort with lemon sorbet and berries, and we devoured it. Overall, a really nice experience. Annie gets 10 stars and the food gets 3.5. read more

We came to Marmo for an 8 person lunch on a Sunday afternoon. The service was quick and their piano man really set the tone for a great lunch. Split five ways we all paid about $140 and it was worth every penny. We also tried several of their cocktails and enjoyed every sip and bite of this meal. I personally ordered the Squid Ink Campenelle and Brussels Sprouts with the Caffe Corretto and really loved it all. They validate your valet service which is always a nice touch. read more
My girlfriends decided to throw me a birthday dinner here. Since it was the new hot spot, reservations were hard to find by. What stood out the most was the cover singer that also played the piano. He was AMAZING! The food was just okay... the dessert was my favorite dish. read more

Yummy Delicious! My sweet 2nd Mom and I celebrate our bdays every year by going to a restaurant of our choice. This year we both wanted the same cuisine and it wasn't Italian. Marmo was a pleasant and sweet diversion since where we wanted to go in first place, misplaced our Rez and then refused to seat us at our time. Lucky for us, Marmo was right in front of our noses. We stepped in and decided this was our new place. We made it to the bar area and explained to our Bar Tender that this was both of our Bday celebrations. The service here was amazing. Manny and his team did an amazing job taking care of us. They pulled out the red carpet for us. We were super impressed. The food is just heaven! I really don't have other words to describe how wonderful and tasty all our dishes were. Just perfecto!! The ambiance was kicking. Lots of great energy with people having such a good time. At the end, we were surprised with our desert platter. So nice and thoughtful. I have to say, we are the lucky ones that night to have stumbled on this amazing restaurant. Thank you Marmo! We will be back soon. Ciao Ciao for now!! read more

The food was amazing. Best squid ink pasta I have ever had. Dayne was our server, he was great. He gave amazing recommendations and was very easy to talk to and had a sense of humor. We will be back for both the food and to see Dayne! Drinks we great as well, my wife had 3 different ones and each one was better then the one before. read more

We went here last night for my husband's birthday. The food was amazing. The ribeye and squid ink pasta were my favorites, but everything ordered was great! My only complain was the service...there was a lot of waiting! Drinks took a very long time and we were done and waiting for our check for 30ish minutes...didn't see our waiter very much. read more

It was AIGHT. I kind of expected more. The vibe is great, a very nice after work or date night spot. A lot of people were Very Dressed Up if that matters to you, but my party was pretty casual. They felt the staff was a little snotty (maybe because we were pretty casual), but I honestly didn't notice. I was too appalled by the teeny cube-sized bread given out with tongs and a crumble of Parmesan cheese. I'm not sure what the point of that was except maybe to drive up the air of exclusivity? Kind of bizarre tbh. And the cubes were hard and not tasty. I ordered the bolognese but I think North Italia has a way better one, so nothing to write home about. My SO got the cowboy ribeye and he said it was good but again, not blown away. The meatball appetizer was the best thing I tried. The crab bruschetta was teeny tiny--one piece of toast cut into four pieces--but it was okay. The best part was the drinks. The Painted Flower was delicious and strong. If I went back, it would be just for drinks. read more

Now that I've been here twice, I can definitively say that this Marmo has been added to my list of favorite Houston restaurants. The steak is the star here! Get anything dry aged on the menu, spread a bulb of roasted garlic on the steak, and thank me later. Their steak is always perfectly cooked and has an incredible crust--harder to find than you'd think. The next star at Marmo: the charcuterie boards. Everything we've had here is so complementary. It is obvious that the boards are thoughtfully curated and carefully thought out by the kitchen and the items are all designed to be eaten together. They have a pickled cauliflower item that they've included on both boards we've had so far and it is the BEST palate cleanser. Get one to start and share with your table, you won't regret it! Their pastas are good, but definitely not the star of the show compared to the steak. Among the three we've tried--squid ink, rigatoni alla vodka, and the lobster ravioli--the lobster ravioli and squid ink stand out the most. Both are very well seasoned, the noodles are cooked well, and the amount of seafood is generous in each. Half portions are available to allow you to try as many dishes as you'd like! Some items that were good, but I wouldn't get again: rigatoni alla vodka was nothing special, although delicious. The blue crab bruschetta was also good, but felt a bit like an overpriced avocado toast. The bread, like some others have mentioned, is extremely crusty--to the point that it feels like you're in a bit of a fight with your food and your mouth may end up with some injuries after. Overall, lovely restaurant and one of my favorite places to go for a fancy date night. There's often live music and the staff is kind and well trained. Beautiful ambiance and great atmosphere--we'll be bringing out of town guests here for sure. TLDR: -Must Order: any dry aged steak, charcuterie board -Excellent, would order again: lobster ravioli, meatballs, squid ink pasta, panna cotta with praline crunch -Good, not great: rigatoni alla vodka, blue crab bruschetta, Caesar salad Also, please consider swapping out your sparkling water selection to something other than Voss. There's not nearly enough carbonation!!! read more

Perfect for those HOT GIRL DINNERS Got a little drunk and ordered the White Truffle Pasta which I definitely could not afford lol ($95) That being said, it was heaven in every bite. Prob the best pasta of my life. Perhaps not worth the price but hey...eating truffle is an experience. The vibe of this place is elegant yet young, spicy, and modern. The clientele here are are dressed up and look amazing! Get out your best blazer or stilettos for this one. Be prepared to spend your money here. Amazing pasta and wine selection. Free valet for first three hours. read more

Went tonight to celebrate my friends engagement and had such a great time! We tried the burrata, blue crab bruschetta, and of course the charcuterie with formaggio. The blue crab bruschetta was the best appetizer in my opinion. For mains we ordered the risotto, gnocchi, lobster ravioli, New York strip, and chefs special. Each dish was worth clearing the plate. We paired our pasta with wine and Asa had the perfect recommendation for what would compliment my dish. We finished dinner with the tiramisu and a sweet dessert wine. From the complimentary valet (on Wednesday evening) to the live music and attentive staff, this place was worth every penny. Only 2 downsides; when I went to use the bathroom there was a line & valet could not drive a manual. Overall neither was worth knocking a star in my opinion read more

The food is great as always tried the rigatoni and it was great pasta was perfectly al dente. The panna cotta surprised me it had a herby hint which was a good twist. Both steaks were overcooked but our server brought out a correctly cooked one for us and it was amazing. Espresso martini was on point as always. Tried the tuscan fried chicken was very moist. Feel like the dipping sauce needed more flavor. Ambiance was great live music is always a plus. read more
I had a great date night the wife was a little unsure. We loved the starters and cocktails. Then each had a half order of pasta that was amazing. Finally we split a steak. Super stuffed didn't make it to desert. But we did enjoy the drinks and coffee. Unfortunately the staff is a little green. Our server seemed very unsure about all of my questions and had to keep asking the chef. Unfortunately our server didn't know how to properly bus a table dropping silverware on my freighted wife's feet. Moments earlier our server who is a big "hand" talker had knocked over our water spilling it all over my wife. Only saw a manager on the way out he looked overwhelmed at the hostess station. Food was great but at those prices I can be treated mediocre for less. read more

Marmo is perfect for a cute night out with friends or date night. Please do yourself a favor and order the squid ink campanelle pasta. This pasta is unique and SO flavorful. I am also happy to report that do not hold back on the crab either.

They had live music as well. read more

The service, food and entertainment were great! I went late Friday night and there was a pianist playing current and older songs. For appetizers we had the friend chicken and meatballs. Not a huge fan of meatballs but these were delicious! My pasta was AMAZING! I got a side of Brussels sprouts and was pleasantly surprised. I'd never pair apples with brussel sprouts but it worked! The only reason they received 4 stars (Which honestly should be a 4.5) was because of the tiramisu! They missed the mark on this one. The filling was way too tough. Not creamy or light enough. I was very disappointed, but They tried. read more

I'm really not a Italian food kinda person but wanted a Caesar salad and pasta so here we are. This place was perfect for our date night. The service was great! And the food was amazing. For our appetizer we had the calamari and OMG it is was the best calamari we had ever tried. Yes I got the Caesar salad which was as shareable and the best. I had the rigatoni and husband had the spaghetti. We were both very happy with our choices but next time I will definitely try the lobster ravioli. read more

Pretty place with big outdoor patio and piano wine bar on the inside. Valet is free but they do not validate parking garage Pluses -gorgeous atmosphere - place to be seen and gawk Areas to improve -service was less than stellar, the waiter had food on his collar and his recommendations were not helpful. He recommended the cheapest wines by the glass and they were terrible. My Prosecco was flat and he admitted he may have given me a glass of white wine instead . When we asked for alternatives, he recommended the priciest and we just opted to choose our own. Service was also super slow on a Friday lunch and there were no other patrons outside -oysters were nice and juicy but the mignonettes was a huge disappointment, the capers and crushed tomatoes did not suit my palate - calamari were stewed with tomatoes and very tangey, just overwhelmed the fresh seafood -bolognese pasta was al dente and great but the sauce was too salty -my squid ink had a great texture and the bread crumbs were crunchy and there were big chunks of crab which was very nice, the sauce once again was very salty -bathrooms are each separate and very dark Overall, underwhelming. It's probably a 2.5 star and bumped up by 1/2 star because it's a pretty place. Very expensive too. Maybe happy hour is a good time to come. The piano man may also sound better after a few drinks. read more

Went here for a late bday dinner, place inside is nice, but it was pretty packed on a Tuesday. It was quite loud with everyone talking. Service was good. The food was delicious but nothing was very memorable. It's pasta and steaks that were cooked to perfection and seasoned well. Desserts were good, but they added the very earthy grassy edible flower that threw off the pan a cotta, made it pretty, but too much grass taste. They have a live piano singer. They have a great wine selection and their cocktail Corleone was made perfectly. read more

My new favorite restaurant by far! Came here for my birthday TWICE within 2 weeks. Everyone loved the squid ink pasta. The bruschetta blue crab was amazing (second time I got it the bread was completely burnt at the bottom). I always appreciate bread service! Our server both times were fantastic. The pianist was delightful including the ambiance. The wait staff was quick to organize the next coursing. Will be returning back soon! read more
I have been wanting to try Marmo for the longest time and it was amazing! The drinks were quite expensive, I honestly didn't think they were worth the price. The charcuterie board was delicious and had a variety of veggies, meat and cheese. They even brought out extra crostini. There was bread and cheese which came out before the meal and it was so fluffy. The squid ink campanelle had an uni cream sauce with crab which was so unique and flavorful. The mushroom risotto was so creamy and delicious. I might try coming during happy hour next time since it's a bit pricey but it was amazing! read more
