We visited Marcus on a Friday night during a heatwave and were instantly impressed. The restaurant was cool and comfortable, setting the tone for a perfect evening. The food was absolutely outstanding. We started with the fried cuttlefish and the beef carpaccio. Both were excellent but the cuttlefish was the real standout. It was unbelievably tender and flavourful and easily the best we have ever had. For mains we chose the swordfish and the seafood linguine. The swordfish in particular was next level. It was soft, delicate and cooked to perfection. Every bite was a dream. And dessert. The torte della nonna brought my Italian boyfriend to actual tears. It was that authentic and that good. The service was warm and welcoming and made us feel right at home. We loved the fresh small menu that was cooked in front of you in the open kitchen. We were already planning our return visit before we had even finished dessert. A fantastic local gem. We cannot wait to go back.
"Authentic Italian food that keeps you coming back for more. This charming little restaurant is simple yet cozy, with a warm atmosphere that makes you feel right at home. Most importantly, the food is absolutely delicious and the service is impeccable. I’ve visited three times before writing this review, and each time I’ve left not only with a full stomach but with a happy heart. I highly recommend the seafood linguine and seafood risotto—both packed with flavour—as well as a refreshing Birra Moretti to complete the experience."
One of the best Italian restaurants I've been to in London. Food was amazing with rich flavours and the staff were brilliant. Incredible atmosphere that made it feel as though we were in Italy!
We visited this Italian restaurant to celebrate my girlfriend’s graduation and were warmly welcomed from the moment we arrived. The food was excellent — from the appetizers to the pasta dishes — truly some of the best Italian cuisine I’ve had in London. The service was outstanding, attentive without being intrusive. We will definitely be coming back.
We tried this lovely place a few weeks ago - it was superb! Everything from the friendly booking experience to the dessert - absolutely perfect! Davide was a great help and made us feel very welcome. It was a little noisy for my friend, but I felt it had a great atmosphere!! Its small and cosy - and the food and service were fantastic! We will visit again!
Nice little gem in town. We were seated straight away and staff were lovely. Rated a 4 because it’s quite expensive for what it is. Food was good but we paid nearly £50 for 2 mains and 1 drink!
Gosh we love this place so much! Delighted to be able to celebrate our 20th wedding anniversary in such a special place. Warm welcome Delicious and plentiful food Lovely wines. Parties all around us celebrating special occasions- it’s a very special place. Thank you
What a great Italian family restaurant. The biggest attribute is the service with a smile, all the gentlemen who run the restaurant have great personality and make you feel like you are in their home, always talking to each table, cracking jokes and making it great. The food is good portions that are tasty and worth the money. Nice for dinner party's as it small but exclusive. Great restaurant and eat there all the time... great job
