Da Marco Restaurant Review:
About the restaurant: Chef Marco Wiles, born in Italy and raised in the U.S., learned cooking from his aunt during summers spent in northeastern Italy. After he earned his chef stripes in some of Houston’s most celebrated restaurants, he opened his own sunny trattoria in an old house with blonde hardwood floors and a fireplace. Cozy and romantic, it’s a dining spot of choice for well-heeled Houstonians.
Food & Drinks: Start off with Sicilian scampi with orange honey salad or pappardelle with wild boar and Pecorino Toscano. The black truffle risotto (in season) is a smart choice. Secondi can range from a 48-ounce porterhouse for two to calf’s liver with polenta or Colorado lamb chops with a hint of cumin yogurt. There are hundreds of Italian and French wines to pair with your meal and chocolate cake with nocciola mousse, caramelized bananas and banana gelato to finish.
