The Old Marco Pub & Restaurant Reviews | Marco Island Restaurants & Bars

0

We went here based on the reviews on Yelp but found it to be pricey and not worthy of the 4 star average it carries. To start the decor of the restaurant is straight out of the 70s complete with wood paneling, plastic flowers and poor lighting. The placed looked like it has not had a thorough scrubbing in some time particularly the AC vents which were caked with dust. They share the space with a Pub (same owner) divided by a single wall. While I enjoy Aerosmith and AC/DC I do not necessarily want that music coming from the jukebox next door especially when I am having dinner. If you are going to have both businesses make sure the music doesn't start until after dinner (say 8 or 9 PM). My wife and I stuck with the fish and the entree was good but not spectacular. A small green salad drenched in salad dressing and a pasta (ziti) side dish completed the order. Prices range from $18 (salmon special) to $28 for the stuffed grouper. Definitely on the high side for the island. Better options include Snook Inn where the salad bar is more varied and plentiful as well as Arturo's if you are looking for Italian. In short, you will get a decent entree and good service here, I just feel that for the money you can do a better.

Old Marco Pub was a surprise! It is outstanding Italian food. My husband Â is Italian and grew up in the restaurant business so he knows good food. The best crab cakes I have ever had and the Osso bucco is amazing. This is a restaurant you do not want to miss.

Decent Italian food but nothing special. Good friendly service. Tried the veal rolitini and Oslo bocco not a lot of flavor. Better at DaVinci's, Arturo's and Sale y Pepe.

As we were pulling into the parking lot, there was a woman locking up a Real Estate office next door. Â We asked her how this restaurant was. Â Turned out that she is the owner Susan! Â Of course she gave it a pretty good rating. Â She walked us in and introduced us as her "cousins". Â
It was very good! Â The Rack of Lamb was excellent, as we're the other dinners we had. Â Everyone was very nice. Â I think they would have been even if Susan hadn't come in with us. Â Our server, Rich is a local. Â His Mother also works there.
We'll definitely come back!

Amazing, as always. The food was just as good as it was 12 years ago, if not better. Â The food came out quick and HOT!! Â Would totally recommend this great place. Even worth the drive if you are in Naples.
