    The food at Da Marco is without a doubt world class. Last night I dined on their Arugula salad for starters prepared to perfection with just the right amount if Parmesan and oil and vinegar.

    Sure this spot's on the expensive end, but it's a Houston classic from the owners of Dolce Vita and Vinoteca Poscol. Order the artichoke alla giudea and the osso buco. [Eater 38 Member]

    Great Italian food! Try the langoustine, chianti braised short ribs, white truffle pasta (seasonal) and the sweet corn ravioli with lobster. AMAZING. Great ambiance.

    Impeccable service. The tagliolini with black truffles is sublime! The grilled octopus is so tender and flavorful.. perfectly-charred on the outside.

    The "business lunch" 3-course prix fixe is a great deal. Only $29 (at time of writing).

    Savory cuisine complimented by an exquisite wine list makes for a rich and delicious experience. Trouble deciding which entre to order? Try the tuna carpaccio!
