Marcoza Trattoria

My wife and I got take out from Marcoza Trattoria on Tuesday, 04-09-2024. We ordered a margherita pizza, fettuccine Bolognese, chicken pesto penne, and some sides.Once my wife and I tried everything, we both had the same reaction: wow. The fettuccine Bolognese ranks among the best that I have ever had; it is comparable to that of the Black Sheep Bistro in Old Town Spring (which has been closed for years). It was amazing. Wow.The chicken pesto penne was also phenomenal and amount the best that I have ever had.The side of spaghetti with Pomodoro sauce was also phenomenal. It was the best that I have had in Houston since the closure of a small restaurant in The Woodlands run by a woman from Milan (and her's was the best I have ever had).In summary, I am very happy to have finally tried Marcoza Trattoria. The food was remarkable. .

The service from Sage was outstanding! Most of the inside seating for larger parties was booth vs table which was less comfortable. The appetizers of meatballs and brussel sprouts were good, as were most of the entrees. I found my osso buco to be bland but I was the only "complainer" of the 6 of us. All in all my view is there are likely better choices for the $.

The place looks elegant inside. Their tables are a bit small however they have some nice booths that are roomy and big. We had a great server that offered a lot of recommendations and those we chose from his suggestions were really good. We also had the lemon cake dessert that was served warm and it's good. This is my second time, and we will come back again.

This is the best Italian meal I've had in a very long time. Reasonable prices with great decor and wonderful service. Rodolfo was an incredible server who really gave us a good experience. I can't wait to come back and try more items on their menu. We started with the Gorgonzola wedge salad- and let me just say it was such a perfectly balanced blend of salty and tangy. The cheese was not overpowering and the dressing was just the right amount. My husband ordered chicken parmigiana and I ordered the chicken Marcoza. Ok yall -Rodolfo recommended I get the chicken with a side of spaghetti with oil garlic and spinach. Wowza!!! What a perfect compliment to the lemony and tangy sauce on the perfectly crisp breaded chicken. My mouth waters just thinking about it. If I could recommend eating it- that's the way to do it. We will be back. This place blows any nice Italian place nearby out of the water! If you don't believe me try it for yourself.

We had the best experience and food here tonight!! Our server Cadan was so nice and knew his stuff. Helped guide us through the menu and pair my wine. All the dishes were amazing!! The octopus carpaccio was something that is a staple to want to come every weekend for!! AMAZING!! Can't wait to come back and try other things on the menu.

Stopped in for lunch, and everything was delicious!I sipped on a wonderful Super Tuscan wine and enjoyed the warm, rosemary kissed bread. My entree was the stunning beef short rib, which was meltingly tender! The potatoes were just crisp, and every bite, including the glossy sauce, was perfectly seasoned.For dessert, I had the warm chocolate bread pudding, which was a decadent delight, with ice cream and rich ganache drizzles.Glad I gave it a try... it's just a few short blocks from my home, so I'll be back!

Had an excellent experience here. Ambience was amazing - lots of wood and leather and marble in just the right combination. Our server Parker was incredible. Highly recommend!

I was saddened when Avanti exited the restaurant scene but find myself pleased with this new contender. Our Mother's Day meal was a hit with all parties and our likes are quite varied. We started off with a charcuterie board with a nice variety of cheese, meats and fruit. I might have added a few more crackers or toast as the servings of the rest were large. No worries. Finger food!I tried the Golden Field as my cocktail. The flavor was pleasant but the taste of vodka came through loud and clear. The old fashioned had an abundance of smoke but could have used a bigger lean into the orange elements. Our waiter, Jake, was new (we were his 3rd table ever) but you couldn't tell as his knowledge of the menu was impressive as was his level of courtesy. Speaking of impressive, the short rib was exquisite, tender and coated in a marvelous rich gravy. The salmon was equally well executed and the chicken parmigiana featured two large pieces of chicken. All in all, this is a winner.

Why 4 stars? Because the service was excellent, but the food was mostly just... fine. --- --- ---If I were purely rating the food, I would definitely just be giving 3-stars. But everyone we interacted with was incredibly nice. Business was pretty slow on a Sunday afternoon, and the staff treated us with a lot of gratitude just for coming in. Running a successful local restaurant is incredibly hard, so I hope the fine residents of the Creekside area show their support for this spot. As for the food, we ordered the Smoked Burrata as an appetizer and it was the best thing we ate. It actually came out in a glass bowl of smoke, which meant we were treated to dinner and a show. Smokey flavor makes everything better. 5 stars.Beyond that, everything just ranged from okay to decent. My wife and I split the chicken parmesan and the carbonara. The carbonara was the better of the two, but it wasn't anything special. I'd probably give 3.5 stars for the carbonara and 2.5 for the chicken parm. We got a cheese pizza for our son and I helped myself to some of it. I think it was better than our two dishes, but a bit greasy. 4 stars.For dessert, we all shared some chocolate bread pudding and tiramisu. The tiramisu had some kind of coffee liqueur flavoring which made it a bit odd. The bread pudding was very chocolatey and I'm not a huge chocolate person, so maybe don't take my word for it. But for me, both were just okay: 3-stars. I'm hoping we just caught them on a weird day because the other reviews were more positive.

My fiancé and I did date night here last night and the service was fantastic. The waiter made some great suggestions on some of the food selections. We started with the salmon crudo which was so good and had so much flavor and then we we had the branzino and gnocchi dishes which were great. Great atmosphere, great food and great staff made this is an incredible date night mid-week.
