A Glimpse into Casa di Marco
Signature "Menu"
The Famous Amatriciana di Marco
The dish that's made grown stockbrokers cry. Guanciale imported directly from Marco's trusted butcher in Verona, combined with San Marzano tomatoes and a pecorino Romano that's worth its weight in gold futures.
Tiramisu Ice Cream
Our frozen take on the classic dessert. So good it'll make you forget about your cryptocurrency portfolio. Made with espresso strong enough to keep you awake through your next trading session.
Artisanal Cheeses & Oils from the Homeland
A curated selection that required more negotiation skills than a hostile takeover. Each cheese has a story longer than your last quarterly report, and oils so pure they make extra virgin seem casual.
Mango Sorbet & Sauces
Fresh from our backyard mangoes, transformed into sorbets and sauces that would make any Italian nonna question her loyalty to gelato. A perfect Miami-meets-Verona fusion that actually works.
Whatever Marco Felt Like Cooking Tonight
Menu varies based on our chef's mood, market inspiration, and how many Bloomberg terminals he had to watch that day.
Il Giardino dei Manghi (The Mango Garden)
While Marco couldn't transplant his beloved olive trees from Verona, Miami's mango trees have become a worthy substitute for post-dinner contemplation. Join us in the garden where Italian tradition meets Cuban leisure, as you enjoy your Oliva cigar (Marco's preferred choice - because if you can't have olive trees, at least you can have Oliva cigars). Watch as the mangoes dance in the evening breeze, creating that perfect Miami-Mediterranean atmosphere that somehow makes perfect sense after a few glasses of Amarone.
Reviews
"Watching Marco cook is like watching poetry in motion. Every dish he creates carries our family's legacy and his boundless passion for authentic Italian cuisine. Though I might be biased, I fall in love with his cooking - and him - all over again every evening."

"Marco's Amatriciana made me forget about my crypto losses. Worth every penny I have left."
- Gianni, The Blockchain Gourmet
"I tried to buy the recipe with my hedge fund's money. Marco just laughed and poured more wine."
- Ralph, Wall Street's Hungry Trader
"Better than my nonna's cooking, and I'm actually from Verona. Don't you dare tell her I said that!"
- Maurizio, The Homesick Italian
"I've been to every restaurant in Miami. This isn't one of them, and it's still the best."
- Barbara, Miami Food Critic
"The wine pairings are so perfect, I forgot I was in someone's living room."
- Judy, Sommelier at Large
"Even my state-of-the-art humanoid kitchen robots can't replicate Marco's cooking. They've started requesting transfer papers to his house. I don't blame them."
- Fabio, Robot Kitchen Innovator
