Marco's New York Italian Brentwood in Brentwood

Lovely setting.stylish.loved the service and outdoor view.great menu.

Great stuff, nice restaurant but the quality of the steaks is not what you expect.The meat was cooked properly but the only thing I can say about the taste, is that I had better meal deals....

Sat here and ate as part of a large group. Expectations were high until we realised this place was just an add on to the holiday Inn where we had just been drinking. Food came out on time and was edible but not enjoyable, the portions where tiny and we were left eating haribo to satisfy our hunger after the measly portions. Stale bread, pizzas that resembled wall paper in taste and texture (yes I've eaten wall paper). I've seen more chips on the floor of a kebab shop at midnight then we got in our serving. Very poor indeed.I ate the food because,well I'd paid for it and we were very hungry. If you want more flavour just buy a sainsburys meal deal or eat the wallpaper in the restaurant.

Stayed at the holiday in and this is the only restaurant.Found staff very friendly happy to help, and really enjoyed the food.I had calzone 1 night with a beer with new york fries and the second night pasta and bolognese.I asked for no chilli in my calzone and all was fine no issues.Thanks for serviceI always find in strange in london, tip is as 10% tip auto applied.You can ask for taken off but its only a couple £ on a single meal.But should be asked or at least not expected only down side( discretionary service charge)But i guess its all london the same

You have to pay for parking outside! Food average. Starters were limited in choice and not well cooked. Good choice of mains. Steak was overpriced and again poorly executed. Staff didn't know if 'toppings' came with the steak or were at extra cost (the latter actually) but said sauces were extra. Service was polite and friendly, but clearly not well informed. Margarita Pizza was boring and flavorless, and crust was soggy. Avoid. Not worth the money or the cost for parking.

I visited this restaurant approx 1 year ago and had a very good experience which I reviewed in a complimentary way but unfortunately a year later and on this visit I was very disappointed…and feel the quality and standards have slipped… having booked this occasion in the strength of an offer on the website i.e Friday Night Steak Night, I booked a table for two for a friends birthday, looking forward to a good steak meal + drink at a very reasonable price which suited my pocket . However when we arrived we were given the main menu and when I asked for the ‘offer’ menu, I was told by a helpful waitress and then the unhelpful manager that they don’t have that offer or the others on the website. I was disappointed to say the least and as I had brought a friend for a meal, I decided to stay rather than looking for somewhere else to dine. The food we eventually ordered was good but I’m unhappy with the misrepresentation. If offers are no longer available, they should be taken off the website immediately. I have been to many of Marco’s more prestigious restaurants and that’s what they are for many reasons. This one isn’t and with the poor attitude towards keeping customers happy when the restaurant hasn’t delivered, it never will be. I like to help the local economy but will think twice about booking again as this was a let down.

Really disappointed with first visit to Marco's.Had milanese linguine. Soggy pasta oin tasteless tomato sauce with overcooked chicken in breadcrumbs. Paid extra for cuabatta at over three quid and was like a burnt slice of bread.Didn't like the mandatory application of optional 10% service charge which was simply added without asking. Overpriced. Paid £5.61 for pint after they added service charge.Rubbish hyped cheap food poorly cooked

I am having the pleasure of staying in the Holiday Inn hotel for a few weeks in a row now and I am very pleased with the breakfast and dining services this restaurant offers to the guests of the hotel. Its a very nice restaurant with a snug and warm ambience. Nice team of very friendly and helpful people that are always at your service. Keep up the good work ladies and gentlemen. And i will surely return more often.

We regularly stay at the Holiday Inn here in Brentwood, and always eat at MP’s restaurant. We love the food, great value, and we love the atmosphere thanks to the staff who are always welcoming and friendly - nothing is too much effort. A big thank you to Titania and the team for looking after us.

Really good restaurant that serves good quality dishes at a reasonable price.Had dinner here for 3 nights in a row during a business trip. The menu can easily give you a varied dinner for a longer stay and does so without compromising on quality.
