Marco's New York Italian Stratford Upon Avon

We had read the reviews and were very pleasantly surprised. The food was very good and the service was excellent. Silvia could not have been more attentive without being intrusive. We had a lovely evening ... good food, wine and family ... a night to remember thank you!

TheMPW brand has been stretched way too far at this site. You could be eating food from any high street brand. Nothing was horrible but equally nothing to celebrate. It’s a bit like Marco went to Iceland and served up a plate of reheated food with not much thought. If Marco,”s has been anywhere near this site he should be ashamed as it doesn’t deserve his name

This is situated in the Mercure Stratford Hotel. The restaurant is closed. The restaurant bar area is now the only bar in the hotel and is soulless. Currently, the outside seating area is unloved and poorly maintained

We reserved our table on a Friday night at 8pm. We expected the restaurant to be busy but there were only two other diners, which is strange as this is a top tourist attraction and considered by many as the jewel in the crown of Warwickshire. The restaurant is boutique style and compact and bijou. The leather dining chairs are extremely comfy and speaking as someone with arthritis these things matter! This is a beautiful building and worthy of a tourist photo or two! Quirky and wonky like you would expect from a typical timber framed Tudor building and so quintessentially olde world English. The restaurant was clean and tidy and the staff very friendly and attentive thank you Silviu and team For giving us great service, good food and making this a night to remember! The food has a typical Italian/American flare: pizza, pasta, lasagne. Typical chain restaurant prices. Nothing extraordinary, but it doesn’t pretend to be! This is not fine dining, or pretentious nosh. This is Good food in a great place and perfect for families and friends to gather for celebrations or cosy intimate dinners. So where are the people? Frightened by Coronavirus? Checking out the many other eateries in Stratford? Or just unaware that this is a charming place to dine; full of character and history with a great ambience and great grub! Who knows.... but I am happy to keep this my little secret My only negative would be to remove the pictures if MPW from the walls and replace with something chic contemporary!

Sadly we were very disappointted with our visit. Staff were disinterested and lacking in any interaction. Food was substandard,boring and over priced. Would have been better trying one of yhe local pubs.
