    My party of three had evening tickets to The Nutcracker ballet so made 6:00 pm reservations for dinner at Birraporetti's. We arrived 20 minutes early so I expected to wait for our table but we were seated right away. Our waitress was amazing and our food was fantastic! One person had pasta with shrimp while the other two EACH ordered the large (appetizer) seafood platter as our entree. Yes, two platters for two people. Everything on the platter - grilled shrimp, crab cakes, and fried calamari was cooked to perfection! Their seafood sauce (like tartar sauce but better!) was delicious as always. Then after the ballet we came back for dessert and coffee. I had the tiramisu, one person had creme brulee, and the third had cheesecake. They were all delicious! Could not recommend this restaurant more!

    I adore Marmo. Always have a lovely experience whether it be for a casual lunch or a nice dinner out. This is my go-to spot to bring guests when they come to Houston. My favorite dishes are the hamachi and the vodka rigatoni- also tried the New York strip last night and it was amazing. Christian was our server last night and he was lovely! There’s so many great restaurants in Houston that I don’t usually frequent any specific spots- Marmo is the exception. I always come back!

    It was reallllly great! We enjoyed every bit of it- service was spectacular, every single employee was on top of it, kind, knowledgeable. Food was incredible. Tableside Caesar salad was amazing. We got the Ribeye and it was delicious especially with a side of Turners sauce. Brussel sprouts were *chefs kiss*! I wasn’t crazy about the Alaskan crab Mac and cheese. But I would definitely get the puréed potatoes next time, a little scoop came with our steak and I wanted more!! The tableside martini cart added such a special touch. My husband and I enjoyed the interactive experience. We will definitely be back!
