Marco's Fine Italian Dining

Marco's has three locations, but Hertel Ave about fifteen minutes away is their closest location. Fortunately, do they deliver as well as have eat-in and take out. Delivery is always a big deal around here at work once someone finds a place that does so, especially once summer ends and if they are outside of the downtown district.

Marco’s did want a $15 minimum order, which would be like two sandwiches. They also guaranteed delivery by noon. Marco's also has a $5.00 delivery charge. The cost of each item ranges from $6.99 to $8.99. With tax, delivery, and tip and everything, it adds up to be one expensive sandwich without any sides or extras… say goodbye to a ten dollar bill on delivery. The expectations of the size, portion, quality, and even neatness are high. Ten people were in on the luncheon today and most ordered one of the “sangwiches” named with creative movie Italian nicknames. We called the afternoon before to place our order. They also have a fax.

The owner Nick gave us his personal recommendation, and Mama Mia was it, which is turkey, bacon, cheddar cheese, and chipotle mayo. All the sandwiches are freshly made. No fries on the menu means there is not a deep fryer probably for them to use. The single word 'fried' does not appear once on their menu. Soup of the day is on their menu except they didn't have soup today. They also don't offer half subs/sandwiches.

We had plenty of mixed results with our food. The delivery came on time, the names were on the orders, and they had no mistakes. All three things we look for with delivery. The sandwiches weren't quite sandwiches though... they were more like submarines. They had a sub appearance and style measuring about eight inches long. One person ordered a salad which was okay and had a lot in it. The sandwiches also had a lot in them, but it wasn't at first site. We heard on some of the sandwiches the meat was tough and fatty and that they had to pull it out. Some were soggy also. The roast beef in the sub was so thick that at first bite it was almost like steak.

Everyone finished their "subs" and thought they were "good” in the end. The food definitely had plenty of flavors and each one had a unique sauce like a garlic mayo which added a great taste. At ten dollars, it may be worth to some.

Final Rating: 3.5 out of 5
