"Our French group of 7 visited Trattoria Fresco before a Ross Valley Players' performance at Marin Art & Garden Center. We were all delighted with our dinner choices. And we loved the fact that the restaurant is quiet enough so you can talk in a normal voice and hear what your dining companions are saying! Everything was terrific, and Marco is amazing (how does he look after so many people at once?). We will definitely be back, as a group and individually, with other friends. Thanks for being part of our "enchanted" evening."

"We have been to this restaurant before. Usually it is pretty quiet. This night was busy and unfortunately the owner is the waiter, busboy, cook and dishwasher...."

"Has noted by other reviewers, the place is quite busy/hectic due to the small mom and pop feel of the place. The staff does work hard and the food quality makes up for any issues. Great food, just expect to sit down and enjoy the evening after all this isn't fast food!"

"Our meal was delicious!! Fantastic ravioli with lobster...almost licked the plate. We shared the food and everything we had was excellent. Our waitress also made a good suggestion for the wine to go with our meal."

"I took my girlfriend here for Valentine's Day, as I had heard that it was a good spot for romantic meal. The space is not conducive to romance, and the service was the awful - salad plates were not cleared before entrees arrived, water & wine glasses were never refilled, we had to ask for utensils to eat dinner, and we had to ask for dessert and coffee after looking at our empty plates for 15 minutes!
That being said... the food was amazing. I had a parchment paper cooked halibut that moist and flavorful. She ordered a risotto that had amazing flavor and great texture. After we convinced the server to let us order dessert, that was great, too!
With proper training for the servers, this place can be #1 in Marin!"

"Marco has a gem of a neighborhood restaurant. We've been coming for 12 years and it is so consistent. It is a small intimate space and you can actually talk with your friends across the table and hear yourselves! The portions are small, which I happen to appreciate, and the price a tad high for the quantity as compared to other Italian local restaurants. But we love how fresh everything is!"

"My wife and I were in visiting our kids who live in the area. My daughter had recommended we go and found it to be as close to Italy without being there. How the owner runs a one man shop every nite is beyond me. Lamb was superb, pasta al dente with perfect portion size. We look forward to going back."
