Marco’s Restaurant‘s inherent Italian charm, Durban style and adventurous soul combined with his Italian mother’s wonderful cooking ability, helped create Marco’s Ristornate in 1999.
Having relished Mamma’s delicious authentic Italian cuisine at home, Marco saw this as the perfect opportunity to nature Italian culture by providing a platform for guests to enjoy the ceremony of food and socializing in a fashion that is truly Italian.
He recently published a few recipes on their website which we will feature on FoodBlogDBN. But if you don’t trust your cooking skills or want to rely on Italian expertise, just book a table and head over to Marco’s Restaurant instead.
