Chef-driven, artisan Italian nestled in the heart of iconic Larimer Square. Osteria Marco is fine dining quality in a casual setting. We believe in craftsmanship and artistry—pizzas hand tossed to order, pasta hand rolled daily, cheese (like our famous burrata) and salumi crafted on site. Bartenders muddle and infuse; wines evolve to reflect the variety of the Italian countryside and climate. Descend the grand staircase, hunker down and, really... try the burrata. Don't forget to join us for Drag Bingo Brunch every Sunday alongside bottomless mimosas and a scratch Italian brunch!

    What a lovely trattoria. Great service from maitre’ d Seth, my server Alane and her support team. The food was excellent, gnocchi and polenta stole my heart as well as the authentic and mouthwatering puntarelle insalata. Approachable in all areas for the casual diner to the elegant wine savant. 10/10.

    My family has dined at this location 3-4 times/month for the past couple of years. Food is always outstanding! If I had to grasp for something to complain about, parking can occasionally be a challenge, but that’s to be expected in any popular area. North has fabulous food with a casual and enjoyable atmosphere at a reasonable price.

    We live out of state and wanted to take my mom out to a great dinner while we were in Denver. We went there with high expectations based on the reviews and my wife being from northern Italy and we were pleasantly surprised by the quality of service and food. Our tajarin con conigelio was one if the highlights of the evening.

    This was our second time to dine here. Love the ambience. The food in general was not as good this time as it was when we dined here last year.
