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!

Steuben’s is named after a restaurant in Boston that my Great Uncles, Max and Joe, opened in 1945. Steuben's became a famous Boston restaurant, nightclub, and hotspot from the 1940’s to the 1960’s on Boylston Street. The Vienna Room, The Cave, and The Blue Room were all part of the Steuben's space and hosted Big Band, Jazz, and Swing groups with The Rat Pack, proms and sweet sixteens, and more. In its prime, Steuben’s was the center of the Boston dining and nightlife scene.

    We had the Prix Fixe menu on Valentine’s Day and I was surprised how well executed it was. The handmade gnocchi stood out as outstanding, though the sauce was a little underwhelming. The lamb was cooked perfectly with great flavor. The other dishes were all great and they kept a comfortable pace without feeling rushed on an extremely busy night.

    Very delicious food and very nice ambiance! Felt the price for the quality of food was definitely fair. We got the Gnocchi, Tempura Mushrooms, Pork Collar, Sweet Potato, Carrots and Candy Bar! All delicious. Would come back and get all of these dishes again aside from the tempura mushrooms. They were good, but just a bit heavy and overly fried.

    We came here to celebrate pour son's 18th birthday. Direct, I have to say that my husband and I have been here three times in the last two months (twice this last two weeks). Every staff member has been amazing. They are all super attentive, friendly, and very knowledgable (and honest) about items on the menu. Last week, we went to celebrate our wedding anniversary and the manager comped our cocktails. Last night for our son's 18th birthday, they helped celebrate by sending over a chocolate cake with a huge sparkler. The happy hour is incredible. so many choices and all items are either $3, $6, or $9 with the cocktails on the HH menu being $12. Our server, Eric was awesome. At the end of the evening, we were greeted by one of the managers who was lovely. She thanked us for our visits and spent a few minutes with us congratulating us on our anniversary and our son's birthday. The ambiance was, I would say, lively, but not too noisy. Everyone just seemed to be having a good time. I would recommend SWS for your every day dining experience, or to celebrate a special occasion - you won't regret it! They even have a private room for a larger party. Thanks for making our son's 18th so special guys!!!!

    Food is delicious! Perfect for a large group. We went on a Tuesday and there was only 1 server. She wasn't very personable and didn't approach the table frequent enough but her service was mostly timely.
