    This has been one of my favorite restaurants since I was in my early 20s. They have always provided excellent service, fantastic food and a wonderful ambience. It is definitely a staple in the downtown Houston Theatre District.  I would like to thank R.C. for her kindness on the telephone, and her assistance in helping us to make modifications to our reservation. She gave me her full attention, and she didn’t try to rush me, even though I knew the restaurant was very busy. R.C. made sure she answered all of my questions, and was very present in the conversation. Our lovely waitress, Eli, was very attentive, and had such a sweet spirit, and a huge shout out to Mario, who always remembers us every time we come in and makes sure that we are taken care of. He continues to check on us during dinner and he always has such a beautiful light. In addition, I would also like to mention, the decorations for Christmas were absolutely gorgeous and you could tell that the spirit was alive in the restaurant. It is beautiful, no matter what time of year you go and, the Sunday brunch is always amazing. I know that a lot of people like to go to new restaurants but there’s something so wonderful about the restaurants that have stood the test of time. Birraporetti’s is always amazing.

    Always a great experience dining at TC! Service is impeccable from the time you walk in! Sofian was our waiter at my last dining. He is the best! He remember my likings from the last meal and I was appalled that he remembered the intricate details! His suggestions and wine pairings for our meal was stellar ! He checked in on us through the entire meal just to ensure we were satisfied and short of nothing! Please ask for him when you dine there! Service , food ambience is top notched! Definitely my favorite place to dine in Houston! Thanks Sofian, thanks TC for an enjoyable evening! See you all soon again!

    We had a very nice Christmas Day dinner. Very good drinks, the Devil in Disguise and the Repeat Offender. Nice oysters for our appetizer. My wife had the lobster bisque and it was perfect. I had the filet mignon and it was cooked perfectly. We had the tremendous orange soufflé for dessert. A must have. Really amazing. Great night.

    I adore Marmo. Always have a lovely experience whether it be for a casual lunch or a nice dinner out. This is my go-to spot to bring guests when they come to Houston. My favorite dishes are the hamachi and the vodka rigatoni- also tried the New York strip last night and it was amazing. Christian was our server last night and he was lovely! There’s so many great restaurants in Houston that I don’t usually frequent any specific spots- Marmo is the exception. I always come back!
