In the heart of Houston’s Montrose neighborhood, MARCH Restaurant is an intimate Mediterranean restaurant from Chef Felipe Riccio. Serving both 6 and 9 course tasting menus, we study the gastronomy, history, and cultures of the region to answer the question:

“What is Mediterranean cuisine?”

After many years of personal and professional exploration of the Mediterranean – including extended stints at three-Michelin-starred Osteria Francescana and Azurmendi –Felipe has brought this spirit of exploration back to his home in Houston.

The word ‘MARCH’ signifies an area of land on the border between two territories; a frontier between realms. The menu is the team’s love letter to the Mediterranean where we will explore the unique, layered evolution of its many connected cuisines, with beverage pairings/selections artfully curated by partner and Master Sommelier, June Rodil, and the acclaimed beverage team.

Past dishes included paella with lamb chorizo and sweetbreads, paired with luscious wines and the restaurant’s signature herbal-infused vermouth.

    Dining at March is an unforgettable journey through the art of gastronomy. From the moment you step inside, you’re greeted with a refined ambiance that balances elegance with warmth, setting the tone for the evening. The service is impeccable—attentive without being overbearing, and the staff’s deep knowledge of the tasting menu is evident. The tasting menu is a revelation, each dish a meticulously crafted masterpiece. The flavors are bold yet harmonious, showcasing both technique and creativity. The genius lies in how the story unfolds, starting with a specific region and its historical cuisine, then elevating those ingredients to new heights. Each course arrives like a work of art, beautifully plated and bursting with intricate flavors that evolve with every bite. The wine pairing is just as carefully curated, with each selection enhancing the dishes in a way that elevates the entire experience. Every detail, from the presentation to the final note of dessert, is handled with precision and care. I love this place and look forward to coming back next season.

    The food was tasty. I enjoyed the concept of relaxing with cocktails prior to being seated for dinner. The drinks were great. Offering both alcoholic and non alcoholic options. The tasting menu was beautiful and favors were tasty and at times exotic. I enjoyed the wine pairing with my meal and it didn’t disappoint. Left feeling full and satisfied. Plan to return again in the near future.

    We are three friends who went to March to celebrate the birthdays of two of us. The evening was a unique and holistic experience, from the valet to the entrance to the building to the pre-sitting dinner to dinner. The food was exquisite, and the servers were very knowledgeable and told the story behind each course, making us feel truly special. The birthday celebration was a truly delicious experience from North Italy to March in Houston. Thank you!
