Marco\u2019s Restaurant<\/strong><\/a>‘s inherent Italian charm, Durban style and adventurous soul combined with his Italian mother\u2019s wonderful cooking ability, helped create Marco\u2019s Ristornate in 1999.<\/p>\n

Having relished Mamma\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n
