Chef Marc Orfaly is at it again. He's already established himself as a master of traditional French cuisine at Pigalle, his acclaimed bistro in Boston's theater district. Marco Cucina Romana is his new passion. Chef Orfaly has gained a reputation for remaining true to a culinary genre while simultaneously infusing it with various global influences. In 2004, Food & Wine Magazine named him one of their 10 Best New Chefs. In the same year, he walked away with his first James Beard nomination (Best Chef Northeast). Located in Boston's historic North End, Marco features the cosmopolitan cuisine of Rome while paying homage to its many regional influences. The menu is built on a foundation of simple, fresh pastas and antipasti, as well as a healthy dose of grilled meat, fish, and poultry dishes. Well-loved favorites like homemade gnocchi with brown butter and sage, veal ossobuco with risotto Milanese, and Lobster scampi are complemented by delectable side dishes such as rosemary roasted potatoes and fried polenta. Marco also features hearty cuts of Florentine steak cooked on the grill and served with sharp rucola and lemon, as well as a large selection of salumi, including prosciutto, bresaola, and capocollo.
