From Naples to Austin — a family legacy built on love and fresh ingredients
From Naples to Austin — a family legacy built on love and fresh ingredients
Marco's Kitchen was founded in 1985 by Chef Marco Rossi, who brought his grandmother's recipes from Naples, Italy to Austin, Texas.
For over 35 years we have been serving authentic Italian food made with love and fresh ingredients. What started as a small corner trattoria has grown into one of Austin's most beloved dining destinations — but the soul of the food has never changed.
Every sauce, every dough, every dish is still prepared the way Nonna Rosa taught Marco as a young boy in her Naples kitchen. No shortcuts. No compromises. Just honest Italian food.
The heart of Marco's Kitchen is the people who show up every day with passion and dedication.
Trained in Naples and Tuscany, Marco has spent over four decades perfecting the art of Italian cuisine. Every dish on our menu carries his name and his heart.
Marco's daughter, Sofia grew up in the restaurant and now leads the front of house with warmth and precision. She ensures every guest leaves feeling like family.
Luigi joined Marco's Kitchen in 2010 and quickly became an indispensable part of the kitchen. His expertise in handmade pasta keeps guests coming back week after week.
Every dish tells a piece of Marco's journey. We'd love to share it with you.
