Marco's Trattoria

"So pleased to see a restaurant in Ivybridge. It’s a nice restaurant, good ambiance, friendly staff. Have eaten here various times. Good coffee, bacon roll and ciabatta for brunch. We had pizza and red wine for lunch. We also went for their little plates tapas style with friends. The team are keen to succeed. Seemed happy to listen to opinions. Produce is fresh. Yes they are new and seeing what works and what people want. So go visit and let’s see if we can keep a restaurant in ivybridge."

"Brilliant - The staff were extremely helpful. We were due to go on NYE but both my partner and me had COVID so had to cancel, they gave us a voucher with the balance of our deposit that we paid which was lovely. We finally managed to go 25.02.23 and it was stunning. The atmosphere was superb and the food was even better. Everything is made freshly that same morning and you can tell! I can see us going back quite often as it is a fantastic little place. ONE THING I WILL NOTE (AND TO US, IS NOT A NEGATIVE BUT IS WORTH NOTING) IS THAT THE FOOD IS MADE FRESHLY THAT DAY, WITH THIS IN MIND THEY DO RUN OUT OF CERTAIN MAINS ETC. DEPENDING ON WHICH ONES ARE POPULAR. I ORDERED THE PORK LOIN. HOWEVER, THIS WAS SOLD OUT AND I HAD FISH SKEWERS INSTEAD - I'M GLAD THAT THE PORK WAS OUT OF AS IT WAS LUSH! Thanks to all the staff for your fantastic service. See you all soon"

"As an independent trader here in Ivybridge it's nice to see this lovely restaurant here. Competitively priced and the food is really nice. Will be coming again."

"Really impressed with the meal this evening. The food was excellent, the service attentive without being intrusive. Mum and I really enjoyed it. Well done all, we'll be back!"

"Upon arriving the staff are friendly and welcoming. Take your jackets etc. It is only when your sat down that they announce their not licensed to serve alcohol. They said we can go to the shop to get alcohol. Why not tell us at the point of booking. We could of planned our meal a bit better with a bit of forward thinking. The starters were lovely but felt it was a bit pricey for what it was. The main cause came out and for Meatballs and Cabbage with a Tomato sauce for £18 is a very steep price, especially when the sauce was dry, meatballs where undercooked and no flavour. Pizza was soggy in the middle and burnt on the outside. Has so much potential but don’t feel we personally will be going back. £65 for a non alcoholic meal seems pricy for two people. I truly believe in supporting local business’s within our community."
