๐ Plenty of Pasta At Marco Anthony Italian Restaurant
โWe want people to feel like theyโre part of our family,โ says Paul Dehart, server at Marco Anthony in Occoee. Marco Anthony is a family-oriented hole-in-the-wall that serves home-style Italian dishes. Everything is made from scratch so there may be a longer wait for plates than expected. The restaurant, which has been standing for over 10 years, has maintained its local, home-grown vibe.
With this shop having changed ownership several times, many locals in the area are critical of the consistency and quality of the food. Iโve personally had a great experience. Their classic Italian dishes utilize fresh ingredients with a unique touch. Hereโs a sight of our bites!
๐ง Mozzarella Fritti
The Mozzarella utilized in this classic appetizer is fresh, signified by the stretchiness of the cheese. Itโs battered and fried, served alongside marinara sauce.
๐ Pasta
This ๏ปฟAlla Burina is composed of melted ricotta, and pasta coated in meat and marinara sauce. This dish tastes homemade, with authentic Italian flavors and the quality, filling cheese.
๐ Lasagna
Baked pasta is a specialty at Marco Anthony. This lasagna is frenched in marinara sauce and topped with melted mozzarella. The layers of meet and cheese taste rich, with a satisfyingly savory flavor.
๐ซ Nutella Pizza
This dessert pizza offers a classic Italian dish in a fun way. The dish features a pizza slathered in Nutella and topped with bananas and fruit for fresh juiciness. Itโs the sweetest way to end a meal!
Since the meals are made from scratch and the front-of-the-house may have limited staffing from being a local business, the wait time for food may be longer than expected. Luckily, the shop sends out deliveries, and is also available on apps like Grub Hub or Door Dash. If youโre looking to dine in, the weekend may be a good time to visit, as theyโve rolled out a new brunch menu!
