Although you won’t need to wear them whilst you’re eating. That would obviously get messy.

Other than that, not much has changed at Marco’s. You can still expect the same reverence for simple, strong and authentic flavours, all at great value, with packages starting from Dhs199.

Classic Italian dishes are seasoned with American culinary inspiration and are realised in the world-renowned chef’s unpretentious style.

Starters include crispy calamari, buffalo wings, heirloom tomato & burrata salad, and New York pizza.

Review: Marco’s New York Italian

For the main course, diners can choose between dishes such as risotto funghi e tartoufo, mac & cheese al fungi, grass-fed sirloin and oven-baked black cod.

Those that save room for sweets will be justly rewarded. The restaurant’s sharing desserts include Mr. White’s tiramisu, warm chocolate brownie and a classic 1930’s New York Knickerbocker Glory.

And there’s some great news for families too as kids below 12 years old are welcome for the brunch.

Capacity will be capped at 40 per cent, so make sure you get your booking in early.
