Unlike its namesake explorer, Marco Polo makes it so you don’t have to travel the world to find good cooking and a quality atmosphere. Putting a contemporary spin on authentic Italian food, the local restaurant appeals to palates of all inclinations. Appetizer options are mostly prepared to be shared with popular choices like chilled asparagus topped with crab meat, garlic mussels, and crispy calamari. Meat and seafood lovers, meanwhile, will find plenty of choices among the dinner menu, but risotto specialties, fresh pizzas, and handcrafted pasta dishes are not to be missed.
