Yearn for a truly different restaurant? Then discover Marchi's Restaurant, a New York legend since 1930, where there is no sign outside and no menu inside!
Marchi's Restaurant is a family affair. From the very first moment you enter, you'll feel like a guest for dinner in the home of a family that takes pride in its heritage. Signor and Signora Marchi founded this charming restaurant more than 75 years ago. Their sons, Mario, John, and Robert and, Mario’s wife Christine now carry on the tradition of this great restaurant.
Normally something you might hope to encounter abroad, one of the best kept secrets in New York is located on a charming tree-lined Murray Hill street, inside a handsomely kept brownstone. You'll know it by the vine-covered entrance and softly lit elegant Marchi coat of arms. Inside, the first two dining rooms retain the warm atmosphere of a private residence, while the third dining room is larger and suitable for private parties. The new outdoor garden, designed by John Marchi, is available for your dinning pleasure during the summer months and is a cozy "hideaway" for intimate dinner groups.
At Marchi’s, you will not be provided with a menu—no decision, no problems! Instead you'll suddenly find set before you a FIVE COURSE tasting menu - a parade of the finest in home-cooked Italian fare - which is prepared by Chef Biondo Shabaz. There is an exceptional wine list, featuring over 85 bottles from Italy and the U.S. Marchi’s is very selective with the wines they chose to serve, as no wine makes the list without passing through Mario’s tasting process.
Tradition is the key to Marchi’s success and popularity. It has remained as a truly marvelous New York City restaurant experience for generations, as diners continue to enjoy the wonderful home cooked Italian fare found only here.
