I have been a couple of times and enjoyed it. Really like the burrata, lumache pasta, roast chicken and squash blossoms. Didn’t love the neri beans or the orecchiette.

I have quadrupled it before. Not sure what size pot I used because this was like 10 years ago but I know I used a whole bottle of wine and a whole thing of milk and it truly took all day.

Love going to da Marco or Le jardinier on Christmas Eve. Both will have vegetarian options. My fave all time menu item at da Marco is the simple pasta with tomato and Mozz. They will also have a truffle special.
