Da Marco

Bring plenty of plastic: Italian fare—and wine—that’s this good makes for a special night out. We’ve come to trust the wait staff at this gracious home in the Montrose to recommend the perfect wine from the extensive list. And though we sometimes stray to the changing blackboard menu, we often stick with our tried-and-true favorites, like the moist, meaty duck breast and leg and the two luscious lamb chops topped with cumin yogurt, as well as the calf liver with polenta and the braised short ribs with burrata risotto. Seafood pleases too, from the flown-in branzino to grilled octopus.
