Osteria Marco

Osteria Marco is a lively Italian tavern and artisan pizzeria nestled beneath the twinkling lights of historic Larimer Square in Denver. Opened in 2008 by Chef Frank Bonanno, the restaurant draws on the warmth of old-world Italian hospitality, offering handmade pasta, hand-tossed pizza, and a curated selection of artisanal meats and cheeses alongside an extensive Italian wine list. For private events, Osteria Marco offers two intimate dining rooms — the fully enclosed Tavern Room, which seats up to 35 guests, and the semi-private Wine Room, which accommodates up to 30 seated — as well as a full restaurant buyout for gatherings of up to 150 seated or 200 for a reception. Groups of 13 or more are treated to family-style service, with hosts pre-selecting menus served on large shared platters, making for a convivial, communal experience.
