Da Marco Houston

Da Marco sits on Westheimer Road, a twenty-minute walk from the Menil Collection. It serves Italian cuisine that bridges the gap between classic foundations and contemporary technique.

The room runs smart, feeling noticeably more formal than the casual eateries flanking the nearby River Oaks Shopping District. While those neighbors cater to the quick-turn crowds of the park, Da Marco leans into a slower pace. It is the better choice for a meal that requires focus, whereas the surrounding area is built for convenience. You go here when the quiet of a dining room matters more than the proximity to Buffalo Bayou Park.
