Marco's Italian - Isipingo

If you're looking for authentic Italian food then this is the place. We had the aranchini balls as starters, seafood pasta and chicken pizza, all the dishes were tasty. Our waiter was friendly and recommended some good wine options.

Be sure to make a reservation and arrive early as parking can be a bit difficult, especially in the evenings. We had made a reservation but were still required to wait 15 minutes as the restaurant was full to capacity. We ordered the Honeymoon on Pasta and Avrils Pasta off the menu. The Honeymoon on Pasta is a definite 10/10, from appearance to taste to portion size. We expected a little more from Avrils Pasta. We found it to be a bit dry and it needed a bit more sauce and heat. Drinks-wise, the espresso martini we ordered was one of the best we've ever tasted in Durban, and they've got a good selection of wines to accompany your meal. We opted for the Spier Signature Sauv Blanc. I would definitely recommend this restaurant as it is worth the money spent, with good service from table staff and great food options.

The Honeymoon on pasta is absolutely brilliant, presented in a tinfoil Swan. The flavours are next level, and the entire vibe is a must. Staff are a little bit quick off the mark the two times we've been there, not giving us a chance to really look over the menu. But that's still worth the delicious food!

Once of the better Italian restaurants in Umhlanga ...we have been here on a few occasions and the Honeymoon Pasta is always a winner. On our last visit we tried the mussel pot for starters and the chicken Avo Pizza ...both were great a good wood fire on the pizza and freshly prepared. We had some Gin Cocktails and Tequila to finish off both went down well and we did have a great waiter which closed a great meal compared to our previous visit. The food is always good and drinks like wise ..a must try if your in the mood for a pasta or good Pizza.

I have had many pizza and pasta's in my life, but in my honest opinion this is may be the best I have ever had. The pasta was fresh and full of flavour. The pizza was also top notch. If you are looking for great italian food in the durban area then you won't be disappointed.
