"This is based on takeout I got from Marco Polo. I've never eaten in the restaurant. I've walked past them dozens of times and have always been curious, so when an Italian craving hit, my bf and I decided to try them out. Delivery came quick and our mains arrived warm. Unfortunately nothing was very good. We ordered the caesar salad, penne vodka, and chicken parm. It also came with several slices of bread. The bread was SUPER STALE. At least a day old. I'm surprised they deemed that acceptable to serve. The caesar was ok, but we were not a fan of the powdered parmesan or the thick dressing with a heavy anchovy flavor. The cheese on the chicken parm tasted store bought. The pastas were edible. I really believe that you get what you pay for. Just a couple nights prior we went to another Italian restaurant, had a phenomenal meal, and paid the exact same price as we did for this takeout. Same amount of food. We are willing to pay for quality. If Marco Polo charged 1/2 the price, or even 2/3 the price, then my expectations would have been been lowered and the quality would have made sense. But something just isn't adding up here."
