Marco's Trattoria in South Hams

My sister booked for 6pm for me and herself, best margarita cocktail in ivybridge. Service was excellent, the food was delicious! I would definitely recommend, very accommodating..best pizza I’ve had for ages! Thankyou once again, we will be back!

Absolutely incredible visit! Everything was delicious! We are now regulars often going in for coffee and my daughter loves the hot chocolate both of which are really lovely .Pizza and garlic bread and brownie was fantastic. My wife and daughter are going next week with friends and are very excited! Very clean and lovely staff. Definitely recommend.

Mid-week meal with friends before show at the Watermark. Great food, lovely staff - would recommend. The Tiramisu is something else! ❤️

Top grade coffee and great location to catch up with friends. Never feel rushed even when busy. Recommended.

Great place. Owners and employees super friendly and helpful. Pizza very good. One of the best I've had in Devon. Ivybridge is a little gem. Marco's a little gem. Shouldn't be telling you this, want to keep it all to myself.

Food was lovely menu was not extensive which suits me but may not others ? the menu is regular changed and updated the ambience was lovely and the staff and owner were very pleasant.

Lovely food and very friendly service.

Went in there today for a coffee & lunch and was superb. Cooked to order, fresh produce & lovely coffee. Staff were friendly including the young lass server. Simple menu but really works, nothing complicated. Support local businesses were you can everyone. Worth a visit if your in Ivybridge.

Great evening, lovely restaurant for Ivybridge and really yummy food!

My friend (a local) booked a table here for my weekend visit, and I am so glad she did! As someone who is gluten and dairy intolerant it can be difficult to eat out but Marco’s was very accommodating and had a huge range of options for me to choose from! We shared the spicy fries to start and I regretted not having one each. I had the spicy chicken and pineapple pizza and a few extra toppings, and it was delicious! The GF base was one of (if not) the best I’ve had, and the vegan cheese topped it off nicely. Rounded off with some dairy free raspberry icecream, what a perfect meal! My friend had the pepperoni pizza and the chocolate brownie and amaretto cream for dessert and it looked fantastic! Thanks so much for the lovely meal and great service, the atmosphere in the restaurant was relaxed and the staff were attentive and very friendly.

Super friendly, great stop off on a bike ride through!

Very welcoming, warm, friendly and helpful staff and excellent food. Our party of eight had a lovely relaxed evening. Thank you

Lovely local restaurant with nice a calm atmosphere food was absolutely delicious. Staff where friendly and welcoming, pizza was amazing will be going back for pizza night. Tagliatelle, best I have had in a very long time. Thank you Marco,s for a lovely meal. See you again soon. James

We live in the town and wanted to try the new restaurant. It was great as we could walk down to enjoy some drinks. The restaurant was beautifully decorated and had a great atmosphere, we were greeted and seated nice and quickly. The menu was limited with 4 main dishes plus a range of pizzas but still a great mix and didn't need more as I would have been spoilt for choice and not know what to pick! It was kinda like how they do in the fancy restaurants with fresh menus and meal choices each day based on supply but without making me feel like it was too fancy and I was out of place! Food was delicious and drinks on offer were great even with beers from the local brewery 🤩

Popped In for a quick pizza after the Ivybridge 10k run. When I started reading other reviews I thought I must have the wrong restaurant. The staff were friendly, I chose a glass of pinot grigio from their wine list, and the pizzas when they came were delicious and fresh. Only reason I didn't give 5 across the board was that when we left it was empty which we found unbelievable.

Expensive and very little choice. No desserts only cake

Overpriced, poor service, very very very slow! Cold starter took 40 minutes to arrive. Accompaniments for main dishes had to be chased. Had to request more drinks, dessert menu, etc. Dishes very slow to be cleared. Carbonara could have been eaten in 5 mouthfuls......very small portion for steep price. Very dry and unappealing. Garlic bread had no hint of garlic. Needs so much more work. I won't be going back.....such a pity....nice location and had potential.

So pleased to see a restaurant in Ivybridge. It’s a nice restaurant, good ambiance, friendly staff. Have eaten here various times. Good coffee, bacon roll and ciabatta for brunch. We had pizza and red wine for lunch. We also went for their little plates tapas style with friends. The team are keen to succeed. Seemed happy to listen to opinions. Produce is fresh. Yes they are new and seeing what works and what people want. So go visit and let’s see if we can keep a restaurant in ivybridge.

Brilliant - The staff were extremely helpful. We were due to go on NYE but both my partner and me had COVID so had to cancel, they gave us a voucher with the balance of our deposit that we paid which was lovely. We finally managed to go 25.02.23 and it was stunning. The atmosphere was superb and the food was even better. Everything is made freshly that same morning and you can tell! I can see us going back quite often as it is a fantastic little place. ONE THING I WILL NOTE (AND TO US, IS NOT A NEGATIVE BUT IS WORTH NOTING) IS THAT THE FOOD IS MADE FRESHLY THAT DAY, WITH THIS IN MIND THEY DO RUN OUT OF CERTAIN MAINS ETC. DEPENDING ON WHICH ONES ARE POPULAR. I ORDERED THE PORK LOIN. HOWEVER, THIS WAS SOLD OUT AND I HAD FISH SKEWERS INSTEAD - I'M GLAD THAT THE PORK WAS OUT OF AS IT WAS LUSH! Thanks to all the staff for your fantastic service. See you all soon

Great food and staff are brilliant Highly recommended

Came in on the off chance at lunchtime today. Lovely ambiance great food, very welcoming and professional owner. Looking forward to trying the evening menu.

Fantastic new Italian restaurant, food was excellent, staff friendly, great atmosphere throughout. Will definitely be returning.

Really impressed with the meal this evening. The food was excellent, the service attentive without being intrusive. Mum and I really enjoyed it. Well done all, we'll be back!

Upon arriving the staff are friendly and welcoming. Take your jackets etc. It is only when your sat down that they announce their not licensed to serve alcohol. They said we can go to the shop to get alcohol. Why not tell us at the point of booking. We could of planned our meal a bit better with a bit of forward thinking. The starters were lovely but felt it was a bit pricey for what it was. The main cause came out and for Meatballs and Cabbage with a Tomato sauce for £18 is a very steep price, especially when the sauce was dry, meatballs where undercooked and no flavour. Pizza was soggy in the middle and burnt on the outside. Has so much potential but don’t feel we personally will be going back. £65 for a non alcoholic meal seems pricy for two people. I truly believe in supporting local business’s within our community.

Great new local Italian. Really good food and really nice staff - would visit again

Found it a bit expensive for lunch menu. Ciabata with a bit of salad & 4 crisps £10. Also was unaware you could take your own alcohol.

A few teething problems that need to be addressed. The staff are lovely but the owner a little arrogant and completely ambivalent to suggestions for improvement and minor criticism. The food was ok , dry dough balls and cold unpeeled non garlic prawns are not good starters. No black pepper or parmigiana on offer unless requested. The wait time for food is poor and even if we wanted a dessert there was not enough time to be offered one before we had to vacate our table . The bones are there for a decent little restaurant but it needs work. Ivybridge is a small place and bad reviews travel quickly.

Excellent local restaurant with authentic Italian cuisine. Very impressed with equally fair prices. Will definitely be returning.

My son and his girlfriend went last night and said that the food was excellent!
