Marco Polo restaurant reviews
Comments

Is this the same marco polo that we have been to on o connell street?
Been there 3 times in the last month for lunch with wife and kids
Not a problem...and i usually find problems in most restaurants
Food was good and great value for money and staff were helpful
but not too much in your face and toilets are really clean....
just wondering how many of the negative reviewers have an interest
in other restaurant businesses in town
To be fair, for all we know you could work there or own the place too, who knows? The joys of anonymous posting on a public forum.0 -

I have a relative working there and I posted a negative comment and I stand over it 100%. I have been asked numerous times since to come in for lunch but I can't help remembering while I was there the last time that I would have enjoyed somewhere else instead and for that reason I won't go back and I tell my relative over and over the food is rubbish.0 -

I was there for lunch with IO. It was my first time there but I must say, it was top class. The Curry I had was divine! Good prices too. Not too expensive. Only downside I found was one of the staff that seemed a bit up their own hole kinda thing, but coulda just been that kinda day for her too. Defiantly planning on going back again soon.
I know this is an old post but why is an Italian restaurant serving curry?
I've never been partly because Luigi Malones was so bad that the building is cursed for me. I remember looking at the Menu when it opened and being completely underwhelmed, it was as boring as hell.
I've eaten twice in del arte and was happy enough both times, nothing special but you wouldn't expect it in a shopping centre.0 -

Lived with 2 Italian ladies so perhaps I have been spoilt with good authentic Italian grub which belive me is nothing like what they serve in this place
Been to this restaurant a number of times (through work lunches) and was really not impressed. The menu is very limited and to be blunt very tasteless. Bread and cheeses are of poor quality, pasta dishes are bland and seasoning is very poor. Only positive is that Staff are very friendly and helpful.
At the end of the day it’s a generic wannabe Italian food which produces cheap, generic food for the masses, not that tasty but cheap with mass appeal0 -

Not sure I'd agree with this, having just spent a week in Italy, the only difference I see between their food and the food I got in Italy, is the ingredients taste slightly different. (nothing tastes like fresh Italian tomatoes).
In fact one restaurant was worse than Marco polo, but that was the only touristy restaurant we went to, so wouldn't have expected that to be great.0 -

Agree with the guy who lived with the Italians. The food you get in Ireland isn't really the same as you get in Italy, but as you say, ingredients, portions etc will dictate this. The Carbonara you get in Ireland is nothing like what you get in Italy imo. Some of the pizzas here are close enough to Italian ones, but the dough will always taste a bit different, as the raw ingredients are apparently what makes the difference (flour and water). I spent 2 years in Italy, and was a greedy boll*x there
