Marco's New York Italian is Marco Pierre White's comfort-food chain concept tucked inside the Holiday Inn on Brook Street, Brentwood. It's the kind of place that does exactly what it says on the tin — decent pizzas, well-cooked steaks, and a Bottomless Pizza & Prosecco deal that's genuinely good value if you're feeding a group. You won't leave disappointed, but you won't be raving about it either.
A Marco Pierre White comfort-food chain in a Holiday Inn where the Bottomless Pizza & Prosecco deal is the real draw for groups.
Go for the Bottomless Pizza & Prosecco deal if you're in a group — it's the best value on the menu and the main reason to pick this place over the alternatives on Brook Street.
Solid comfort food, nothing more
Marco's New York Italian is exactly what you'd expect from a Marco Pierre White restaurant in a Holiday Inn: polished but not pretentious, with a menu that plays it safe. The pizzas are decent, the steaks are cooked well enough, and the Bottomless Pizza & Prosecco deal is genuinely good value if you're feeding a crowd. It's the kind of place where you won't have a bad meal, but you also won't be raving about it to your friends afterward.
The atmosphere is comfortable and modern, with warm lighting and a layout that works well for both families and business dinners. Service is generally friendly and efficient, though it can slow down during peak times. The location on Brook Street is convenient, and the hotel setting means you're never far from a room if things go south — which, honestly, sums up the whole experience nicely.
Overall, it's a solid choice for a relaxed evening out, especially if you're looking for something familiar and reliable. Just don't expect anything groundbreaking — this is comfort food done right, not a culinary adventure. The Google reviews paint a similarly mixed picture, with a 3.7 rating reflecting that some diners have had genuinely disappointing experiences alongside the perfectly acceptable ones.
