Diners at Marco’s New York Italian in MediaCityUK can now tuck into even more Italian-American classics, as the family-friendly restaurant launches its new menu.
Combining Marco Pierre White’s Italian heritage and his love for New York, the renowned chef has personally designed over 20 new dishes for guests to choose from, at his restaurant in Manchester.
Representing the Italian side, Marco has added a wild mushroom lasagne; salmon cannelloni, and a fresh, summery caprese salad. New trans-Atlantic highlights include the new and improved American style nachos, and the huge New York BBQ platter, both of which typify American flavours and portion size.
Marco has also revamped the vegetarian options, with a spinach and ricotta calzone, quinoa superfood salad and macaroni cheese all now available.
For those with a sweet tooth, old favourite desserts such as the New York cheesecake and Chicago brownie, are now joined by the raspberry sundae and the Manhattan milkshaker – a giant Marco concoction of panna cotta milkshake, ice cream, fruit and cheesecake.
Speaking on the launch of the menu, Marco Pierre White said: “Italian cuisine will always be close to my heart. My mother was from there and I have a genuine passion for creating authentic, affordable Italian dining. The cuisine partners so well with New York culture and flavours, and my restaurants combine the two places perfectly.”
Siobhan Thomasson, General Manager of Marco’s New York Italian MediaCityUK, said: “We’re extremely excited to have launched a new menu, designed by the man himself. All your favourites are still here, but you may have a new favourite by the end of your next visit.”
Marco’s New York Italian menu is available from today. To see the new menu in full and to book your table, visit www.mpwrestaurants.co.uk
