Yelp.com Review - 6/6/2010
Whenever I'm recommending this restaurant to people I know, I speak highly of it, about how they make all of their ingredients in house with the exception of their bread, how you can order things off the menu if they have the ingredients...
I talk this place up quite a bit.
Throughout my visits I've had the chance to try the antipasto salad, the Parma sandwich, the fried meatballs, spinach manicotti, and a salmon dish special they had one night. Out of all of these the manicotti stands out as being my favorite dish, though I'm thinking you really can't go wrong with any of the food. But seriously, try the manicotti. All the ingredients are crafted together to create these tasty dishes, so be sure to enjoy their garlic bread while they prepare your meal.
On all my visits, with the exception of one, the service has been excellent. They are attentive and have absolutely no problem going through the menu with you item by item. On almost every visit, at least one of my friends was unsure of what to get. The server then goes into interview mode and asks what the person likes and dislikes, leading to a satisfying dish selection.
As for the one exception for excellent service: During one of my last visits, I spoke with Chef Marc and told him how I recommend this place to anyone seeking Italian, and complimented him on his staff's attention to customers and quality of food. That very night, my order was botched. I had ordred their salmon dinner special for the night, but somehow the waiter thought I ordered the veal parmesan. My dinner wasn't exactly ruined, but it did dampen my spirits when the rest of my friends were 3/4 of the way through their dinner by the time my food got to me.
Now I have been back since that little incident, and I haven't had experienced any hiccups in service since then.
Parma joins my list of Repeat Eats; I'll dine here anytime I'm invited.

Went here while on a business trip with colleagues including Chad B. who also reviewed our visit.
The food was outstanding and the service friendly. Much better than I expected considering this place is located in a strip mall.
This is a great place for lunch or casual dinner. I liked the couches and coffee tables in the center.
The portions were generous and served hot. The pasta as well as the other ingredients seemed very fresh and well prepared.
Highly recommended!

Found this place on Yelp and it had good reviews. The place lived up to the good ratings. Food was great, people there were really friendly. Cool place with great food. I am in town for work and my colleagues and I all thought that it was excellent and will be heading back soon!

I love the atmosphere of this place. Its not quite a full restaurant, nor just a deli, but rather an intimate spot to have a quick lunch or casual dinner. Im a huge fan of their fresh pasta selection as well as their deli choices. Their Italian market is also a key factor with my liking of this place. Its not overly abundant with products, but it seems to have enough to cover your needs if you're in need of traditional italian products.
The food here is great too. I cant compliment the meat lasagna enough. Delicious! The various other meals I've had have been good too for the price.
Service is wonderful, food is great, and prices are fair.

I really like this place.... It's pretty damn cozy inside. You walk in and the first thing you'll notice is that the room is divided in to three distinct areas. To the right and left are typical sit-down tables. In the middle is a row of couches, lounge chairs, coffee tables, and end tables where patrons sit, drink wine, and strike up conversations with their neighbors.
I'll be honest and say I haven't tried much of their food except the Antipasto for 2 (for about $15+/-) which was tossed with a light red wine vinagrette and a huge assortment of things to snack on while your sipping on wine.
What I did stop in there for was awesome. I like to cook my Italian at home (I've got some killer recipes), but I have no patience to make fresh pasta. Well, Marc's is the answer. Walk in there and walk out with whatever you want. You can also buy bread, cold cuts, fresh (and delicious) mozzarella, and Italian deli items. You can also by two of his sauces - either the regular marinara (very, very good - San Marzano all the way!!!) or his Sunday sauce (which I have yet to try but includes his meat gravy). All I know is this - I don't eat or cook Italian often, but when I do, it's off to Marc's for the fresh, homemade accoutrements!!!!
And some of the other reviewers said - awesome service. The chef always comes out and talks with the customers and they go out of your way to make sure your service is speedy. I like this concept MUCH better than his old joint.
Good job on just having a cool place Chef!!

By far and large one of the best surprises I've had in a long time.
Fantastic Italian food, a superb atmosphere which feels more like going to a friend's kitchen, and most excellent service. The gnocchi w/Sunday sauce, the lasagna, and the carbonara were incredible and all authentic.
The pastas were all freshly made in house and were also fantastic. We finished our extraordinary meal with freshly made cannolis (the shells and the stuffing were made in-house), tiramisu (very light as it should be and with a hint of Marsala), and espresso - all of which continued to prove this place is a phenomenal find. The server had decent knowledge of wine pairings and was spot on with service in all aspects.
The bottom line about the place is if you're in Vegas, even if on vacation, this place is worth the drive and the time to find as it is by far and large a more pleasant experience than the overpriced and overhyped restaurants on the strip.

Excellent. Excellent. Excellent.
This little gem of a restaurant is nothing short of perfection.
An authentic and oh so very fresh (they make their own pasta!) Italian cuisine where every dish comes with a personal touch.
Service is wonderful and very personable (see Pam, she's great and treats you like you've always been a part of her Italian family).
They don't lie either --their Antipasto salad is and I quote "the BEST. ANYWHERE". Order a small because their meaning of small is LARGE :)
Pasta is exquisite (try the Baked Pasta Fazoletti) and top off your meal with wine from their wonderful selection (try a bottle from the Sinatra Family or their Moscato D'Asti-Risata) and couple it with the ever so delicious dessert-- TIRAMISU and Cannoli ---it'll make you salivate for days and you feel like you've died and gone to food heaven.
The atmosphere is great--it makes you feel like you've walked into the home of Chef Marc himself to enjoy one of the best Italian meals ever. They even have the option to take home some of their home made fresh pasta to use for your own cooking pleasure.
Once you visit you'll be telling everyone what a great restaurant you've just discovered that it'll make you feel like a local :)

- Likes it - When you first walk in you get the feel of an authentic NY deli, but that's not all. There's a restaurant area on both sides where the booths are and they have a European style lounge in the center to relax in if you're waiting on a to go order or just waiting to be seated at a table. Also, they have beautiful custom painted artwork decorating the walls. As I walked up to the counter they were slicing fresh meats and they offered me a taste. They told me that their deli meat is always sliced fresh and that it's paper thin. It was delicious and it melted in my mouth; something I've never experienced before when it comes to deli meats. All I can say about it is: WOW! After that I was offered a menu to look over. There's a nice variety of items on their menu from fresh sandwiches to fresh pasta dishes to classic dishes like lasagna and chicken parmesan. I decided on the spaghetti bolognese, so I placed my order and went to have a seat at a table. The wait was about 10-15 minutes and it was well worth it. The pasta was prepared perfectly; I've never had pasta so fresh before. The sauce was very light and tasty; a perfect harmony when mixed in with the pasta. They added carrots and delicious meats. Also, the waiter put fresh grated parm cheese to top it off. I must say it was amazing! It's some of the best Italian I've had in Vegas! I'll definitely be going back to try the chicken parm! I would recommend this restaurant to all my family and friends. I wish them well on their success and they've just earned themselves a loyal customer.

This place is tucked away in a little strip mall and the windows are covered with black curtains. We walked in and were a bit confused but were quickly noticed by the wonderful staff inviting us in to sit down anywhere we wanted. We were given the menu and told what pastas were just made fresh. The price is a bit expensive but the food was absolutely delicious. Now I want fresh pasta everywhere we go. Great service and great food.

Some people may know Chef Marc as the original owner of Marc's World Cuisine (which was incredible while he ran it). And as a partner of Mezzo on Craig and Rancho which is also very good!
However, Parma is AMAZING!
My mom and I stopped in one evening during his soft open after hearing that he had opened his own restaurant from one of the servers at Mezzo.
The concept is great. He has included a small market along with a deli which you can order and take home a number of items from sandwiches to sauce, imported meats and cheeses. All of exceptional quality.
Chef Marc as well as his staff are always wonderful at table-side conversation as well as helping with any suggestions such as wine pairings or entree's. His fresh pasta and sausage are incredible.
If you haven't tried it out yet PLEASE DO!!!!!

Saw this place and it didnt look like much from the outside. We went in and were surprised how nice it was.
The owner Chef Marc was so nice and talked us into trying some really good food. He makes all his pasta fresh daily as well as his own sausage. I tried the Bolognese (sp) with these huge spaghetti noodles that was incredible & my Daughter had a great Fettucini Alfredo with super rich creamy sauce. Everyone there will bend over backward to please you. Also the seating arrangement is pretty cool you can sit at the leather sofa's with huge coffee tables or they have a slightly more formal area if thats what you're after. I seldom give 5 stars but this place deserves it.
