If you're looking for a taste of Italy while exploring the beautiful island of Gili Trawangan, look no further than Pizzeria da Marco! This charming little restaurant serves up some of the most delicious and authentic Italian dishes I've had the pleasure of trying.
First and foremost, the Amatriciana is a must-try. The perfectly al dente pasta is tossed with a rich, flavorful tomato sauce, crispy pancetta, and a generous dusting of Pecorino Romano cheese. It's a classic dish executed flawlessly.
The Caprese salad is another standout. Fresh, juicy tomatoes are paired with creamy mozzarella, fragrant basil leaves, and a drizzle of high-quality olive oil. The simplicity of this dish allows the quality of the ingredients to shine through.
Of course, no Italian restaurant would be complete without pizza, and Pizzeria da Marco's Margherita is a prime example of why this classic pie is so beloved. The crust is thin, crispy, and slightly charred, topped with a bright tomato sauce, fresh mozzarella, and aromatic basil leaves. It's a slice of heaven.
The warm, friendly service and cozy atmosphere only add to the experience. If you're in Gili Trawangan, do yourself a favor and pay a visit to Pizzeria da Marco. Your taste buds...

And he remembered. We had no problem getting a table for two, though not long after they were full with people waiting for tables. We both had pasta dishes, though the pizza looked amazing, and the pasta was fresh and delicious. We had wanted dessert but we were both stuffed so passed up the opportunity. The service was swift and good, the staff friendly even though they were rushed off their feet.
Marco's is a bit off the beaten path, but on the main cut through between one side of the island and the other. Would definitely...
Read moreGreat experience. I walked past and noted how delicious the food looks. Later I came back for dinner and was not dissapointed. The wait staff was really helpful (Hero, Irffan) even though the place was about full (which is a good sign) and apologized for wait time I got my pizza in a timely manner (15min).
As I was about to leave an Italian family walkes by and wondered if they should make a reservation for tomorrow since the Italian lady said she saw what incredients they use and knows it's quality. I did recommend they make a reservation. And they did.
5/5 can full heartedly recommend. I had the...
