Marmo
Modern, chic, and full of Italian soul, Marmo brings a sophisticated spin to Houston happy hour. Offered Monday through Friday from 3–6 PM, it’s a mix of approachable Italian classics, polished cocktails, and wines that keep things light but stylish.
Sip $6 wines like prosecco, pinot grigio, or montepulciano, or keep it classic with $5 Peroni. If spirits are more your speed, $8 pours of vodka, gin, bourbon, tequila, or rum.
The bites are where Marmo shines: $2 oysters with a Calabrian chili mignonette, $5 polpette meatballs with ricotta, rigatoni alla vodka, or Caesar salad. At $8, Tuscan fried chicken with lemon and garlic aioli, veal bolognese tagliatelle, and polenta fries with gorgonzola fonduta make it hard to choose just one. Splurge a little with $15 tuna crudo or beef tartare if you’re feeling indulgent.
Insider Tip: Plan your visit during Marmo’s weekly live music nights—happy hour tastes even better with a soundtrack.
