Asian-Italian Fusion Restaurant Opens At The Inn At Great Neck

GREAT NECK, NY — Marco Polo's, an Asian-Italian fusion restaurant, has opened its second location at The Inn at Great Neck.

A blend of cuisines from the East and West, Marco Polo's is modeled after its original location — which has been in business for more than 10 years — at the Viana Hotel & Spa in Westbury.

"We are excited to offer guests the culinary equivalent of a breath of fresh air," said Nick Horn, The Inn's general manager. "This is a unique dining option that really allows our culinary team to showcase their talent and let our neighbors and guests discover a new world of flavor, right here at The Inn at Great Neck."

Marco Polo's serves a variety of dishes — including sesame tuna tataki, which features prime ahi tuna with a crispy Asian-spiced, roasted sesame seed crust; steak with Chinese mustard; and Prosecco ginger salmon, which is dressed in lemon zest and garlic. In addition to a diverse food menu, Marco Polo's offers a specialty cocktail menu, which changes seasonally.

Patrons can choose to dine indoors or al-fresco. The patio is open for al-fresco dining throughout the summer.

Executive Chef Oral Wright, who began his culinary journey in Jamaica, prides himself on his innovative approach to cooking, and his passion for food shines through in every dish, according to Marco Polo's.

"With hard work, a devotion to excellence, and a love of food," he said, "anything is possible."

Marco Polo's is open for dinner and takeout six nights a week from 5 to 11 p.m. Happy Hour runs Tuesday through Thursday from 5 to 7 p.m., while lunch is served Friday through Sunday.

The Inn at Great Neck is located at 30 Cutter Mill Rd.
