Dine at Marco’s Although retired from his career as a chef, the restaurateur has many eateries to his name FRANKIE’S, LONDON A collaboration between Marco and the jockey Frankie Dettori, the two restaurants have an Italian-American theme. The ﬂagship New York Italian restaurant in Knightsbridge offers pasta, meats and burgers, alongside more adventurous Marco-inspired meals such as rib-eye steak alla Romana with snails and garlic butter. Frankie’s Sports Bar and Grill has a relaxed atmosphere, with live sport on the plasma screens while you enjoy a bowl of pasta.
