The product of former Au Pied de Cochon chef Mehdi Brunet-Benkritly and his culinary partner Molly Superfine-Rivera, Marconi aims to be a neighbourhood restaurant rather than a destination spot. Opened in December 2016, the restaurant is situated in a converted storefront right between the Mile Ex and Little Italy neighbourhoods. Despite the name, Marconi is not an Italian joint, with the seasonal menu offering nods to Quebecois and other cultures.
