Description
Marx Wine Bar & Grill is a jewel-bright cheapie of a can-do, super-friendly bistro in the middle of Stillwater's main drag. Chef and owner Mark Hansen does a great job with aggressively flavored twists on Italian-American classics: He makes his own pasta, mozzarella, and one of the simplest and best marinara sauces around. Frankly, with all the intense, big-value, high-energy food and good, inexpensive wine, the place seems more like it fits into the big picture of New York Italian diaspora (Florida, Long Island) than Stillwater antiques-village, but hey, who's complaining?
