MARCH is a fine dining restaurant with a ticketed tasting menu that explores the evolution of the Mediterranean through its food, history, and cultures. The culmination of Goodnight Hospitality’s contributions to food and drink in Houston, MARCH was built to examine the regions in the Mediterranean where boundaries meet and intersect, creating tension, richness and diversity through food.
The word ‘March’ signifies a territory in the boundary lands; an area of land on the border between two territories; a frontier between realms. They see the Mediterranean as a collection of marches that have endless layers of cultures, languages, ideas, and skills.
Chef/Partner Felipe Riccio and the team at MARCH have been researching the exchange of ingredients and food items throughout the Mediterranean for years. Chef Felipe, in particular, has been exploring his roots and the flavors he grew up with as a Mexican native with an Italian father and Spanish mother.
The MARCH sommelier team, led by master sommelier and partner June Rodil, beverage director Mark Sayre, and wine director Gillie Malone, curates MARCH’s 11,000-bottle cellar. The awarding-winning sommelier team is deeply rooted in hospitality and their love of food and also act as Captains to the dinner experience – seamlessly maneuvering an elevated wine experience while entrenched in warm and engaging service.
As Chef Felipe’s food menu is a deep dive into the history of a region, the wine list at MARCH goes deep into the history of producers the team loves, specifically focusing on the breadth of single producers’ programs. Strong connections with the people and producers behind the wines are paramount for the MARCH list, which specifically highlights the connection between the team and the winemakers.
