D'Marcos Italian

What an incredible atmosphere, service, and food! We got the fettuccine alfredo, pesto pasta, and pizza! Fettuccine Alfredo is one of my all-time favorite dishes and this is the absolute best I’ve had! Tiramisu is unbelievable! We will be back as it’s my new favorite Italian restaurant in Metro Detroit.

5 Star Service, Food, Cocktails & Atmosphere! Had a great dinner here with friends & our waitress Kate gave great recommendations that we all loved! She was also so sweet! (along with the hostess, too!) Our drinks, appetizers, entrees and dessert all came out in a timely fashion with no delays. The filet with zip sauce & potatoes were my favorite and the lemon cake for dessert- you'll thank me. The vodka sauce pasta was great too- had a really nice kick to it! The owner was checking in with all of the tables and introducing himself, it was really nice to see and know that it's a true family business to support in our community. Price range was very reasonable, I expected our check to be much higher considering the atmosphere & how big the portions were. even the desserts! Will be back!

Love D’Marcos! The remodel looks fantastic and we are loving the pizza oven. Great new additions to the menu with the antipasto salad and the wine list never lets us down. We always leave with a happy crew - which is hard to do with these 3 beauties! Highly recommend for a night out!

Veal Marsala was excellent, server was attentive and friendly, atmosphere was nice. Would definitely come back

Family had dinner there last night. 5/6/2025. Was blown away by everything. From the staff to the food. Seemed you were busier than normal. You couldn't tell by the service. Pam was our waitress. She was fabulous. Went above and beyond to ensure every guest was taken care of. I ordered the fillet mignon with shrimp and it was perfect. Was gonna order another but saved room for tirimasu. Will be back.

Ava was an amazing server! I would definitely come back for a fast, fun, and smart server! Good food was a plus ;) wine selection was huge!

The dishes are so good… it’s hard to pick just one. And the tiramisu is the best around…it’s homemade daily. The staff is friendly and the environment is classy and cozy… it’s one of our favorites and a must around the holidays.

Came here for a family dinner and everything was spectacular! such great service, everyone was so kind! Food tasted amazing and served quick.

Enjoyed drinks and dessert at the bar. Erika was a pleasure, she made a mean manhattan and every recommendation she made was a hit. Wonderful atmosphere, robust menu and impeccable service. Will be back for more great food and more great interactions with Erika. Great job D’Marco’s on being a great Rochester staple!

Came here with my girlfriends and had an amazing experience! The food was fantastic and came out very fast. Incredible service and will definitely be back!

I can’t say enough good things about my experience here!! We recently hosted my baby shower here, and it was absolutely perfect from start to finish. The staff went above and beyond to make the day special , everything was beautifully set up, the service was attentive and kind (Pam Rocks), and the food was incredible (everyone is still talking about it!). They made the whole process stress-free, and I truly felt so taken care of. It was the perfect space for our celebration , beautiful windows , welcoming, and full of delicious food. Highly recommend for any special event or just a great night out!

Had the best experience at D’Marcos last night! Such a great atmosphere and wonderful service. The food - fantastic! We’ll be back!

I had an amazing dining experience at this restaurant! Even the salad was impressive—fresh, flavorful, and thoughtfully prepared. I really appreciated the thick slices of meat instead of small chunks, which made a big difference. The Sausage & Pepper Fettuccine with Marinara was absolutely fabulous! It had just the right amount of spice, and the fresh noodles took it to the next level. From start to finish, every dish was delicious—even dessert was a perfect ending to the meal. I highly recommend this spot for anyone who loves great food and attention to detail!

We had my daughter’s bridal shower here this past weekend. The experience was incredible!! Food was amazing, service was top notch!! Pam, Tyler and Grace were beyond wonderful!! I would recommend them over and over again!! Mark, you have a great place and an even better team!!

My family and I were in to celebrate my daughter’s college graduation (Oakland University)local school. Had reservations and when I showed up early our waitress Pam offered to help, even though she was extremely busy. She brought out the flag of the university and hung it up to make my daughters day more special!! This particular day they were short handed but you would never know! There were 6 of us and Pam made us all feel special! Food was amazing, and the staff was exceptional! Highly recommend this restaurant and spoke with the manager and he was very polite and professional! Definitely returning to enjoy this amazing restaurant! Thank you!

I had the immense joy of hosting my daughter’s bridal shower at D’Marco’s, and I cannot express how thrilled we were with the entire experience! From the moment we stepped into the venue, we were greeted with a warm and welcoming atmosphere that perfectly set the tone for the celebration. The staff at D’Marco’s went above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect. They were incredibly helpful, accommodating our requests with grace and professionalism, which took a lot of stress off my shoulders. The catering was outstanding! Our guests loved every bite, and I received numerous compliments on the food throughout the event. The signature drink they crafted for us was a lovely touch that added a special flair to the occasion. I am so grateful to D’Marco’s for hosting such a magical bridal shower for my daughter. It was a day filled with love, laughter, and cherished memories that we will all treasure forever. I highly recommend D’Marco’s for anyone looking to celebrate a special occasion—it was simply perfect! Thank you again Tina

We had an extremely nice dinner on a Thursday evening. Karen was our waitress and was very helpful with suggesting drinks and dishes. The bread, salad, and appetizers were very great. We had the sausage and peppers appetizer. I had the Butternut Squash Ravioli for dinner which was very sweet but yummy. My date had the Mahi which was also very, very good. This was our second time here and everything was great. The restaurant wasn’t busy so it wasn’t loud at all. We didn’t feel rushed and had a very relaxed, enjoyable dinner. We are planning on returning to try their pizza and also a dinner of appetizers and rinks for happy hour! We definitely recommend!

After driving by for far too long, we made online reservations ( open table). Joined in on 3-14-25 for dinner before the ROXY Just a charming place. We walked in and Alyssa, Sarah and Ava were our welcoming committee. Alyssa sat us at a 4-top near Main Street, so much to see. Place is very high quality, felt like we were on vacation. We ordered the Chicken Piccata And The sausage & peppers ( Sarah swapped marinara for meat sauce on request) Sarah & Ava kept us informed and entertained. Food was quick and served piping hot. Anxious to get back for Happy Hour and to try the pizzas. Great destination, lots of thought went into it. Next visit we'll reserve a booth in the back. Check those out

What a beautiful decor, nice waitress (Ida), and we will return. We went at 4:30 on Thursday and it was happy hour for select menu items and I got the $10.00 eggplant Parmesan and it was so delicious 😋...oh yum. I also got a side salad which was good but next time I will get the dressing on the side (too much for my taste) and I got a bowl of their minestrone soup. My friend had the chicken picatta and raved about it saying she will go back for that. It was her birthday and Ida brought out a complimentary tiramisu and it was beyond delicious 😋💓... I highly recommend trying DiMarco's...

Came in on a whim just to check it out and I can say without a doubt I will be back. The food came out surprisingly quick and was phenomenal, best Alfredo sauce I’ve ever had. The atmosphere is relaxing and inviting. Very clean and well organized restaurant. Tyler was a fantastic waiter; came back multiple times to check on everything and refill drinks. Amazing experience and I look forward to coming back

We had an absolutely amazing experience at D’Marcos! Our server, Grace, was incredible from start to finish — friendly, knowledgeable, and so much fun. She actually picked our entire meal for us, including some of the fall seasonal items, and every single dish was outstanding. You can tell the food is made with care and high-quality ingredients. Between the cozy atmosphere, great cocktails, and Grace’s spot-on recommendations, this was one of the best dining experiences we’ve had in a long time. We can’t wait to come back!

I’m not usually a sit-down restaurant kind of guy, but D’Marcos is way too good to pass up. Their happy hour is an absolute steal—I’m honestly in love with it. The meatballs are out of this world, and the eggplant is a very close second. They also offer a late-night happy hour, which most places don’t, and that alone sets them apart. On top of that, the staff is incredibly friendly and welcoming. This place rules.

Truly, D’marcos is one of those places that keeps you coming back. The beef tenderloin linguine is incredible and cooked perfectly with so much flavor in every bite. Pair that with their unbeatable happy hour(I love $6 wine), including late night options you don’t see at many places, and it’s an easy win. The staff is always friendly and welcoming, which makes the whole experience even better. This place is a favorite for a reason.

Great spot for my work holiday party. Food was amazing & came out in a very timely fashion. Service from everyone was top notch. Restaurant manager Pam had us setup & checked in on us throughout the night. Our waitress Eva took great care of us all night. Great spot & will book for my work party again for next year.

Wow. We came to see the lights and ended up finding a new gem. I loved the pizza, the drinks, and the ambiance. It’s very family friendly but still calm enough to be a great spot for date night. We’ll definitely be back. I’m obsessed with the homemade brownie, it’s absolutely worth the calories lol.

We had a great experience for dinner tonight. Our server Grace gave us 10/10 recommendations for an appetizer, two entrees and dessert. Both the service and food were excellent. We will be back!

What a great night! Celebrated 2 birthdays tonight. With that said, everything was exceptional. Food was great (braised short ribs, rigatoni, lobster carbonara). Service great. Thank you Sara! Really enjoyed the entire experience and look forward to going again.

Claire was an amazing server! The food was very good, great flavors and spicing. I was a fan of their reverse Margherita pizza and we had their new butternut squash ravioli!

I would have rated this place 5 stars if it wasn’t for the manager Pam. Our server Audrey was amazing!! She really made the night and service for us worth it. The food, drinks and atmosphere were great! Absolutely no complaints there. As for the manager Pam; we called about 30 minutes prior to arriving to the restaurant and asked if they were taking walk ins or if it was by reservation only. The hostess on the phone said that they were doing both reservations and taking walk ins all night. Not even 25 minutes later we arrive and ask to be sat for 2. The manager said with an attitude that it wasn’t possible because they were only doing reservations. We explained to her the phone call we had, then she proceeded to call out the hostess by asking what was said over the phone insinuating that we were lying to her. She then continued with her attitude by saying that she could try to seat us and that there’s a great table we would enjoy over in the back. We were debating leaving once we got sat at our table but once our server came around we decided not to. We explained to our server Audrey what had happened and she apologized about the interaction. She explained that they were slower than expected and were told to start taking walk ins on this certain day, I guess Pam wasn’t informed in their communication. Other than our interaction with her we had an amazing dining experience. I would only go back for Audrey’s service and food if that manager wasn’t there. (We got a lemon cake for free as an apology for the inconvenience that we had with Pam).

Great service and great wine. We had the steak bites which were SO delicious! The veal parmesan was also very good, and the lobster carbonara was tasty but a little salty.

We called ahead of time to make a reservation for 6:30 and we were told there was no need, to just come in. We got there a few minutes after 6:30 and were told we could only sit at the bar. The hostess seemed like she was annoyed we were there. The server we had was nice and helpful and the food was good! We almost walked out and found somewhere else to eat, but we did stay and enjoyed our time other than the initial interaction.

Overall this is a nice place with good food and prime seating to view all of the downtown Rochester happenings. Actually a 3.5 stars. The house chianti was very nice. This meal was $55 not including the tip.

The appetizers and the dessert were good, but the entrées were not very good. The veal didn’t go well with the lemon wine sauce. The tiramisu was large enough for two people.

First time coming here and probably won’t be back. Ordered the charcuterie board and got served dirty grapes. Not just dusty… I’m talking caked on dirt that I could scrape off with my nail. Made me question how sanitary everything is in that kitchen if they serve visibly dirty fruit. Service was fantastic and the marinara was really good. Several of our drinks were messed up (olive juice in a classic martini w/a twist) we had to swap drinks and garnishes a few times.

Cocktails were great and the restaurant atmosphere is fantastic. That's pretty much all that this place has going for it. Looks like they've been getting poor reviews on their food for a few years now and it appears as though they have yet to take those reviews to heart. The pasta was overcooked and barely holding together. The "margherita pizza" was undercooked and in all honesty should be renamed based on what arrived to the table. Good place for drinks. I would say go elsewhere if you're looking to eat.

I don't normally write negative reviews but my experience at D'Marcos was extraordinarily disappointing. The service was TERRIBLE. We started by ordering drinks and appetizers. The appetizers came out first, while the meatballs and sausage and peppers were tasty they were both cold and the cocktails we ordered came out after the apps. We then ordered dinner. Glasses and dishes at our table piled up and it wasn't until I collected them all and put them at the end of the table that the waitress took them. Dinner came out, it was lukewarm at best and the 2 glasses pf wine we ordered with dinner came out after we were done eating. This was to be a special birthday dinner for my boyfriend and our children and I couldn't have been more disappointed. My intent was to have dessert there as well but we just decided to leave. I've added a picture of my sons burnt pizza as well.

Was one of our favorite spots in downtown since it opened, sitting at the bar, yes service was slow, but many places are understaffed. We ordered food as usual, however the vege pizza was dismal, mainly bread. We asked to speak with the manager, bartender said he was busy and comp the pizza. We actually just wanted to provide constructive feedback, so asked again and were told he his not available - are customers not important? We won't be back.

Pam and her employees were the rudest people ever. We made a reservation thru the phone and went there and she said she wouldnt take us for no reason and she cancelled in front of us. Horrible people and not even apologizing and wouldnt take us for their own mistake. Worst experience ever unbelievable

The service was extremely shocking and terrible. The Manager/hostess Pam was extremely prejudice and racist. We had a reservation then she proceeded to say we didn’t have one even though it was infront of her face in the screen, she cancelled our reservation infront of us! Ridiculous will not be going back.

Service obviously is NOT their strong suit - often slow per reviews, today it was just aweful. Honestly, probably the one of the worst experiences we've ever had. Definitely not a family-friendly establishment either. 22 month old was fussing because he was hungry when we came in. Before we could even get fully seated and calm him, our party of 8 was asked to leave (by the manager I believe). She then deliberately apologized to the people around us. To add insult to injury she turned to us and told us we were bad parents cuz we couldn't control a toddler. In town with extended family celebrating a wedding - puts a real sour note on what should be a joyous and happy weekend
