Everyone in our party was very pleased with their food and went home with leftovers. GF pasta was delicious.

We wanted a local family owned Italian restaurant for dinner before a high school football game and this place hit the mark. Food was delicious and the service was absolutely the best. Our waitress was new but she did a really good job and the extra help who come and refill drinks, take away empty dishes, etc. really do great and make the experience that much better. Good job supporting each other! And thank you for a good experience!

No gimmicks - just high quality, tasty Italian food! We stopped by the other day and had the eggplant parmesan and a square pizza. The red sauce on the eggplant tasted like it was made from tomatoes picked just 5 minutes before being placed in the pan and served - so fresh and tasty! The pizza was made the way my mom and Nonna made it, in a cookie sheet pan. And delicious :) Look forward to visiting again!

Demarco’s Italian Restaurant is a true gem in the community, and it’s no surprise that it’s a local favorite. The staff is incredibly kind and attentive, always ensuring that every guest has a wonderful dining experience. The cozy, inviting atmosphere makes it the perfect spot for a family dinner, a date night, or a gathering with friends.

Pardon my French, but, MY GOD! I have finally reached the holy grail of Italian restaurants in the Capital region. The meatballs, garlic bread, and pizza were incredible. If you're not here for Italian food, you are in the wrong damn place.

Our waitress was very friendly and personable, we asked if we could get meatballs as an appetizer, even though they aren't listed, she was very accommodating and kept us up to date on how long they were taking because they are homemade and were worth the wait!! Would definitely recommend!!

We've gotten take-out from this restaurant several times and always enjoy the meal. A few months back, I made a reservation for a party of 9 to do a gender reveal dinner for our parents and siblings. It was our first time eating in the restaurant and they did not disappoint. They were more than accommodating for our large group and even kept our gender reveal cake in their refrigerator until we were ready to cut into it. They made us feel like family and took the time to celebrate with us. We very much appreciated the service and as always the great food. We will definitely be dining in the restaurant more often and hope to take our baby girl here once she arrives.

Love the value of the family chicken parm dinner! Delicious and easy! Order to pick up takes about 40 minutes.

Our new place to go. We did the family meal takeout. It was delicious, everything was great. We even added meatballs and sausage, plus canoli's for dessert. The price was more than reasonable for the amount of food. Top notch all the way!!!

We had a Big Holiday Dinner for our shop here. The food was excellent! Everyone was very happy with their choices from appetizers to desert. (and drinks too) Our waitress & the rest of the staff was great! Special shout out to the guy from the kitchen who went above and beyond & helped me get into my car after closing. (My locks were frozen!) Thanks for a great evening!

I come here so often because how good the food is that they are familiar with us and where we like to be seated when we dine in! The bus girl from Greece is so nice and friendly and I always look forward to seeing her and speaking with her when I go here. The owner is also a very friendly guy with a great attitude. The bread is made fresh and absolutely delicious! I love their balsamic vinaigrette dressing it is the best I’ve ever tried anywhere! I am vegetarian and order the chicken riggies with no chicken almost every time I go that’s how good it is! My fiancé orders the same pizza Everytime we are there because he loves it that much and eats the entire thing while we are there. It can get a little slow on busy nights but that is expected when there’s a lot of people dining in not to mention all the orders for delivery. It’s worth it though! If you have the pleasure of dining in at this place I would definitely try the bruschetta and the chicken riggies!

Their family chicken parm meal is great. Nice salad, delicious bread, cookies and cannoli. Great local small business with great service and quality.

Food was good, Chicken Parm and Chicken Alfredo. Served hot from the kitchen. Both came with a side salad and bread. Our only complaint was that it took nearly one hour to receive our main dishes, 40 minutes to receive our salads and it was not busy and there were several open tables available during our entire visit. I'm not sure what the issue was that caused such delayed service.

Our family was warmly welcomed into DeMarco's Italian Restaurant as we celebrated a gathering from Massachusetts, North Carolina, and Florida with members from 5 to 75 years old. DeMarco's was the perfect place for this gathering with its diverse menu and warm, accommodating service that allowed us all to enjoy each others' company and get caught up with family. Everyone ordered something different and all declared themselves satisfied, from the pizza to the chicken cutlets, to the veal, to the scampi.

This is a restaurant like on your next door, cozy and friendly warm atmosphere you can feel at home. The server was really nice and friendly, and the portions of food is so big! One meal is like for two people. The reason for 4 stars is because the pastas we had a little blant and less sauces. We needed to use salt.

First time visit. Companion and I had dinner and drinks. Greeted warmly, promptly seated, met our waitress who took our drink order and gave us enough time to look over our menus. Companion ordered an eggplant dish and I had the “Winter Pasta”. Both meals were delicious and portions were beyond ample (to go portions). Companion ordered the house Merlot and I had their 19 Crimes red blend. High marks for both. Give DeMarco’s a try. They have a great chef in their kitchen. 2 👍 thumbs up. Bob & Anne 😋

Demarco's is a very casual traditional Italian restaurant. I was happy and surprised to find out I was there on a Tuesday which happened to be a Chicken Parmesan special night. Salad, dinner with pasta for $11.99. The salad was very good, fresh mixed greens, red onion and cherry tomatoes. The dressing was clearly homemade, I had parmesan peppercorn and it was rich and creamy and delicious! I asked for rigatoni for my pasta without tomato sauce and asked for maybe some butter and olive oil. They really delivered, it was in a buttery garlicy oil with a hint of crushed black pepper. What a nice surprise. It was also delicious. The chicken parmesan was a very juicy large breast well seasoned and breaded and cooked perfectly. The top was layered with a lightly browned mozzarella and dusted with parmesan. I usually like my parm thin and crisp, but this was so well prepared, tender and juicy inside with that golden mozzarella on top, what's not to like? We also had some greens and beans, it had large chunks of bacon, beans and greens. I highly recommend this but keep in mind it's a huge portion, we had some left overs. The waitress was friendly and attentive, we never waited for anything and she was very busy. Good stuff, we had plenty of leftovers!

I just called this restaurant to place a big catering order worth thousands of dollars and the girl who answered the phone was so extremely rude. Told me she was busy and hung up on me. It’s too bad they just lost my business. I cannot believe they would have someone who answers the phone like that. I’ll take my business elsewhere.

I recently ate at DeMarcos for the first time. 5:30 and the place was packed. I thought that was a good sign. It took a long time for a wait staff to come to our table. She wasn't very friendly. Only one person ordered wine. The rest of us had water. The wine arrived after quite a while. Then another wait to have our order taken. The food arrived quickly. The pasta dishes with our meal were not very hot. One companion had asked for extra sauce but it was not brought with our meal. No one ever came to our table to check on our dinners. We did notice that the wait staff spent a long time chatting with customers that were regular diners. We finally asked the table busser for more sauce. After waiting , again we asked the table busser for a dessert menu. It took a long time again for the wait staff to take our order for dessert. The food was good, better if it was hot. The service was terrible. We will not go back.

Saturday Sept 21 we decided to go to Demarcus for dinner. We had been there a couple of other times and always had good food and service. This was not to be tonight The waitress, Sue, waited on us. We were cordial and polite to her. Our meal was not good We did not complain we just didn't eat the macaroni. It was very very hard. I had asked her for well done macaroni. When we were done she came over and asked if we wanted a box and I told her no the macaroni was very hard So brought me the check The gentleman sitting next us turned to me and said the macaroni was hard. At that point she turned around to me and said. You don't have to talk to your neighbor and complain. I told her he started the conversation. She was the worst, rudest arrogant waitress I have ever had. She basically started treating me not very nice. We will not be going back to your restaurant. I wouldn't want someone like her working in
