Great restaurant!! Good italian food, affordable prices!! By the way the subway station near the restaurant is Jiang su road, not Zhongshan park.

I went there with my foreign students.Good Italian food with reasonable price although it was crowded. I think i will recommend to my other students if they like Italian food.

This is the benchmark of all Italian food in Shanghai. You can't beat the prices and portions combined with the consistent quality here. There is an excellent spread of items and there is something for everybody. The service is good and the wine prices are very reasonable. Clearly this is a place where the boss wants you to enjoy wine and dine without breaking the bank.

Both times I've eaten here, this place has been packed. And I'm always surprised to see so many Italians dining at DaMarcos. It seems it may be more authentic than we all thought. Even the Chinese hostess speaks Italian. A friend recommended steamed mussels and clams as an appetizer. Delicious. We split a large salad of endives and mixed greens and had a couple draft beers while gorging on sea bass ravioli and baked lasagna bolognese. The whole meal came in under 300 RMB. Not bad. I'd go back again in a heartbeat.

I don't know where City Weekend gets it's price estimates from, but I've just eaten at De Marco and the price was more than Y400 per couple, without including the wine (which was another y200 per bottle). Having said all that, I don't consider this restaurant expensive. Complimentary bruscetta and assorted breads and olive oil were served whilst we considered the menu. We shared 2 appetisers, Insalato Misto and a veal with tuna sauce, 2 mains, Sea Bass ravioli with prawns and fresh (cherry) tomato sauce (tasty) and Osso Bucco with saffron rissotto (very cheesy and salty but not much saffron flavour), plus a side of mixed grilled vegetables. Followed by 2 desserts, pear tart with ice cream and Tiramasu (yum, yum!). All washed down with a bottle of Riparosso Montepuluciano d' Abruzzo. The flavours were generally authentic, the service was mostly good ( I could see a black pepper mill at the service point, but none was offered when my meal was served). Unfortunately, as a late booking we were placed on a table in an area which strongly resembled a corridor, so I can't really comment on the atmosphere, ambiance etc. other than to say it seems like a popular place.

hmmmm... always liked this place. Especially before they changed their menu.

So last night: Apps carpaccio: nice portion, fresh roquette underneath, generally good. salad caprese: the mozza was ok, the tomatoes were complete and utter crap, flavourless mush. Basil was equally flavourless. (a dousing of olive oil and a sprinkle of flaky salt over both apps would have been very welcome) Mains pizza: good crust, decent toppings. meat tortellini in 4 cheese sauce: this used to be a favourite. This time the meat filling was unpleasantly granular and had a strange flavour. The pasta exterior was tough, as if it had been cooked a long long time ago and then insufficiently reheated. They screamed poorly treated frozen industrial tortellini. The cheese sauce that used to be so uncutous was, well, not unctuous any more and significantly less cheesy. Dissapointing.

adequate italian food, though the pizza was horrible. the vitello tonato was quite nice, the wine was quite nice for very reasonable prices. they had an ok breadbasket. service is good. in europe this restaurant wouldn't draw much attention, but in shanghai this is about as good as it gets for italian food.
