" DeMarco's is decent, but it didn’t live up to the hype for me. The marinara sauce on my pasta was not as robust as expected. While the place has a charming atmosphere, I felt somewhat overlooked by the waitstaff. I might consider trying their pizza next time to see if that fares better. " (*Curated Review*)

" DeMarco's has been one of my favorite spots to grab dinner for years. I've always felt like family when I dine here. The owners put in a lot of work to ensure everything is authentic, which makes the experience even better. I loved the riggies and the family portions, which are great for sharing. A little wait during peak hours is expected, but it's worth it. " (*Curated Review*)

" Tonight, we wanted to celebrate my birthday at a place I had heard great things about. DeMarco's did not disappoint! I ordered their famous eggplant parmigiana, and it was simply delightful. Soft, flavorful, and filled with high-quality ingredients. Our server was friendly and attentive, making sure our glasses were never empty. The only thing that was a bit of a letdown was the dessert; it felt a bit average compared to the mains. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had high expectations for dinner at DeMarco's based on reviews, but the reality was mixed. The calamari appetizer was fantastic—tender and well-seasoned. However, the main dish was underwhelming. I had the chicken marsala, which didn’t have the depth of flavor I anticipated. Still, the ambiance was inviting, and the staff was friendly. I'll return for another meal—hopefully a little more consistent next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" We tried DeMarco's last weekend and had the chicken parm and garlic bread. Both dishes were rich in flavor, and the seasoning was spot on! Our waitress was attentive and friendly, adding a nice touch to our evening. I would recommend making a reservation, as the place fills up quickly. I plan to return soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" I returned to DeMarco's after a two-year gap and was disappointed. The atmosphere still feels warm and inviting, but the food quality wasn't on par with my last experiences. My pasta felt overcooked, and the sauce seemed overly oily. Service was decent, but I might explore other options next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" As a long-time patron of DeMarco's, I can safely say that their family meal options are simply outstanding. The chicken parmesan is always a crowd-pleaser, served with a generous portion of pasta and salad. The atmosphere is generally cozy, although it can get a bit loud during busy nights. Highly recommend the garlic bread too! " (*Curated Review*)
