Editor's Description
Last updated: June 22nd, 2009
Da Marco is a perennial expat favorite for Italian. Its simple formula -- inexpensive, decent Italian -- has kept it going for years. The menu is mostly pizza and pasta, with a few more ambitious mains, but generally, the simpler, the better. Great for a weekday meal; not so good for impressing a date.

Da Marco used to be one of my favorite restaurants in Shanghai. Its got great food and pretty good value for money. The waiters and waitresses are usually pretty good but lately there is one particular western woman (maybe a hostess or assistant manager) who is extremely rude to all customers and very unhelpful and its put me off going there all together.
For my money if I want Italian - I recommend going to Xujiahui Da Marcos (so you dont have to deal with her) or try Pane e Vino - great food, service and owners are super friendly!

Pizzas ain't really that good altho it does have nice environments. Besides, we ordered for steak and it turns out we have to wait for nearly an hour to have it served, and we had finished our whole plate of pizza while my next table couple has also finished theirs. Thinking the steak should be good after waited for a while, but turns out to be bad anyway. Well, not that it sux, but comparing to a real good one, pizzas and steaks here aren't really that up to standard. However the price are reasonable for the quality served.

This is a huge place, and packed out when I arrived. So we waited at the bar with a free glass of Prosecco and real snacks to nibble on (good cheese, chunks of salami).
Shown to our table in a big room full of a mixture of Chinese and western diners, with couples and groups of friends all enjoying the atmosphere.
Service was on point- wine arrived just as the (free) bread basket showed up, starters arrived quickly after ordering, main course arrived as they were clearing away the starters.
Chicken + Fennel salad (around 50 I think) was tasty, with loads of chicken and good flavours. Mussels and clams (48RMB) were delicious and plenty for two people to share, sausage and mushroom pizza (68RMB) was as good as any I've eaten anywhere but we just couldn't finish the last slice as the portions are so generous.
304RMB all in (Enjoy card 10% discount)- we were so happy that it was tempting to make a reservation for the next visit on the way out.

3 strikes and your out!!
Since they've renovated I have been back 3 times for dinner and all 3 times I had to wait SO LONG for the drinks and the food to arrive. They are obviously under staffed and the kitchen cannot handle the extra ppl that are coming through the door.
The place looks nice and the food (when it arrives is nice) but the wait is just uncomfortable!!
Sorry - not going back - too many Italian places to choose from which is a shame because I live right around the corner.
PS - the bald guy whos hosting needs a lesson in customer service.

After it was reccomended to me i decided to go during a froggy evening in Shanghai,
I arrived there quite Hungry and i left quite full,for the money i spent i would say its quite ok but i would never bring a date o my business partners there...i think its a good place whre you can eat when you alone and dont want or dont have money to spend for something better....or with friends in a eveniong that you just want to spend little money and go to sleep...service was ok ,food was value for money but as i said its a mass production canteen without any heart ....i have been in italy few times and a restaurant like this in italy would not survive one day.
i am not in a hurry to go back...

There is no sign once in the building on how to get into the restaurant!
We have to ask 2 different people!
Always damn crowded, up to me probably the best quality/price Italian restaurant..and I am Italian too!
Menu guarantees a quite wide range of dishes, never taste pizza though.
Wine glasses are good.
Having filipinos and indians waiters seems rather an odd decision, but it is not that relevant.

It is such a big challenge to finish the pizza but such a waste not to finish it!
Crowded, noisy & warmed restaurant, just like in Italy.
Desserts are disappointing.
