De Marco’s Restaurant

We are from out of town and we were starving. We decided on Italian, despite the fact Globes downtown is adorable. We stop in here and we are so glad we did. Homemade bread and the pizza was a amazing. The crust on this pizza was delicious. The waitress was awesome and attentive. I definitely would stop by if your in the neighborhood and try.
When it’s time to pay you just get up and pay, that was a little different considering we spent almost $ 50 for three people.
Lastly, the water was so good. I want to bottle it and take it with me!!!

Their pizza is great. Mostly fresh toppings, great crunchy crust, and generously sized. The only improvement I can suggest is to use fresh mushrooms instead of canned.
The fettuccini florentine is also very good.
The restaurant is clean with friendly service. It’s my favorite place to eat in Globe!

This is a good family-​run business. They have a simple Italian menu, but they do it right. The thin crust pizza is exceptional. They also make a very good salad.

Pasta was actually pretty good, penne with olive oil & pine nuts. Service was ok. Most of the menu is standard Italian. Building and furnishings are ok but slightly worn, just like the rest of Globe, AZ.

So good! Had a shrimp Diablo pasta dish and it was one of the best I ever had. Server was super nice too.

Without a doubt, the worst Italian food I have ever had. Bring Italian myself, I can cook circles around the cooks at this place. We ate here on our second trip to Globe and will honestly never eat here again. There were 8 of us and none of us liked our dishes. The chicken Marsala consisted of chunks of dry and tasteless chicken over some equally dry spaghetti… There was no Marsala sauce or mushrooms… The Alfredo shrimp Diablo tasted like some pasta, cream and taco seasoning with some microscopic shrimps… The list goes on… The food was just. Well, awful.

5 stars —-because— it IS deffinatly one of the best restaurants in GLOBE. This family business has also recently expanded, to offer a «sister» restaurant, with the same great menu, in Superior Az.
They have great pizza here by any standard. I love that they offer proper Greek toppings like GREEN OLIVES, spinach, fresh tomatos, garlic & anchovies! So unexpected in this tiny town! Dont worry — they also have pepperoni …
The pastas are also very nice, house made sauces (of course) and come with fresh baked bread & a deluxe salad (lots of «toppings», so ask if you are «picky»). They always offer a fish o’ the day, I can vouch that the salmon is worthwhile.
Then there is dessert. No frozen cannolis here! Crispy pastry& Freshly piped-​in filling, moments before it comes to you— also Lemonchello liquor in the cooler — am I in New York? Sometimes I stop in, just for the cannollis to-go.They also have about 6 – 8 Bryers icecream flavors, including Spumoni. They have beer wine & liquor too!
This restaurant is family run, always a family member is there, (maybe in the kitchen, tho) it seems they really care.
I guess my only suggestion would be, that the plastic checkerd (sticky) tablecloths seem «cheap». The amosphere says «cheap pizza parlour» but the menu prices & offerings say «fine dining».There are so few «special occasion «places in Globe — - this place could step up the décor/​lighting just a little and be a real place for a date& other «special» times. Maybe even just tablecloths& candles for holidays, like valentines day etc. Globe needs a «fine «restaurant —-this place is as close as it gets.

This is a surprisingly wonderful restaurant! The bread and marinara sauce are amazing. To me the sauce can make or break an Italian restaurant and this place does an excellent job. The atmosphere looks too casual for the quality of food they serve.

If you want pizza, this is the best place in Globe. They get 5 stars for their pizza. Except that they use canned mushrooms which is pretty gross.
If you want any other kind of Italian food, it’s kind of a crap shoot. Salads aren’t great (cold cuts are used for the meat in the salads). 3 stars for the rest of their food.
Plus they seem to be randomly closed sometimes when they are supposed to be open, which can be pretty frustrating.
Overall, 4 stars. Thanks for the good pizza.

Stopped on the way back from Lakeside. Clean and good smelling restrooms, warm welcome, attentive service. Food was great, everyone cleaned their plate. Serving size was on the large side. Fresh salad. We will be back. Stop in and have some good Italian

I’ve never visited their actual location but we order pizza from them sometimes at my work. I have to say, it’s probably the best pizza place in Globe! (You can tell we order pizza a lot at work). I like their pizza because it’s well-​seasoned and thin-​crust, which is my favorite combo for pizza. There’s not too many dining options in Globe, but I think if you’re in the mood for pizza, you should stop by here!

Sunday, January 19^th, 2014 We had the privilege of eating at DeMarco’s Restaurant for the 2^nd time in a month, and again we enjoyed a perfect meal with perfect service! The meals alone are to die for, but the homemade bread makes it all even more delicious! We can’t wait to go back again! See you all there! :-)

Used to be good. Now all pre packaged, no fresh ingredients, canned. We live in Globe and used to go often — not any more.
Edited 3−23−14. Changed to 3 stars because of really good hot sandwiches on just baked bread plus had a really good pizza there one day at lunch. I’d still hesitate to order pasta type dishes. Just has not proved to a good choice in recent months.

Not bad at all. If this were a different town then I would give it 3 stars. However Globe/​Miami doesn’t have much variety. The food is pretty good. Some times it is a little greasy. I have always had good service and the prices are not half bad either.

Stromboli. Isn’t that the name of the evil puppeteer in Pinocchio?
Other than the classic fairy tale, this was the first time I’ve ever heard of a Stromboli. So I asked our very calm-​mannered waiter what stromboli’s were about. It’s basically an inside-​out pizza.
What’s the difference between a stromboli and a calzone? (…insert your own clever punchline here since stromboli/​calzone jokes don’t exist. No really, I googled it.) From what I could gather on Wikipedia, calzones are stuffed pockets whereas a stromboli is rolled like a burrito. Feel free to comment if you have a better description.
Regardless of the various combinations involving pizza dough, tomato sauce, and vegetables, the Veggie Stromboli was a real pleaser! They have other varieties for you meat-​eaters and it usually involves cheese. But I was extremely happy with my Veggie Stromboli stuffed with broccoli, mushrooms, artichokes, and tomato sauce.
Points to our helpful waiter who confidently informed me that the pizza dough does not contain butter. Our waiter also had this interesting calmness about him. I was nearly fascinated! The restaurant was also unusually quiet for having so many people inside. Very twilight zone. Just an observation.
My only issue with the stromboli was that the mushrooms looked like the kind of mushrooms you get from a can. You know, it has a specific texture and taste from being stored in water. I not hating though. Still good stuff! Generous portion size so I gladly ate half of the stromboli and took the other half for leftovers.
When we were leaving, I remember seeing an really interesting margarita flavor on the board. I wanna say something along the lines of Chocolate Basil or Strawberry Basil? I wish I could remember. Not bad for the middle of nowhere!

Restaurant excels at heating up the stuff they buy at Costco. Everything tasted ok and was served hot (or cold for the salads), but from the meatballs to the raviolis, everything was clearly not homemade. If you’re looking for a change from fast food in both price and food, this is an option. Think I’d op for my own cooking next time.

The staff was good, attentive and friendly. The place is nice and clean.
But we can’t say much about their pizza. :(we got mushrooms on ours and they were from out of a can. Not fresh and sliced by hand. Please… Give me fresh ingredients!
We have not tried their other food. And it’s highly unlikely that we will.

My husband and I just got back from dinner at De Marco’s. We were very pleased!!! First off, we had a male waiter and he was fantastic! His service and personality were great. I was torn between 2 menu items and he helped with his recommendation between the 2. I had the chicken parmasean and my husband had the chicken marsala. The parm was delicious! Clean and fresh white meat chicken with just the right amount of breading on it. The sauce and cheese were delicious! My husband said his marsala was very tasty!
I also have to comment on the bread because it is CRAZY GOOD! I would go back just for that alone. I’m excited to try the pizza and calzones next time we go because the waiter said that same dough is used for those.
The atmosphere is cute. A row of booths behind a trellace allows you a great view of the place.
We will be back De Marco’s! Keep up the great work on the quality and freshness of your food! And our waiter should train the other servers because he was top notch!

Well… I tried this place based on the reviews and the fact it was one mile from my hotel. Let me start by saying the calamari tastes more like frozen over breaded deep fried rubber bands. The manicotti was pretty good and the bread they bring is great. In a small town like this one it will do in a pinch when you’re craving Italian. The waitress was very argumentative with an elderly customer over him admit tingly misreading the daily special board vs. the menu, kind of a turn off especially when it was only over four dollars. I may come back for other items but request a different server.
I’ve been back several times and other than the calamari and the one waitress, I’ve really enjoyed the food. I will continue to return.

A nice place to eat Italian, considering the population of the town! We were traveling through AZ on our way to NM, and stayed here overnight.
We had a half carafe of the house Chianti, which was very good. For appetizers, we had the fried calamari and shrimp cocktail. The calamari was superb, but the shrimp cocktail was warm and rubbery, like they just took it out of the freezer and ran it under hot water to defrost. They were small to medium in size. The cocktail included the six shrimp and cocktail sauce, but they were priced higher than the calamari. Pass on the shrimp cocktail.
Our main course was spaghetti and meatball for the wife and lasagna for me. Of course we shared. The meal came with a small side salad and two big, warm rolls with butter. Portions were ample, and we took some back to the motel, where we had a small fridge, for later. Both main courses were very tasy, but the sauce on the spaghetti was only average.
If you either live in Globe, or are traveling through it, and have a hankering for Italian, try this place, as we are sure you will like the food and the reasonable prices. Good, friendly service.
