Da Marino seafood restaurant in São Paulo
I booked a table in advance on Google Map, and surprisingly, it was easy to reserve – done in just a few steps. I arrived exactly at 7 PM on a weekday, and there weren't many people; I could sit down directly without waiting in line. The overall environment of the restaurant is dim, with warm yellow lights hitting the dining tables and wall decorations, creating a low-key and lazy atmosphere that's perfect for quietly enjoying a seafood meal. Let's start with the most anticipated lobster pasta🦞! Before serving, the waiter will bring the fresh lobster over for confirmation – they said it's weighed, which is quite honest. If you're not satisfied with the lobster you chose, you can also change it on the spot, which is quite thoughtful. However, maybe due to language barriers, communication was a bit of a hassle. In the end, the lobster was served in a platter with other seafood, and the tomato pasta was served separately. To be honest, the presentation isn't as stunning as the photos on Instagram – it's a bit less delicate, which was a small letdown🍝. But the crab pasta didn't disappoint at all! This was the dish I was most excited about before coming~ The pasta is coated with a light cream sauce, silky in the mouth but not greasy at all. There's plenty of crab meat, and it chews with a savory seafood flavor. Every bite combines the crab meat and pasta – it really lived up to the hype, definitely the highlight of the meal🦀! The lemon dessert at the end was quite interesting. Taking a bite, you can taste the alternation of hot and cold textures – it's definitely novel, but I probably won't repurchase it. The ice cream or cold cream inside gets a bit after eating too much; instead of refreshing, it adds a bit of a burden. Overall, I still really loved it😍! It's definitely among the top seafood restaurants I've eaten at in Brazil, and I've quietly added it to my "restaurants to revisit" list~ #CarpTask #HiddenGemRestaurant #RestaurantRecommendation #AtmosphericRestaurant #Cuisine #FeastForTheTasteBuds #RestaurantsToRevisit
