Sao Paulo Mediterranean restaurant "DA MARINO"

🍋 DA MARINO: São Paulo’s Mediterranean Gem for Lemon Mousse & King Crab Pasta Finally checked off this bucket-list spot—came for the lemon mousse and king crab pasta, left obsessed with every bite! Here’s why DA MARINO is worth the splurge in Jardim Europa: 🌟 Must-Order Highlights (Prepare to Drool) Caviar Shrimp Burger: Plump, snappy shrimp in a fluffy bun with creamy cheese—zero greasiness. 🍤 Downsides: Mini size (two bites max), but flavor makes up for it. King Crab Pasta (Dreamy, But One Flaw): Rich, aromatic sauce with surprisingly tender crab meat. 🍝 Only gripe: Pasta was slightly al dente for my taste—ask for extra cooking if you prefer soft noodles. Lemon Mousse (5/5 Stars!): Layered perfection: white chocolate-lemon shell, tangy mousse, pineapple jam, and green tea-cocoa crumbs. 🍋 Server pours raspberry sauce tableside—sweet-sour heaven, not an ounce of 💥 Mixed Reviews: Calamari & Octopus Fried Calamari: Crispy exterior, but chewy meat—good for strong teeth only. 🦑 Creamy, minimalist sauce cuts through friedness nicely. Rosemary Grilled Octopus: Tender enough, but side eggplant was tough. 🐙 Solid, not spectacular—skip if you’re ordering other seafood. 💡 Visit Tips for First-Timers Price Point: R$250+ per person, but portions (except the burger) are generous. 💰 Ambiance: Cozy, romantic vibes—perfect for date nights or special occasions. 💫 Order Strategy: Share the calamari as a starter, focus on seafood mains, and never skip the lemon mousse. 🌟 Final Verdict: Worth It for the Lemon Mousse Alone Go if: You’re a seafood enthusiast (king crab pasta is a game-changer) You crave creative desserts (that lemon mousse is SP’s best kept secret) You want Mediterranean flavors with a modern twist DA MARINO delivers on ambiance and standout dishes—just come for the king crab, stay for the life-changing lemon mousse. 🍴✨ #SaoPaulo #Brazil #MediterraneanCuisine #SeafoodLovers #DAMarino 📍 Address: R.
