MARK MENDOLA – D’MARCOS ITALIAN RESTAURANT & WINE BAR
401 S. Main St., Rochester, MI 48307 |248-759-4951 |dmarcositalian.com
Enjoying fresh house-made pasta, Neapolitan pizza, and a glass of Amarone is one of the joys of life, says Mark Mendola, owner of D’Marcos Italian Restaurant & Wine Bar. The modern neighborhood anchor restaurant at the corner of Fourth and Main streets in downtown Rochester is a daily gathering place. Local employees, families, and friends come for everyday meals and special occasions.
Mendola says staying on top of trends while consistently elevating quality is important for restaurant success: Guests come for what’s new and keep returning for their favorite dishes.
“We incorporate trends and tradition — our butternut squash ravioli with maple cream, cranberries, and walnuts is incredibly popular.”
Mendola invested significantly in D’Marcos’ recent contemporary renovation. He also invests in the community.
“In the end, we have each other and community. I firmly believe in my role to serve an affordable, delicious Italian meal where community can come together and just enjoy life.”
