Excellent value for money in a fine dining setting. Ingredients are fresh and everything is prepared in house. Decent wine list. Service efficient and friendly. A notch above similar restaurants in the region!
A great time out on the patio enjoying delicious pasta - can’t ask for a better Sunday night get away for dinner. Highly recommend both the fettuccine monaco and the chicken parm!
Had dinner with friends tonight and it was wonderful! Lori is a very good server, professional and friendly. Our food was delicious as well. I had the Canadiana salad and I have to say it was one of the best salads I've ever had! We have been here many times and have never been disappointed. Highly recommend! ( make a reservation as they are quite busy!)
Friendly staff, romantic atmosphere and delicious food. My wife and I celebrated our anniversary here with a 5pm reservation. She ordered the Gnocchi with meatballs and I got the four cheese lasagna. Both items hit the spot and so we enjoyed them very much. The restaurant offered us a complimentary tiramisu cake to celebrate and that was a very nice gesture - thank you! We will visit again the next time we are in Port Colborne.
I visited San Marco's for the first time last night with 3 friends. I absolutely loved the experience. I had the escargot which was perfect and so cheesy and the Veal Aldo. I have to say this dish was one of the best meals I have ever had!!! I will have to come back just to order this again and again. The atmosphere was wonderful and everything was reasonably priced. Thank you for a wonderful dining experience. Ciao!!
