It's a charming family feeling place with a delicious food, relaxing music, outstanding and warm service. They take a great care for your kids! Coming there is like coming to your old friends' house or to your parents. The menu is not big but gives enough options. Desserts are delicious too. Totally recommending this place to have a great time. Coming back soon.

Really impressed! We were a group of 12 people and everyone really enjoyed their meals. Being vegetarian, I was happy with the many choices available to me. The service was great, the food was great. If you're looking for a quaint Italian restaurant, this is your place. Can't wait to return.

This restaurant is a gem! It’s a family-run, authentic Italian place with a great atmosphere/vibe. The owners and their staff were amazingly attentive and super-friendly. We haven’t enjoyed a dining experience like this in a long while. Will definitely be going back!

Rediscovered this little restaurant since ownership changed. I was also satisfied before as well. Firstly, the staff was friendly and inviting and you got the feeling that it was a family run business, which was great! They were attentive to customers and the wait time was not long. Food was delicious! Ordered an entree of Calamari (cooked to perfection, not rubbery and very fresh) Then had a pizza (margherita, very flavorful) and the pappardelle with bolognese sauce (pasta was perfectly al dente and the meat sauce melted in your mouth) Unfortunately, we didn’t have dessert because we were stuffed and had somewhere to be. I would definitely go back for the food and to encourage this local family business! Awesome food and hospitality! With the lack of restaurants in RDP, I’m happy this one is a gem!

Would give 3.5 but no half point. We were initially happy to have found an authentic italian resto to eat with group of friends and kids. The appetizers came out quickly and were very tasty! (Arancini, polpette, rapini sausages, stuffed pasta). However, we we waited close to 1 hour for the main dishes without much transparent update from service staff. Kids were getting impatient. The dishes finally came and were good. The signature fungi egg pasta dish could have been enhanced by adding different mushrooms than the regular white one. Maybe our orders were mixed up with another or delays in the kitchen but keeping the customer postef would be appreciated.

We reserved last minute and came in to a packed house (call in lieu of reserving online if youre booking last minute). We were grateful for the free drink while we waited to be seated. We ordered the arancini and calamari to start. The arancini are the best weve had since travelling to Sicily and the calamari are crispy and delish. Hubby ordered the linguine Pescatore which was fantastic. The penne arrabiata was also good but I like my sauce a little more spicy but the extra peperoncino made it perfect! Service was outstanding; will definitely come again! Happy to have found an excellent, authentic Italian resto in RDP.

It was my birthday on April 26th and my girlfriend called San Marzano to reserve for 4 people. She asked whomever answered the phone if they make a little birthday cake to celebrate my birthday and that person answered of course we do. Well we were there last night and at the end of the meal my girlfriend asked where the cake was. One of the owners by the name of (Gino) said and I quote.... I cant afford to do that to my clients. I cant compete with places like Prima Luna. Well after spending over $350.00, that was a slap in the face. Thank you for letting us know where to go to next time (Prima Luna) Shame on you Gino. Even a cheap Deli restaurant would have at least took out a mini cake with a candle ($5.00 worth) and make their clients happy. You just lost 4 clients and many of their friends and hopefully other people who read this. Thanks for not even wishing me a happy birthday.
