Have not been to this restaurant since it's opening.Decided to do a family dinner. The food was delicious,the portions generous and the waitress was very attentive and pleasant.I will definately be back. My only complaint is that, being a small venue the tables are a bit cramped.

Wasn’t pleased with the antipasto platter, the cube cheese was a cheap no name brand. Not good. And my Singapore Sling had no pineapple juice. You could of told me that, I would of ordered something else. Food was great, and our waitress was extremely friendly, great at her job.

Place was great to sit and eat was a little crowded for my liking,over all food was delicious and worth the price point and portions are fairly sized, service was awesome I like how they didn't ask how the food was while my mouth was full, service was attended not as I like had to ask most of the night but over all amazing I would recommend a nice sit down dinner here for a group or a romantic night out, food was out in a timely manner and didn't feel like I was waiting long I was most definitely full after my meal. Strong 3,given due to great food, good service and atmosphere. I recommend dinner hear you would enjoy yourself.

Rarely I give really bad reviews because I know how tough to run a restaurant. But the great reviews here from others set my expectation and got really really disappointed. The service was really good and I don’t want my review to penalize the waitstaffs. The appetizers focaccia and calamari were both great. But then my risotto was really horrendous. Super salty and chef made it super soggy. Risotto shows how good an Italian restaurant is and this one is a F. The clam pasta was just odd. Tons of bacon and oil (contrast to what a seafood linguine should be) and actually had no flavour (not even salt). They took out the charge of my risotto because I didn’t eat it and also let majority of the pasta there. I made sure I gave a large tips. Left the restaurant super irritated for a bad meal. Chef, need to do something.

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.

What a spectacular experience... I went with the salad and main specials of the day and added the San Marco escargot and my goodness was it all amazing! Service was top notch, and it turned out the owner Monica, was my attentive, friendly and gracious server, as she simultaneously bartended the full restaurant.

The meal from start to finish was amazing. We started with the antipasto platter, crab cakes and shrimp, French onion soup, bruschetta and caesar salad. The two veal parmesean were amazing. So was the manicotti and the chicken parm. The Italian fried ice cream rounded out the night with an espresso and cappuccino. I highly recommend eating here. Our server was the best also.

I love San Marcos. The first time I found them. My girlfriend and I were looking for something to eat during Canal Days. I was dressed in cutoff jeans and a Woodstock Tie die T-shirt. We were hungry and just happened to be walking by. We were welcomed for dinner despite my dress and served a meal. I have returned many times (Since and loved every experience.) The service has always been top-notch. I would definitely recommend it as a great date spot. Its not cheap, but worth every penny. You get what you pay for. See you soon, San Marcos Thank you for your service

May 22, 2024

I have lived in port colborne 2 yrs and was excited to finally try SAN Marcos. I ordered the veal parm and gnocchi with meatballs. The veal had zero taste , the sauce tasted like I was eating tomatoes. Gnocchi I could still taste the flour. Meatballs were alright. So disappointed.

We had a wonderful New Year s Eve dinner at San Marcos. Spicy Caesar drinks and Calamari to start. I had Chicken Piccata with fettuccini Alfredo as my main. Alyze had Scampi Linguine. Dessert was carrot cake for me and tiramisu and cannoli for Alyze. Our server, Shay, was an absolute pleasure. She also made us the best blueberry tea I ve had in a long time. Well done San Marco s. We will be back!

5 star PLUS! Authentic, fresh, absolutely delicious Italian cuisine with such friendly and efficient service (thank you Shai). We will be trying everything on their menu eventually but tonight we enjoyed perfect Caesar drinks, calamari (lightly tossed & fried), fresh/tasty Calabrese w/butter, Chicken Picata w/fresh fettuccine, Scampi Linguine, Carrot Cake, Tiramisu/Cannoli plate and perfect Blueberry Teas. The ambiance was very good so unlike the raucous restaurants in the bigger cities and we are so thankful for that you can actually enjoy your meal without screaming kids or extremely loud adults who find it necessary to talk at high volume. Thank you to all the staff and HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE! (Sorry but we forgot to take photos because we were so excited to eat lol).

I have been going to San Marcos since it opened, and have always highly recommended it, up until my last visit. I had originally started a review on the night it occurred and took it down, so a lot of thought has gone into this one. When we went on October 13, I ordered the exact same favourite dish I always order, I was very disappointed, I ended up not eating most of it. It was flavourless, and not nicely plated as it usually was. After questioning that the appetizer we ordered was actually the correct one, we saw very little of our waitstaff. I had gone with the intent of purchasing a gift card for a Thank you, but did not in case they had a poor experience. Has the chef or ownership changed? I have not recommend my past favourite to go to restaurant since. It has been suggested by some out of town friends that we get together to go, as I have always recommended it. Not sure if this is going to happen now. Wheelchair accessibility: It is wheelchair accessible to enter, but not really once inside as tables are so close together.

The food is good service was good but the portion sizes were terribly small. We had to go out after a $100+ bill for 2 and buy more food because we werent full. When I eat Italian food I expect to be full. Ive never left an Italian restaurant hungry after eating a chicken parm meal. The amount of pasta wasnt even enough to fill up a toddler. Wont come back simply because of the small portions. It doesnt matter how good the food is if Im not full by the end of the meal Im not satisfied.

Got there 25 minutes later and there it was waiting for me. The service was impeccable (think I met almost every server) and they were all super friendly. But now lets get to the food.....Again Awesome! Had the Escargot San Marco and they were probably the best I have ever had.

Good but not great and not authentic Italian. Had the French onion soups and it was good. The Eggplant Parmigiana was a thin slice of Eggplant breaded both sides and fried like Veal Parmigiana. Definitely not what was expected having eaten this many times in Italy. Wine (red) was very warm, not served at the correct temperature. There was no espresso machine - therefore does not qualify as an Italian restaurant. Not recommended nor will go back.

Absolutely amazing. Aside from the excellent food and service, the owners are incredibly sweet! My husband spilled his wine glass and they not only cleaned it up, but replaced it with a full glass of wine and offered to even make new food (not needed but they nearly insisted). Unbelievably sweet and a lovely experience. Highly recommend!

We had the privilege of celebrating our 25th Wedding Anniversary tonight (Oct 6) at San Marcos ... from the wine to the food and the excellent wait staff, including the chefs made our evening most memorable...our waitress & Laurie were very attentive and the food was amazing...if you havent had the chance to go and enjoy a wonderful evening of Italian Quisine, this restaurant is a must.

A small intimate restaurant at the edge of the downtown core. San Marcos provides you with lovely ambieunce and impecible service. What makes San Marcos stand out to me is the chef. I have to christen the chef the Alcemist of Flavour. On my visit, I had the Canadiana salad composed of mixed greens, cherry tomatoes, candied walnuts, onion, feta cheese with a maple reduction dressing. I could not get enough of this salad. The maple dressing really puts this salad over the top. Not over powering with maple, just enough sweetness to balance the feta cheese. My main was the Shrimp Stuffed Haddock. Fish is a very tricky dish to have in restaurants for me. Some chefs overcook the fish and you end up with a dry substance. The haddock was moist and flaky and the basil cream sauce was divine. There is a reason that I call this chef an Alcemist! The sauce really compliments the haddock and shrimp nicely. Not only in presentation, but also with flavour. The dish was served with roasted potatoes, brussel sprouts and carrots. I have to mention that I do not care for brussel sprouts, but I have to admit that the sprouts were delicious! This is a restaurant that I would recommend for special occassions, celebrations, and for people who love great tasting food. I have to say that I would love to see the maple dressing bottled for purchase. It was the show stopper for me.
