I’d heard whispers that Osteria San Marco offered private course menus and bespoke dining experiences, so I decided to see for myself. I opted for the six-course chef’s table, giving only a few requests: an all-seafood theme (save for dessert), a risotto, and an octopus dish.
From the moment I stepped through the door, I was impressed. My private table was beautifully prepared, service was seamless, and within minutes the first course arrived. What followed was nothing short of extraordinary: 1. Velouté de Homard, Crowned with Fire-Kissed Jumbo Prawn A luxurious lobster bisque, velvety and rich, punctuated by a perfectly grilled prawn. 2. Risotto di Capesante, Basil Essence & Garden Aromatics A standout of the evening—silky risotto, balanced al dente bite, kissed with basil, and finished with scallops seared to absolute perfection. 3. Mediterranean Ahi Salad with Blueberry-Ricotta Mousse A refreshing contrast, vibrant and inventive, marrying the richness of tuna with a playful sweetness. 4. Polvo à la Telha – Heritage Portuguese Octopus Perhaps the highlight of the evening. Octopus is notoriously unforgiving, yet here it was sublime—tender, flavorful, and elevated by the rustic clay-tile tradition. 5. Grand Plateau de Fruits de Mer A dazzling display of the sea’s bounty, beautifully presented and executed with finesse. 6. Blueberry Cheesecake with Chocolate Mousse & Peach Coulis A perfect finale—decadent yet balanced, fruit and chocolate dancing in harmony.
Special recognition must be given to the execution of the scallop and octopus, two of the most notoriously difficult ingredients to master, and yet both were prepared with flawless technique. The risotto deserves equal praise—velvety, aromatic, and easily the best I’ve had in years.
Unlike some multi-course menus I’ve experienced elsewhere, where $200–$300+ has left me both light in wallet and still hungry, Osteria San Marco delivered in both quality and satisfaction. Each dish was thoughtful, generous, and beautifully portioned.
They say pictures are worth a thousand words, so I’ll let my photos speak for themselves—but truly, this was an unforgettable evening. Osteria San Marco has secured itself at the top of my list for fine dining in Wainwright

Definitely a hidden gem in Wainwright. Our food was fresh, tasty, and authentic. The owner was incredibly kind and we appreciated the complimentary cured meats! Can’t wait to go back.

Literally the best pizza I've ever had in my life. The people are so kind. I send everyone who comes to the museum asking about recommendations to San Marco's!
Phenomenal food every time we go, great atmosphere and excellent service!

Would be sure cool if they’d answer the phone once in awhile so I could order take out. Goodluck trying to get ahold of them 😂

Ordered 2 pizzas from here. The Canadian one and the San Marco special. Both were delicious, crust was crispy and fluffy, toppings and cheese was a good ratio. They were very friendly and had the pizza done in under the quoted time, loved it! Price was good, cute little restaurant too. Would eat here again!
Great food and service
