My husband and I treated our daughter and son-in-law for a birthday dinner after hearing rave reviews about San Marco. We found it expensive for the quality of food. It was good—not great. Our favorite restaurant is Hutches and San Marco was just not as good. We received bread on the table-no butter. There was olive oil and balsamic vinegar but no spices. Nothing special. We had wine and beer but were disappointed that they didn’t have cocktails. Our entrees were satisfactory. My veal was a bit tough but my husband’s venison was good. I ordered key lime pie for dessert but server returned to say they didn’t have any. All in all-ok restaurant but we won’t be returning.

I have not lived in Buffalo for 30+ years, but had the pleasure of visiting for a Bills’ game with a friend and client to whom I wanted to showcase the food here. We dined at San Marco and were greeted warmly by Frank. The welcome was rivaled only by the food and outstanding service. Everything from the special app to the pasta course to the secondi were excellent. Thanks Frank!

From the moment we walked into San Marco we had a warm, welcoming and wonderful experience! Service was attentive, friendly and fast, and the food was exceptional. A vast wine selection complemented our meals, and all of this for a very fair price. I would certainly recommend stopping in to San Marco, for any occasion, big or small, and am already looking forward to my next visit!

We love dining in the wine cellar room, delightful atmosphere. Food is usually impeccable, however last visit not quite as perfect. Great place to eat.

I've been going to San Marco for over a decade at this point and it's always incredible. I cannot recommend it enough. The food, service, and atmosphere are immaculate and everyone is so friendly and joyful.

Excellent evening out with friends. My wife and I along with another couple enjoyed a Friday evening dinner. The food was really good. Taste and nice portion sizes. The team of wait staff really knew their stuff and helped us make a few decisions. For apps we tried two different kinds of raviolis, they were awesome. We asked for extra bread to soak up the leftover sauces. Main courses we had two steaks and two veals. Really, really good. They were able to do a well done steak still juicy and tender. I love veal and I would recommend the one with the mushrooms. Great dessert selection and some unique ones. The multiple hours flew by. Great wine selection too! Atmosphere was also great. Felt exclusive. We did dress well, it was that kind of place.
Has the best and top quality food . The service is amazing! Atmosphere is so nice and cozy! The weekly specials are always a hit! The staff is so friendly and they only accept reservations through phone calls. Highly recommend this place!

Everything here is first class. Nice wine list. The staff is all first class. Helpful with menu questions, and attentive throughout the evening. This was our third visit and everything from salads to main courses to dessert was excellent.

Exactly what you expect as soon as you walk in. True authentic food, the dining room is full of laughter and good conversation. The banana pepper ravioli was hands down the best I’ve had.

Amazing food and service. I loved the Chilean sea bass and pesto risotto with scallops
