My wife and I had dinner there last Sat. May 18 and it was wonderful. Inside it's like a house with 3 rooms that provide a cozy atmosphere that is simple and elegant. We were greeted by Frank, one of the owners who showed us to our table. The menu was great and offered enough choices to make it interesting... More

I know this is a top rated restaurant and I (we) will try it again. A special occasion event (anniversary) left us high and dry because of the lousy service - not lousy but rude.

Finally went last week with my family and truly enjoyed a great meal with excellent wine menu that is reasonably priced. Superb northern Italian food with plenty of specials to choose from. Pricing was just as competitive or cheaper than most others in the area. Make reservations ahead if time since they always seem busy.

Beautiful atmosphere, very elegant yet cozy. Authentic Italian host, attentive friendly waitress. Great Italian wine. And now the best part...the food! Truly delicious meals. I had the ravioli appetizer and fucilli entree. They taste so different than anything I've ever had, a wonderful unique combination of flavors. Definitely one of my favorite restaurants in buffalo!

From the moment you enter, you realize you are in a special place. The owner provides a welcoming greeting and escorts you to your table. The specials are just that, special. The wait staff is top notch and the ambience second to none. The food is fresh and delicious from appetizer to entree. We had a wonderful table and a... More

We decided to eat at this restaurant last weekend when staying in the area. We were a bit hesitant since my husband family is from Northern Italy and we are used to eating not good Italian food, but great Italian food. This restaurant did not disappoint! The Bolognese sauce was to die for! Just like it tasted in Bologna! No... More

This was my second visit to San Marco in 2 months. Both times I was very impressed with the excellent quality of the food, service, and ambience. Our party of five ordered all 3 of the nightly appetizer and entree specials. All of our dinner selections were expertly prepared and delicious. The waiters are unobtrusive and professional. Unfortunately, at both... More

On a recent Sat. night, our party of three had a great dinner here. Two of us started with an appetizer special of the night - a pasta dish with braised oxtail. It was fabulous! Two of us also opted for an entree that was a special of the evening - sea bass with a delicious pesto cream sauce on... More

Excellent restaurant service and food are the best in Buffalo, not pretentious but delivers quality at its highest standard. I move from the Toronto area a few years ago and this restaurant rates with Toronto's best, yet much more reasonable ,its worth an hour drive just to eat at this establishment.
