Stopped in to buy two sandwiches for lunch came to $38 for two chicken cutlets one on each sandwich total rip off was very unhappy with tax and tip over 40 bucks. The sandwiches were small and one thin cutlet on each sandwich would never...go back again.More

Wow! This place was amazing. Don’t believe all the bad reviews. I had lasagna and my husband had the butternut squash ravioli. Both were awesome. We left stuffed. Staff was awesome as well. Price was about normal these days. I didn’t think it was too...high for what we got. I can spend $30 at a fast food place for the two of us or get a really good dinner for a little more. Would definitely go back and eat here again.More

So glad I went there. Have gone over the years and it's very consistent in quality of food and service. So glad they added the bar area it's added another level of service.

Wow- can’t wait to return. We had chicken scallopine, which was tender chicken in a delicate lemon caper sauce. It was delicious. This is always my favorite dish in Italian restaurants, and this one was excellent. My husband’s spaghetti bolognese was equally wonderful. The wine...list is nice. We sat outside on a warm night and enjoyed people watching. I can’t forget the homemade bread, but we needed more seasoned olive oil with it. Our server, Cam, was so efficient and freindly, yet unobtrusive. Very professional. We did make a reservation in advance. We will be back asap. San Marco is an excellent value, because the food, service, atmosphere, and experience in total is what restaurant dining used to be and is supposed to be. We spent just as much on a mediocre experience at a tourist trap on the pier.More

We went to dinner at Ristorante San Marco last night and a mixed experience. Pros were our friendly server, complimentary focaccia bread (yum), butternut ravioli, and the clam linguini. The meal was expensive for average Italian food. The pesto burrata appetizer was disappointing as the...heavy breading and frying the burrata overwhelmed the pesto and the cheese was not as creamy as expected with burrata. The most disappointing was the pappardelle bolognese. The sauce was under seasoned and the pasta overcooked. The noodles were all broken and gummy— no sign of al dente preparation. Definitely not anywhere near what you’d expect for such a classic dish.More

A very nice evening. Food is excellent. Service was prompt and friendly. Beautiful new bar. Eclectic atmosphere. Two minor issues-new bar needs to be stocked with better variety. Clams appetizer was phenomenal but had a few too many unopened shells. Neither issue negatively impacted our...time at this restaurant.More

We had a lot of anticipation since it had been so long since we visited. The visit was not good. Over priced and worse. Customers are paying for expansion and redecorating apparently. The Italian shrimp toast was dreadful. Soggy bread, advertised as ciabatta, was covered...by too much cheese which hid the tiny shrimp. Arancini was in the same category. Smallest serving in all of our recent experiences in Sarasota and Venice, and the most expensive by far. The rice ball itself was mushy and had little substance. I don’t see how the restaurant dare serve these two appetizers. Dreadful. The only positive for our visit was the service.More

Service was fantastic and all meals were among best we've had in Sarasota area. We had ravioli stuffed with butternut squash and a Seafood Mix with Grouper, Shrimp and Tuna. The seafood mix was enough for two of us to split. The grouper and shrimp...were good and the tuna was phenomenal. The ravioli's were tried by all and were a big hit. A pear salad to start was also shared by all to rave reviews. Even the bread we started with was unique and wonderful. These owners pay attention to details. From wine selections to salad additions to the bread and even the side vegetables, all was first class! I use a wheelchair and was welcomed and given a warm spot inside. The restaurant is bigger than it looks online.More

Absolutely the worst experience possible!! My dinner was delayed do some sort of kitchen issue. Fifteen minutes after all in my party received their dinner, I was told mine would be out in a minute. Several minutes later a women nervously yelled at me that...I needed to “order something else!”. I indicated that I would need to see the menu to make another selection. I started to look to make another selection. All of a sudden my meal arrived! Of course my wife and the couple we were with had finished their meals. The young, obviously inexperienced waiter was very apologetic. I asked if the manager was available and who was the woman who yelled at me.He sheepishly said “ the owner”. I was flabbergasted! The meal was ok. When the bills arrived I felt that I needed to let the owner know how unhappy I was with the situation. I waived her over and was again made to feel like I had done something wrong. I spent 42 years in the customer service business. I know how guests should be treated. My wife and our guests were made extremely uncomfortable and nothing was done by the OWNER to mitagate the situation. Very sad !!More

I ordered the chicken scallopini and roasted potatoes and vegetables. The potatoes were underdone and under-salted. The lemon-butter sauce on the chicken was oily and unappetizing. The others in our party said their food wasn’t very good. We ate at this restaurant last year and...the food was good. IWe don’t know why but the quality has gone down hill.More
