Awful location, awful food, service was primitive and the price you pay for the pap was laughable. What can one say ? Lost for words how this got any decent reviews..

This place is so wonderful! The food we had was wonderful as was the service, helps that the waiter looks like Jim Bowen! I adore authentic Italian and this place just oozes that authenticity. The restaurant itself looks like nothing too special but the food and service more than makes up for decor! If you can go mid week they... More

Cannot fault the food or service, everything was delicious and recommendations were all spot on. Even a dish that wasn't on the menu was magically prepared.

Following a recent first visit to Italy, San Marco was my restaurant of choice for a special birthday dinner. It is well known in the area for great food and a friendly atmosphere. Every meal in Italy had been excellent and I wondered how San Marco would compare and I'm delighted to say I was not disappointed. Everyone gets the... More

We were staying in the area at Arden Forest Spa and chose to dine out for the evening, not being local to the area we checked trip advisor for a well rated Italian and came across San Marco. Rang at half 7 and secured a table for 8.15. This worried me as on a Saturday night we thought that we... More

I can't say any more than what has already been said!! The old style waiters - true!! The food - true.. I don't think it was too expensive, just the sort of price you would expect.. Food was excellent, service was fantastic; if not a little quirky! (which added to the experience!!) and would definitely go again if I lived... More

I have been to San Marco's twice. I was a bit hesitant at first to visit since I was a bit put off by the area, but believe me this place is so worth it. The staff are old school Italians, extremely friendly, and incredibly hospitable. They will definitely make you feel welcome. The food is exceptional and probably the... More

As another reviewer has said, this is far and away the best restaurant in Coventry, and as a group we eat here at least 8 times a year (on each of our birthdays). It isn't cheap but the main courses include veg, and the food is wonderful - the steaks are to die for. The waiters are great blokes and... More
