Ok this is a great Italian place. We were traveling and wanted pasta . Loved that it was casual and came because of the amazing reviews. We were not disappointed. So service is absolutely amazing. They work hard at being attentive and making sure you have an amazing dining experience. You are greeted like family and they really want you to love it. This is sooo RARE and special so they get a my vote. The food was good to very good, One pasta was over salted for my taste but that is likely just me. Crab cakes, bread, and other pasta was very good. Salads decent- not special but good. Cannolis were just ok. Overall place is amazing mix casual and cozy. Please go and keep these nice people in business. Will come again. read more

We have been here several times and each time it just gets better. The food is delicious. The service is on point and outstanding , and they are very attentive to your needs. The wine is very reasonably priced and pairs well with the meals. We will definitely be back ! read more

Outstanding service and delicious food. Excellent price-to-portions as Mare e Monte strives to satisfy your appetite. I had to try appetizers, main course and dessert. Their Italian cuisine is delicious and gives me a sense of fine dining... but with bigger portions. They' were in the process of getting their ABC certification so bring your wine until then. They'll pair your wine with their menu items. 4 stars for my initial experience here. Their 5th star is coming as soon as they offer their wine selection... of course this is after they get the ABC certification. The owner takes pride in his business. I'm sure his wine list will not disappoint. read more

Best service I have ever had at a restaurant. The quality of the food matches the service. I recommend the Sole Oreganata, it was fantastic.

I ordered pick up from this restaurant while visiting my aunt who lives in the medical center. Everyone was so warm and welcoming even with just a pick up order. While it's a smaller space the tables were filling up and it wasn't too loud, like many newer restaurants. We both ordered the lasagna and it was delicious and what we both needed. In terms of the take out order everything was packed securely and stayed warm until we ate it about 30 minutes after I picked it up. The servings were large and we both had enough for another meal or two. I know my aunt loved it and will order again. I'll be sure to stop by again when I'm back in San Antonio soon. read more

I watch Texas Eats interview with the owner of this establishment and was impressed. So it was our wedding anniversary and I told my wife we're gonna check out a new restaurant. Let me tell you the waitress Salma was awesome and very helpful. We ordered the calamari and the Adriatic shrimp, oh my that dish is sooooo delicious! The owner (Prince) kept making us feel at home and we appreciated that. We ordered the Pollo Bronx Parmigiana and the Sole Oregenata. Both of these dishes were superb with a tasty flavor. We really enjoyed the atmosphere and food, we will be back for sure! read more

My girlfriend and I visited from out of town for my eye surgery. This place is a godsend. EVERYTHING was incredible!! Prince, the owner, runs the restaurant with flawless efficiency. It's nice seeing him walk around checking up on people and chatting with them! He's hard to miss; he's very tall with a contagiously outgoing and sweet personality. The veal and tiramisu were TO DIE FOR. If you're traveling and get the chance, do yourself a favor and eat here. You will not be disappointed. Ask for Gabriela; she's the sweetest server in the world! We're extremely satisfied with our visit; PLEASE let this establishment flourish for many years to come! read more

Upon walking on the decor is elegant and nicely lit . As it is Christmas time they had lots of beautiful decorations to go with the theme . The staff was extremely attentive and kind to my family as well as my one year old son . There was a decent amount of people and the food came out very fast ! The owner came to greet us and was extra warm and kind , you can tell he genuinely loves what he does . We ordered the meatballs as a stater and it was bursting with flavor . We ordered for the main chicken Parmesan and it was so moist and fresh . They complete the dish in front of you and pour the cheese table-side oh my how fresh and authentic ! read more

We spent my husband's 58th birthday here last night and the food and service was impeccable! The owner, Prince, is a whole vibe! He makes you feel like family and shows so much gratitude for your visit. The food is next level, I mean everything my lips touched was amazing! My husband had the lamb chops, seasoned to perfection! My sister n law and myself ordered the Sole. The light & crispy seasoned fish is on a bed of the best creamiest risotto you will ever taste! My brother had the chicken or veal (forgot the name) with a huge meatball on top that was gone in a blink of an eye. We also had the Calamari all'Arrabbiata, I didn't get a pic but just order it and thank me later. You MUST try this restaurant, even if there is a wait, it is worth it! 10 out of 10, wonderful experience! read more

Found this gem of a restaurant on Yelp. Family owned with great food service, and extensive wine list. Though we had a short wait it was well worth it. Veal Picatra was delicious. All in all, it was an exceptional meal and would highly recommend it. read more

Great food, pleasant atmosphere friendly service really good appetizers entree and of course desserts recommended to anybody and everybody

Food was outstanding and service was top notch, haven't had a dining experience that good in a very long time!

This was our first visit, and we were blown away. The restaurant is small and cozy, decorated for the holidays, and has a warm, welcoming atmosphere. Even though the tables are close together, it adds to the charm and feels like an authentic, family-run spot. The service was outstanding. Our server checked on us regularly, and the owner came by multiple times to make sure we were taken care of. He was incredibly kind, genuine, and made us feel like part of the family. On our way out, he even opened the door for us and wished us well, small gestures that really made the experience memorable. The food was excellent as well. The lamb chops were packed with flavor and extremely tender. Everything tasted fresh and homemade. Overall, this was an amazing hidden gem, and we will absolutely be coming back for the exceptional hospitality and truly authentic Italian food. read more

Mare e Monte - Caprese, Asparagus, fresh bread and oil to start. - Italian Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

This place is amazing! The location and size definitely does not do it justice. The food was delicious, the staff was super friendly and attentive. Constantly checked in on us and made sure our drinks were filled and we did not need assistance. The restaurant is working on obtaining their liquor license so for now wine is free, which I can't complain lol. I had such a good time and can't wait to come again to try out other entrees. Everything tasted incredible. No complaints. read more

I'm a frequent traveler for work, spending over 100 nights/year in the road. I came here mainly as it was one of the closer restaurants to the hotel and I'm glad I did. Service was exceptional. From the hostess to the server to the owner who greeted and spoke with everyone in the restaurant at least once. Food was fantastic. I had the steak which was tender and cooked perfectly. Presentation was top notch as was the taste. Finished the meal with the blueberry cheesecake. Great choice! Do yourself favor and stop in and give this place a try. You will be glad you did! read more

What a find! We visited based on the overwhelming great reviews being posted about this place on a restaurant group we follow. From the moment we walked in tbe door, the service was outstanding. The food? Wonderful! The staff and owner are doing a wonderful job of making this place taste and feel like a restaurant in Little Italy, New York. We enjoyed the calamari arribiata (spicy, tender, and a stand out), the veal Bronx and the mare e Monte ravioli. Sauces were top notch, veal was tender and cooked to perfection. Go there. Soon. Enjoy! read more

The food was delicious! Gressa provided great and friendly service, and the ambiance is warm and cozy with a comfy vibe.

It's hard to find great Italian food in SA. I've been chasing authentic Italian food ever since my trip to Italy in October 2024. This place is the closest thing to the food I had there, absolutely delicious! The service was great and I believe the owner was walking around and checking on customers. The place is a bit small but the ambiance is welcoming and cozy. We'll definitely be back. read more

This was my first visit. I took my mother after her doctor appointment which was close by and had heard nothing but good reviews. The staff were very friendly and accommodating. We ordered (split) the Caesar salad and also split the main course Orecchielle di Terra. AlPasta in a tomato sauce with homemade Italian sausage , onions, garlic, broccolini and roasted peppers. Both were delicious. The ambiance and cleanliness of this environment was great. We will definitely be back. read more

Overall, I won't be returning or recommend it to friends. The space has more charm inside than the pics on here present or as one might predict from outside. Fairly small dining room that wasn't noisy on our weekend lunch visit, which I appreciated. It was a lunch menu, but I did also look at their full menu online. It's the usual traditional Americanized-Italian, which isn't a complaint. Just don't expect any cheffy creations here. Most importantly, let's start with the food. No soup on the menu. Odd. We had the Carciofi al Tartufo, which overall was fairly bland. The artichokes weren't charred at all as "grilled" would imply. Could barely detect the promised white truffle oil. Also had the Insalata Primavera. Just a simple salad and nothing noteworthy. I had the Pasto al Nero for entree. The flavor overall was tasty. However, when first delivered my shrimp sitting on top were half cooked and translucent to the point of inedible and probably a danger. How does a cook and server not see this? And the server acted surprised and repeated back to me, "You think they're undercooked?" (more on the service and communications later) Um.... Are you blind? And the pasta was overcooked and mushy to the point when you attempted to twirl it on the fork it would just break apart into short strands. My tablemate had the Pollo e Monte, which I didn't taste. She liked it but said it arrived barely warm. The service experience was frustrating and definitely put a pallor on the meal. It wasn't from lack of attention, which was fine. First off, the server's accent was very thick and exacerbated by him speaking very low and mumbling his words. I got half of what he said. Communications was very difficult in both directions. I ordered a bottle of rose wine and stated my selection. He didn't understand. So I merely pointed to it on the menu. Fool proof, right? Nah. He came with the bottle and presented to which I said that it wasn't the one I ordered. He points to one word "petit" on the label that matches, and try's to convince me it's the same. But it was from a different winery. Again he tries to convince me but I say no and decide to switch to a Chardonnay. I pick one out and tell the server but again he can't understand what I said. So again I point it out on the menu. While on the topic of wine, their wine selection is lacking. The reason I didn't switch to a different rose in the exchange above is that the only other option is La Vieille Ferme Rosé. It used be be a box-only wine if that gives you an idea. It has recently begun selling in the bottle for $9 at HEB. They wanted $30 for this swill. Given the prices of the dishes, the wine selections are unbalanced. Appetizer: $17, Chicken entree: $26, Pasta al Nero w/ Shrimp: $33. (33!) When ordering the salad, I said that I would have it to "start". To which he immediately asked if I wanted it before the entrees. Um...Yeah. We only had made it through maybe half our salad when the entrees arrived. This restaurant has no clue about pacing based on this and my tablemates cold dish. His table service was awkward. He moved my water to make room and put it at the edge of the table where your elbow spends about 80% of its time ensuring I'm soon to make a mess and felt cramped in. He moved the oil for bread to the farthest edge on the opposite side of the table from us. In general, he was always in the way with table efforts and awkward. But of course at this point with all things combined every little detail is building on negativity. It's rare for me to have such a big gap between a yelp rating so high and low experience. read more

5/5 service, decor and food perfection. Came for Valentines and had a beautiful lunch!
