After a long rainy day of too much walking, too large of a lunch, and too much travel fatigue, we walked into Pizzeria San Marco on Tacito without a reservation. We had passed by several times, and the place was always packed with locals. By the way, there are two Pizzeria San Marcos. This review is for the San Marco in Prati on Tacito. The other one is across the river. They ushered us to a seat under a TV set with a game on. I loved watching everyone around me. There was so much going on, and it was very entertaining. Prati attracts all walks of like, and this San Marco is a neighborhood hang-out. Our pizzas were great, and the prices were cheap. The space is surprisingly large, with more seats on the other side of the take-out counter. Pizzeria San Marco - the one on Tacito - must do an incredible business during the warmer months with lines waiting for tables. In February, Pizzeria San Marco - the one on Tacito in Prati - is a local show worth attending. read more

We were starving after a long train ride to Rome, so we ordered a pizza. The pizza was really good, not my favorite but not the worst. The dough was very soft, the toppings were flavorful, and it was a very filling meal. read more

This is my favorite restaurant in Rome on this trip. Great dishes. Great service and lovely family atmosphere. My baked whole turbot fish is absolutely to die for. So tender, so succulent and so light! Our waiter is completely in disbelieve that I ate the entire fish! My family truly enjoyed their dishes too. We all voted this is our favorite of the trip. Service is prompt. Our waiter is very sweet. He takes me to the fish display and shows me my turbot fish. I am so thrilled once I know I am getting a whole turbot fish instead of turbot fish steak or fillet. He wears his humble smile all the way. read more

I have not been there for a very long time and now I remember why. I ordered the Lasagna, was told it was home made. It took a long time to come and when it came I had to send it back to be reheated because it was luke warm. I asked for a small salad but they did not have one to offer. The wine was good so that helped. I sat outside and that was nice because it was a pretty day. read more

Recommended by the front desk as it was walking distance from Hotel Isa as this establishment was huge and it catered to the tour buses from all countries as we dined here twice and both nights were packed but did not have to wait. Calamari fritto misto - lightly battered and had no oil residue which made every bite feel airy and the seasoning was on point Tartare Trio- a simple preparation of salmon/mango, tuna/avocado, fluke/cucumber; could have used more seasoning but a decent starter but probably could have passed on it Zucchini/Eggplant - This was a unique dish as the zucch's & eggplant were tender and was topped with a tomato based sauce that had chunks of baby octopus. Rice/Spinach Ball - an ok appetizer, simple preparation of a fried filled ball. Bruschetta - basic but clean flavors of fresh roma tomatoes and basil topped with slight drizzle of olive oil. Gnocchi- pillowy and so light, it was like eating air and with each bite it was a great vehicle for the perfectly made tomato based sauce that this dish was memorable. Spaghetti/Clams- another simple but packed a flavor bomb of the ocean as the fresh clams were plentiful as it sat upon a al dente mound of local spaghetti. Service was great and super efficient as the each dish came out quickly as the wait time and pace was perfect. read more

I came here on a family vacation in Rome. I looked on yelp for restaurant recommendations near my AirBnB and found this. Yelp did not disappoint. The servers were very friendly and attentive. The food was delicious. We ordered the Napoli Pizza, which apparently is a Margarita Pizza with anchovies. We also ordered a lasagna, fettuccini with bolognese , and calamari and tuna tartare for appetizers. It was a a tasty experience and would definitely recommend. read more

An excellent place to stop for lunch or dinner. Not only is the food consistently good but the hospitality is exceptional. Our waiter and the manager walked us through the menu when we unexpectedly showed up just as they were about to close for their own lunch break. They had no problem with staying to serve us and were spot on with their recommendations both food and wine. We ended up dining there three times while in Rome. Once for lunch and twice for dinner with another couple and once when our group tour started for the welcome dinner. Each meal was wonderful. beautiful antipasti, seafood, salads, pasta, pizza and so much delicious affordable wine! Nothing too fancy just delicious generous Roman food at very modest prices with friendly service. We were so glad to discover this spot. read more

It took over an hour for our food to arrive. The pizza I ordered was cold, and most people that got there after us ended up leaving before we took our first bite. Very disappointing experience. read more

It's an okay food. Calamari is a little salty. The spaghetti with seafood is good, tiramisu and caramel panna cotta is okay. Our waiter is always in a hurry. It's a little pricey. read more

Great service. Polite and patient with English speakers with three children. Pizza was great and the bruschetta was fantastic. Go get some. read more

Had to give one star because you cannot give zero. This is one of the worst restaurants, I've been in my entire life. The waiter forgot our ordered and claimed we placed an order. I have never had an experience like this in restaurant. Everyone from the owner to the staff was rude. To top it off the food was terrible. The staff was terrible. Overall, this is the worst experience I've every had in a restaurant. Stay AWAY..... the food they brought to the table was very salty. Worst food ever! read more

We are Americans on a pilgrimage with 206 Tours. Arriving a day early we asked the concierge at Le Meriden Visconti for a good place for pizza at 400pm. He recommended San Marco, and it exceeded our expectations! My wife and i had our own wine and our Own pizza ! I had the spicy Calabrese w sausage and she had the cheese and mushroom. The wine was local and delicious.... Very reasonable Price and friendly helpful wait staff . We are only here four days but we Will be back! read more

The ambience and delicious food made this a spectacular dinner. We had the prosciutto/mushroom crostini as an appetizer instead of an entree, which I thought was a great plate to share. The marinara pizza (remember, no cheese) was very delicious with the right amount of garlic to make it flavorful but not overpowering. Their specialty white pizza with ham and tomatoes was also delicious! The interior design is quite lovely and seems to be a great fit for large groups or just for a date night too, and the staff was very polite as well. It seemed that most of the customers here ordered pizza, but I would love to come back here again to try some of their other entrees! read more

Great Calzone ! Wonderful customer service. Wine selection was great and food came out pretty fast. !

We were sent to San Marco by our hotel. We found a lively, engaging place. Without a reservation we were welcomed and sat at the bar and enjoyed some prosecco. Within 10 minutes we were shown to our table. Our server, Antonio, was energetic and charming. The highlights of our meal were the prosciutto and melon and the porcini pasta. We felt welcome throughout the evening and enjoyed our experience very much. Ciao! read more

Nice restaurant we stumbled onto when making it back to our hotel. Upon being seated the waiters were kind enough to let us browse the menu before being seated. We were seated in a cute little spot by an open window inside looking onto the street from the front of the chic restaurant with an opposite view inside the kitchen. I not only was able to smell our delicious pizza being made but also see it being put into the stone wall brick oven. A treat to see. Our pizza was delicious. Don't forget to embrace the Italian culture bye eating your pizza with a fork and knife. read more

We were told by our hotel Concierge that area (where we found San Marco) is where the locals eat, and his recommendation of the neighborhoods north of the 'Castle of San Angelo' (a must visit) was perfect, which is how we found San Marco. There is a beautiful park north of the government building with tall palms as well, nice area of town just off the river site seeing places. Our English wasn't fully understood by the servers, so my wife's 'lemon pasta' request was delivered as the pasta with mussels on top, but was still absolutely delicious. To their credit she did change her order from something else to the lemon pasta after originally ordering, so his confusion was understood and not all his fault. Eating outside on the sidewalk was perfect, the bruschetta, and my lasagna were beyond my expectations. I wondered how American lasagna would compare to lasagna in Rome, and I can tell you if the San Marco version is a Rolls Royce, the American version is a 10 year old Chevy sedan. My San Marco lasagna was totally different yet totally familiar. All of maybe 3/4" inch high rather than the 3" high slab one might expect in the US, this lasagna was layered with thin, delicate, light, home made layers of pasta and tomato sauce you could taste the freshness in the first bite. Gooey, cheesy, but no knife needed - really quite perfect. Of course you have to remember in Italy traditionally and as presented on the menus in the local places (not so much tourist restaurants) that we've found, pasta is always course 1, and the meat is course 2. For us, we had the rice ball - rice, cheese, spinach ball about 2 1/2" around rolled in pancho bread crumbs and fried, and the bruschetta, so our pasta filled us up, not 2nd course required. At another place for instance, I had a pasta for course 1, and chicken parmesan for course 2. In the US the chicken would come either on spaghetti or the pasta would be on the same plate on the side. In Italy you eat pasta first, then (in this example) the chicken parmesan is served by itself on a plate - no pasta on the side, just maybe a couple of 1/4" thick potato slices on the side. I think the bill was $40 Euros or so, about what we'd pay for lunch in the US. Also would add the use of bucatini pasta in so many pasta dishes really makes the dish - Bucatini is a thick spaghetti that is hollow on the inside, and the sauce clings to the pasta, which enhances any pasta dish - my wife's mussels/pasta included. The staff was helpful, responsive, intuitive, even with some difficulty understanding English. The food was so very good. read more

Food, service was wonderful! We got there late and they were inviting and didn't rush us, recommend even for a late night bite worth it!

I was so reluctant to try this place. First because it was close to my hotel and how can a place close to my hotel be good? And not to mention another yelper deciding to post their selfie at the coliseum as the profile pic for the restaurant ( I never understood why yelp allowed that??) Anyhow it's Sunday and my choices are limited here, so off I went and to my surprise the place the place was bustling with locals! And after trying their food I can cfm the food is solid food and return worthy! Most importantly they are friendly for tourist like me and they treat everyone equally!!! No sitting fee, no tourist service fee! So put your guards down at this place and enjoy the pizza because it was great! read more

San Marco, we visited twice, once for lunch and we liked it so much we came back for dinner. A very rare five star..... The location is a little off the beaten path but worth the trip. Personal service that made us feel above welcomed-off the chart attention during busy holiday hours. The meal the food ah yes. Where do I start: One guest ordered an egg pizza I would have never tried it but it was great and my son polished that off with one of the best Tiramasu in the city. I had the pesto pasta, we ordered the cheese and meat appetizer with the bottle of vino featured on the pic. Guests were seated outside but we choose indoors. Also a pizza with a salad on it was enjoyed by my wife and my other son had a bowl of three cheese pasta that was a special and it was very special-I ordered it myself the next visit. read more

For me San Marco is more about the ambience than the food. It has a very warm feel to it and the bright yellow awning over the sidewalk patio really brightens the area. On Via Tacito there are several restaurants, San Marco is one that always seems bustling, but you don't need reservations. We had pasta dishes when here and they were OK. I had a mushroom ravioli and it was absolutely swimming in mushrooms - which is fine, expect you kind of want a balance of flavor. I also seem to remember it wasn't that hot, maybe it sat out a while. Service was a bit slow, but it was all fine, just nothing outstanding about it. read more

This pizzeria was only 3 blocks away from our hotel (Le Méridien) and was recommended to us by one of the receptionist at the front desk. Fortunately, they were open the night of the 24th of December (which a lot of restaurants would not have been since it is considered a holiday in Rome) and I had the croquette de patate (potato) as well as the bruschetta with fresh mozzarella and arugula. After the appetizers (which I would only recommend the bruschetta, since the croquette was not worth the cost in my opinion.) I ordered the Bufalina pizza (which I went back to get again last night because it was that good, along with the Margarita) and Lila ordered the Bolognese pasta. Both were good, but the pizza was the better of the two in our opinions. Definitely a go to for pizza, they are usually always open until 1 AM for those of you craving those late night munchies! read more

A longtime pizza lover, I was eager to try a Roman pizza. Walking around the Prati neighborhood near our hotel on Friday evening, we decided Pizzeria San Marco looked like a good choice. The restaurant was very inviting with both outside and inside seeing. We elected to sit inside. Prati is not a section of Rome with an overly amount of tourists. It was apparent that there were both locals (families and individuals) aa well as out-of-towners dining here. (The menu was multilingual.) A neighborhood place, nicely appointed. Service was prompt and accommodating. I ordered a pizza La Salumi, with prosciutto, salami, and sausage. It was delicious! Thin and crispy crust. Portion just right for an individual meal. My wife ordered a Margherita pizza and enjoyed it as well. We shared a gelatto for dessert. Italy does have the world's best ice cream! read more

We came for easter sunday lunch, it was so hard to look for an open restaurant that would accept customers that when we saw the numerous vacant chairs outside the restaurant, we knew we finally found a spot. Unfortunately, they recommended to sit inside since they were low on staff and didn't want customers unattended. We agreed and waited around 10minutes for a table of 5. We ordered off the Menu di Pasqua and I got the Cannelloni all' Emeliana. It was really good! The portion was so huge, but I managed to eat everything! Haha Order house wine instead of water, coz its cheaper, plus its better. Its wine! As for their regular menu - they have a pretty good selection, it would've been more enticing if if their menu had pictures, but I guess its a Italian thing? Because all the other restaurants we went to didn't have pictures on their menus either. I recommend this restaurant to anybody visiting the vatican city. It is a little far from the Vatican and the wait is a little long, but its totally worth it. :) read more

We have been staying in Prati on a family trip to Rome with 6,8 and 20 year old kids. We went on on a Sunday night at 8 and it was pretty empty when we sat down. Stomach time! Ordered pizzas for kids and and the older one had a pizza with egg plant, zucchini and some other interesting odds and ends. Pizzas were good this place is known for its Pizza and they were some of the best we have had in Italy. Wife had some pasta with salmon which I wish I had after trying it and I had pasta Bolognese which was good, nothing super special. I has a great fantastic bottle of wine from Piedmont for 40 Euro. They have a large selection organized by region and proper wine cooler for the goods. Bottles priced from 20 to 100ish so you can decide what damage you want to do to your bank account. Desserts where good and family of 5 and everyone was stuffed with good food and spirit. Our waiter Sebastiano even warmed up to us and the kids once he realized they were legit foodies living the dolce vida in Roma with dinner starting at 8PM which is not the norm for them. read more

Visited based upon reviews and following a crowd of about 20 patrons we were excited to have lucked upon this establishment. The servers were great and spoke English and high made ordering easy. Decor nice, prices are reasonable for Rome yet I found the food mediocre at most. I am accustomed to the "service" fee per patron yet was told it was the cost of the complimentary bread we enjoyed. Not the smartest yet the definition of complimentary does not coexist with a service charge. Because of his attempt to lie (let's call it what it is) at Most three stars. read more

We ordered lazzania and rissoto. The rissoto was too salty and the lazzania was cold. We asked to get a warm lazzania and they got us one that wasn't looked like lazzania but something with tomato sauce and cheese. We don't recommend getting this near this restaurant. It's looks like they bought their scoring. Very disappointing !!! read more

Being vegan with limited food choices, I had the best penne arrabiata in Italy at this restaurant. The sauce was very nicely spiced and pasta was al dente. Overall, an excellent dish which I still crave! I was here with a group of 7 for lunch and we still talk about this place and how great the food was toward the end of our 2-week trip. The kids had a bolognese and a burger. Pizzeria San Marco provides overall excellent service and food. The decor was appropriately upscale casual and air conditioning thankfully worked well in the sweltering heat of Rome. read more

First time having gnocchi. It was good. Wish they had some sort of shrimp gnocchi for me to try. Their tiramisu was ridiculously delicious. Service was good but could have been better.
