What an interesting evening. My party of three arrived at 8:30 (closing time 9:00) to meet our…read morecolleagues for dinner after a long day at work. Within minutes more of us arrived until we filled the upper room. This seemed to overwhelm the gentleman waiting on us. The first sign was when we asked if we could move the tables closer together. This disturbed him greatly so we ended up just talking within our smaller groups. We then ordered drinks and appetizers. A 2021 MASSERIA LAVEL Italian red wine was nice. First bottle was perfect. The second was around room temperature so could have been chilled a little. We ordered a nice bruschetta plate and an antipasto plate for the apps. Bread was nice and crisp with fresh toppings. The antipasto plate contained a wide variety of items that had something for everyone - a variety of meats, cheeses, shrimp, mushrooms, etc. For my main dish I ordered the grilled fish platter. GRIGLIATA DI PESCE Fischgrillteller aus Lachs, Garnelen, Tintenfisch & Fischfilet des Tages It contained calamari, giant prawn, grilled salmon and a white fish. It came with a salad on the side with a nice balsamic vinegar on top. This was the perfect addition and balanced nicely with the fi Comments from my coworkers were mixed - pizza was good - lasagna was good but had very little meat - the risotto was actually just rice. While the food was very good, the waiter was very insistent that we order in the correct order: drinks, appetizers, main. One in our party requested another appetizer after the main was ordered and was told "NEIN!" My colleagues we surprised at the rudeness but I guess when you're this highly rated and it's after hours, you're entitled to doing things a certain way. While I thought the meal was worth it, that may be off putting to you. I think I now have a story to tell - great meal and a "soup n@zi" (Seinfeld reference) for a waiter.

Ok I'll admit, after traveling so much in Germany I was getting tired of all the pasta and carbs. I…read moreactually love pasta a lot, but it was getting to be a bit too much. Food (4/5): First time I came here I was super disappointed. The gnocchi I got with the tomato sauce was not up to par on the gnocchi I had at Gioia. I think I expected something similar and when it didn't meet my expectations it made me extremely disappointed. Then the next time I came I got this pasta with tomato cream sauce and salmon and it was DELICIOUS. I was so much happier with my choice the second time. I realized that the tomato sauces here are too sour for my liking, I'm more of a cream or white sauce type of person. They also have these AMAZING complimentary bread rolls with these really creamy and yummy garlic butter spread! Service (3/5): service was decent, nothing special or anything about it. Exterior/Interior (4/5): the restaurant is pretty big and there's a lot of seating inside and outside which is super convenient!

I really missed these flavours but fortunately I could find them there. then we ordered a Pizza Capricciosa and a Filet steak. Both simply divine. The filet was perfect. most important stuff: we went with a gutschein-buch, and the quality was very good and the price veeeery modest, confronted to the prices circulating in Düsseldorf. My compliments to this place. I read most negative comments about it: is it maybe because you're too exigent and really look for the minimun defect? I'll bring there my complete team office, as soon as I can!

Great wine selection. Our Party had a variety of their selections. We started off with complementary bruschetta which was flavorful. The appetizers we experienced were fine. The Escargot, Lamache al Burro was buttery and plain lacking the garlic one would expect at a Italian eatery. The Prosciutto di Parma was basic tomato with fresh mozzarella and Parma Schinken. The entrees were basic and uneventful. Salmon teller with broccoli, kleiner kind. The großer L Pizza Diavolo was tasty and scharf. Next came the lasagne searing heiß aber kleiner große S. Fresh noodles homemade. The Nachtische all looked gut. Our party went for the Zabaglione, Wein Creme mit Vanillin Eis. All accounts were very positiv. The Kellner brought Grappa and Lemoncello shots for an aperitif. The consensus of the group was San Marco was serviceable but not in top tier. Geburtstag location do sure.
