FOOD: A good-sized collection of Italian standards and pizzas. Everything we ordered was quite tasty. For drinks, they had several beers, but wine seemed to be just carafes of house red or white. The house red was perfectly serviceable. SERVICE: The waiter handling the sidewalk tables was friendly, funny, engaging, and responsive to our requests. He would be hard to improve on. AMBIANCE: The restaurant looks clean and professionally managed. We sat at one of the sidewalk tables, which were nicely set but suffered from constant foot and vehicle traffic passing by, including at least two emergency vehicles, sirens blaring. Not to criticize emergency responders for running their sirens, but be aware of the possibilities when answering if you want an indoor or outdoor table. NET-NET: Good food, reasonably priced, great service, clean glassware -- I'd be happy to go back there again.

The menu was wide-ranging and had something for everyone in the group. Prices were very reasonable, like an Aperol Spritz for 6 euros. Everyone enjoyed their meals immensely.

The pizza was not great, the crust was too thick and doughy. The salami was not spicy for a Divola and was disappointing. I would not recommend this establishment.

We had dinner there on our last night and sat outside on a warm September evening. The seating was tight and we were sandwiched in between two other friendly couples. A locals birthday party was taking place at the next table with 20+ people, so that's a good sign. The service was good and wine fairly inexpensive. I had the fungi pizza which was thin and crispy. Husband had baccala (cod) and enjoyed it. Would recommend for a casual dinner in a cute neighborhood.

Homemade noodles with the perfect al dente consistency makes all the difference. Several of the times we came we actually saw the woman in the front of the restaurant making the noodles. Great selection of red & white wine. We actually ordered a case of the house white to have shipped home. Top 5 tiramisu that I've had in Italy. Service and management is exception. We became rather frequent patrons, so we got to know the waiter and manager well.

If you don't count hole in the wall pizza places with no place to sit down that will sell you pizza…read moreslices, Pizza places in Italy are full service restaurants. You can get pizza but you can a whole range of Italian dishes as well. San Marco is a midrange pizza-and-everything-else place in Ludovisi. Ludovisi has tons of upscale expensive and worth every penny restaurants ... And tons of coffee-at-the-counter-or-at-a-sidewalk-table utility cafes. Both types of establishment are wonderful. Midrange places are harder to find. San Marco shows that the middle of the road can be a great place to be. * * * San Marco is actually two adjoining restaurants right next to each other. They get a gigantic businessmen's lunch business. (There are all sorts of banks and foundations in the neighborhood.) So at lunchtime - both sides of the establishment are packed. At night, they close the right one and only open the left one. That restaurant has a large sidewalk space and then multiple rooms one after the other inside. So even at half capacity, they can feed a lot of people. I was originally put off when in the middle of my meal, A large tour bus parked in front of the restaurant and about sixty people got out to eat. This is normally a huge red flag for me. This is one of the few cases I have found where having a tour bus business is NOT a sign of mediocrity. When I thought about it - I already knew that local businessmen who know their Italian food flock to this place in droves for lunch. And the establishment certainly has the room to feed several tour busses. The rest of the crowd around me was locals. So I turned off my "Tour-Bus-Alert-Alarm" and just enjoyed life. I got a five star meal out of it so I can't complain. * * * It doesn't matter that I had sausages and peppers. For what it is worth, I have yet to find an American style "Italian Sausage" anywhere in Rome - and I have had plenty of sausage. Maybe the fennel based sausages we get in the States are a Neapolitan or Southern Italian thing. The sausage I had was the texture of an Italian sausage but with the plain simplicity of an English banger. What differentiated it was a) an amazing char job on the sausage b) pork that was far tastier than any pork you get in a sausage in the U.S. And by that I mean pork that tastes like pig. C) really really good peppers did not hurt the dish, and fresh arugula goes a long way to counteracting the fat in your sausage. d) add charred rye bread to soak up the juices. I was a happy boy. * * * Why do I say that it doesn't matter that I had sausages and peppers? Because the menu at San Marco is absitively posolutely ginormous. It is huge. Pages and pages of pizza. Pages and pages of non-pizza. There is not a common Roman dish you can think of that is not on their menu some place. So the odds of you coming here and getting sausage and peppers is less than a jillion to one. But plenty of people like the other stuff on the menu. Frankly, I am going back to this establishment the day after I write this review because I saw a jillion other things I wanted to have. Look at the other Yelp reviews and you will see praise for many other dishes besides the sausages. Pizza gets a lot of love. * * * I found amazing things to eat all over this fantastic city. I encourage you to eat in as many different places as you can. (Write Yelp reviews about them while you are at it. Nudge. Nudge.) But if for some reason, you just had to eat at San Marco and only San Marco for your entire stay. You would not do badly. You certainly would not run out of new things to experience.

I would never go back again…read more My friend & I were walking all day over Rome and I remembered eating at a great pizza restaurant in the area. Sadly this was not the one. We sat down at a nice outdoor table & ordered a half carafe of the house Pinot Grigio. Served at a lovely lukewarm temperature. Bread was placed on the table but I know from previous visits to other Rome restaurants it's not complimentary. 2.50€ per person. Did not touch it and asked them to take it away only to find it on our bill at the end. Luckily when paying the cashier & informing him we did not eat any bread the charge was removed from our bill. On to the food. My friend ordered the cacio e Pepe. It didn't look too appealing & the portion size seemed small. My bucatini with mussels was excessively oily. The size of the mussel meat in the shell was very small. I will say the staff were all very pleasant & the restaurant itself is nice looking. But I won't go back.
