  “The food was ok. I asked for my steak medium rare and it was medium well, I mean its not the end of the world and I still ate it but for that price its got to be spot on. The mussels had a lot of broken shells in the sauce which spoilt it a little. The serving staff were really nice, they missed 2 meals off our mains by accident so they took them and the soft drinks off the menu which sorted out any issue. It wasnt overly busy and I think the kitchen have just had a bit of an off day. Will defo try again as the place is lovely and the play area outside is great for the kids”

  “​We had a fantastic dining experience at San Marco. From the moment we walked through the doors, the atmosphere was warm, welcoming, and vibrant. ​The food was exceptional—authentic, beautifully prepared, and packed with flavor. Every dish felt crafted with genuine care and high-quality ingredients. ​Equally impressive was the service. The staff were wonderfully attentive without ever feeling intrusive—seamlessly striking the right balance of friendly hospitality and true professionalism. ​San Marco continues to stand out as a top-tier Italian restaurant near Preston. We’ll certainly be returning soon and couldn't recommend it highly enough!”

  “First time experience. Varied menu and a fantastic Italian wine list. Staff were helpful. We did experience a delay between courses but apologies seemed genuine. Starter's were generally good but mains were only "nice".”

  “Just been here. First time in about a year. Will not go back. Got our main meal- was told by the manager he would go and get some Parmesan cheese - then stood chatting by kitchen area chatting to the chefs so I had to ask for the cheese. Asked for the dessert menu/ no one brought it so we just got up and asked for the bill. No one asked if everything ok. I’m a very generous tipper usually but felt they didn’t deserve anything. Very disappointing and it was for my friends birthday so sadly I wished I booked elsewhere! B”

  “Absolutely ⭐️ Here’s a polished, natural review you can post: Had a lovely experience here tonight. The staff were absolutely lovely, attentive and welcoming, and the atmosphere was warm and wonderful. I ordered the steak butterfly and well cooked with mash and veg, and they cooked it exactly how I asked – which I really appreciated, as some places can be funny about cooking steak well done. It was delicious. The wine was also amazing. I didn’t like the first one I tried, but they recommended a second one and it was absolutely gorgeous. Great service. I’m gluten-free, and they were very accommodating with that too. My only small downside is I wish they offered gluten-free pizzas, as that would make it even better and I’d visit so much more. Overall, a really lovely restaurant with great food, lovely staff, and a fantastic atmosphere. I’ll definitely be back. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

  “Lovely atmosphere and attentive staff. The food was excellent with lots of choice. Portions are large with starters being very filling. I had Pollo Diane for mains which was first class. Lots of desserts are available as well so there is something for everyone. Recommend.”

  “A group of 10 of us (adults and children of all ages) went for a family occasion. Booked from one day to the next and it was no problem at all (we did go early at 5pm). There was plenty of free parking on site. Food and service were impeccable - my daughter wanted to have a Biscoff biscuit that came with someone else's coffee. The waiting staff were happy to get her not one but three packets so the guest didn't have to give up theirs. A meal at San Marco is definitely on the menu when we are next in Southport/Preston.”

  “Visited as a table of 6, on a Saturday evening. Very busy, which meant a good atmosphere in the restaurant. Food was excellent. Service was a little slow, probably due to how busy it was, not to the point where we were bothered by this.”

  “Beautiful decor but 2 large dining areas with tiled floors which are very noisy when there's a few people in with chair's scraping on the floor and voices echoing off the walls. It's very hard to hear my friends speak 😕 Food was OK we all had pizza's but I've had better, I found my vegetarian one (£13.90) a little bland, and boring, just the usual veg ie. Aubergine, courgette, onion and peppers. It was supposed to have asparagus but I couldn't see any, think they'd substituted mushrooms instead. Not good if you don't like mushrooms! The breaded mushroom starter was average (£7.90). Lastly I'm surprised that I was charged £1 for a splash of lemonade in my wine!”

  “Brilliant service, staff, atmosphere, food... I simply can't fault anything. The staff went over and above to make sure our experience was special today. It was my birthday meal and I was made a fuss of! Have had many family gatherings here over the years and always fabulous. Highly recommended.”
