San Martino In Scorzè

Truly original dishes, intense culinary experience, excellent service

One of the most refined places, professional and welcoming staff. Recommended!

I waited a month before writing this review, to give the experience time to "digest" well and evaluate everything calmly. Our experience at Ristorante San Marco was average overall, but there were several aspects that left us perplexed. The food was acceptable, even if the revisitation of the prawn cocktail didn't completely convince us. When the spaghetti with prawns, burnt bread and black garlic arrived, I made a positive comment about the black garlic, but the lady's response was surprising: "But how can she say that, she hasn't eaten it yet". Overlooking the fact that I could very well be a person who produces black garlic and knows the product well, the lady's attitude appeared irritating, almost judgmental, as if my somewhat modest external appearance were a reason to doubt my skills or opinions. When the dessert or pre-dessert arrived - an artichoke sorbet - we were alerted to the presence of the frizzina, but we found ourselves faced with grains that looked more like briochi than frizzina. In a starred restaurant, this choice seemed out of place and inconsistent with the level of the restaurant. Another unpleasant detail was the moment in which I announced that I did not drink alcohol: the lady reacted with obvious annoyance, as if it were a nuisance for her. The only time I saw a smile on his face was when it came time to pay the bill. I put 5 stars on each category because I know it's like bread for you, but what I write is what I think. Overall, the cuisine can have ups and downs, but welcome and courtesy should always be guaranteed, especially in a restaurant with high demands.

From the welcome to the tasting menu, everything was excellent!

Non è assolutamente facile capire e premiare il lavoro altrui, specialmente quando ci si occupa di altro. Ma Michela e Raffaele vanno sicuramente lodati. Mantengono e migliorano il loro impegno e la loro professionalità negli anni. Sempre gradevole sedere ai loro tavoli. Proposte di percorsi veramente invitanti con scelta anche vegetariana. Preciso e attento il servizio che non manca di approfondimenti per i più curiosi. Una carta dei vini spettacolare davvero, arricchita dai consigli di Michela veramente preparatissima e appassionata di questo mondo. Grazie per tutto ciò che fate. A presto

What can I say... every time a splendid culinary and oenological surprise. Superlative service, wonderful food. A gratification for the heart and mind as well as for the palate..

10/10 restaurant. In this place we ate really well, dishes well prepared and different from usual, I would say that the menu of this place is poetry for the palate. Professional and kind staff. Congratulations, keep it up.

We try the Barena menu where they successfully blend modernity , with stunning presentations that captivate the eye (through some well executed trompe l'œil techniques) ,While at the same time showcasing some amazing local products ! This results in an exceptional fine dining experience, elevated by impeccable service !! All this Paired with excellent local wine recommendations, makes it a truly a remarkable destination!

On the advice of a friend and intrigued by the youth proposal (reserved for under 30s), we decided to live this starred experience which turned out to be extremely positive. Exquisite food, impeccable service. We felt pampered from start to finish. I highly recommend it to everyone, especially young people who want to experience something different. I will definitely come back to try the other tasting menus!

Questo storico ristorante stellato adesso è ancora più bello dopo una profonda ristrutturazione immobiliare. All'interno più sale interne ed una cantina favolosa. Il menù dello chef, ampio come pochi in circolazione, offre anche una variazione vegetariana dal titolo Botanica che mi pare, nel suo genere, tra le cose migliori in Italia.
