SAN MARCO Ristorante - Pizzeria Ratingen in Ratingen

Despite the restaurant's small number of customers, I had to wait a long time. My order of pizza frutti de mare came out of the oven a tolerably brown crust. The toppings smelled strongly of fish and tasted accordingly. The dough was very salty yet felt like cardboard, and the cheese was simply disgusting. I remember this pizzeria from the 1970s. I haven't bought or tasted a pizza this bad and barely edible in a long time, and I threw away €12.50 for it.

Anyone who passes this restaurant has only themselves to blame. Food top, staff top everything is perfect here.

Still my first choice in Ratingen. Unfortunately the prices increased sharply again. Although the shop is doing well and due to the very expensive new prices, one or two people are thinking about trying something different the next time they go to the Italian restaurant, for example. La Pineta or Pizza Point!!!Air-dried Italian salami pizza, rigatonie gratinatie, up to the anti pasti like river crab, etc...a pleasure!!!! Super nice team for 10 years 5 star restaurant, quality

Recommended. Everything fits very well for a cozy dinner.

We came here for the first time as a family with a 3-year-old child to eat. Despite plenty of free seats, we had to wait until we were shown to a table near the waiters. Without a menu, we were again left waiting at the table, while guests who arrived later were greeted with, "Sit where you like! Everything's free!" You also went out of your way to bring the menu, take the table orders, and serve the drinks for these guests. When I asked if we could order, we were told, "Go up front and order there." But the counter outside is for takeout customers, right? From that moment on, we were completely ignored. Several staff members walked past, only glanced at our table briefly, and treated us as if we were invisible. I felt extremely uncomfortable and had the distinct feeling that we were being treated significantly differently than the other guests. There was no point in paying for such treatment, so we left the restaurant. Even at this moment, no one paid any attention to us – as if this behavior were completely normal. I had been looking forward to a visit for a long time, and despite the poor Google reviews, I wanted to give the restaurant a chance. Unfortunately, those reviews turned out to be completely accurate. If you judge your guests based on appearance or group composition, please write in large, clear letters on the door. This way, you could save us and yourself from such unpleasant situations. It was an extremely disrespectful, disappointing, and frustrating experience.

Ordered 2 hours ago, no delivery received. When asked by phone: driver will arrive in 5 minutes. That was 30 minutes ago. Now no one answers the phone anymore. It was paid prepaid. Can only warn before ordering here.

Pizza was a bit too oily ..or too much cheese

The service is very friendly and attentive. The food tastes very good. We'd love to come back.

Otherwise great, big disappointment today! Delivered on time, the box of a pizza was completely soggy so it dripped onto the kitchen floor. The pizza base was squishy and soft like a cardboard box placed in water. Disgusting! On the second pizza, the tomatoes were probably only put on when the pizza came out of the oven, so not warm and not soft but "raw". It's a shame - otherwise always good products!

Highly recommended, best Italian in Ratingen. Super tasty fresh fish at good prices; and everything else Italian your heart desires. Fresh vegetables and very well tolerated, relatively healthy food overall! Very nice, flexible staff! 🥰 Thank you for many nice hours ❤️❤️❤️ Not always such a lavish selection of desserts (I still think it's ok). Zabaione very good (with alcohol). Takes some getting used to: Caprese is served as a salad with arugula. Ambiance: large restaurant with a lot of visitors; lots of tables and lots of life. I sometimes miss the cozy cozy corner for two or the quiet atmosphere when eating. Hence 1 star deduction.

The pizza was OK but not particularly good. For over €16 for a pizza with spinach and mushrooms, the price-performance ratio doesn't work for me. The ambience is okay, but there was a loudspeaker directly above our table that was playing loud, unpleasant music. This is not ideal if you want to have a conversation. The service was fine.

Tried often, unfortunately never really satisfied. The food is OK, although too expensive. Service is often stressful, with almost someone coming to the table to ask for drinks or dessert. And when a dish was brought incorrectly, you were lectured and then pointed out that there were problems in the kitchen because the menu had been changed. And that you should have ordered it straight away. What was done. Just lecture, no apology or anything like that. In my opinion, the restaurant is only well attended because there is a lack of alternatives in Ratingen. Pure luck

Ambience and food good. Knife not sharp = cannot cut pizza = spoils the guest's meal!! Unfortunately!!

I was visiting my girlfriend yesterday. She had a reservation for 7 p.m. There was a lot going on; we had to wait 10 minutes until we were escorted to the table. I found the table small, but okay. Then a second table was pushed in, which we thought was great. But then they wanted to offer us a small table next to it, which was even smaller; We didn't think that was great and said no. The waiter was then unfriendly to us; This lasted until we left. The only thing I liked was the delicious food. We didn't let it spoil our mood. Since we hadn't seen each other for a while, I wished the atmosphere there had been nicer. Kind regards, Christine Kettner

On its own, this restaurant is good. Pizza and pasta can be recommended for their taste. The portions are big enough to fill you up and the price is okay. Friendly service, not too much waiting time and a visually appealing room round off the whole thing. To be honest, I personally prefer other pizzerias/pizzerias, hence "only" 4 stars. It's all a matter of taste.

The evening was a success, the food was very tasty Staff really friendly and attentive Nice ambience

Gut und schön gelegene Restaurant aber leider weit von einer 5 Sterne Bewertung entfernt. Den Teig der Pizza habe ich so noch nie bei einem Italiener gegessen. Es war nicht so wie man es gewohnt oder kennen würde. Daher empfand ich die Pizza als leider nicht empfehlenswert. Der Salat preislich im oberen Segment die Portion aber weit im unteren. Preis Leistungsverhätnis stimmt nicht. Auch die Dauer bei einem fast leeren Restaurant von über 30 min bis die Pizza kam stimmt mich sehr unzufrieden. Verständlicherweise würde ich zeigen bei einem Laden der aus allen Nähten platzt aber so nicht. Ich werde nicht so schnell wiederkommen, schade da wirklich schön eingerichtet. Service der Damen semi professionell.

Lasagna and tortellini taste good.👍 Quantity halved each .👎

Was there for dinner with my girlfriend. At the beginning everything seemed fine. After eating we ordered something to drink and before we had finished drinking we were asked to vacate the table. Because now is the time when many people want to eat. Apparently the waiter was uncomfortable too. But the boss only seems to care about mass production and not about the customer.

Super fresh and delicious. However, often crowded and a bit noisy.

We always have a great time here. The service is very good and the food is super tasty. We come regularly with the family.

We're currently sitting in a restaurant with 9 people celebrating a birthday. The staff has already been approached 5 times that we would like to order desserts, and they replied that they would come immediately. Now most of the glasses have been empty for 20 minutes and we still haven't ordered. Unfortunately, the service here has deteriorated massively. Probably our last visit here. Addendum: we were now able to order after a long wait.

No one was reached on the phone after delivery, hair was missing from the herb butter, dressing and egg in the salads

A star should actually mean not a star. Poor organization - unfriendly and overwhelmed staff. A table for two was reserved for 7 p.m. Our name was in the book that was open on the counter. We identified ourselves and were left standing there without saying a word. There was no table for us, but there were several free tables for 4 to 6 people with and without reservations! We were ignored and all eye contact was avoided, so after 25 minutes we left the restaurant without a word.

I went for pizza today with my godchild and her daughter, my pizza and my daughter's pizza were ice cold. Unfriendly staff, I don't go there anymore.

We actually enjoy going to San Marco a lot. But yesterday we booked a table on the occasion of my birthday and unfortunately the attendance wasn't good. Table was not reserved. We had to wait about 30 minutes before we could order the drinks. When the meal was served for 6 people, the 7th person was told that their meal request was not available. Then ordering again (a salad) took so long that the others at the table had already finished their food. Drinks and glasses were given to one person to pass on to the other guests. It's a shame, the service just wasn't good

Wir gehen eigentlich viel und gerne zu San Marco. Aber gestern hatten wir anlässlich meines Geburtstag einen Tisch bestellt und leider war der Besuch nicht gut. Tisch war nicht reserviert. Wir mussten ca 30 Minuten warten bis wir die Getränke bestellen konnten. Als das Essen für 6 Personen serviert wurde, bekam die 7. Person mitgeteilt, dass ihr Essenswunsch nicht verfügbar war. Dann die erneute Bestellung (ein Salat) dauerte solange, dass die anderen am Tisch schon mit ihrem Essen fertig waren. Getränke und Gläser wurden einer Person zum weiterreichen für die anderen Gäste gegeben. Schade, der Service war einfach nicht gut

Was eating here for the first time with a friend. Great pizza, nice staff. Very nice light-flooded restaurant. Great facilities.

English version below The waiter was very disrespectful from the start. When ordering, one of us asked about something on the menu and was simply told, “I don’t know. Next!” breakfasted and moved on to the next person. He rarely came to the table and was always very unfriendly and left quickly. The focaccia, soup and bread were quite tasty, but the main course was underwhelming. I had penne with fillet, which was quite tough. The dish didn't taste very authentic and had a LOT OF CREAM, even though the menu didn't say that the dish contained milk!! Not recommended for allergy sufferers. The waiter was very disrespectful right away. One of us asked something about the menu when ordering and he just disregarded him with "I don't know. Next!" and went on to the next person. He rarely came to the table and was always very unfriendly and quick to leave. The focaccia, the soup and the bread were quite nice but the main dish was not very convincing. I had penne with fillet which was quite chewy. The dish didn't taste very authentic and had a LOT OF CREAM although the MENU DIDN'T SAY THAT THE DISH CONTAINS MILK!! Can't recommend.

Unfortunately, I have to report an unpleasant event. We as a family, my husband, my son and I, had dinner at the San Marco restaurant. We had already called by phone to make a reservation and were told that we should "just" come by - no sooner said than done. When we entered the ambience we were ignored, briefly for information we came into the restaurant with a stroller. The waiters all looked at us and rolled their eyes at our son and felt like they were intentionally keeping us waiting. I didn't mind it and didn't want to just take any seat without an assignment. At some point after a long time, even though the restaurant was empty, an employee finally came and rolled her eyes and took us to a completely unsuitable place in the middle of the restaurant with tightly packed tables. This is totally inconvenient with a stroller and a small child; the stroller didn't even fit next to the table. Well, I still understood that. It was quite a while again and no waiter bothered to ask us about our order. In the meantime, women at the table behind us were being served wine, there was a nice chat, bills were being paid by other guests. Since my son doesn't sit quietly in the stroller for 3 days, which is totally human, I decided to ask the waiter call. He came and looked down at us, totally annoyed, and took the order. At that time the eyes were rolled again because my son was babbling to himself. Then finally the food came. Since the time span was extremely long, my partner and I had to take turns entertaining our son because he was apparently too loud. The waiters looked really angry as they walked past, like “leave the restaurant”. I was carrying my son around and he was still babbling, I emphasize this because he wasn't crying or screaming. It was a little louder, but I can't stop a small child from speaking up. My food got cold, but I felt totally uncomfortable in the restaurant because the staff not only looked angry, but I even had to shake my head. After my partner finished eating, I ate my portion in a hurry, since I pay the same as other customers and didn't see the point of leaving the restaurant just because my child seemed unwanted. When we paid we were looked at just as badly, but we also had to wait a long time before we were allowed to pay. It's worth mentioning again that the place was empty and there wasn't a lot of customers there. Since my child's diaper was full, I looked for a changing option. I had to smile, a cushion for a garden chair was put on a wooden table or dining table with a note saying “changing corner”. This was by far the worst restaurant visit ever and I have never felt so unwanted with my child. I recommend that owners hang a “children not welcome” sign on the door if they are so unwanted. We pay the same money and want to enjoy our food. Ah yes, we still gave a tip out of decency because it was appropriate, but no one even said thank you. The waiter scurried away and didn't even say goodbye. Never again in San Marco!

Today an order was placed via the website and unfortunately the comments were not read and an incorrect delivery was delivered, leaving one person unable to eat. After calling to ask if a new delivery could be made, I was only rudely told that it was a mistake and that a new delivery would take over an hour. So now one person has to watch while eating. Too bad!

First of all, the good. The pizza is very tasty and tastefully topped. Unfortunately the service was a disaster. Unfortunately we waited an eternity for the drinks and then got them wrong. We sat at a table of 6 with 4 people. The tables were then suddenly pulled apart, not for other guests, but for the table camp. The remaining chairs just stood there. There is no better way not to appreciate the guest. Unfortunately, no prego or grace helps. A German sentence “Please go now” would have been more appropriate Even though the pizza was delicious, I won't eat there again and won't recommend the place. Sorry, but Italians can do it better!!

There were six of us there on November 4th, 2024. Unfortunately, it was an unfortunate visit. The soup we ordered didn't come at all and then it was just water with egg. Zero flavor, zero parmesan. The color was reddish, which looked more like boiled vegetables than clear broth. Please don't do that!!! A pizza was missing an ingredient and the service was very poor. No apology or anything like that. I remember the restaurant used to be good. But like this...?

delicious Aperol Spritz, bruschetta, tomato soup, nice decor

There is only one star here, otherwise the review cannot be published. Ordered via Lieferando with desired time, delivered more than 45 minutes late. The quality is subpar, both from the pizza (extra mozzarella just carelessly thrown into the middle) and the two portions of the lasagna (despite the different order number, you can't tell them apart visually). Neither visually appetizing nor tasty. Unfortunately no, unfortunately not at all.

We ordered a pizza and two pasta dishes for delivery. The food came 40 minutes later, was cold and, as you can see from the pictures, an impertinence. The noodle dishes were impossible to tell apart, were swimming in greasy, indefinable sauce and could not be eaten. We complained over the phone and were just brushed off with a trivial excuse. 32€ thrown out the window.

Delivery times and 40 minutes exceeded. Food arrived lukewarm and didn't look appetizing!

Super tasty, as always. It's a real pleasure to be able to eat these dishes. Staff super friendly, not like elsewhere, this artificial friendliness, but really human. Thank you, keep it up and stay as you are.

Mittagessen hier an einem Samstag. Ziemlich hektisch. Einer der Kellner brachte uns an einen Tisch und verschwand, dann kam ein Anderer und scheuchte uns woanders hin, denn dieser Tisch war wohl reserviert. Kann passieren, muss aber nicht und schon gar nicht in so einem Ton. Essen bestellt, Penne mit Filetspitzen und dsasselbe noch einmal als Tagliatelle Version. Vorab Tomatensalat. Der war schlecht, zu viel Fertigsauce drüber gekippt, keine Zwiebel, nichts. Stand aber auch nicht in der Karte mit welcher Sauce. Die Penne war zwar ok, aber auch hier fehlte der Pepp. Wenn man doch Filetspitzen auf die Karte schreibt, warum serviert man dann Filetklumpen? Optisch nicht ansprechend und geschmacklich auch nicht wirklich. Und immer dieses hektische Hin und Her. Einaml dort gewesen, muss man nicht noch einmal hin.

Food is great - service is terrible. Drink orders were forgotten (were not billed either), children's chairs were not brought and if you wanted the bill you might have to wait longer because no waiter was looking or interested in the guests.

The more often you order there, the worse the food is. The pizza was only lukewarm and wet and soggy underneath. Very carelessly topped and the specially ordered ingredients were rare. The starter of eggplant with cheese gratin was not edible because it was completely burnt. The noodle...well...not so good with a Maggie ready-made sauce. It was definitely the last time we ordered there.

What a disgrace... The order is delivered to the wrong address, after 1 1/2 hours I notice this and the same food is delivered to me lukewarm. Bottle of wine was sent back with the meal as an apology. It's not the first time.

they don't read the comments and deliver the pizzas normally.

Quality food in a friendly environment!

Its going on 15 years that I do no more live in the region, but whenever I am visiting, I always make a point to dine here. It was fantastic to see how the restaurant has evolved over the years, starting from a humble pizzeria in a super market to nowadays the best Italian restaurant in the entire region. The five stars are definitely justified!

Delicious pizza and a nice ambience in the back of the house. Pizza can be ordered for take away in the front area of ​​the restaurant. Contrary to some reviews here, I have to say that our waiter was taciturn but still very nice. The pizza was good, but with more cheese than usual.

Eating here is really fun. It is advisable to reserve a table on weekend evenings. Despite the restaurant being full, the service was friendly and the waiting time wasn't long.

Ambience and food completely ok. But you are always overlooked. Nobody comes and takes the drinks. You have to ask emphatically. The order also took a long time. You simply aren't seen, that should change!!!!More friendliness would be an advantage

Soooo delicious, I've been there several times and it's always great. Very nice employees

... was there for the first time, just beautiful, keep it up!

There were six of us at the San Marco and unfortunately the evening was anything but satisfactory. After taking our seats, we had to wait 15 minutes before we had to ask the waiter to take our drink order. The starters also took an unreasonably long time to arrive. Despite several attempts to draw attention to us through eye contact and hand signals, we were ignored when we tried to order the main courses. A main course was also completely forgotten and only served 10 minutes later. The place may have been very busy and the staff may have been understaffed, but such behavior is unacceptable. Ignoring guests and a lack of attention are not part of good service. The waiter seemed disinterested, took the orders wordlessly on his iPad and avoided any eye contact - very unfriendly. San Marco was once known for its quality, but unfortunately the food now seems to be middle class. Overall we were very disappointed.

After almost two hours the food finally arrived. The dish of the day was completely oversalted and more of an appetizer. So for the main course, four noodles with mushroom sauce are clearly not enough. When asked, Dar Kelner became cheeky and said "that's usually enough for the guests". So I'm not normal. Not recommended this snack bar.

Weak pizza after 75 minutes!! Not recommended.

Waiter extremely unfriendly, waitress nice but without influence. When we were finally allowed to order our food after a very long wait, it came very quickly. The food was average at best. The payment process then took forever.

This pizzeria is out of this world. The pizzas are all very tasty. The pasta dishes are also consistently excellent. I haven't ventured into meat and fish in particular here yet. But overall, this restaurant can only be recommended because the prices are very, very good. The service is friendly and accommodating. You are not pressured into anything, but you get really good recommendations.

Didn't like it at all, waiter dissatisfied, frustrated or lazy, I have no idea, there were three of us and we didn't get a small starter, like olives, bread or bruscheta, and at the end the waiter made a mistake with the bill, only mini, mini, at least about 50 Euro,

Parpadelle mit Lachs, oder Taglerini mit Pfifferlingen, beides sehr gut, sehr gute Pasta wie selbstgemacht, leckerer Lachs mit Soße bzw. Pfifferlinge. Ein Genuss. Der charmante Chef war auch wieder da. Er strahlt bella Italia aus. Immer wieder gerne.

Average pizza but discreetly made and well seasoned. Adequate prices and friendly staff.

We knew the pizza from the delivery service. The visit to the restaurant is really worth it, because in addition to the food, there is also the ambience and the service were very good. If we had only ordered Saltimbocca without a starter, we would recommend an extra portion of fries or the delicious tiramisu for dessert. In summary Like in Italy.

Pizzas arrived dry, there was hardly any cheese, the expensive mini salad with the wrong dressing was a joke, a shame, it was usually good but not like this anymore

Unfortunately, the food wasn't seasoned and our waiter didn't seem to be entirely motivated that evening either. Glasses were no longer cleared away and drinks were only available upon request. Too bad

We ordered two pizzas. A total of two hours delivery time that wasn't even worth it! Both pizzas had far too thick dough with a black edge. In addition, part of the surface was forgotten. Never again!

Nice staff, reasonable prices. Very tasty pizzas. Only the garlic oil on the spinaci pizza would like to have a bit of garlic in it.

Best Italian in Ratingen. Started as a pizza joint ages ago, it is now a very good Italian restaurant.

Unfortunately, the service was so subpar that even the good food couldn't enhance the visit. We weren't even asked if we would like something else to drink and we also had to request the bill several times. The older gentleman (our waiter) only uttered ONE word during the payment process: “COPY?” no thanks (despite tipping for no service) and no “goodbye” or anything like that…. We won't be coming back. Good pizza, pasta and salads can also be found elsewhere. The food was good, but not good enough. Too bad.

Salad and pasta is very bad. Without Amore without effort... it's the last time I was there. non ti rivedrò mai più!

We were there spontaneously on a Saturday and after a short wait we got a table outside. The service was fantastic, the food was fantastic😍

The waiter is very indifferent, disrespectful towards the customer and low level, I definitely do not recommend it. Even though everywhere was empty, he insisted that we sit on the floor for 4 people.

Food is good, service sometimes takes a while. But then everything is compensated for with Italian charm. Price performance absolutely OK!!!

You can easily go there - nice atmosphere and friendly staff. Pizza Funghi was also good, but I've eaten better. I found the pizza crust a bit dry and floury, and overall a bit too little salt.

Good stone oven pizza. But the service still has to thaw out.

Quantity instead of quality. A pity.

The waiter was very rude. We sat down and took a fifth chair. The way the waiter pointed out to us that we weren't allowed to put a chair there was beyond rude and very disrespectful! I will no longer recommend the restaurant to family and friends.

Was a nice and tasty experience at affordable prices

Open all day, very friendly, delicious food, regularly go to San Marko from Meerbusch

Nice restaurant, family atmosphere, nice staff and delicious food. Always my pleasure.

We came with a group of 5. Very nice quick service and also the delivery of pizzas and penne. We were very satisfied. It is recommended to reserve in advance.

Tastes 100% delicious But the portion was really small. I had canelloni and that was really little so I ordered something else afterwards. Ambiance was also 100% great and the service was nice and friendly.

Enjoyed eating outside. Well maintained and tasty food. It's nice that you have the choice of a large or small pizza.

Very good dishes and diverse selection! Courteous and good service!

A wonderful Italian restaurant with very good food. And on top of that there's Key Alt beer. Fresh fish, very good meat and crunchy vegetables are on the menu every day. The pizzas are really delicious

Super nice service, delicious food, normal prices

Well-kept ristorante, quick service, friendly service and DELICIOUS.

Sehr schöne Artmosphäre. Gutes Personal und leckeres Essen. Gute Qualität der Speisen Frischer Fisch, Wein, leckere Zabaione

5 out of 5 stars! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ----------------------------- I personally love Italian cuisine and have eaten in several Italian restaurants around the world. 🇮🇹😋 San Marco stands out clearly, you won't find anything better in Ratingen. There are enough parking spaces, but not directly at the restaurant.

Delicious pizzaria even with a large group (30 people)

The food didn't come to the table after half an hour. When we asked, the employee said it wasn't that long ago and started arguing with us instead of simply apologizing. However, we were sure because I made a phone call after ordering and was able to calculate the time. The employee didn't want to accept this, even though we had just asked politely and didn't want to discuss it. Suddenly he became very rude and loud. The noodles were nothing special. Our appetite was gone anyway. That was my last visit there. I advise everyone not to visit this store. There are better alternatives.

I waited half an hour for my food. When I asked the waiter in a friendly manner, he became rude and claimed that the wait wasn't that long, even though 30 minutes had already passed.

Great pizza, moderate prices, nice service, cozy atmosphere

I ate there on vacation and it was one of the best pizzas I've ever had. The service was very nice and the price-performance ratio is very good. Highly recommended for every tourist and resident

Delicious pizza, friendly and fast service. Large wine selection. There are also places outside, but due to the local and spatial conditions, they don't currently give me a 5 🌟.

Very good veal medallions, accompanied by a good red wine from the small carafe, followed by a Sicilian ice cream cake. A successful evening, I would love to come back. Visited you again today on Mother's Day! Very tasty swordfish, nice wine, a fantastic dessert and still very friendly service. We always like to come back! See you next time.

Been in Ratingen for decades and the food is top notch. Delicious pizzas and delicious pasta dishes. A classic Italian restaurant. The restaurant itself gets a bit noisy when it is full and it is advisable to reserve a table here, especially on the weekend. The waitresses are generally friendly. We have had positive but unfortunately also negative experiences here.

As always, absolutely great!!!! Keep it up.

It was our first time in this restaurant and everything was perfect, delicious, great value for money, we can only recommend it.

Excellent Italian restaurant in ratingen. Nice and kind staff... the Sicilian owner a true gentleman

Nice Italian restaurant, friendly staff and delicious food.

You want a pleasant atmosphere and friendly service. Just awful!!!

It's a shame, the shop used to be a really good address! The last few times there were just disappointing and not tasty...

Favorite pizzeria in Ratingen. Food tastes incredibly good for unbeatable prices. About €7 per pizza
