Four signs of a real Italian kitchen

That the pasta is made on site (ask — you can taste the difference in the bite), that specific Italian produce is on the menu (guanciale, pecorino, burrata), that the menu is not a hundred dishes long, and that pasta is priced above a cheap pizza. All four together are hard to fake.

A walkable route through the centre

So you do not get lost: start at the Cathedral, cut through Santa Cruz and finish at Plaza de España. Italian restaurants cluster along that line; the trick is to choose by how the sauces smell, not how the façade looks.

Where we fit in

San Marco has been on that line for thirty years and meets all four criteria: fresh pasta daily, imported Italian produce, a short menu and customers who come back. The quickest way to check is to eat here once.

Preguntas frecuentes

Resolvemos las dudas más habituales.

How do I know the pasta is genuinely fresh?

Ask whether it is made on site and request it cooked al dente. Fresh pasta holds up less well, and you notice it in the texture.

Our classics are fresh pasta —carbonara romana, tagliatelle alla bolognese, ricotta and spinach ravioli, lasagna della casa— and sourdough pizzas with 48 hours of fermentation, with the Pizza Tonnara and the Margherita DOP among the most ordered. Everything is made in house daily, with produce imported from Italy and no shortcuts.

As a guide to prices, la Carbonara romana costs €12.50; la Lasagna della casa costs €13.50; el Tiramisú della nonna costs €5.50; la Burrata pugliese costs €16.50. The menu sits in the mid range (€€) and the full list with every dish and price is always on our menu page. We keep the prices in the menu and in our structured data in sync with the same source, so what you read is what you pay.

Come and see us: Calle Dr. Pedro de Castro, 1, 41004 Sevilla. Lunch 13:00–16:00, dinner 20:00–23:30, every day of the week.

Every dish follows the original recipe the family passed to Aldo Ramacciotti: carbonara with guanciale and pecorino, ricotta ravioli hand-filled every morning, and ragù cooked slowly for hours. There is no rush and no substitute. Buying the right produce and respecting cooking times is half the job; the other half is not being in a hurry to serve it.

Should I order the set menu or à la carte in an Italian?

It depends: the set menu is cheaper, but in an Italian the dishes that set it apart are usually à la carte. If in doubt, check whether the set menu includes the house pasta.

At San Marco we cook Italian the way it is cooked at home: fresh pasta made daily, dough proved for 48 hours and family recipes we have never changed. We have been next to the Plaza de España since 1994, with two daily services and options for almost any taste or need.

Which area of Seville has the most Italian restaurants?

The historic centre between the Cathedral, Santa Cruz and Plaza de España holds most of them.

This is a very convenient area to eat: you are next to the Plaza de España and a step from the centre, so you can combine the visit with your meal without losing time travelling. Instead of falling for the first tourist menu you find, it is worth booking a place with its own kitchen, like this one, where the produce and the cooking show in the dish.

As a guide to prices, la Carbonara romana costs €12.50; la Lasagna della casa costs €13.50; el Tiramisú della nonna costs €5.50; la Burrata pugliese costs €16.50.

You will find us at Calle Dr. Pedro de Castro, 1, 41004 Sevilla, a short walk from the Plaza de España and the historic centre. The bus stop is right at the door and there is a public car park about 50 metres away, so arriving by car or public transport is easy. On foot, the landmark is simple: once you reach the Plaza de España, we are a short stroll along Dr. Pedro de Castro street. We are open every day, lunch 13:00–16:00 and dinner 20:00–23:30. You can call +34 954 41 87 60 or book online.
