Desde el primer instante, el encanto del lugar —ubicado en un entorno histórico y cuidadosamente decorado— te envuelve con una atmósfera acogedora y elegante. El servicio fue impecable: atento, cordial y profesional en todo momento. Cada plato que probamos fue una auténtica obra de arte, tanto en presentación como en sabor. Recomiendo especialmente los tagliatelle al tartufo y el risotto de mariscos, preparados con ingredientes de primera calidad y un equilibrio de sabores digno de un restaurante de alta cocina. La carta de vinos es excelente, con opciones tanto locales como internacionales que complementan perfectamente cada plato. El postre —un tiramisú casero— fue el broche de oro perfecto para una velada excepcional. San Marco no es solo un restaurante, es una experiencia gastronómica que combina tradición, sabor y hospitalidad sevillana en su máxima expresión. ¡Sin duda, volveré en mi próxima visita a la ciudad! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ An unforgettable dining experience in the heart of Seville I had the pleasure of dining at San Marco during my visit to Seville, and it was truly one of the highlights of my trip. From the moment you step inside, the charm of the restaurant — set in a beautifully preserved historic space — creates a warm and elegant atmosphere. The service was outstanding: attentive, gracious, and highly professional. Every dish we tried was a masterpiece, both in presentation and flavor. I especially recommend the tagliatelle al tartufo and the seafood risotto, both made with top-quality ingredients and exceptional culinary skill. The wine list is impressive, featuring a fine selection of both Spanish and international labels that pair wonderfully with the menu. For dessert, the homemade tiramisu was the perfect finishing touch to a flawless evening. San Marco is more than just a restaurant — it’s a complete culinary experience that blends tradition, flavor, and the warm hospitality of Seville at its finest. I will absolutely return on my next visit to the city! From MSC cruise passengers Amber Rodger06/06/2025 We had a lovely meal here. Loved it all - particularly the tiramisu! Service was fantastic.

Ferran Adrià, the most influential chef in modern gastronomy.
"When I finished my military service I went to work for three months in Seville, at San Marco restaurant."
Did you know that the best chef in the world worked in our kitchen?
"They called me to go to work in April, and there I went." From Seville he began his march towards the town of Rosas (Girona), where the building that houses the El Bulli facilities crowns the Montjoi cove. In this location located in the Cap de Creus natural park, the chef began his transoceanic journey. Together with his brother, Albert Fermí Puig in his restaurant GTRES Adrià, he carved out a niche for himself in the kitchen-school in 1984 until he became a master and golden chef.

History of our venue
Arab baths from the 12th century in Mudejar style. It is worth highlighting the starry windows of the vault, also known as Madawis. These baths had a religious purpose, in which Muslims purified themselves (washed) before the prayer that took place in the current Cathedral of Seville.
The Catholic Monarchs, after establishing trade routes with America and with the intention of attracting new markets, converted the Baths into taverns to accommodate the Mudejars/Moors who would pass through Seville for commercial purposes. That is why the street where the restaurant is located is called "Calle Mesón del Moro."
The building passes into the hands of the Church, characterized by its discomfort and the coexistence of guests with animals.
The bathrooms become part of the transportation industry, functioning as horse stables and carriage warehouses. It is the millstones on the exterior façade that provide this information; in addition to protecting the walls of the building during the indicated time.
