San Marzano

We came by during brunch & we got to try out some things on the menu we saw suggested from other people. Our waiter/ bartender was on point. He took care of 3 tables, the bar & door dash. We stared off with the meatballs. They were tender, but they were overpowered by the number of onions in them. We could taste the onions hours after the meal. The chicken parmigiana was good, but doesn't come with any pasta, so there's a $8 up charge to get spaghetti pasta. I will also suggest to order garlic bread with cheese, because it helped the dishes. The pasta is supposed to be all handmade. I believe they are & they good.

San Marzano is a fine Italian dining place in uptown Dallas. The ambience of the restaurant is nice. I had the eggplant and pesto sauce based pasta(vegetarian) and it was good. My friends said the other dishes which included salads and meat to be good as well. At the rush hours, the place might get a bit noisy. The restaurant is located in a great location as well. It is easily identifiable from the main street and has ample parking space

We had the BEST italian food here! Great service too! Our server Jose was the nicest! We had the meatballs and short rib pasta. Both amazing! Don't sleep on the desserts!

Fantastic cocktails and food. Wedge salad was refreshing. Shrimp scampi with GF option and Pear Ravioli were incredible. Ravioli with sausage option was superior to Globe in Miami! Bar tender was incredibly detailed. You can’t go wrong.

Our server DK was amazing! He knew the stuff about the menu and the timing of when to approach us for service. Cesar salad was on par that the dressing was not too much or too little. I like the vecchia bottela sauce.

This is a large party of 24 people that Brian( manager) did a great job organizing. We planned ahead of time what courses they were going to start bringing out and at what times. I had proposed to my fiancé the day of, and we came here soon afterwards. Jack our server was also really attentive. Big or small party I recommend coming here because the food was also very delicious and the ambiance was great and classy, they helped this a night to remember P.S. thank you guys for helping to make that day special. I hope you guys are ready for my next visit.

San Marzano was the perfect place to celebrate my best's friends engagement! We had a party of 30 scheduled for a Saturday night, and Brian was extremely helpful getting everything set up. We were able to bring in some decor to make it extra special, but honestly did not need much because the restaurant itself has beautiful ambiance. The food and drinks are AMAZING! This was the first time visiting for all of our guests, and everyone mentioned coming back on their own. Our servers, Jack and Austin, were fantastic throughout the entire party. All orders cam quick and they were constantly checking on us to make sure everything was to our liking. I can't recommend this place enough, every staff member we talked to was kind and everything we ate and drank was delicious. We can't wait to come back!!!!

We had a great time at San Marzano! The vibe in there is elevated casual which we enjoyed. The menu is small but I felt like there were still enough items for me to choose from. We started off with the arancini and Caesar salad which were fantastic. The two pastas we got were a short rib rigatoni and a vodka sauce rigatoni with spicy sausage. Some reviewers have commented on the portions not being enough but I felt they were enough. Service was friendly and did a good job as they continue to work through new opening logistical issues. We would certainly come back here!

Had dinner for our 25th wedding anniversary and booked on Open Table. San Marzano is in a beautiful little area of Uptown and touts fresh made pasta and a warm ambiance....and it truly delivered! Jana was our lovely server and took excellent care of us all evening, ensuring we had all we needed for a perfect night together. We had the risotto which could easily feed 3 (but we divided and conquered!), the mozzarella garlic bread on house made ciabatta (phenomenal!!), and my husband had tagliatelle and I had the pear, walnut and Gorgonzola ravioli. All were perfectly made - most assuredly that pasta IS made in house - and the flavors and textures were both exquisite and delicious. Cocktails were also perfect and beautifully presented, and everything was reasonably priced considering the location and quality of the food and service. We will most definitely be back! Thank you, Jana!

Clean. Organized. Tidy. Generic. Blindfold me and drop me into San Marzano, and I'd swear I was in any of 10,000 other big city American chain restaurants. Paper napkins, blinking LED candles, CNBC on the TV and 80's yacht rock music playing in the background. Not a single thing that felt Italian, beyond the wine I ordered. The food? Adequate but soulless. No spark, no passion, no zest. It's the vanilla wafer of Italian restaurants. I ordered the walnut pear salad and the rigatoni bolognese with a glass of red. Perfectly serviceable, yes. Genuinely Italian? Sorry, no.

We are at San Marzano to celebrate a birthday and in the hopes of enjoying fresh made pasta. For appetizers we had the garlic bread, Asiago Meatballs, Arancini, and truffle fries. For the pasta we ordered Campanelle, Pappardelle, chicken parmigiana. Out of everything we ordered, the truffle fries were the highlight. Unfortunately, the pasta and sauce--despite the glowing reviews--were a major letdown. The pasta was bland, the sauce lacked depth, and even the bread was burnt. To make matters worse, the service was just as disappointing as the food, which led us to skip dessert altogether. With so many excellent and authentic Italian restaurants in DFW, we suggest giving San Marzano a pass.

Second time here and loved it again! This time a birthday party with a group of 11. I ordered the Campanelle with Caprino sauce. It was delicious and really a perfect pasta. I also got the strawberry spritz which I loved! Our server was great and managed the whole group well. He even got our birthday girl some free ice cream. He also allowed us to split the check 11 ways which I know can be difficult so I really appreciated it. It's very sleek and modern inside and they sat us at a nice long table in the back for some privacy. Both times I've been it hasn't been very busy and I don't get it! Highly recommend this place :)

Amazing job redoing the inside of this place. Great ambiance with friendly faces when you walk in and an excellent staff, especially Jean-Luc he's great! The menu has a ton of variety because they make their own pasta and you can pick and choose what you want. Order the short rib ragu with pappardelle and you'll be coming back just like me. Last thing the ricottella dessert is AMAZING! New Italian spot permanently added to my list!

I was excited to try this place because of the build your own pasta dish & the cheesy chicken Parmesan. Unfortunately, when I arrived, there was two people at the door what kind of just looked at me like I was interrupting your conversation. I saw my friend and just walked to her. Then when I arrived, our waiter brought my friend, her water and kind of just looked at me And didn't take my drink order yet the trend kind of continued with a very lack of service waiter. If you do not know how to properly pronounce Italian dishes, you will be belittled and corrected numerously. It was my friend's birthday and we were there to celebrate. They have some good prices on happy hour appetizers and drinks. We bought five appetizers, three pasta entrées, two drinks and we still felt like we were not wanted. Aranchini, meatballs, truffle fries, & 2 orders of garlic bread. We all thought the pasta was just ok & that the bread was the best thing on the happy hour menu, which is $5. I liked it but wish it wasn't so burnt. I do not recommend.

Does not disappoint! I had a very attentive server that made a lot of great suggestions. Why not a 5, you ask? There is no side with the veal Marsala which forced me to buy an additional meal to taste the paper-dale pasta. Also I ordered the garlic bread when I literally sat down because I hadn't eaten all day, but it was never ordered. I got it well after I received my meal and reminded folks. The veal was like butter and oh so tasty. The Caesar was also delish and those croutons are yummy.

Went here for dinner before heading to see a comedy show nearby! It is located in a cute little area, and the inside gives off a nice ambience without the expensive pricing you sometimes have to pay for here in Dallas. Our server Jaylen I think it was, was super helpful and pleasant. He had great recommendations for the menu and the wine selections. It's a simple menu which is actually nice for an Italian restaurant, and the pasta is definitely homemade, you could tell. Essentially the concept is, you choose a pasta noodle, choose what sauce you want to pair it with and then add a meat or different cheeses as you please. So it's a "build your own" concept. I chose the Campanelle pasta with the Vecchia Bettola sauce and spicy sausage and it was perfection! It was so good I literally finished my entire dish, nothing leftover. My friend got the rigatoni, alla norma with fresh mozzarella added. I tried theirs too, but honestly it had too much going on for me personally I wasn't a fan. The mozzarella came out in chunks, and then there was eggplant and pesto, and a creamy sauce. It was good, but I don't think I would've eaten the whole thing. I also had the Riesling which was sweet but not overly sweet. All in all I'm glad we chose this spot, it was delicious!

Stopped by to give San Marzano another chance. Really enjoyed Manish and would return. I had rigatoni and meatballs with vodka sauce. Flavorful, piping hot, and fresh ingredients. Meatballs were a bit small but I get it due to the small price point.

San Marzano was such a pleasant surprise! We went for brunch and had a little bit of everything and everything was so good. For appetizers, we ordered the calamari, crab cakes, truffle risotto, meatball, and fries. All were solid, but the risotto (it was on the thicker side though) and crab cakes were standouts. For mains, we had the short rib ragu with pappardelle and burrata, the rigatoni bolognese with mozzarella, and the French toast. Every dish was flavorful, well-balanced, and satisfying. We ended with the ricottella for dessert, it was like a donut-crepes with Nutella and ricotta filling. Service started off a bit shaky, but our server turned it around quickly. He was super funny, attentive, and made the experience even more enjoyable, he even comped the risotto as it was someone's birthday in our group. The interior is beautiful and cozy, honestly surprised it wasn't more packed. We also got mimosas, which came as a full bottle of sparkling wine and juice for just $18 - a total steal. Great food, great vibes, and great value. I'll definitely be back!

Wanted to provide an update to my previous review - I have returned to San Marzano twice since my initial review was posted, and I am genuinely appalled by the extreme increase in prices over the last 2 or 3 months. Upon opening, San Marzano marketed themselves as an affordable, high quality restaurant straight from NYC. This created a lot of excitement at the prospect of having fresh pasta at an affordable price, especially in West Village. When I sat down, I was taken aback at the new prices. I understand that inflation is impacting everyone, so a few dollars makes sense. However, some dishes were increased by $5!! Three months ago, the eggplant parm was $9, and today it is $14. Three months ago all of the pastas were $14 (without add ons), and now they range from $16-19. I looked at the NYC menu, and the prices in Dallas are higher across the board - how can that be?!! The service was fine and the ambiance is pleasant, but at this new price point, it makes a lot more sense to just go to an upscale italian restaurant instead of a semi-casual one.

Fantastic food, responsive & timely service, family friendly, lovely ambiance. Starters-Caesar Salad which had the largest homemade croutons we've ever had. Fresh romaine lettuce, just the right amount of Parmesan and dressing. Meatballs appetizers-our 1 year old loved the meatballs! Flavorful, not the largest meatballs I've had but definitely quality meatballs with sauce. The ravioli with walnut and gorgonzola cheese was delightful. Chose the rigatoni pasta with the pink vodka sauce topped with crispy chicken. Enjoyed the dish very much. Portions are on the generous side and we had leftovers to go. Definitely would recommend. There were large parties of people this evening. People seem to really enjoy this place for gatherings. I can see why. Check them out, great food, great service, great atmosphere. All around a trendy neighborhood gem!

Food was tasty, and the patio was a nice place for an early dinner. They have a good happy hour drink selection and all of the pasta is made fresh in house!

It was my first time here and I came with some of my friends for a girls night!! The service was great and the restaurant is super cute! I loved my pasta and got rigatoni with vodka sauce. The food and drinks are so affordable and great quality! Would definitely come again!

Kelsey took incredible care of us last night! We forgot to tell her that one of us has celiac and she had a fresh appetizer, gluten free made! She had such a great attitude and made our experience fabulous. The food always is cooked to perfection and the pricing is phenomenal! Can't wait to go back!

I think this place is SO underrated. Homemade pasta at prices that won't break the bank?? Count me in. You have to start with the meatballs and a frozen limoncello. They also have a great happy hour. I've always had great service here, especially when sitting at the bar. It's a great date night spot and has a cozy atmosphere with a location that can't be beat. My only complaint is that we weren't allowed to stay and chat after we finished our meal even though the restaurant was pretty empty and there were tons of open tables near us. Asking someone to leave is rude in general but is understandable if there's a wait. However, we were considering ordering dessert or more drinks and then were kinda turned off when we were told to leave so they could fill our table. We hadn't even been there an hour and had just finished our meal. This obviously won't stop me from coming back, but I just felt the need to mention it since it obviously affected my experience.

If you haven't been here yet, what are you even doing?? This place is amazing. If you want fresh, homemade pasta at a good price, this is your sign. We went for my mother in laws birthday, and I started to worry it was going to be too casual as there were no good photos of the "vibe". The website and other day time reviews call it "casual". At night, it's modern, clean, and moody with low lighting. It was worthy of being slightly dressy but I didn't feel weird in my more casual wear. We ordered Caesar salads, garlic bread, cheese bread, vecchia bettola spicy sausage campanelle, short rib ragu pappardelle, spaghetti and meatballs, and tiramisu. I'm a food lover, I love to make stuff from scratch at home, and you can tell the ingredients are quality and fresh. That garlic bread alone! I'm still thinking about this meal :) ***tried to capture the environment, but photos don't do a great job. Sorry!

Great neighborhood little gem that recently opened in the West Village. An extension of the original in Manhattan. I was with two friends and we had wonderful and efficient service from Jose. Food: started with the arancini (YUM!) and then shared two pasta dishes (you build your own by choosing the pasta, sauce and protein). NOTE: ALL of the pastas are fresh and made in-house...what a difference that makes. All pastas are $14 unless you add extra accompaniments. We choose 2 pastas - short rib ragu and shrimp scampi (see my pix for more details). We also shared the meatballs (the only thing we didn't enjoy), creamy ricotta (holy cow!) and the garlic bread (truly delicious!). Two of us had the very refreshing cucumber gin cocktail (love the crystal glasses...classy and very 1950s). We shared everything family-style as recommended by our server. Split between us it was $25 each (before the gratuity). Definitely check this charming spot out!

Great new little restaurant spot in the West Village area. (They opened where the Public School restaurant used to be). The inside is a little cold feeling, very airy and open feeling, not very romantic but also not very divey either. They do have outside seating as well. The staff were all nice and the service was quick. I ordered the Caesar salad ($9) and the Eggplant Parmesan ($9) and they were both very tasty and affordable ! My friend ordered the Shrimp Scampi pasta ($14) and the Wedge Salad ($9). She really enjoyed both. The sauce and the flavor was good. Overall it's a very affordable, new little Italian spot.

What can I say having been out of New York for over 15 years I was definitely craving some good pasta now I make good pasta OK so if I'm gonna go out to eat to have pasta, they need to be on point so I was down here with family visiting and my brother-in-law told me to go on yelp and pick out a place to go have dinner and I saw this place cause it's near where I wanna eventually relocate to And we decided to give it a try because all the dishes were basically under $21 or so and since we were family dining, which means budget considerations, this was a deal. My sister and I both had the pasta Nonna, which is absolutely delicious and it had eggplants on top Absolutely delicious my brother-in-law and his son my nephew they had the Bolognese, but it had some kind of beef or something in it and they inhaled it so my sister, brother-in-law and nephew we're all from New York. My brother-in-law was raving about this place to all his New York relatives. The next day on their Easter phone calls he said yeah we went out to this great place out here San Marzano and the pasta was great and he just raved about it so that is like the best compliment right there. I will be back when I move. I I can't wait.

We had a great time at San Marzano! The vibe in there is elevated casual which we enjoyed. The menu is small but I felt like there were still enough items for me to choose from. We started off with the arancini and Caesar salad which were fantastic. The two pastas we got were a short rib rigatoni and a vodka sauce rigatoni with spicy sausage. Some reviewers have commented on the portions not being enough but I felt they were enough. Service was friendly and did a good job as they continue to work through new opening logistical issues. We would certainly come back here!

Great little surprise! We stopped by for dinner and didn't realize how great this place would be. I appreciate the customizable menu- with the option to choose your pasta shape, sauce, and toppings. The portions were fair and the food was very well made. The pasta was cooked to perfection, and the sauces were unique enough without straying from traditional tastes. The service was great even though they were busy. We didn't ever go without something we needed.

THE FOOD IS BOMB! Trust me. Fresh pasta. BEST ESPRESSO MARTINI IVE EVER HAD!! The just rolled out brunch too. The service is excellent. Very new, nice and update! Josh is great. Nice fella and very welcoming! Ambiance is top tier. The environment in here is very smooth.

We went to San Marzano for lunch today. This place was casual yet with an elevated dining experience, making it suitable for both a relaxed lunch or a special date night. We were greeted pleasantly by the staff and seated. We started our meal with an appetizer & a salad. The Truffle Risotto was a great start, rich with earthy truffle flavor which was creamy & super tasty, and shared Roasted Pear Salad provided a refreshing balance with its sweet and savory notes. To kick off we enjoyed the classic Aperol Spritz, a perfect before the meal. For our main courses, We opted for the Vecchia Bettola with Rigatoni pasta, topped with a creamy burrata. The rigatoni was cooked perfectly to my liking. The rich, creamy tomato-vodka sauce was beautifully complemented by the burrata. And wife ordered Maialino with Pappardelle pasta. The wide ribbons pasta was buttery & creamy complementing the topped kale & pecorino cheese and paired it with a glass of Montepulciano D'Abruzzo the best on the list, which proved to be an ideal accompaniment to any pasta dishes. Service was friendly and attentive, special shout out to our host Juan. Overall, San Marzano is one of those restaurants that we walk in with a blank mind and walk out making this as one of our favorite Italian restaurants. Perfect portions for the price. I highly recommended this spot if you're in Uptown Dallas and in the mood for some fresh in house made pasta dishes!

I chose the rigatoni maialino and it was honestly one of the best pasta dishes I've ordered in a long time. Also please do yourself a favor and order the ciabatta garlic bread with melted mozzarella. It was without a doubt the tastiest garlic bread I've ever had.

The caesar salad was really great, but my pasta was mediocre. It tasted quite bland. Unfortunately, the tiramisu was also soggy. The servers were very kind and attentive however! There's also ample seating both inside and outside on the patio, which is a fun place to people watch.

This was such a pleasant dining experience. From the descriptions I've seen on instagram and TikTok, I was expecting a more casual vibe, but we went for dinner and the restaurant is chic, clean, and has nice ambient lighting. The food was so good, especially for the price. We had the cheeses garlic bread (so warm and gooey), and the burrata as appetizers. For my entree I went with the rigatoni with the alla Norma sauce and spicy sausage. The pasta was al dente which I prefer. My only wish was that there was a bit more eggplant. I'm excited to go back and try more variations, especially the pear and Gorgonzola ravioli

Solid Italian pasta place in West Village with affordable prices. I ordered Pappardelle Alla Norma (roasted eggplant, marinara sauce, pesto) substituting Ricotta cheese for mozzarella. I thought the pasta and sauce tasted great but it looked like someone in the kitchen simply used a spoon to grab the Ricotta and threw it on top of the pasta. Not sure what I expected but maybe ask the staff to exercise a little more care than slopping on a large spoonful of Ricotta. We also ordered the Arancini (crispy molten-mozzarella rice balls, served with marinara sauce), which tasted delicious but the appetizer only came with three. If you share an appetizer, I think they should give you four. We grabbed a seat at the bar and found a friendly bartender who gave great suggestions. We ordered a bottle of wine - very affordable and worth the investment. Two things we noticed. One the bar lacked anything that would absorb the noise. If the crowd gets large, the restaurant will become very loud and groups will have difficulty hearing themselves. The other is we checked under the bar and couldn't find a convenient purse hook for my companion. Easily solved by installing additional hooks. While it wasn't full, I noticed that it was moderately busy - a good sign. I live in the neighborhood and didn't recognize anyone, so it may draw from the local hotel. However, once word gets out about this place I believe it will become very popular! This was their fourth week and understandably they continue to work to get it correct. I believe this combination of solid food, affordable meals and drinks, lack of other affordable restaurants, along with the high density of residents will propel this establishment as a local favorite. West Village has needed an affordable dining option that locals will continue to attend. This one fulfills this need and doesn't compete with the few other restaurants in the area. Note to West Village - we need more affordable places like this.

This place matched the hype! Our waiter was super knowledgeable and helpful, plus his recommendations were spot on. The new recipe for garlic bread with house made bread was soft and everything you'd want in a garlic bread. The arancini balls were delicious too. It was hard to decide on the entrees because there are so many different combinations, but it's all good so it'll keep you coming back to keep trying different items. The pasta was perfectly chewy and held the butter sage sauce very well. Also, love the new interior update from the PS 214, it's a great vibe.

The Food was good and the bartender Jose was excellent, however when I tried to order something slightly off menu I felt like I committed a crime. There is no apparent management here and from what the staff tells me absentee, drop-in management which explains a lot. So for my simple side order of pasta that was on the menu it took a quorum of staff to decide to tell me NO even if I was willing to pay an up charge. I wouldn't go out of my way for this place and guessing it won't be around for the long haul with their current model. Not a Foodie friendly place!

Nice pasta place with a great vibe inside. Very chill and feels upscale. The prices seem like a big draw but they really scale the portions to it. Spent about 54$ after tip on this meal (includes two apps since bread is not included, and no drinks). With that, I honestly didn't really get full. Don't think this place is made for a big appetite. Better for a small meal and perhaps some drinks, which we didn't try. So, not impressed with the price to food ratio, but it honestly tasted really good. Pasta was simple but good, the meatballs and their sauce were fantastic. Service was good. Payment is immediate with a mobile pay device.

Food is amazing and delicious!! Just the right taste, not blah and not too overwhelming , portion size is just right for the price. Friendly staff as well . Their garlic bread with cheese is to die for. I ordered pear and gorgonzola with pappardelle pasta and chicken for protein. Their tiramisu is good too, not too sweet. Ambience is very chic, nice place to dine if you want some quiet lunch or quiet dinner with your better someone.

Service was horrendous.. Very unfortunate as my family drove over an hour to come here for my birthday dinner . My husband went to order and I don't remember the combination of sauce and noodles he was trying to do but the waitresses response was" absolutely not", now I'm all for guidance and advice from servers as they know the menu better and know what's good and not but I feel like there is a tactful way to do that ... this was not it. I feel like ever interaction with staff was just worse and worse felt like we were barely tolerated it truely was bazar and nothing like what I thought the experience was going to be based on socials Honestly considered more then once paying for the drinks and leaving but I think my husband was committed to the fact I wanted to come here for my birthday .

Homemade pasta full of flavor. I ordered the spaghetti and it comes with meatballs and this dish is full of flavor.

Went in Friday night at 9:50pm. Hostesses (3) were rude with nothing to say. Restaurant closes at 11pm. There were maybe five tables sat. Basically empty. We sat for 20 minutes before I went back to ask the hostesses to send over a server. They sent someone who cleared two settings and said he'd come back for our order then proceeded to run around and never come back. By 10:20 we gave up and left. I get that it's new but they are missing the most fundamental parts of being a decent restaurant. Who knows how the food is cause we didn't get to try it. Is there even a manager?

Jose was an excellent server. I had short rib ragu woth pappadelle and it was fantastic.

This is my first time leaving a yelp review (I did in fact create an account for this). I have never felt more uncomfortable at a restaurant than when I asked san marzano to accommodate an extra seat because we had another friend joining us. The waiter (Jose) told us that would absolutely not work but please do not leave because I will be very sad and cry in your food. He proceeded to linger at the table for 3 minutes staring at us as we tried to figure out how to tell our one friend she couldn't join us (even though there were 4 open tables next to us for the entirety of the dinner). He left and came back to the table approximately 60 seconds later to ask us if we were ordering drinks. We still had not figured out what to do at that point and asked him to please give us a second. We got guilt tripped into staying for dinner. He took our dinner orders then didn't wait our table for an hour. We were served our dinner and once it was clear we were not ordering anything else he avoided our table (very impressively so I will admit) for an hour until we finally had to grab the arm of another waitress nearby to ask her to grab him for our check. He brought our check around and asked for a 20% tip (beyond the already included 20% tip). Never going back here. Food was okay but service was abominable.

We will be coming back 100% It was amazing service our waiter Jose was great! We got the pesto with crispy chicken (our favorite), spicy sausage with vodka sauce, and the short rib ragu. Amazing prices and great wine! We will definitely be back

Our first time at San Marzano and it was certainly not our last! It was absolutely fantastic. Food and service were amazing. All of the food tasted so fresh and made in house from appetizers to dessert. Calamari was perfectly breaded with great dipping sauces, Caesar Salad was perfectly dressed with delicious croutons, We had the Chicken Parm w/Spaghetti, Tagliatelle with Ragu and the Pear and Gorgonzola Ravioli. Don't forget to add the Garlic Bread as it was unbelievably great! Cannoli and Tiramisu were both fantastic. Portions are pretty larger across the board but really great price for what you get. The new manager Brian was great to ask us how everything was and explain that he just started and is checking on things to make sure it's where they need to be. Our waiter as well was great and very attentive. The one minor thing was it needs a little but of umph in the ambiance department. It needs some art on the walls, something to soften it a bit, the large communal table needs to go (it was empty the entire meal) because it makes the restaurant look like it was empty even though it wasn't and then there is this huge open space inside the door where they need to add a host desk. As of now, there is no host desk and they are just kind of floating at the front door. Easy fixes to the atmosphere would add a ton to the energy of the space. Support this place, it's really worth it! It's a tad off the beaten path and I know how Dallasites are with that but find it and go NOW!!!

A wonderful meal that was quality with great service and reasonably priced. The ambiance was quite nice for a quiet meal with great conversation.

Dirty knives...acidic pasta...and tight seating didn't make it a happy valentines. But you know, sometimes a company may have it tough considering they planned for a small crowd but receive twice as many guest. But didn't you think about the following day when business would've slowed by not being a holiday? So if it wasn't planned to keep silverware clean on a busy day AND the one theme on the businesses mind was rush rush rush...why was there softsoap in such a fine establishment? SLOW DOWN. Think of the impact of rushing and then plan accordingly for success. I felt things were just thrown together...but the pasta itself tasted fresh even if the sauce tasted canned. I'm confunkled!

Excellent service with well priced and wide selection of homemade pasta! Salads and apps were good also.

My new Top favorite place in West Village ! If we lived in Dallas full time - I would be here every night . We came in for the Happy Hour to celebrate a special Birthday and stayed for the fabulous pasta and the bread . I always thought people who would babble on about "freshly made" pasta is such a game changer were going overboard- I apologize and now understand. The pasta here and the bread are next level YUM !!! The staff are amazing as well . It's the total package . Food , Fun atmosphere, location! I just saw you added Brunch !!! Will have to try that next time in Dallas . Keep it up well done . It's so consistently good- but the problem is it's so good I have hard time trying something different- cause the Short Rib Ragu is fabulous- the Meat Ball appetizer is lick the plate clean kinda good . What a great place to bring our friends when they visit ! Thanks for picking this neighborhood! We love you !!

Just had our first meal here and it won't be our last. We had the chopped wedge and garlic bread for an app and it was delicious. Being able to choose your pasta type and ingredients is great. Everything was wonderful, great new place in uptown. Josh was very knowledgeable and very engaging. We will definitely be back soon!

Went yesterday (6/8) with a table of 6 + a baby for my friend's birthday brunch. First of all, drinks (including my plain iced coffee) took at least 20 minutes...and the restaurant wasn't even half full. Apps came quicker thankfully, but this was the start of the food runners, for whatever reason, going to the end of the table with the baby and passing hot plates of food over his head, instead of standing in the middle or going to the other end. We had to ask for them to stop doing this, as it happened more than once. Once our food came, most of the orders were correct, however mine came out wrong. Instead of the cheesy eggs brunch entree (that also comes with an arugula salad), a very small plate of a side of scrambled eggs with nothing on them was brought to the table. We told the runner this wasn't the correct item, told her what was ordered, and her response was "so you don't want them..." and walked away. Our server didn't come back to the table until everyone else was almost done eating, and we explained what happened and that I still hadn't gotten my food. He said he was going to check on it and get my food out right away. I told him I just wanted to get them to go at this point. Another 20 minutes pass...a different server comes by and said my meal was removed from the bill but that they'd still bring it out to me to go any minute. About another 10 minutes, our original server comes by and my food STILL has not arrived (as a reminder, I ordered very SIMPLE cheesy eggs that came with an arugula salad). We ask for our checks. Mine and my partner's check, unsurprisingly based on how things have gone so far, still has my food that I never received on it. Had it removed, everyone paid, we left. Never got my food and barely got acknowledged it never came, hardly got a "sorry." Never coming back, never recommending the place. Would give zero stars if I could.

This was our first time to San Marzano. Was a great experience! Usually with new restaurants, you can tell they are working out the kinks still, however, that was not the case! Service was great and the atmosphere was very nice and comfortable. We sat at a table in the bar area and loved that we were able to see some of the football games while also having a nice atmosphere. For food, we got the garlic bread for appetizer, pappardelle bolognese and Campanelle with vodka sauce and then the cannoli for dessert. All were delicious! My boyfriend and I would both give our pastas a 4/5 stars-not the best pasta you've ever had in your life but very delicious with good flavors and homemade pasta noodles. The garlic bread was excellent as well. The cannoli was very good as well, my only wish would be that it have chocolate chips instead of just a powder on the top for the chocolate element. Last but not least the price was excellent! All wines were under $10 so we were able to get an appetizer, 2 entrees, 3 beverages, and a dessert for $71 which is a deal you can't beat-especially in West Village! Will for sure be a great spot for people coming to stay at the Canopy hotel as well. Will definitely be going back!

Great food and service. This is my third trip here and pleased each time. Food is superb and Jose was a great server. Extremely attentive with great recommendations

Ate here for the first time tonight and had a great experience! Food was really fresh and we had great service from Jose!
