We were served by Olti the manager, he was awesome, funny and happy. He catered for our needs and was extremely polite. We spent 52 between 2 of us...had a 3 course meal aswell as soft drink. Very clean, superb atmosphere and FREE PARKING..this is always a bonus. We'll definitely be coming back.

Our favourite restaurant in Bolton. From our first date to married we always come here for their delicious food. Food here is always delicious especially the lobster linguine, lobster & steak and so much more! Really good price for the amazing food! Staffs are friendly! Definitely recommended!

Excellent evening with friends who dine here often. Really nice menu from the early bird on offer. Lovely decore, clean toilets ( a big thing for me). Great friendly attentive service. Looking forward to returning but the drive from Blackpool isn't in our favour. Thank you.

We've had 2 anniversary meals with nearly 40 people in attendance this year. San Marino was the only choice. The staff were amazing and the facilities there are top notch. The views surrounding are just a beautiful bonus. We were able to have the entire bottom section of the restaurant for the whole night and the staff we really helpful and accommodating. All our requests were met (we completely changed the table layout) and were able visit several times beforehand and set up early. The food is on the pricey side but not one of the nearly 80 people we were with minded one bit as it was excellent. Highly recommended

Absolutely love it here!! There’s always a great atmosphere, the food is always delicious and cooked to perfection which is why we come back time and time again. The husband had the paella Espana this evening which was the first time he’d had this here and he said it was as good as the ones we have out in Spain if not better. It certainly looked better than what we have in Spain. Brad was today’s waiter and was very efficient and friendly. Thanks for the fantastic service and finally thanks to the manager who always manages to squeeze us in at the last minute when we just randomly decide to go out for tea. (Sorry, we still don’t know your name.)

San Marino is undoubtedly the best restaurant in Bolton, and it has become apart of our family’s weekly routine for dining and drinks. We had a birthday celebration there, where they impressively served 73 guests simultaneously, which was astonishing. The food is exceptional, thanks to the talented chefs. The front-of-house staff is outstanding, consistently going above and beyond to ensure a wonderful experience. Overall, I would rate it a perfect 10 out of 10.
