Tenuta San Marco operates as a working restaurant in southeastern Sicily, which means your catering is handled on-site by professionals managing 50+ covers regularly.
Located in Noto's countryside, the venue leverages its restaurant operations to streamline logistics—no outside catering permitted, but also no coordinating multiple vendors.
The Baroque architecture of the region provides authentic period backdrop without requiring decoration.
We were blown away with this venue and immensely enjoyed the 3 nights we spent here over the New Years Eve and NYE day functions. NEWS YEARS EVE WAS GREAT!! The food, the service, the hospitality and accomodation is first class. Giorgio and his team are very friendly and welcolming. If you want a genuine experience on how the locals eat and celebrate, Tenuta San Marco is a must visit. We're very much looking foward to returning again and bringing as many friends from Australia the next time. Easy to get to and centrally located to Noto and Palazzolo which are also a must visit Grazie mille for a very memorable time.
