ristorazione — Böhmenkirch · Baden-Württemberg
In Böhmenkirch, in Baden-Württemberg, there is an address where Germany pauses at the threshold and lets Sicily in. Marinella Brucchieri crossed Europe in 1995, bringing with her recipes, rhythms and the gift for hospitality of someone who knows what it means to set a table.
Cross the threshold of San Marco, and the aroma and warmth of authentic Italian cooking welcome visitors before a single word is spoken. Marinella Brucchieri is originally from Sicily, where she worked as an elementary school teacher: in 1995 she arrived in Germany to devote herself to the family restaurant business, bringing the traditions of her homeland to the table every day without compromise or imitation.
The dining room at San Marco is spacious and welcoming: a place designed not only for everyday dinners but for the occasions that matter. The restaurant organises private events and set festive menus (festmenü) for up to three hundred people, with the same care given to every table. Anyone arriving for a birthday or a family celebration finds hospitality that leaves nothing to chance.
From the kitchen come crisp, fragrant pizzas made according to the Italian school, traditional dishes and desserts that melt in the mouth, accompanied by a selection of Italian wines and spirits. A quality recognised from the outside too: San Marco received the Eccellenze Italiane distinction for its fidelity to the standards of Italian gastronomy, marked by a visit from the mayor of Böhmenkirch.
At the finish line, the dish that arrives at the table is the destination of a journey more than thirty years long: from Sicily to Böhmenkirch, without losing anything along the way.
