Fantastic restaurant with amazing food and super friendly service. You step in from the A60 and you are transported to the almalfi coast with a great Italian restaurant. We had an excellent meal out for my dads 70th birthday. The staff were friendly and helpful and nothing was too much to help him celebrate. The food - wow! The food was just fantastic. Great portion sizes and so delicious. The calzone was just amazing and the profiteroles were just sensational. It was my first time visiting and it won’t be my last. Great place.

Beautiful atmosphere and ambience, perfect service, the young lady would be a credit to any business. The food was delicious, authentic Italian.. the owner was lovely too. Can’t fault the place, can’t wait to go back!

The food was perfectly cooked and authentic. We both had seafood pasta dishes. I don't usually order seafood when I'm out as it's hard to get right . But the muscles and prawns were fresh and cooked to perfection, as was the pasta. The garlic bread was stone baked and delicious. The customer service was great and the Mediterranean surroundings and atmosphere made this meal feel special.

This was our first visit to Santinis but we were greeeted like old friends. The staff were wonderfully welcoming and made us feel at ease. The food was incredible, from the pate starter to the beef stroganoff, every bite was delicious. We were not rushed through our courses and felt welcome to stay and relax after our meal. Another huge plus for me, the bathroom was incredibly clean and well maintained. All in all, a delightful evening from start to finish, we will definitely be returning.

Had a wonderful meal at Santini. Amazing food and very welcoming. My wife and I have food allergies and they were very helpful and accommodating. My wife who is gluten free said the pizza she had was the best she has ever had. They make the dough themselves on site. They also very good at cleaning surfaces down to avoid any cross contamination. This is amazing service. Will be going again soon.

Visited on Friday evening with my partner after winning a Facebook competition. The service from all the staff was fantastic, everyone was so polite and friendly. We both had a starter and a main and the food was fresh, hot and extremely tasty. We had such a great experience and would definitely recommend to anyone to visit.

We came here for my daughter’s 18th birthday, 10 of us. The food was delicious, service was good & they really let us enjoy the evening without any pressure. Everyone said how beautiful their food was. Thank you for making her 18th memorable
