We came for Valentines Day. The staff were friendly. The food was good though my friend who ordered the Fritto Misto wasn't happy. He said it wasn't at all crunchy but rather quite soggy. My Dover Sole was good and the Carbonara excellent.

Very disappointing experience. The food was mediocre at best, the service poor and overall it was really over prized.
This is supposed to be "fine dining", and it may have been a good restaurant once. But it's not good by any standard any longer.


The service was despondent, rude and slow. Even...

We have looked forward to trying Santini as it is in a very nice situation with outside dining. Dining there last night was a huge disappointment. The food was good without being outstanding - my wife enjoyed the calves liver main course and I was happy with the sea bass which although slightly over...

Been going here for years. The standard of food, and attention given by the staff, cannot be equalled. Don t go if you are not really hungry ! Although I am not a smoker, it is worth mentioning that there is a large patio area, with heaters, for those who need to.

Lets start with the positives - nice venue, above average service, and carbonara was good.

OK the negatives - I was told to try the italian smoked haddock cakes - for 20 pounds i thought it must be creative - it was a crusty pub meal deep fried two inch long stick of haddock with a couple of leav...

Short version: DO NOT GO HERE! THERE ARE PLENTY OF BETTER PLACES.

Long version :

Really poor service. If I had a choice between self service based restaurant and Santini, I would always choose self service. The waiters barely understand English, the management doesn't really care unless ther...

Very very disappointed... My wife and I used to love to come to this place and used to come almost every week, because we used to love the quality of the food here about 20 years ago before we had to move to outside the UK for business.
We now came back to the UK and revisited Santini to enjoy the ...

It is a high-quality Italian restaurant recommended by the Concierge at the Goling Hotel.
Casual smart is OK, but the atmosphere is good, it is a restaurant worth going to be fashionable.
There are a wide variety of wines and you can enjoy according to your cooking order.
I ordered the crab Lingu...

The food is very nice, but not necessarily worth the price. The wine selection is extensive, which was nice. The staff were very friendly and I was overall impressed with the staff other than a minor mistake. The best asset to this business is the staff, the food was somewhat overpriced and I would ...

I visited Santini as a guest for business. It's located on a quiet road off of Buckingham Palace Road. Decor is lovely. It's very luxe. Staff are very friendly. One of our servers was wearing a kind of boiler suit getup. Wasn't sure if he was a chef or something but I liked it. The food was deliciou...

Service was as expected and all staff were very nice but I was quite unimpressed with the food. We made reservations and had no problem being seated. The staff were professional and the food was served quickly. I thought the bread was fine More

I've been for lunch a couple of times and once for dinner. It is definitely on the expensive side but every time I've been I've really enjoyed it - a great place for al fresco dining in their enclosed terrace at the back of the restaurant, surrounded by olive trees.



I've tried a couple of the...

Not at all impressed with the food or staff. I went with my sister there in July and two other friends. The food is simple and overpriced, and the staff very rude. My sister posted a review on tripadvisor and the owner of Santini Restaurant just posted a reply just as rude as her staff. No wonder th...

This was a short walk from our hotel and the menu looked great. There is outside seating with heaters and it looked very romantic. We are from USA and found the waiters could barely understand us, also smoking is allowed in the outdoor seating area (it is NOT in the USA) so the whole time we were ea...

So disappointed. Had a lunch meeting here during the week. I ordered the chargrilled rib eye. Cooked medium. It was tougher than the devils father. The pesto was ok, pepper sauce was tasteless and oily. I also had mash on the side. It was also terrible. Should have ordered some sea food as it didn ...

Traditional Italian restaurant close to Victoria. Always busy at lunchtime particularly in summer as it has a wonderful terrace. Food is always good but as there is no special menu at lunchtime so it can work out expensive. Had the smoked tuna to start, generous portion, followed by the clam spaghet...

I used to love this restaurant and have always recommended it as the best Italian in London but visited tonight after a long break and was very, very disappointed. Very poor service, bland, overpriced food and every extra charge under the sun. No wonder it was half empty on a Saturday night. It s...
