Established in 1984, Santini is one of the oldest, family run restaurants in London, with style-a-plenty. Its al fresco terrace, chic and atmospherically lit restaurant and sophisticated private dining room make it a stylish and comfortable venue. Santini is known as a favourite haunt of the great and the good, celebrity clients, tourists and locals, and all are made most welcome. Santini’s menu celebrates the simplicity of the most authentic Italian cuisine, using fresh, light flavours of the best ingredients Dining at Santini is a must: a relaxed lunch inside or with or without “well-behaved” dogs on the unique terrace, which is dotted with olive trees during warmer months, to an intimate dinner either in the restaurant or a larger party of private and business diners in the private dining room. Look no further for a business presentations venue as Santini’s boardroom caters for them too. Smoking of cigarettes and cigars is available on the terrace throughout the year.

We were not welcomed into the restaurant initially but our table was in a pleasant window seat. The menu we felt was overpriced and not as good as we would've hoped. We were also told that the kitchen was closed if we wanted a warm dessert.

The Umami platter was absolutely fantastic, and the lamb chops were delicious. Drink prices were slightly high, but the quality of the food and setting certainly offset that minor complaint.

Two pasta dishes were mediocre and the £77 Sole was good enough in quality but price surprising. Service was excellent and ambience excellent .
