Great pizzas, pastas and cocktails. The Agrigento (sausage & pep with garlic sauce base) is the best. Great service, knowledgeable staff, and comfortable atmosphere. Passion goes into what they do here and it shows. Definitely a must try if you are a fan of Italian food.

This is the best Italian place that I've ever been to. Pizza is amazing, appetizers are amazing, drinks (you guessed it) amazing. Just the leftover crust from the pizza is better than the entire pizza at most places. Santo and Greg (the owners) are the nicest gentlemen and greet every guest. Laura is our favorite waitress, she is always amazing. Service is always fantastic, even when they are busy.If you want the best Italian food around, this is the only place to go. Just make sure you make a reservation.

Great food, great atmosphere. Reminds me of a better punch pizza if you have familiarity with the twin cities.

The pizza was delicious. Crust had a great chew & crunch from the wood fire oven. Thin crust. Toppings were - just enough. The calamari was good, and the bruscetta was scrumptious.I can't say enough about the kindness of the staff, over the top!The atmosphere is cozy. Take your loved one or a first date. You'll be going back. It'll be a favorite, trust me.Be certain to make reservations.There are 2 small steps to get into the restaurant. I did not see another way in for wheelchairs.There is street parking.
Thr food was all delicious, but why when you somewhere expensive for the great food the drinks are super expensive alsoA drink is a drink you're already paying a ton for the great food so why charge 3 times as much for the same drink you can get somewhere else... Just a thought for you

Always great food, ambiance and service and drinks. Have never had a bad thing to say when visiting
You'll likely never be disappointed in the food you get here, truly, this place is a gem. I try to be picky about giving out my 5 star reviews, but Santino's has earned it. It is a perfect date night location, with their extensive wine list and delicious food or just a nice night out with friends! My friend I went with is Gluten Free, and our waitress was extremely kind in ensuring that her food was safe from any cross contamination! That kind of service is sometimes hard to find.

Ate here tonight for the first time with my son and daughter and it was an amazing experience from the moment we walked in the door. We were greeted immediately by a hostess, and as we were being seated one of the two owners walked over to greet us and shook our hands as well. Our server, Tom, was amazing. Very engaging, explained the specials in detail down to the ingredients used to make each plate and answered our questions about other dishes and made recommendations to us. He was beyond friendly, worked very efficiently around us and visited our table at least 5 times during our dinner experience. The food….5 Stars on each item we ordered and we shared two desserts that were equally amazing as the food. On our way out the second owner was at the front, thanked us for coming in, asked us about our service and the food and was super friendly as we discussed their background and when they first opened up the restaurant.I will certainly be back and I will bring and recommend this place to all my family and friends.Thank you Santinos Little Italy for a wonderful experience.
If you want real SICILIAN food, this is where you need to be! And the hospitality is beyond positive
