Al Santo deli in Hammersmith and Fulham

I rarely write reviews but credit’s due here! Great food, a warm welcome, special mention to Oreste who made us feel at home (he even spontaneously offered to move us to a table by the window so we could enjoy the view once the people there had left). We left the restaurant feeling warm and happy :)

The atmosphere is AMAZING, and I love the energy the owner has! My fiancée and I had the most romantic evening here, and I highly recommend the mousaka!

A great mix of tradition and creativity!!!!!!!

Full 5 stars for this restaurant experience. The food was exceptionally good but what made our evening really special was the warm and friendly atmosphere created by Oreste and his team. This is eating out at its best!

Gran ambiente con comida encantadora! Un lugar lleno de gente que todos contribuyen al sentimiento social! Por último, pero menos importante - el propietario y el chef; Cosas de leyendas! (también podría ser el hecho de que hemos tomado 1 - 2 copas de vino...)

A very good classic Greek-Italian restaurant with soft background music, exceptionally friendly staff, and delicious dishes. The Moussaka, in particular, was outstanding!

Lied about opening hours, we made a trip there and it was closed

Absolutely perfect. No criticism whatsoever!

Thought this place was great. The owner was kind and friendly and helped us to pick our menu choices! The waitresses and waiters were great too — I felt we were well looked after! Food was great — the mushroom pasta was lovely. My one thought was that the menus seemed a little outdated and could look a lot better. I liked that they were in vinyl slipcases but the laminate look with the comic sans style font wasnt my favourite!

We had a lovely dinner on Saturday, the food and the service were amazing. I can’t recommend this place enough 😊

Such a great evening at El Santo! They took a late table at 9pm for 2, which we really appreciated. The staff were fantastic and really attentive, so friendly (we hung around at the end for a chat with the host) and the atmosphere in there was lovely. The food was fab and the wine was really yummy too! Would 100% go back.

Amazing food! The dessert was delicious and the place was very nice and welcoming. The owner of the restaurant speaks fluent Portuguese and provides very good service. I recommend it!!

Been at Al Santo couple of times and been very nice. Thanks at Oreste and the staff.

Delicious, authentic food, cozy atmosphere, delightful service. Will absolutely be returning!

Happened upon this cosy elegant restaurant and happy we did. Excellent food and incredibly attentive and friendly staff. Made for a lovely evening. We went back the next evening with friends!

Our local date night restaurant. I have never been disappointed. It’s always perfect. Owner is right there and the atmosphere is super cozy. It’s a lovely place. Give it a try 👍🏼

Such a lovely restaurant with great food and amazing service - I forgot a notebook which the maitre’d, Oreste, chased me up the street to return. So impressive and kind!

Friendly staff, amazing carbonara, stylish and detailed oriented interior design, great atmosphere and it’s even dog friendly, what else can you ask for! Definitely 5 stars.

Exceptional Dining Experience at El Santos El Santos is a truly cozy and welcoming restaurant that offers some of the best cuisine in the area. Their menu is carefully curated, and their selection of wines is simply outstanding. What truly sets El Santos apart, however, is the incredible staff. They always make us feel like family, providing warm and attentive service that enhances the entire dining experience. Whether it’s a dinner with my boyfriend or a gathering with friends, we always leave delighted with everything they have to offer. I highly recommend El Santos to anyone looking for an exceptional restaurant. It’s a solid 10/10 in every aspect!

We stumbled into this restaurant by chance e and it has quickly become my favourite restaurant in Fulham and top 5 in London itself. The service is incredible, the best service I have received, they are attentive, welcoming and hospitable. The manager is incredible and the atmosphere in the restaurant is second to none. Food is amazing (get the tiramisu and bruschetta!!!) and all the staff are knowledgable about what they are serving genuinely no faults to say about this place!

Wonderful little family run spot, great food and friendly staff!

Such a great find! We were lucky enough to have our wedding reception here and it was beautiful ! The staff were so lovely (special thank you to Oreste) and the food was outstanding. The chefs were super accommodating and were able to whip up vegan and vegetarian options for our guests on the spot! A massive thank you Al-Santo restaurant!

recommended and didn't disappoint. really wonderful. service, food, wine. try it you will go no where else after. Their ham.........lush.

I had a wonderful dinner at Al Santo on the 06th of February 2025. The team is genuinely welcoming and the service prompt and attentive. Excellent recommendations beyond the menu, with the day specials and wine to our taste. Honest, good quality food , reasonably priced. A true gem! Deborah took really good care of us, and so did Oreste. We will certainly be back!

This restaurant is a true gem! The food was absolutely delicious, offering both Greek and Italian dishes—two of my favourites. The atmosphere was wonderful, and the manager was attentive, making us feel truly welcome. The most delightful surprise was seeing the owner working in the kitchen, clearly cooking with passion. My partner and I loved it and will definitely be back! Highly recommended!

Really enjoyable experience all round! Loved the tortellini especially, really incredible dish

A lonely meal - oreste and his team are all great, and we particularly loved the Tortelloni

Food was amazing Staff was really friendly and welcoming

Our favourite local restaurant. Friendly staff and lovely food

Amazing authentic food and service!

Vaya, qué bonito restaurante auténtico. Una mezcla realmente encantadora de estados griegos y platos italianos y postres. No habíamos reservado, pero pasamos y el restaurante parecía tan acogedor. Volvimos, vinimos y preguntamos si tenían una mesa y por suerte para nosotros lo hicieron. Muy buena comida, personal encantador y un hermoso restaurante. No habíamos planeado venir aquí, pero nos encontramos aquí por accidente y estamos muy contentos de que haya sucedido. Las mejores notas y en nuestra próxima visita a Stamford Bridge (¡vamos Chelsea mujeres mañana!) sin duda volveremos. Si usted está en la zona, sin duda dar una oportunidad a este pequeño restaurante hermoso.

What a lovely place, top notch service, super friendly owner and lovely, lovely food!

Very cozy and typical Italian restaurant with amazing food and wine list! Also great service from the very attentive staff. Paolo and Oreste made our night as well as the girls were amazing!! We will definitely return and we recommend to everyone!

Gran servicio. Ambiente muy agradable. Comida insípida. Mi hijo tenía el pesto fetichínico y yo la carbonara. ¡Muy mal!

AL SANTO es realmente la joya del Fulham. Un cálido y acogedor lugar rezumante carácter y siempre un servicio acogedor y sentido de principio a fin. Comida maravillosa como de costumbre y siempre emocionante para probar algo nuevo fuera del menú. El plato de Atenas y calamaretti fritti estaban deliciosos. Gracias por ponernos sonrisas en la cara : )

Spent my New Years Eve there. Lovely cozy restaurant. Amazing service and absolutely delicious food and cocktails. Highly recommended!!

Fantastic food, service and staff. If we had more nights we would have returned.

You can taste the passion in every dish!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wonderful experience! Paulo was very nice and received us very happy. Was our first restaurant when we got to London and it was and unforgettable experience. The pasta is very tasty and every ingredient feels very fresh.

This place is the definition of a hidden gem. The whole staff was so kind and welcoming. Food was fabulous– highlights were the spanakopita, nduja bruschetta, and pistachio gelato with olive oil and maldon (will be dreaming about all of these wow). Loved the Christmas decorations and candle sticks as well- so cozy.

A perfect mix of Greek and Italian. Service and food were just amazing!!

Very good. A small menu, featuring a well chosen selection of dishes from across the Med. we had Spanish tapas to start, a great cannelloni, then some fancy cake to finish. Yum. Oh and good wine. A different way to warm up to a football match and not far to walk either. Every mouthful was delicious, especially the espresso at the end.

Great food, Great Service! And very friendly and welcoming !

Food was okay, was slightly pricey for the quality and size in all honesty. The service was okay albeit a bit chaotic. Atmosphere was nice and authentic. Not sure we would return though.

It is a very small place. Tables are too close to each other. The prices are way too high for what you get back. The food I had there was was just ok, if not even below average.

Had a lovely meal here last night. Fantastic service and delicious food. Both small plate and main meal options were great.

Best tiramisu I’ve had in London! Everything feels homey, from the atmosphere to the delicious dishes.

Muchas gracias por todo, la experiencia fue excelente y todo fue perfecto. La comida era deliciosa, el servicio era impecable, y el ambiente lo hacía aún más agradable. Realmente apreciamos sus esfuerzos para hacer de esta experiencia gastronómica tan memorable. Esperamos volver a visitar pronto!

What a little gem of a place. We were visiting our son at uni and had a lovely meal together here. We will be back.

Happened to come across this restaurant after watching the football tonight & so glad we did. Very accommodating on a very busy Saturday evening, managed to find us a table. Food & service was amazing & the manager is so friendly as are all the staff, nothing is too much trouble. Pasta is freshly made & can honestly say it’s one of the nicest meals I’ve ever had. Thank you !

I walked past a few times and always wanted to try it. When I finally did, I was not disappointed! Excellent service, excellent food! Great time with friends! Five stars on every level!

Beautiful beautiful beautiful place, great atmosphere for a relaxed but kind of romantic night with a great service and food.

Great place, wonderful pasta. Orestes is an excellent manager.

Amazing food, owner is so very nice. He came to check on us a few times and is so friendly. 10/10 recommend. Great place

Excellent tiramisu, great atmosphere, and super friendly staff!

Nice place, great Italian food. Oreste and all his staff are number one in welcoming and making you feel at home.

An experience to recommend. The food is excellent and Oreste with his staff make the difference. Beautifull.

This place is the local favorite of ours. Every time my wife and I get the chance to have friends and family over to visit, we love to take them here. The food is consistently amazing and the staff is always super hospitable!

Lovely intimate place with nice ambiance and great service. Staff were very knowledgeable and attentive. Food was good and would definitely come again. Great Mojito.

such a warm and inviting restaurant that it truly feels like home. Every dish we tried was absolutely delicious and full of flavor. The staff is incredibly friendly and welcoming, making you feel like part of the family. The music and atmosphere perfectly complete the experience. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a cozy, delightful dining spot!

Great food and amazing service! I had dinner after the Chelsea game glad I stumbled into this restaurant.

Super friendly staff and great food!

Second time visiting Al Santo, this time with a larger group, and what a special evening it was! Incredible food, beautiful ambiance and vibe, super helpful and friendly staff - all in all, a great culinary experience and cannot wait to come back again! Grazie Al Santo!

Went here for dinner last week. Friendly waiting staff and manager/owner. Good authentic Italian food in a nice area.

A wonderful restaurant for the whole family ❤️

Sensational. Best night out in Fulham. Wonderful staff, welcoming restaurant. Could not fault a thing.

Here’s a Dined at Al Santo last night with my friend Emma, and we had an absolutely fabulous time! The staff took such great care of us, and the food was a perfect 10/10. We started with the bruschetta with funghi and truffle—absolutely delicious—and enjoyed two different types of tortelloni, both beautifully presented and bursting with flavor. As an Italian, I can say this is truly authentic Italian cuisine. It’s not my first visit and certainly won’t be my last. Can’t wait to go back!

Delicious food. Beautifully taken care of by the staff! Perfect place for a birthday meal.

Went there with my husband as walk-ins and the staff managed to find us a table so we can have dinner. Very nice rustic atmosphere in the restaurant. The food was very tasty and the fresh pasta really exceptional! All the waitresses and Orestis had their attention to us and the rest customers and made our experience in the restaurant unique, and made us feel very welcomed and well taken after.

Amazing food and service, would suggest trying the specials, worth it and very fresh :) The owner is personable and has a great sense of humour!

Carbonara very nice would highly recommend. Very friendly staff with great service and a lovely atmosphere. Would highly recommend

The 3 of us had the best dining experience in the 5 weeks we have been in England. We are going back for our last meal in London, tonight. The main courses were superb and desserts not to be missed. But even better was the warm and professional staff. If we lived here it would be our local choice. Very much looking forward to our meal tonight.

Amazing lunch at Al Santo. We had the chicken and briam with a great pear tart. This was very yummy 😋

Lovely, dimly lit little restaurant. I had the oxtail special and treated myself to a dessert wine after. Traveling alone, I brought a book and read it in the corner. Feels like a throwback to when restaurants were just pleasant and had good food. No pretension to be quirky, just happy to make you a good meal.

In theory a nice restaurant, but REALLY average food and unbelievably overpriced. Not sure where all these good reviews have come from.

Came here for dinner late Saturday night. Great food and welcoming staff. We’ll definitely be back.

Superb! A Mediterranean mix with Italian and Greek working well together. The place was buzzing on the Friday night we visited, but they managed to find us a table - the resto gods must have been smiling on us… Quirky staff (in a good way) making some excellent though not pushy recommendations. Wine list really good if a bit pricey for one who doesn’t live in London, but the food took first place. Ragu, carbonara as excellent far-from-everyday dishes. The day’s special was delicious large ravioli filled with swordfish and served with a prawn sauce, tomatoes and mixed salad. Totally to be recommended and, if you can, give the special a whirl.

Everyone was super kind and welcoming. Food was genuine Italian and delicious!

Such an amazing restaurant. From the main to the desert everything was so good. Thanks again !

My brother and I popped into Al Santo for a drink and starter to share and really enjoyed our experience there! The drinks were delicious and well made, the calamari starter was big enough to share (which is normally never the case with seafood!), and the staff were super friendly and welcoming. The manager took the time to have a chat with us and introduce himself which was lovely and gave us such a great sense of community! We will definitely be back for a full meal in the near future 😊

What a top place. Lovely atmosphere and perfect for a post match (Chelsea) bite to eat and bottle of wine. Really enjoyable and great food.

Lovely restaurant with great food, superb service and cozy atmosphere. Will definitely be coming back!

Such a lovely little restaurant on a quiet street in Fulham. We come for all our birthday dinners and they always make us feel so welcome and celebrated. We highly recommend to not skip dessert and get the pistachio delice. A special shout-out too to Oresto who always visits our tables and gives us wonderful suggestions.

Spectacular. Perfect spot for a date night. Food was excellent, really a highlight both for the area and generally. Just Cozy and good.

Absolutely great food, service, and atmosphere. My family was treated so well and the food was delicious.

Great homely atmosphere, attentive and caring service and delicious food. A Fulham classic, cannot be missed!

Great for an al fresco dinner on a summer's evening. Limited vegetarian options, however staff were very accommodating and my main course was delicious.

Excellent cuisine, impeccable reception staff!!

Thoroughly recommend Al Santo! Lovely authentic dishes and amazing fresh pastas. Cosy atmosphere and friendly staff. We will be back- thank you Oreste!

Auténtica comida maravilloso servicio en todo Este restaurante tiene una verdadera sensación familiar rústica al respecto el señor siciliano que le da la bienvenida y administra restaurante es maravilloso un frente de casa muy anticuado una parte absolutamente vital de la experiencia Lamento mucho que me dijo que se llama, pero estoy seguro de que es tan único que entiende de quién estoy hablando. La comida era maravillosa el filete cocinado perfectamente. Cuando fui al baño, observé la zona de cocina, una cocina de la vieja escuela que funcionaba de verdad con comunicación de preparación y trabajo duro. Me encantó la comida y principalmente la experiencia Gracias. Volveremos. Robin

A trip to Palermo in the heart of London. Atmosphere, cuisine and welcome, everything is perfect.

Delicious Italian and Greek food service were so nice I highly recommend it

An excellent meal in a warm atmosphere. The service is perfect and the owner Oresto is very attentive. I highly recommend this restaurant. An excellent meal in a fantastic atmosphere. The service is perfect and the owner Oresto is very attentive. I highly recommend this restaurant.

Very good meal and Service!! We will come back for sure.

I’ve eaten here before and had a good experience however had a really upsetting one tonight. Having had some buratta (which was obviously sour and thick/curdled even to sight let alone taste), I mentioned this to the waitress and said I wouldn’t want another one. She took it to the chef to try, came back, and told me the chef said the buratta was fine and I would still have to pay for it. A bit mind blown…

Beautiful local spot for dinner! The staff were extremely welcoming and we felt very at home. There is some lovely outdoor seating, but the interior is also gorgeous and cosy. The food was excellent and they even served us some limoncello on the house after they found out it was one of our birthdays! Looking forward to coming back.

Food is great, staff are nice- 10/10

really nice Italian place in Fulham - excellent food (always ask for the specials!), wonderful tiramisu, friendly and welcoming staff. have been back twice in 3 weeks!

I loved the attention and the delicious food.

The ambient was so cozy and amazing. The food tasted delicious and we were fulfilled. The staff were friendly and helped us to decide our dishes. Recommended for everyone who wants to try Italian and Greek food.
