Four diners and two of our dishes were excellent and almost justified the prices. Two pasta dishes were mediocre and the £77 Sole was good enough in quality but price surprising. Service was excellent and ambience excellent .

Wonderful ambience and service was excellent, we sat outside on the beautiful patio. The crab pasta and scallops were delicious. However the price of almost $100 per person for dinner with one glass of wine is too much .. perhaps explains why it was almost empty at 7:30p on a Saturday evening.

There are a lot of Italian restaurants in London. Some owened and managed by people who have never seerm Italy . Those are rubbish. That is not the case of Santini but service and even food did not match the quality of some years ago only prices are kept at the same level, on the higher side.

We booked a reservation for dinner and arrived to a busy dining area and thankfully we were able to sit in the lounge area at the bar. It was quieter and you were not sitting on top of the person next to you. That’s just not what we want when going to dinner. The olives on the appetizers were disappointing and not at all what we were expecting from an Italian restaurant. It was a dish of green olives with pits - overpriced. The veal ragu was delicious and the crab linguine. But overall It was a pricey meal in a bar area lounge in very tired looking chairs.

Very nice restaurant, looks great when you walk in. We had a starter and a main. Burratta to start, seafood linguini and carbanara. Food was nice and very pleasant but not sure it was worth the cost. Also they took the wine list away from us twice without checking we had finished with it. Had to have it returned each time. Overall a nice restaurant, maybe the postcode warrants the price but I didn’t leave feeling it was deserving of it.

We were not asked if we wanted indoor or outdoor. We were sat outdoor and it was incredibly windy. There were also bees. Not much they could do about that. Food was ok. Very overpriced.

The food is very tasty and worth the money!!! However, the staff is just awful. They made at least 5 mistakes during dinner (brought different drinks/food compared to what we ordered). For example, when we ordered red wine they brought rose and vice versa. Also, when we paid in cash, the manager told us that she doesn’t have 5£ to give for change (when our bill was over 400£), and told us that she can’t give us the change. I think that’s totally unacceptable when you pay that much money. The waiters were also looking at us as if we own them something: would recommend this place for good food, but not good service.

Honestly don’t know why this restaurant isn’t more known - the artichoke starter is the most incredible thing ever. Crab salad was great. Sitting outside on the terrace is so lovely. Service was excellent in a time when it’s not great at many London restaurants. We had a lovely lunch. Never felt rushed and nothing was too much trouble. It was pretty empty but I imagine it’s busier in the evening. Perfect for a summer evening but indoor decor is also nice. Highly recommended

We were SO disappointed with Santini. We used to come here before we had children and decided to come back with them! The food was good, but the restaurant was very run down. The waiter seemed in a rush - slightly agitated. We did feed back to the staff, but they didn't seem too bothered. For £60 a main course, I would expect better interior maintenance! What a shame.

Returning to London after 8 year absence, I had chosen Santini for our family special meal. Long one of my favorite restaurants, it lived up to my memories and was unanimously approved. The food was every bit as good as I had remembered though once again I failed to get paste the pasta. With a party of six, we started with the mixed platter which not exceeded expectations, we were allowed to exchange the anchovies for an additional order of parmigiana. In addition we had to order a Tricolore salad - an absolute must for me. We each ordered a pasta foolishly believing we have room to split a couple second courses but settled for deserts that didn’t disappoint. It was a perfect evening that even a awkward moment caused by an inexperienced waiter became humorous and added to the evening. Best of all, while not inexpensive, it’s a great bargain. Still the restaurant I remembered and still one of my favorites.

The ravioli was good. The spaghetti carbonara was just average, I have had much better in restaurants and by home chefs. The lemon tart with chocolate rosemary crust was excellent. The food was overpriced for the quality of it, I don't mind paying for quality. We had arrived in a taxi, since my wife needs a cane to walk. When we asked them to call one when we were leaving they said "NO, Victoria Station is just down the street, you can walk there". We will not return here and advised the concierge at our hotel, who recommended it, about this issue. He was very displeased.

The restaurant is aesthetically beautiful and my family and I have dined here several times in the past. However, we were let down by the bar, my first mixed drink was undrinkable, so I ordered a glass of wine. My dinner companion had a delicious Hugo spritz, but when they wanted to order a second, was informed that would not be possible as they had run out of the ingredients! In fairness, our server offered to take my original, barely touched drink off the bill, without my asking, however when the bill came, the drink charge was still on the bill. When I questioned it, the manager seemed angry, but took it off the bill. The food was not much better. We shared the artichoke appetizer which tasted very nice, but was undercooked and created a challenge to eat. My companion’s pasta was underwhelming. The winner for the evening was the mango, prawn & avocado salad that is listed as a starter, but was generous enough as a main course. I have only written two restaurant reviews in my life, so all I have to say is, Santini, you were such a lovely restaurant, what happened?!?!

...sadly not impressed - O.K., first the positives. Food very good, wine very good, martini not as dry as ordered although it was "dirty" as ordered. Our experience was not brilliant - let me explain. Welcome so/so. We ordered Apéritifs. My Martini was delivered as "old school" - far too much Vermouth. We also said we can order the food now, so we did. However, we'd only got a third of the way through our drinks when the food arrived along with the wines! O.K. we thought, let's keep the Apéritifs for after the meal and not bother with dessert - they had not asked us when we would like the food brought to the table. The table staff seemed totally disinterested. Thus, we ate well, finished our Apéritifs, paid the bill and then left feeling somewaht "flat" and that we'd been "hurried". Once home I looked at the bill in more detail. We'd been charged a cover charge of £3.00 - but no bread or butter etc. etc. was delivered to our table! We also asked for simple tap water. On looking at the bill we'd been charged £6.50! This is "sharp" practice! Regading ambience, it's quite a "live" accoustic room - no problem with this. However, there was a particulary loud American businessman right over the other side of the room who totally spoilt any feeling of exclusivity...Would I recommend Santini to a friend? Based on this visit a resounding "no". It'a also a touch "pricey". They definitely need to "up their game" to justify the bill at the end. Maybe it was better when Frank Sinatra and Roger Moore dined there decades ago but, personally speaking, there are so many better London restaurants that deliver far more finer and professionally and are not so " wallet heavy" when the final bill arrives...My note to Santini - Pay attention to detail, up your game and provide true value for money...

On arrival we had to ask if we could hang our coats. Then the lady was confrontational, argumentative and rude about we only had 1.5 hours for our dinner reservation and I told you so… and I should have read so on Open Table. And that she rang to tell me - we never spoke and no voice message received. Just disappointing to arrive to this verging on hostile reception from a front of house person. 1.5 hours was fine but to have this attitude that was slightly aggressive wasn’t a great start to a romantic dinner.. having said this, all the other staff members were lovely and friendly and the food was great.

Service was efficient, the place was nicely furnished and well presented. but it wasn’t a very ‘happy’ or overly friendly atmosphere in the restaurant, I would say. Food was OK but significantly overpriced even for central London. The Belgravia location might justify the price points in the owners’ mind, maybe, but we won’t be rushing back. Examples: Olives £8 : just some green olives in a small ramekin. £45 for a crab salad starter that wasn’t that special. Mashed potato with the veal stew was quite dry. All in all, just generally ok, but that’s not a high enough standard for a meal for two costing around £240 (with only one mojito and a 125 ml glass of Franciacorta (£19) the only alcohol beverages ordered, no desserts and just 2 espressos at the end). £6.50 for a small bottle of still mineral water. We declined to pay the additional discretionary service charge, but didn’t argue with the two ‘cover charges’ of £1.50 each even though the inclusion of then seems a rather archaic practice in my opinion!

As someone who does not cook with a lot of salt at home, the meals were heavy on the sodium side. The lamb was well-seasoned, but the cabbage and spinach were very salty. The spaghetti carbonara and crab linguini were average. Pasta was al dente which was good, but the sauces needed more life. One of the servers forgot to order our first course (soup). I was a bit concerned with the table next to us which had 3 lap dogs sitting at the table. I am a firm believer that pets (not service animals) should stay at home. Animals can have accidents and that does not help elevate the sanitary conditions of a restaurant. There was also a small brown mouse making several attempts into the restaurant while we were eating. It made for interesting entertainment.

Terrible experience. Halfway through the meal, the waiters started to get agitated and nervous and hurrying us through the rest of it. My plate was still half full and the inattentive waiter asked if I was finished, whilst reaching for my plate. Outrageous! If he'd had observed me even for a minute he'd have known I was very much in the middle of my meal. We were told three times we were 'behind schedule'. Excuse me!?!?! Never have I heard anything like that in a restaurant in my life. We were moving at a completely ordinary pace for a meal with friends, ordering bottles of wine and drinks and starters - and paying a decent sum for it, too! Utterly dispicable. I was told later that we had a 2 hour slot. Ironically, the reservation was from 18:45 and we left the restaurant at 20:45. So all that fuss and trouble they caused was wholly unnecessary. Yay, we now live in a time where even a Friday evening restaurant meal with friends is monitored and timed. With your greed, Mr Cecconi, you make the world a worse place. Shame on you. You make capitalism look bad.
