Vinsanto in St Albans

Excellent meal and cannot recommend enough! The arancini was perfectly seasoned - superb! Also highly recommend the bolognese ragú, steak tartare and the beetroot dish which were all exceptional! We can’t wait to come again to try the rest of the menu!

Great spot near the station that does lovely food. Worth a visit.

Very good food and the speed is appreciated.

Great tasting food with excellent Gluten Free bread/pasta alternatives. We chose 5 sharing dishes which was ample and delicious but as they tend to serve cold plates first then the warm dishes, we ended up with 2 carb dishes which was not ideal. However, an absolutely outstanding dining experience". Passionfruit martinis were to die for and the Alvarinho wine was well priced and complimented our food.

Amazing food, service and atmosphere.

My first visit to Vissantro did not disappoint. The atmosphere is a perfect blend of cool, sophisticated and relaxed, complimented by attentive friendly service. We shared multiple dishes between our table of four and enjoyed them all. Personal favourites were the green pea Orzo (which shouldn’t be missed), the arancini balls and the pork belly. Yum. Plenty of wine consumed on top of course! Great value for money We will definitely be back again

Girls night out! Tapas menu and we had almost everything on the menu to share, food was delicious. Great selection of wine and cocktails. Staff were attentive, friendly and helpful when choosing food.

We came here for cocktails and food and weren’t disappointed. The food was fantastic and the staff were simply brilliant. A really cosy space with loads of atmosphere. Thanks!

10/10. Amazing birthday meal for the boyfriend. The food was perfect, as always, cocktails lovely & good quality wine. Nothing at all to complain about. Super reasonable prices, will of course be returning! I would recommend to all!

Service and food were excellent!

Food was amazing. The staff were lovely and the service were outstanding. The bar and atmosphere of the venue is beautiful. Drink options and cocktails were spot on bartender really was a great guy. Thank you for a lovely evening.

Not terrible but a little cramped and noisy. Didn't try the food but the drinks were expensive and choice of beers very limited.

Yum. Be sure to go on a Wednesday when they serve the chicken milanese. It is to die for!

Best restaurant in Harpenden. Food is excellent (small plates, high quality Italian), nice service, small cocktail bar downstairs.

Brilliant food, great wine selection by the glass! Super friendly service too. Lovely atmosphere too (but we were sat at the table in the back, by the loos which was a bit of a shame - try to avoid that if you can!)

Love this place. Great wine, food and service!

Menu was small but ideal for lunch, wine was lovely and service was really good.

Fantastic service and the food was superb. The restaurant was smaller than expected but good ambience

Just had two cocktails in here. One was £10 and one was £12. As we walked away we realised we had been charged £27. At first I thought maybe that includes service, but then I realised it was unlikely to be 22.7% service. I would have thought it was an honest mistake if the person who served us hadn’t been rude to begin with. Not one other person in the bar either so you would think they would be polite to their only clientele. I will be warning others off this place and never returning !

Vinsanto offers a great atmosphere and tasty food, with the portions being just right for sharing (2-3 dishes per person). I recommend trying the Yellow Fin tuna tartar and the Tuscan Potatoes with Truffle mayo – they were delicious. The only downside is the limited menu choices, but the service is excellent and welcoming. The restaurant is easy to find on the main high street, although parking might be a bit challenging as you may need to find parking. Overall though, Vinsanto provides a cozy dining experience with delightful dishes, making it a worthwhile visit despite the menu limitations.

Expensive but worth it! A restaurant that wouldn’t be out of place in the heart of London! Harpenden are very lucky to have Vinsanto!

Really great food! We sat on the terrace which was nice but cozy if you want to sit out on a nice day, make sure you book ahead. Lovely cocktails!

Great food! You can tell everything is very fresh, cocktails are great and atmosphere is perfect

Nice bar with outside seating. Didn't eat here so can't rate the food.

Great venue, have been going here since the opening and it never fails. The food is superb, cocktails are fantastic and the hosting service and staff are all super friendly 10/10 would recommend

If you want to be rushed in and out of a restaurant, then this is for you. We had a waitress picking something off our table every 5 minutes whilst we were still eating. It's not a pleasant experience, would not recommend it.

The whole experience was truly great. Nice atmosphere and the chefs were on point. All the food came out sharpish and service was great. The food was on another level. Will definitely be visiting again.

Mediocre experience. Expensive dishes with mediocre flavours and small portions. Two person tables not properly mounted to floor so be careful with your drinks. Truffle pasta I have made personally tasted so much richer in taste. Would not return again.

Just had the most amazing cocktails and food. Love this venue

If I could give more than 5 stars, I would. We had such a special evening celebrating my birthday; with incredible food, delicious drinks, and fantastic service. Thank you to the whole team, I can’t wait to return!

A great Italian tapas style bistro. Friendly staff, lovely decor and unobtrusive music. Lovely rest room with super products. Open evenings only.

Small tasty tapas style dishes with excellent wines. Very pleasant, but not cheap.

Fabulous good,,, ambience,,,service!! Loved it all 💕💕

This is a great addition to Harpenden. Been there a few times now and always loved it. My suggestion would be to start changing up the menu or doing some specials.

Was there yesterday. Amazing food. Top quality. Lovely staff. Will be back soon .few olive's on the menu would of topped it. Would work well with this type of food. Would highly recommend 👌

A Gem! Some of the best Italian tapas and perfect with wine. Great service, amazing food and cool vibes! Highly recommend if you like sharing tapas plates but that are high quality too.

Great small plates and cocktails

Love Vinsanto, have been a few times now and always so nice!! The staff are really friendly and attentive, and the food consistent and delicious. Love the concept of Italian tapas. The cocktails are also really really good!! Wednesday Milanese night is so good with Negronis offer also, and I love that they have other options if you fancy arancini, burrata, pasta (not just Milanese!) so great if you're going with friends who are vegetarian etc. too. Loads of nice options. I've done date nights there with my partner, girly dinner and drinks with friends, and with a group of 6 friends (mixed) and each time been a great atmosphere and a fun night!! Highly recommend :)

A magical experience. The cicchetti were lovely; the truffle potatoes are particularly memorable. Make sure to save room for the salted caramel tiramisu. Great cocktails and wine, too, of course. On a very warm evening, sitting out on the terrace was perfect, and the relaxed ambience and attentive and chatty service made for a really special evening. Thank you! Vinsanto really is a gem.

Great service and ambiance, friendly staff and amazing food.

Delicious food and cocktails and really friendly staff, great service. Super happy!

The food and drink at Vinsanto are always great and if I could give 10 stars for the service I would. Every time we’ve been it’s been impeccable from start to finish.. I would recommend very highly and we’ll be back soon.

Amazing food, cocktails and I love the concept of the restaurant. I will definitely be back with other friends and family. Such fresh and flavorful food with helpful and friendly staff

Amazing food, staff couldn't have been more attentive and helpful, the food was brilliant, love the concept, cocktails were fantastic too, will 100% be going back and talking about to anyone that will listen!

This is a very nice restaurant, essentially its Italian tapas and very nice it is too. All the staff were very friendly, they got their timings for the various dishes spot on and our glasses were never empty. We will definitely be back .

outside of london sometimes we need to change and incredibly I found this place which I loved, in terms of the attention they give you and the quality of the food, I can say that it is one of the few places that I give it 10/10, delighted to go back

Amazing. Brilliant Service, food and wine.

We visited vinsanto on nye and loved everything about this place. We could not recommend them enough. Great atmosphere, stunning food and friendly welcoming staff. We can't wait to visit again. Thanks Paul and the team xx

A rare and wonderful experience, with great wine list and lovely staff

Visited Vinsanto with a girlfriend, we had a lovely evening ! Amazing service and a fabulous menu . Will be going back for more cocktails too !

Italian lite bites with a good selection of wine, both by the glass and bottle. Would be a 5 star if catered for different dietary requirements.

We've been waiting a LONG time for an authentic Italian restaurant in Harpenden that not only serves excellent food, but the decor, atmosphere and service is OUTSTANDING. The cocktails served downstairs in the bar are better than any London bar I've had. We firstly came for dinner and on the same night booked for the bottomless brunch for the following weekend. Again, the selection of food was amazing and the drinks kept flowing - WELL worth the money.

Food is absolutely amazing, everything on the menu is delicious, but it’s the exceptional staff that keeps us coming back. Some of the loveliest waiting staff we’ve encountered. They are warm, friendly, knowledgeable and you can tell they enjoy where they work. It makes such a difference to the whole atmosphere. Great job guys, easily the best food and staff and atmosphere for miles around.

Where to start.. the atmosphere was unreal, the food and the drinks were delightful and the staff was very polite, welcoming and available for any small request we had. The place overall is truly beautiful, very cosy but classy, and the design is astonishing!! Will definitely be back more often, we had a wonderful time and enjoyed everything we ordered. Thank you for giving us a great time! x

Lovely authentic Italian food (trust me I'm from Italy), great cocktails and impressive service. Planning on going there every weekend!

Amazing food, amazing wine, amazing service. A well kept secret in Harpenden, highly recommended to all! Will be returning regularly. Thank you Vinsanto 😊

Amazing food, amazing staff and a great atmosphere! My new favourite place in Harpenden.

Everything we had at Vinsanto was so amazing, from pre-dinner cocktails to dessert. The Clover Club cocktail was incredible and I could taste the fresh raspberries the bartender used. The orzo, truffle pasta and tiramisu were all especially exceptional.

Great food and drinks. Good vegetarian options. Would highly recommend.

Impressed with my first visit to Vinsanto. Well presented and tasty food, great vibe and lovely cocktails.

Amazing food, amazing wine and ambiance. The best orzo and arancini I have ever had. The tiramisu is unbelievable. The staff is lovely and friendly. I would highly recommend!

Great atmosphere and very nicely decorated restaurant. I absolutely loved the Arancini, the Orzo and the truffle tagliatelle. Tiramisu was delicious too. Cocktails were fantastic and Romain gave us a great wine pairing tip. Staff was friendly and the food arrived quickly. Superb
