Santini's Restaurant in Croydon

Renzo's swan song themed dining event on Friday 26th Nov was a huge success. It was also a sad occasion for those so familiar with his amazing culinary expertise, for he has finally retired and the restaurant will be under new management from December.All his regular customers wish him and wife Gillian a long, happy and healthy retirement.

Fantastic food, great hosts, lovely atmosphere...for a good price. This restaurant is now officially my favourite Italian restaurant. I absolutely recommend it!!

Wonderful experience!Family run restaurant, Mr and Mrs Santini were so welcoming and kind, they chatted and joked with my 7 year old and made us all feel very at home. The food was delicious and authentic, we were recommended the wine by Mr Santini and very well looked after. Will definitely be returning!

A wonderful evening food is excellent and the welcome is lovely. However we would have liked a sauce with the Calamari and whitebait.

And it's just like the ocean under the moonIt's the same as the emotion that I get from youYou got the kind of loving that can be so smoothGimme your heart, make it real, or else forget about itOh no. That Santana, isn’t it?

Very nice food at reasonable prices, and very friendly reception.We were there with my children, and the owner was joshing and joking with them, keeping them entertained and telling my son he would have to wash the dishes after our meal. My children loved it.

The food is fine, having flavors with basic presentations. Service was attentive, friendly, and helpful; gave great recommendations to try, and served the exact dishes we ordered. The ambiance was relaxing.

Good Italian food. Huge servings, very tasty. Service was fun and pleasant. A great place to dine for a real taste of Italian cuisine.

This restaurant had been recommended by our neighbours and then when we went first time we were astonished by the quality of the real Italian food and the company of the owner, his wife and their nephew. This is the best Italian in the area - trust me! Won't be disappointed...

Amazing food and service. The food is just absolutely perfect, I like the fact that this is not a chain and probably therefore the quality is superb. The guy also makes his own homemade ice cream - and it's amazing!
