“We had an amazing experience on our wedding day last weekend at Duffinetti’s. The owner was extremely accommodating and dedicated to making our day extra special. She allowed us to drop our wedding cake off prior to opening for storing, served an amazing meal for our large party, served our wedding cake and even arranged the performer to play our wedding song for our first dance. We couldn’t thank her and the staff enough for making our day amazing.“

“This restaurant is amazin! We ate breakfast there once and dinner twice on our vacation. Very good food and wait staff. Nice Friendly people to be around“

“I chose this restaurant for my husband’s birthday dinner. We had an amazing meal in a pretty setting. Aside from being extremely impressed with all of the flavors, from appetizer to dessert, our server, Ari (not sure I’m spelling it correctly) was just the sweetest, knowledgeable and kind young woman. She was very attentive but not annoyingly. There were other servers walking around making sure tables were cleared of finished apps, salads and such. They work as a team and made the experience so enjoyable. Everything flowed so smoothly. We enjoyed delicious cocktails and the food was so on point. We’re giving Santorini ALL the stars! We will most definitely be back, again and again!“
