“My biggest regret about our visit here is that it wasn't sooner. We've truly been missing out on some delightful food. I have yet to pass this place during business hours and not see them packed. Last night we had reservations at Versante for two for our anniversary. Jamie and Anna were our servers, and they were so friendly. They listened to our questions and made (excellent) suggestions. Initially, it took a little longer than expected for them to greet us, but it was a fairly busy Saturday night and that's to be expected. Not a dig, but be prepared to wait if needed... I promise you, it's worth it. We started with the tuna tartare, burrata salad and arugula salad. The tuna tasted fresh and the mango it was paired with was so refreshing. The burrata, prosciutto and red peppers was another great pairing- simple, clean, fresh and balanced with some arugula and olives. The arugula salad with orange vinaigrette made for a lovely palate cleanser between rich courses. My better half had the seafood pasta special and it looked incredible- homemade pasta with Chilean sea bass, scallops, shrimp in a lobster sauce... he looked like he was in heaven while he was enjoying that dish. I had the pappardelle bolognese, thinking it's a very simple dish... and while yes, it was simple, it was still outstanding and flavorful. You can tell a lot of thought (and love) went into these meals. Then there was dessert.... homemade cheesecake with a raspberry sauce, and homemade chocolate mousse cake. Both of them would be worth a trip back for on a whim.“

“Highly recommend! 11 out of 5 stars!!!! Best pizza anywhere. Great atmosphere and very friendly staff. Go there now!“

“We absolutely love santinas! We’ve been coming here every weekend for the past year and we are always greeted with open arms. Al is ridiculously kind and caring and you can see how invested he is in his community and pizza shop. Not to mention, the food never disappoints! If I could give it 100 stars, I would. Thank you, Santinas for the service, delicious food and memories!“

“My wife and I truly enjoy having dinner and drinks at this location. We prefer to sit at the bar. The bartenders are always knowledgeable and friendly. They are attentive and never let you hanging. They keep you informed and never let you feel unwelcomed.
Great place to enjoy a meal and conversation.“

“Our party of 6 dined last night. Michelle was our server. She was great- very attentive, drinks were always filled. Some stand-outs: Caesar salad was great, dressing is made in-house. Blackened chicken and shrimp were seasoned well. The creamy polenta is excellent. Salmon dish was prepared perfectly. The carrot cake dessert is excellent and the creme brulee is also very good. There’s plenty of space between the bar area, the lounge and the dining room. A gentleman (manager?) visited our table and made sure our order was just right. Great experience! Will recommend and will return!“

“had the 24" italian hoagie yesterday. It was fantastic. Best in the valley. Enough for two meals.“

“Where do I begin… This place is beyond words, every bite it decadent, delightful, exquisite and masterful. Francis is a true master in the kitchen, each time we visit the menu is different, and I’ve yet to have anything short of incredible. The entire staff is friendly and passionate about the food and atmosphere of the cafe. Our favorite waitress Reelika always explains the menu so well and makes it such a fun experience. I highly highly recommend this place, if you enjoy good food then you will definitely enjoy this gem. Thank you Francis and staff for another fantastic meal and we can’t wait to return“

“This is the absolute best Italian restaurant I’ve ever eaten at! The food is delicious and succulent, the service is impeccable, the waitresses are very friendly and quick with taking your order! The bread, pasta, cakes, everything is homemade onsite and you can really taste it! They make new dishes constantly so it’s always a surprise! The take-out pizza is fantastic, you have to try their Sicilian and grandma style pizza too! My favorite dish is the crab ravioli, which has a very tasty sauce and loaded with delicious crab! The owners are awesome people who treat their employees like family, everyone always has a smile on their face! This is my favorite restaurant in Douglassville, I award it five stars!!“

“This restaurant is our new favorite place! We discovered it in May 2022 and have been there many times since! The food is fresh, amazing and beautifully plated! Jen is an awesome chef and her staff is friendly, informative and top notch. We have taken friends and family members there and everyone has raved about the food, service and ambiance! We just love this place!“

“My husband and I both think they have the best chicken parm. I am obsessed with their penne pasta with vodka sauce!!! Sometimes I get the vodka sauce on my chicken parm as well. The lemon cake is a must have dessert! George and his team have Been working all through the pandemic making sure the community could count on them! So many restaurants ended up closing down and we are so glad that Piazza Presto was able to make it through. The food is always Fresh and delicious. Great place for a date night or with the family. It is BYOB which is nice since you can pack your own favorites and saves a lot too!“

“Giovanni's is one of the only places around that is consistently good. The pizza is always amazing. Whenever we are trying to decide where to go as a family of 7, Giovannis always wins out. It's the only place we can name that everyone is happy with. In the summer, some of out best days are ordering a few pizzas or hoagies to take to Nine Oaks Pool.“

“This was our first time eating at Giovanni's and I am so glad we did! The Diablo chicken cheese steak was so good! The waitress was a sweetheart...very personable and upbeat. This might have been our first visit, but it sure won't be our last!“

“First time diners and we'll be back. First time also in quaint hidden-away St. Peters Village. Early Tuesday dinner in their indoor dining room led to some very nice private and attentive service by excellent server Debby. We enjoyed expertly crafted cocktails, steamed mussels, fresh garden salads and entrees of Salmon+Crab Oscar and Steak Gorgonzola Pasta. Varied and excellent menu choices, could have chosen many other appealing offerings and hope to on future visits!“

“We came in on New Years Eve at 645pm. We did not realize they were closing at 7 but you would never know it. Absolutely courteous, helpful, and professional. This is the second time we have had the pleasure of their pizza and it fails to disappoint which is amazing. I don't know what they are doing to make it taste like that but OH MY GOD! Also, they made us a well done half cheese/half pepperoni pizza in 15 minutes. I mean damn son. Don't forget they were closing. Absolutely terrific. Then the ladies next door at Philly Pretzel gave us an entire gigantic party tray of pretzels for free. Just capped off the experience.“
