As a picky person (I really don’t eat anywhere or anything) I fell in love with this place. This place is beautiful, the people are amazing and the most important thing in a restaurant: the food is trully delicious! I’ll come back during my short stay in the US.

Great experience at Santinos! Our server was awesome, the pizza was authentic, fresh and delicious, and my surprise birthday cake after dinner was to die for! The only cons: lack of parking. Street only. Prepare to walk if it’s a busy day- I don’t mind.
If you’re someone who can’t tolerate even a little bit of spice, you won’t like the Italian sausage they use on their pizza. Personally I loved it.

I have been wanting to come here for months. Went on Valentines Day. The food was fine. The server was friendly but very inconsistent. We had an appetizer. I ordered a salad, which to my surprise came with my meal, versus before.. so, ok...I went with it. I ordered a glass of wine to have with my entree. It never came. We were trying to wave our server down with no luck. He finally came around and I advised him, I no longer needed my wine. He apologized and later we received 2 glasses of limoncello. No idea if this was for the forgetfulness? Overall, the food was good, but due to my experience, not a place I need to go back...there are many other Italian restaurants.

Excellent pizza and arancini. The cocktails were also awesome. The old Italian movies playing on the TV was a nice touch.

My fiancé and I had such a wonderful Valentine’s dinner! Our table was ready 20 minutes before our reservation, and we were greeted with such a warm welcome as soon as we walked in. The service was incredibly quick and attentive, and the food was absolutely incredible.
We ordered the calamari fritti, melanzana fritti, and the paisano pizza — and we couldn’t get enough! Everything was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly prepared.
We can’t wait to come back and enjoy the patio this summer!

Such a great spot. Great ambiance. I had cranberry cocktail which was fantastic! Tiramisu and pizza were unbeatable. Would definitely go back. We got there pretty early on a tuesday and it was already getting busy and sat at the bar, I can only imagine the weekends.

This was one of the worst café experiences I’ve had. The service was poor, the place felt unwelcoming, and overall the experience was just horrible. Nothing stood out in a positive way, and I left disappointed and frustrated. I won’t be returning.

Fun atmosphere with friends. Would also make a great date night.
One of our favorite places! Staff in incredible, owner is welcoming and approachable. Apps are tasty (Calamari and Eggplant). The pizzas are AMAZING. Highly recommend. We love sitting at the bar.

Pizza, lasagna, and salads were delicious. Service with Tommy was exceptional. Love the atmosphere. Very old school Italian

I really cannot say enough nice things about this restaurant. From the top-notch service, to outstanding food, what isn't there to love? Fresh ingredients, awesome selections, and friendly + knowledgeable staff. All of the workings of a great business. You can tell they truly care about everything they do.
While they're known for their incredible pizza (which arguably IS some of the best in the city), do NOT miss out on the their Rigatoni Alla Vodka OR Pasta Carbonara.
If I could leave more than 5 stars, I would. Can't wait to come back! This is a hidden gem, and one of Milwaukee's finest :)

Our 10 ounce meatball was closer to 6 ounces. The marinara sauce, although tasty, was ice cold. The meatball itself was hot. The Mediterranean salad was supposed to have avocado; it had none. Supposed to have a choice of dressing. That didn't happen. But worst of all, our pizza was not properly cooked.Soggy in the middle, with a wet glop of unnecessary cheese in the middle. Additionally, your pizza chef doesn't have a clue how to dome a pizza by lifting the pizza with the peal to the inside top of the oven to brown the cheese and allow for final cooking. It looked like he was overfilling the oven with too many pies to allow for proper cooking to occur. Very disappointing. And Chianti should be served in the appropriate glass. Our server was very accommodating, but needs to describe your pizza special in a more descriptive manner. Had he done so, we would have ordered something else. I will say your tiramisu was absolutely delicious and the highlight of our evening.
