Customer Reviews
I really wanted to like this place—I'm a sucker for anything Italian. The staff were fantastic: super friendly, on the ball, and our drinks never ran empty. The vibe was spot-on for date night with my wife. But the food fell flat. My custom calzone was huge, yet the sauce was watery and bland. My wife's chicken marsala? She said Olive Garden nails it better. $50 for that with no apps or dessert—it stings. Hope the kitchen steps up; this spot's got real potential.
My wife and I had dinner at Sabatino's on Feb 13, 2026. We didn't have reservations and were pointed to table near the front of the restaurant. Another couple came in right after us and they were directed to the table next to us. When our waiter came to the table he spoke to both tables when he gave the specials. We did recieve a small sample of focaccia bread...2 small strips each. We order a Bruschetta app -- I didn't get a picture, but the presentation was fine the app was 'ok'. Just middle of the road My wife ordered the Chicken Limone served on risotto. She loved it. I orderd the Calzone with sausages and pepperoni. My dish was fine, but I thought it was a little thin on the "stuffing." All in all it was a fine dinner, but there wasn't much in the way of service to speak of. Everyt
We had an incredible experience at Santino’s! Our anniversary date night was perfect from start to finish, everything was top-notch especially the service. Our waiter, Andrew, was absolutely outstanding. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and made perfect recommendations. I went with the dish he suggested, and it was phenomenal! Easily one of the best Italian meals I’ve had in a long time. My partner ordered the vodka gnocchi, which was rich, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. Andrew’s attention to detail and genuine enthusiasm really elevated the whole dining experience. If We’ll absolutely be back!
I am from the New York City/east coast area and this authentic Italian restaurant reminds me of home a lot. Amazing dining atmosphere, food was so addicting, and the servers there will treat you well like a family member! I personally do not like to compare restaurants but this is definitely worth going for than Olive Garden. If you ask the servers what you really want on your food, they will tell the chef to do it your way depending on what you order. Making a reservation is strongly recommended because this ristorante can get pretty busy and packed like a full house. Wait times for walking in can be long and seating can be very limited or difficult to find. I would highly suggest this place for a date with your significant other, family night outs, birthdays, or even a casual hangout wi
The food was good, but the portions were on the smaller side.It's spaghetti, spaghetti is cheap.There should be lots of it. We also couldn't believe there was a lot of italian dishes missing from the menu, no veal , only a few chicken dishes. We had the cannolis for dessert, and they were just okay. The tiramisu was watery.
