Santini - London

We arrived late to the restaurant after a long day of work in the local area, and it was very busy. Despite the crowded atmosphere, the staff managed to find us a peaceful table and seated us promptly. The pasta we ordered was delicious, although on the expensive side (this restaurant caters to a wealthy clientele). We probably should have noticed the chauffeurs waiting outside in their Range Rovers... I had the carbonara, which may have been the best I've ever had, and my colleague had the ravioli. Overall, I would say that it's worth the money if you don't make the same mistake we did by arriving late and exhausted; instead, take your time and enjoy the experience.

Upon entering this restaurant, we were initially impressed by the ambiance and level of service. However, we were left waiting for someone to greet us, and although the waiters were efficient and the menu was beautiful, the prices were on the higher side. Despite enjoying our meal and being well taken care of, there was a significant delay in receiving our main dishes, which was disappointing. Additionally, the service became surly towards the end of our meal, leaving us feeling abandoned. Given the high cost of £350 per person, we expected better overall service.

Lazy service from walking in to throughout the meal. It lets the food down which is good. There was no welcome or assistance and staff weren’t in the mood to help. Disappointing. It’s expensive too.

During the summer, this restaurant in London is one of the best dining spots, but even in the fall, the food is still exceptional. I highly recommend it.

Santini is a cut above all restaurants. The food is excellent, and the service is perfect. We went for appetizers, full dinner, and birthday dessert-which they did not charge! Everything was delicious. The wait-staff was attentive and kind. I can't wait to go back.
