Reviews for Santioni's Italian Restaurant in Fleming Island, FL
Where to start? I have eaten at a lot of places all over. This was by far one of the best meals I have ever had. Gourmet... Italian meal, amazing ambiance, pianist was amazing and set the tone for a really relaxing romantic date night. This is ahidden gem of clay, the best Italian food in the area for sure. Todays special was a cheese stuffed pork chop with an amazingglaze, cooked to perfection. Perfectly tender, all the meat juices were there, presentation was very appealing. The garlic breadis too die for. Warm soft fluffy with the most savory flavors even after the main part has come and gone. Service staff waskind and helpful. 10/10 will eat here again. Read more
The most incredible experience. The service was excellent and every dish met our hopes and expectations. From our favorite... appetizers, to our favorite desserts, some of which we hadn't found since Italy, every bite was heavenly. The only sad part wasthat I forgot to capture images of the delectable plates. The patience of the staff with our young grandchildren helped make theexperience perfect. We will return. It should not be too hard to come up with an excuse. Soon. Read more

I decided to visit Santioni's for my wife's birthday as it was highly recommended as a great Italian restaurant. The prices here... are a tad bit too expensive all things considered. The service is top-notch however and this restaurant has some of the mostprofessional staff I have ever witnessed here on the west side. The ambiance is also very nice with slightly dim lightingthroughout the restaurant and they had a live pianist who would play Italian as well as really quite beautiful music that Ibelieve she composed herself. You are definitely paying for the experience here as the prices are elevated even though many ofthe dishes are quite good. Of note, I really loved the spinach and garlic calzone although I was shocked when I saw that it cost$30 for just the medium size. This was a bit of a special request as it's not on their menu so this may have contributed to theelevated cost. I was told by my wife that the calamari was quite good however she wasn't too fond of the eggplant Parmesan. Withregard to their pizza, we were a bit split 50/50 I wasn't as fond of the sauce as I thought it tastes more like spaghetti saucethan pizza sauce (being a bit too sweet and not as tangy for my taste) however my daughter really liked it. I really feel likeit could have used a bit more oregano but, on a positive note, it's all handmade. The bread that they bring to the table is alsosome of the most delicious garlic bread I have ever had. It was soft and tender to the bite and had just the right mixture ofsalt and garlic. Overall, we really enjoyed our visit to Santioni's however we will probably reserve our visits to specialoccasions only. I would also like to mention that they are probably the best Italian restaurant you will find in the localvicinity. Read more
my mother and I took my daughter out for a nice dinner on a Friday night. it was a completely different experience from what she... was used to obviously, she is only 8, but it was a positive one. she got to eat kid friendly dishes, she loved the bread, andenjoyed the live guitar playing. my mother and I had the " mama knows best margarita", and it was very tasty. highlyrecommended, quiet setting for conversation, and the food was really yummy. I got the calamari, which is my test to see if theyjust throw stuff in the fryer and forget it. nope! it was perfectly tender. the Italian wedding soup was a hit for me and mydaughter, and the seafood pasta. we got some cake to go and I can't wait to try it. I can't wait to come back and try morethings. thanks for the awesome experience! Read more
I will come here again! We went on a Friday night. When we first walked in, you hear the live performer singing. He was good... and his performance was on par with ambience of the restaurant. Their was plenty of space between patrons, therefore, I felt socomfortable removing my mask. The staff was superb. Our waiter was attentive and the young man that brought our food alsorefilled my water. Kudos to the Manager on duty ???? for instilling the type of service you want shown to your customers. I wasreally impressed and pleased. Let's talk the food. I judge Italian restaurants by three things: Lasagna, Pasta Dishes, andtheir Meatballs. I know...so American of me. I had this fried risotto appetizer and it was interesting. The bread was tasty andthe Lasagna was delicioso. It melted in my mouth and the sauce had my mouth singing. As with any restaurant I give 5 stars, Iwill try it again for consistency...so please stay tuned. Read more
Fantastic service and the food was absolutely delicious. We went on a Sunday night and were pleasantly surprised they had live... music by Howard who was just awesome... it was just a great night all around. Read more
Had a great dinner with good service and great food. Bruschetta- crispy and soft cheesy bread with mozzarella sauce... 9/10 Calamari- crispy and not chewy at all. No tails but good marinara. 8/10 Snapper almond D sauce was good and the fish waswell cooked but a little fishy. Spaghetti is a little bland. 6/10 Chicken Limone - well cooked slightly crispy shell and juicychicken. The Alfredo was good with what tasted like handmade noodles. Veal Marsala- Marsala sauce was great tons of mushrooms.Not a lot of veal that was very thin. 7/10 Chicken paseno- table agreed the chicken was the best entree on the table. Very juicyand sauce was very creamy and tasty. Spinach was good as well but might want to order with a side of pasta. Read more
