About this restaurant

  • Neighborhood gem
  • Good for special occasions
  • Charming
Santino's Little Italy, tucked away in a quiet neighborhood with rich history echoing years gone by in the City of Milwaukee. The building housing the restaurant is over 130 years old and has been beautifully remodeled by talented designers and carpenters. The vibe has an old school Brooklyn New York feeling and is the perfect place to make wonderful memories with friends and family.

The menu features delicious gourmet pizzas / house-made pastas / salads / appetizers / deserts along with delicious Italian wine / cocktails and are professionally served to you by our attentive staff. Our amazing Neapolitan Style Pizza is hand made with the finest and freshest ingredients and cooked in a 6,000-pound Italian woodfired oven. With humility and gratitude our pizza was ranked nationally as the 46th best pizza in North America and we are very proud to serve many happy diners here in Milwaukee.

Reservations are highly recommended as space is limited. We look forward to serving you.

    Always treated extremely well at Santino's. The wait staff was exceptional, attentive, but not overbearing. The drinks and food were prepared with attention to detail with the best ingredients. We had an amazing time. The owners make a point to welcome you, they are truly interested in your experience, and they always invite you back. Quality, consistency, classy, friendly, delicious; you can always count on a great experience at Santino's !

    It was quite a few years ago my husband and I happened upon this restaurant while bicycling through the area. We have enjoyed many wonderful meals since then. The food is always excellent. The service is always outstanding. And the ambience always transport you to a different era of love and romance punctuated by Sophia Loren.  We can always count on all of the above and we are received always like family.

    We always love the pizzas. I had the penne alla vodka special last night and it was absolutely delicious. Don’t forget about the arancini appetizer!

    Pizza is the main attraction here. Endless variations and possibilities. The pasta menu is limited. The atmosphere informal. Service was excellent. The noise level was very high when we were there, but I think we could have asked to be seated in a quieter area if we had been familiar with the restaurant before we went.
