Santo Mare

Excellent quality of food and service

Delightful experience in this Italian fish restaurant. Staff is friendly and kind, food is exquisite, the ambience is warm and soberly stylish

They charge at Michelin star level when they are far from it , really poor service , they served our main course after few minutes they cleaned starters from the table so means our pasta dishes were already made before we finish, pasta was cold , Lobster tagliatelle completely stick together, no sauce at all , terrible wine service (15% service charge) , 90£ white wine served like Water , this type of wines must be served 2 fingers at the time , wine must be kept cold while I'm dining , not pouring over half glass and wine get warm. This people miss of experience , I did't wont to ruin my partner dinner but I should have done a complain , very disappointed , I never do this but I will leave a review even on TripAdvisor

Good but wildly overpriced for what it is. Pasta with 4 bit of fish charged at 30pounds

Very good set up, vibrant place with great menu, super seafood and extensive wine list. Service is efficient and energetic.

Some of the best sea food in London. Great atmosphere. Knowledgeable and friendly staff. Felt authentically Italian.

Expensive place, pasta is really average and dry. Only ambience is beautiful

Very good food , good service
Nice Italian restaurant

Fabulous atmosphere, the food was delicious. The wine was a bit... pricey.

They were very friendly and helpful! We had a two year old with us and they were very understanding. Food was fresh and delicious

was at the table in front of the entrance door and 1) too many waiters passing by 2) could feel cold every time the door would open
not the best experience to be fair
food is magnificent

Food was outstanding. One of the best meals we’ve had in a while. The only thing that we particularly didn’t like was the table we were sitting at. It was placed right in between the entrance and the till, waiters kept passing by us really closely. The entrance door kept opening every 2 minutes, so it was pretty cold, people in the outwear kept hugging and kissing right behind my back, it was quite disturbing. I have no idea why someone decided that one more table could fit in their, but nonetheless, it did. It was really annoying, if not for that, our evening would be much more pleasant. I strongly recommend the managers to remove this table, seems to be just a way to make some extra money. The restaurant of that standard (with spectacular food, service and atmosphere) should never do things like that.
Apart from that, the best dinner I’ve had in a long time. Every single meal was literally outstanding.

The food was good the service cold to Luke warm and the fish of the day a rip off in terms of price! Better order from the menu rather than endure their market price !
The service

Beautiful seafood, loveliest service, great wine list

Horrible service! We got kicked out before even finishing our mains and wine! The waiters were awful and wouldn’t make the pasta dishes vegetarian

Great restaurant with fresh seafood. Would definitely go back.

Outstanding fresh seafood, very well prepared. Not cheap, but the quality supports the prices.

Totally delicious Italian seafood. Attentive waiters (but not too much). A real treat .

food was amazing, so was the service. Im pretty sure that this extremly fresh and tender octopus is the best in london.

Had a lovely evening. Food was amazing, service was incredible, vibe was perfect

Delicious fresh fish imported daily from Italy and a very good experience overall.

Excellent food and service. Great wine list too!

Quite simply one of the best restaurants we have ever been to. An absolute delight!

Rafael is always excetional with service. He always takes great care of us.

Great food & services. Music selection is also fantastic and at the right volume. Slightly on expensive side but portion is generous. Highly recommended

Overpriced!
It’s a difficult time for restaurants with Covid-19 and we are trying to be supportive. However, honest and fair reviews are important. The staff were friendly and efficient. The food was ok but certainly not exceptional. However, the prices were exceptional! They had also all been increased by around 10% from the online menu. For example £42 for a mixed fish grill comprising a single langoustine, red fish, tuna and squid, with a few salad leaves is too much. Prices were higher than in the three Michelin restaurants visited recently and the quality was no where near as good.

We had the dish of the day which was full of bones and fish tail

3 small beers, two glasses of wine, one starter and 2 main courses plus two side dishes for 270 pounds.....and then we were hurried out as the table was booked again

Lovely evening out and great ambience. Whole family enjoyed immensely. The sea bream picked out was amazingly cooked. Sea bass balls were delicious. Great service with interesting information provided by waiter on the dishes and seafood on offer. The homemade pistachio ice cream was the best I’ve ever had - a must try if you visit!Covid measures were observed with hand sanitizer on entrance and waiters with masks. All round a great evening and experience.

Fabulous, fresh seafood. Great service, a must for fish lovers

What a find! Amazing food and wine. Knowledgeable and friendly staff. It was such a special meal.

This was my fourth time at the Santo Mare. It remains spectacular. Attentive service in the right measure. Among the best seafood in London: without a doubt. Try the Langoustine Carpaccio for starters and Tagliatelle with lobster as a main dish. There is no mistake. In the photo: Gnocchi with shrimp. We took delicious Primitivo 2018 from Masseria Cuturi. Fantastic gastronomic experience.

Esta foi minha quarta vez no Santo Mare. Continua espetacular. Serviço atencioso na medida certa. Entre os melhores frutos do mar de Londres: sem dúvida. Experimente o Langoustine Carpaccio de entrada e o Tagliatelle com lagosta como prato principal. Não há como errar. Na foto: Nhoque com camarão. Tomamos delicioso Primitivo 2018 da Masseria Cuturi. Fantástica experiência gastronômica.

Great place for discreet business lunch or romantic dinner. Try sea bass carpaccio or tuna steak with Antinori

We loved the atmosphere , the elegant decor and the background Italian jazzy tunes from the 50s. The staff was very welcoming and attentive.
The red prawns carpaccio was good but served pretty warm, the artichoke salad had shaved parmesan which was very dry unfortunately but when the parmesan is dry it changes colour and shape and one can notice it easily so I am a bit perplexed on how the chef or the waiter hadn’t spotted it before serving the dish.
The fettuccine with Scampi though were simply amazing
and the sparkling wine was really perfect for the seafood.
Overall pricey for one out of three good dishes. I would go back if they improved the starters.

Fav Italian in town

Amazing I loved it definitely coming again

The staff were very helpful however not totally competent .. we were two so it didn’t have a major impact on our evening .. for a table of eight it might have been a challenge 😉

Absolutely amazing food, really good service. Such enjoyable experience! Highly recommend! Will come again

Very nice and personal, enjoyed very much, would definitely be visiting again.

Always a family favorite - has a table outside, staff all wore masks - service was friendly and food was terrific

Amazing service n food loved it

Waiter complained to another waiter to rearrange my food 3 times to make sure I was happy
