  “After a brilliant open day at the University of Hull (which genuinely exceeded all our expectations… Hull should be really proud of what they’ve created!), we headed to Santos on Princess Avenue for a late lunch on a gorgeous sunny Saturday. What a great find. We sat out in the rear courtyard, which was perfect in the sunshine, and the staff were friendly, welcoming and attentive throughout. The pizzas were superb. Proper authentic Italian with beautifully cooked bases and quality toppings. We also shared the Scarpetta with the selection of dips, and they were outstanding. Santos… you could easily sell those dips on their own! There was more than enough food for the four of us, prices were very reasonable, and the whole experience was relaxed from start to finish. We’ll definitely be back”

  “The food is absolutely brilliant and the staff are friendly and welcoming. However, the service could be more attentive. We were left with empty drinks for quite a while before anyone came over to ask if we wanted another round, and at times the staff seemed more focused on chatting amongst themselves. I was also a little surprised that a 20% tip had already been entered on the card machine before it was handed to me, as I would have preferred to choose the amount myself. That said, these issues didn't take away from the overall experience. The food was amazing, and I would definitely return. With a bit more attention from the waiting staff, this place would be excellent.”

  “During my last visit we were a party of three, including someone with a severe egg allergy. The staff were excellent, very careful, attentive, and always checking with the chefs to ensure everything was suitable. Ella was our main server and was absolutely lovely, polite, courteous, and very attentive throughout. Alberto made the experience really enjoyable too; he is always funny, engaging, and adds great energy to the evening. Another staff member was also very kind and even took photos for us, which was a thoughtful touch. I’ve visited several times over the past year with different friends, and the food is consistently delicious with brilliant service from all staff. One of my absolute favourite Italian restaurants and consistently incredible every visit!”

  “The place is very nice — cozy atmosphere, kind welcoming staff, great food. I took a seafood pasta and it was a huge portion, and super good. One of the best pastas I had in my life!”

  “Amazing food, it was so good. We had the Sunday set menu. The portion sizes are on the large side. But everything was cooked to perfection. If I am in Hull again, I will be going back here for sure”

  “I cannot recommend this place highly enough. They have two restaurants, the one on Princes Avenue that we visited, and one in Anlaby. We came today for my wife's birthday on the recommendation of my son...and so glad we did. A lovely warm, and friendly, greeting on arrival and we soon had someone at our table ready to take our drinks and food order. We shared the garlic mushroom starter, and then both went for the Sunday roast, a rare thing for myself as it is rarely a first choice for me, one chicken and one beef. The food here is outstanding, as is the atmosphere of the place, and the very attentive staff. The beef is cooked medium rare and is absolutely delicious. All the plates of food coming out of the kitchen are plentiful and look delicious. I just wish I could have eaten every last bite, but I might have had to have a kip in the corner if I had tried to eat anymore, so we had to have our canolli dessert boxed up to bring home. If you haven't visited here yet, you really should. It's said that you get what you pay for, and in the case of Santi's, it is worth every penny.”

  “I've just discovered this place and have been there three times in one week. 😊 That means a lot to me, a rather spoiled person when it comes to food. The service is always very attentive, regardless of which waiter is on duty. Even small "Italian special requests" were fulfilled today. The Aperol Spritz stands out from all the ones I've had in Hull so far. The quality of the meat is also just what I like. And "the mom" of the restaurant can teach you a lot about Sicily. 😊 I felt very comfortable and welcome and will gladly come back.”
