About Santino's
Santino's is an Italian restaurant on Queens Parade in Sunderland, with pizza, pasta and lasagne on the main menu and a parmo among the options. A two-course set menu runs alongside the regular kitchen, and a Sunday roast is served with beef, yorkshire puddings and gravy. Children eat from their own menu, which includes nuggets and chips. The dining room is set up with comfy seating, and set-menu deals are a regular feature of the way the restaurant operates.

“Not the best experience at this Italian food average and bland when we got the Bill, they charged us for something we did not order sent the Bill back and told them they said they’d take it off but it came back with the item still on we was not offered any dessert to choose from the menu as they wanted to close the restaurant”

“Family meal out while staying in the area - I had eyed this place up as I wanted a Parmo! We got seated quickly and with drinks ordered a couple of meals off the set menu offer, my daughter got a kids nuggets and chips and my son decided he was grown up enough to order a lasagna from the main menu. Food was very nice, and I had the plack pudding for starters which was great!! Portion size for the parmo was also good. Both myself and my wife thought our food was really good, and I think the kids liked theirs as they didn't leave much at all. I would come here again!”

“Here's a picture of my pizza from Sunday afternoon. Sorry, it's gone - I scoffed it before thinking about taking a photo because it was delicious.. (the other is my missus'). Table staff were just as helpful and lovely as the food. Great atmosphere and comfy seating, will probably be going back for pasta this afternoon. Buonissimo 🤌🏼”

“We ate here on three evenings during our four night break. The staff were warm and friendly staff, especially Aliah. We settled for the two course menu for £12.95, which was excellent value and the food was good. We will come back when we are next in Seaburn.”
