Santini's - Sunderland

Amazingly tasty food. We shared the salmon/prawns and the Calamari. Both were absolutely beautiful. . The calamari was perfect, so soft and tender. The chicken with peppercorn sauce was tender and full of flavour. Service was quick and friendly

Meal was lovely but we were served a bottle of wine at a price of £18 only to see a £5.99 corner store price ticket on the bottle. This has totally put us off going back

Ordered through uber but fulfilled bye santinos! Garlic bread warm no cheese and dry! How ever paid for this! Pizza warm Skins warm Orderd extra garlic sauce this was missing Over all shocking Will not be ordering again or recommending and have the cheek to add service charge

5 of my family came here for my Nieces hen night. Just wanted a quiet place as she and my sister had come up from the south to visit family before her wedding. I have been here many times and always had excellent food and service. This waiter/manager hung around us quite a while. Kept wanting to but in to our conversation. Telling us stories. He was very rude to his other 2 staff who were only young and lovely. The young girl missed a water from our order. He clapped his hands to her and showed her up loudly about missing the water. He still kept lingering round our table when we were trying to talk. As my niece had a bride 's veil on he turned around to her and said So your pregnant before getting married. This was not called for. Nobody should ever say that. My niece was so conscious of her body. She had lost 3 and half stone before this night for her wedding and was in a size 10 dress. This place will be so much better without this waiter/ manager. He had black hair and tall and was italian. Disgusting manner.

My 17 year old son worked in the restaurant for six hours as part of a trial. He did not receive any pay for this and worked flat out without a lunch break. They did not even have the decency to contact him afterwards. This is a disgraceful way to treat young people. I would be interested to know what health and safety thinks about this.
