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.

We're regulars at Santino's, we visit at least once a month. My wife had surgery a little over a week ago and I could only book a high table. The hostess immediately was concerned that a high table may be uncomfortable and was able to seat us at a normal dining room table. This is the type of service one gets at Santino's, one of the best in the city. The food and cocktails were outstanding as usual. Highly recommended.

It was our first time and everything was amazing except we couldn’t get the lasagna and Ceasar salad. So i definitely go earlier or call ahead to make sure we are able to get those items! Service, food and atmosphere was great! We definitely will be back!

This is consistently the best meatball, pizza, and tiramisu in Milwaukee and our go to for a night out because what’s not to love? Bruschetta, arancini, bocce ball appetizers are always amazing and any leftover sauces and bits are perfect for dipping pizza crusts. We ordered the Margherita and Diavolo Dolce this time, both were great and enjoyed the hot honey on the Diavolo Dolce. Even though we couldn’t possibly eat any more the tiramisu we ordered to split was devoured within seconds. As always, the cozy inviting atmosphere and attentive fun staff make for an incredible dining experience.
