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 celebrated Valentines Day here with seating at the bar, which is very comfortable for two. The atmosphere is romantic and cozy with Frank Sinatra piped through the sound system and old Dean Martin and Frank Sinatra movies on the screens. Very easy to have a conversation with your date without overhearing others speaking. We had the pizza, which is well worth the trip. The crust was perfectly chewy and toppings are obviously very high quality. Delicious! I look forward to returning again and again.

Food is phenomenal! The restaurant always has a great atmosphere. The service is top notch. Just wish the menu could change from time-to-time, and/or have specials. Have more options in the food menu. Other than that, it is one of my favorite places to eat and drink.

You don’t get service like this anymore. My wife and I sat at the bar. We were greeted by one of the owners. I should have gotten his name as he provided and experience that we haven’t received in quite a long time. He walked us through some of his favorite dishes. Explained how things worked. The team provided great service. Not rushed. Food coursed out perfectly. Food, drinks, wine were exceptional. He asked us if it was our first time. Which it was. At the end they gave us a piece of tiramisu on the house. I will say it again. You just don’t get service like that at too many places anymore. Well done. We will be back with our family and friends.

Loved this place! Old school Italian restaurant with enough modern updates to make it more functional. Reservations only so is wasn’t overcrowded. Reminded me a bit of the old Albanese’s on Keefe. Food was delicious and the service was great.
