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 love Santinos. We have been going for a few years now. From dining in the main room or sitting at the bar, it’s fantastic. The bartender is always great! Just ate there last night again. 12-19-24.

    Having been there dozens of times it was about as expected. Seems as if something has changed though I haven't figured out what yet. Food was good, service was great without intruding, all was well. But, something seemed different.

    We sat at the back bar with our friends on the corner and it was very nice to be able to converse. Not real noisy, Tino the bartender was wonderful! He was kind enough to give us a lemoncello for my husbands birthday. It was our first time there, and we will be back!! Great Pizza! Thank you!

    Food and service was excellent. Can’t beat the meatball! Had pizza, flavor good but crust was too limp and chewy, texture of cardboard, prefer thin crispy crust. Excellent old fashion.

    Every time we go there we feel like family. Greg and Santino make sure to stop by and chat with us and see how we have been. Love going there to eat some great food and enjoy the time with the staff and owners.
