Santhino's in one of the best restaurants in Punta Gorda, and within a 10 miles radius for that matter. Everything is top notch, the service, the food, the wine, the music. One of the few restaurants left with a highly experienced chef. The bbq ribs are absolutely to die for, the portions are more than fair, and the prices are... More

This is quaint, up-scale restaurant located in a strip mall. It is delightfully appointed. For the number of occupied tables, it was surprisingly quiet. Brandon, our server was superb. I had Arroz con Mariscos on rice. Fantastic. Two in our party had the Wednesday night special, baby-back ribs. The meat literally fell of the bones. One in he party had... More

Went to lunch last month and really enjoyed it. We decided to go for dinner to see if it measured up! We really enjoyed the entire dinner, from appetizers to desserts. The service was very good, although the waitress seemed a tad mad we did not want any bar drinks. Other than that, service was fine. We also used restaurant.com... More

Always a good fail-safe restaurant with good food and good service. A place where you can enjoy your dinner and carry conservations without shouting.

Perfumed candles may smell nice in a bathroom or a bedroom but in the dining room of restaurant I want to smell and taste food. Fake tropical scents interfered with that in a big way. But this place gets so many other things right: friendly, efficient people, fresh tablecloths on every table (and not covered with table paper either), and... More

Thank you Haynes99 for your review. Usually a scented candle is only lit before or inbetween dinner and lunch and out when the lunch and dinner stop, however I will address this matter and hope to see you again soon in the future. Thank You! More

This restaurant is one I would go to for a special occasion. It is truly fine dining and can be pricey but the food is very good. It is also small inside so make reservations.

We are there again Saturday evening, and once again they did not disappoint us, the special I ordered was a Filet Mignons, was the best I ever had my husband had the veal that you can cut with a fork. We will be back there very soon.

based on previous glowing reviews. I came alone, and sat at the bar. I had the impression they only served beer and wine, but the bartender informed me they indeed serve liquor.
