A wide range of flavours available - we particularly enjoyed the Easter and Green Apple flavours, but if you’re having trouble making a decision, they will give you a little taster!

We had Ice Cream here on the day our Inside Lisbon Tours took us here, & recommended we go here. So grateful that we did. Ice cream was fresh & creamy, and served promptly as we placed our order. 2 ice creams and a coffee...for €6.90? Great value!More

Rich, creamy, sweet - the best thing to enjoy while passing thru Cascais. If you just have time to do just one thing - have a ice cream from this shop.

Visited Cascais as part of a tour group stopping for lunch and had Santini's recommended by the tour leader. Great recommendation! This gelato rivals the great gelato I have had in Italy and provided great enjoyment. I highly recommend Santini's! The chocolate and strawberry flavors...were the ones I had and they were incredible.More

Portuguese loves Santini ice cream especially the strawberry flavour. We tasted it together with other flavours (coconut, lemon, mango etc) and find them "so-so" or average. Nothing to shout about. Moreover, the price is too expensive. The shop itself is nice with cute retro decor....A nice place to rest if the weather is too hot outside. The staff are friendly and worked fast. If you are ever near Santini, just try one...More

People in Portugal rave about Santini with a strange nostalgia as if it is the only place in the country that sells ice cream. Lets be absolutely clear. The ice cream here sucks, and buying packaged ice cream from the beach will taste better probably...be cheaper than this overpriced, overhyped and totally underwhelming excuse for an ice cream. There are some seriously good independent ice cream shops popping up in Cascais and Lisbon with owners who strive to use fresh ingredients to create an amazing product. Go there instead of this awful place.More

When you enter to Santini you feel like a short trip back in time. All staff has their own uniforms and they are very welcoming. And the ice cream itself, this taste is unforgettable. It is a must when you are in Lisbon.

Not a restaurant but a very popular ice cream shop- we were told we couldn't miss it as it was the best ice cream in Portugal. Agree, but queues were a problem on the holiday weekend.
