I tried mango and coffee.
I really found them very good in taste and texture, the service very good and the price seemed reasonable for the serving size.
I didn't get in line but I was told that on regular days it usually gets a little crowded.

Indeed a nice treat on a sunny day, even if it's not the cheapest ice I have seen.
But it's tasty and you can see people waiting for it outside along the sidewalk.
The organisation inside is flawless :-) you pay in advance and then you can choose and pick your flavours quietly. This makes really sense !

We had been on a tour [it was a hot day] and our guide recommended our stopping here for a quick treat. The place was packed and there was a long line which moved quickly. . You enter, pay, and then take your slip to the person at the counter to prepare your ice cream-cone vs. cup. We were able to get two flavors-I got the mocha and blueberry. It is a nice atmosphere and there is seating if you want to eat in the place itself. If you are in Cascais, it is well worth the stop.

My children ( like a lot of children …… LOVE I’ve cream )
We came here as there is always a queue and supposed to be the best around.
Price expect d for the hype.
My daughter wanted 2 scoops of Mango Sorbet, however she tried 2 flavours after small persuasion.
My daughter loves Mango but asked me to eat the Mango as she disliked it that much!. I tried both kids flavours and I would say I personally ( and kids ) have had much better ice cream before!. Each to their own.
I think they should offer a small taster of up to 2 flavours as this is a quick process and may help avoid the wrong choice, even if it’s busy. I wouldn’t say the serving staff were friendly in such a hyped up place but there you go.
Better I’ve cream elsewhere, but worth a try and see what you think!

I have more than 70 years of experience with these ice creams that were the joy of my childhood in Tamariz do Estoril, but I hadn't tried them since they changed management.
My favorite has always been raspberry and cream. I remembered the flavor of the cream, creamy as it slid across the palate, and the intensely creamy and perfumed raspberry…
What I got today at Santini was an ice cream with a slightly grainy, non-creamy consistency, with little flavor of the indicated fruit (which had a faded color) and, worst of all, made with sap and not sugar. The sap leaves an unpleasant aftertaste in the mouth that I personally abhor and that overshadows the true flavor of the fruit.
Never to be repeated again!

We’d heard about this Ice cream cafe and how good it was so we were fortunate to find it empty at about 4pm.
Honestly, the ice cream was ok, I would say it was out of this world but they had all the regular flavours you’d expect. It was delicious and nicer than a regular tourist shop.
Tip: go for a small pot because it includes two scoops.

Loved this place. The ice-cream is very good and they took extra care preparing ice cream for someone who has celiac disease. Excellent service. Decor is very laid back and creates a relaxing atmosphere.

A friend recommended that I go to Santini's when I was visiting Cascais and I'm glad I did. It was some of the best ice cream I've had. You have to try the fruit flavours, as they only use real fruit that is in season. I had the raspberry and coconut and they were both delicious. I would highly recommend going here. There is also a location in Lisbon.

Randomly came across this ice cream spot in Cascais, has a nice little sitting area outdoors as well. I bought two flavours but I particularly enjoyed the pineapple with mint, I love it when ice cream shops get a little creative. I highly recommend it!

A good selection of ice cream flavours, with some great service (they have a suggested flavour combo of the day/week but will help you make a choice if your not sure). There are actually two Santinis in Cascais but both tend to have a queue in the later afternoon/evening. Weve been in the earlier afternoon and had no problem just walking in.

Great ice cream shop. One of the famous ones in town. Right on the main strip. Small seating area. €3.50/small cup but the serving is large! Didn’t see any kiddie sizes which would reduce wastage as kids can’t finish the small size of ice cream typically. Generous serving. Delicious flavors

Great strong flavors. There is always A-line outside the place. It's a tiny little shop where You can read the flavors in 5 different languages. Go in pay and be prepared for the most authentic flavors ever. We tries orange 🍊 ,passion fruit vanilla and honeydew. Each tasted like a bite of perfectly ripe fruit.

The ice cream was awesome! Tried the passion fruit and chocolate - very refreshing and tasty. And also tried the mocha - very good. Something about eating ice cream in the cold; makes it extra tasty!

Our tour guide recommended Santini as the best ice cream/gelato in Cascais, and he was not wrong. This place is so good that many in our group went back every night of our stay. Every flavor I tasted was delicious but two worth noting are the strawberry and the coconut.

I’ve been to many Gelato businesses, but this one wins, hands down. The gelato is very creamy and light. And not too sweet. No wonder it has been around so long, they have perfected the recipe👍 I’ve been back twice now, in 5 days😀
