Good food and nice staff. We have been to this restaurant 2 or 3 times now. The food took a while to come, but they have a hostess of some sort that go to people's tables and start a conversation with the guests. The starters are quite big, so I'd advise sharing. There was some lipstick on my mum's glass that hadn't been washed off, and it wasn't hers. That was a bit gross, but the overall experience was good.

Everything was perfect !
From the welcome drink offered to wait (the price of success) to the quality of the products and the flavor of the dishes, including an unfailing smile from all the waiters and waitresses!
Well done to the whole team 👏🏻

Restaurant well located on a closed square in the historic center of Sommières. All tables are outside. Welcome back. The map is limited. The owner explains to us their desire to work only quality and fresh products of the day. We chose a common starter on the advice of the waitress because the dish is very hearty and varied. Delicious. We had different dishes. I took the signature dish of the restaurant which is à la carte all the time. People come to this restaurant to eat only this dish. My girlfriend took the dish of the day. Both courses were well cooked and excellent. The prices of starters and dishes are correct. Wine prices are cheap for the quality offered. I recommend this restaurant.

We came on a market day (restaurants therefore know the crowd) and despite a little provided menu (which is a good point), when you arrive at 1pm you can no longer be served a burrata tomato... the bread is brought to us with an open and empty pack of bleachers! We paid 1 euro for a whole decanter when we were only asking for a little water for our one-year-old baby
Do not ask anything of the unpleasant waitress and be careful, do not complain to the boss who defends her by all means (we have of course come across the only apprentice who must surely be preserved because she learns the trade)
Yes sir, catering is certainly a profession, you know how to tell your customers but it is a relational profession before you that does not improvise!! It is not all his fault because there is a definite lack of organization!
Not even a commercial move! Very disappointed and we will not return!

I went to this establishment for dinner. I go there from time to time, the cuisine is good in the pure Italian tradition. The waitress takes our order and we ask for a decanter of water and a glass of wine. Our dinner proceeds normally and when paying the bill, I realize that the requested carafe water has been charged to me. I am surprised by the waitress who explains that now they are charging her and that they no longer warn the customers. This practice is illegal and dishonest, restaurateurs have an obligation since January 1, 2022 to offer a carafe of free water without the customer even asking. This behaviour is unacceptable, how can we trust a restaurateur who does not respect the laws? I don't think I'll ever set foot in this establishment again.

Bonjour Thierry,
Nous vous remercions d'avoir pris le temps de partager votre expérience au Ristorante Sansavino. Votre avis est important pour nous et nous regrettons sincèrement le malentendu survenu lors de votre visite, effectivement depuis le 1er janvier 2022, et la loi anti-gaspillage, les restaurants sont dans l'obligation de proposer une carafe d'eau potable gratuite à la clientèle, en accompagnement d'une consommation.
Permettez-moi donc d'apporter quelques précisions :
Nous respectons scrupuleusement la réglementation en vigueur et proposons effectivement de l'eau gratuite à nos clients, comme indiqué sur notre menu sous la rubrique "Pichet d'eau du robinet potable GRATUITE".
Parallèlement, nous offrons une sélection d'eaux minérales premium, dont notre eau microfiltrée Purezza, qui sont payantes. Ces options sont clairement détaillées sur notre menu et sur des chevalets disposés sur chaque table.
Notre démarche écologique avec l'eau Purezza est expliquée sur ces chevalets, mettant en valeur ses avantages en termes de qualité et d'impact environnemental.
Il semble qu'il y ait eu une confusion lors de votre commande. Nous sommes désolés si une distinction n'a pas été clairement établie à ce moment-là.
Nous prenons très au sérieux votre satisfaction et la transparence de nos pratiques. Votre retour nous permettra d'améliorer notre communication pour éviter tout futur malentendu.
Nous serons ravis de vous accueillir à nouveau pour vous offrir une expérience à la hauteur de vos attentes et de nos standards habituels.
Si vous le souhaitez, je vous invite à me contacter directement pour discuter plus en détail de votre expérience et trouver une solution satisfaisante.
Cordialement,
Philippe, Gérant du Ristorante Sansavino

Excellent Italian restaurant in the heart of the medieval town of Sommières, on the Point of Sale Square. Beautiful spacious terrace. The menu is short, so the choice is a bit limited, but the cuisine is tasty and hearty. Very smiling, attentive and efficient service.

very good Italian cuisine as we like it, the dishes are generous and tasty. the seasoning is perfect, nothing to add, perfect mastery of the chef, well done, I ate the 'bombettes di carne' with spaghetti The meat was accompanied by its juice and the name of a sauce, all the difference was there! very good tasting . The room staff is naturally pleasant and very smiling. So after all that there must be a small, very small downside, for me it will be the coffee, I found it good but, it deserves to be very good, in the continuity of the meal, the Italians are very good in this area and a stronger, more aromatic coffee would have been the final point, this aroma of coffee was also missing in the tiramisu which had a texture of melting and sweet cream as desired! We are in Sommieres for another week, we would definitely go back.

A well-located, quiet terrace. The staff is rigorous while remaining very pleasant: no complaints regarding the service. Nothing to complain about the meal either: we ate very well, good dishes with Italian flavors. The “Penne alla Norcia revisita” and the dessert the “Cannoli alla sicilienne” are divine: We just want to come back to savor them.

I've probably never eaten a swordfish so delicately cooked! A pure treat! The ladies took a very successful salad from the land as well. In addition to this pleasure of the taste buds an adorable team. Again congratulations to Philippe for his art consumed in cooking fish!

An address that we never miss from one year to the next... the waiters are charming and the dishes are incredible... I was sick on the big day, the boss prepared me some herbal tea... the only downside is that the employees seem to be "quarrelsome" with each other. for a story of a number of tables to share… and Pascal, the waiter, is not the most pleasant… I want to take my dish, he brings me the box! Ugh, but overall good...

From the outside the restaurant looked nice with the slicer in the middle.
However, over time, we quickly became disillusioned... bad smells, no welcome, no explanation for the menu (it is on a QRcode). The dishes in the photo do not correspond to what is served: squash puree instead of fries, spinach instead of zucchini, super strong gorgonzola sauce certainly to hide the mediocrity of the pasta...
The desserts are super expensive for the quality and quantity.
In summary, to eat Italian, go eat pizza. It will cost you less!!!

Succulent flagship dish of ceps penne, truffle oil and parmesan.
Tables installed under the plane trees of a beautiful square medieval.
The boss goes around the tables to ensure customer satisfaction.

Had dinner on one of the squares in Sommieres. Where it is quite atmospheric in the evening with young people hanging around and cars looking for a parking space.
With the phone and scanning the QR code, the menu appears. Remnant from the Corona time? Employee was friendly.
Small menu but enough choice. We first ate a plate of antipasti di terra. And then penne alla norcia revisata. Both tasty. Add a bottle of nero d'avolo. Dessert a cannoli alla sicilianna. That was reasonable.
Price/quality not quite in balance.

In principle, this restaurant, set in a gorgeous square and very welcoming, should be the number one choice.
Over the years we've eaten here a dozen times and always waited too long for any attention, and for food delivery, and been constantly surprised at how they can charge that much for so-so food.
So with new friends in town we tried it for lunch. Charming greeting, and all seemed OK, especially as there were only 4 other tables. We ordered quickly, and then the WAIT commenced. Nearly an hour for 2 salads and 2 basic pastas.
I even went and asked for a bread basket, of which there were many inside waiting to go, but which we were never offered. When the waitress brought it she said in a scolding manner that we should not fill up on bread. (Agreed, if the food had come out in a timely manner, and this was 40 minutes into the wait!)
So almost an hour after we ordered it the food arrived and when I muttered "at last" she said "oh you must be really hungry!". So their delays were really our weaknesses!! Amazing. The food is just OK, the prices insane in this area where you can get a fine 3 course meal for 28 Euros (the price of their swordfish alone at lunch even!)
With only 4 other tables who had all been served, one wonders what the crowded evenings will be like. We won't be going back again to find out.
And just a word to the wise: the lightweight folding chairs outside are flimsy and missing parts and supports/really hazardous. The wait staff moved the dilapidated ones at our table and just put them on other tables. These should just be thrown out/they are not repairable. I hope they have good insurance!
