About Restaurant Santino
Tucked into Globe Lane in Wollongong, Restaurant Santino brings a bold yet refined take on modern Italian dining to the heart of the city. This intimate neighbourhood bistro blends old-world inspiration with contemporary energy, where art deco details meet a subtle disco-infused vibe. The menu celebrates the essence of Italian cuisine through handcrafted pasta made fresh daily and thoughtfully reimagined classics, all built on quality, seasonal ingredients. Warm, inviting and effortlessly stylish, Santino is a place to settle in with friends, share generous plates and savour a lively laneway atmosphere that feels both nostalgic and unmistakably current.
A few words from Restaurant Santino
Restaurant Santino is tucked away in the corner of a lively laneway in central Wollongong. Our Italian style bistro has a wonderfully classic feel, creating an ambiance fit for a dirty martini and a number from Nina Simone. Walls are adorned with art deco prints which set off this incredibly designed, chic space.
Our team of talented chefs takes pride in using only the freshest ingredients and creating dishes that are both traditional and contemporary. We make our fresh pasta daily, on a rotating menu so you can always expect something new and exciting.
At Restaurant Santino, we understand that a great meal deserves an equally great wine pairing. That's why we have a cellar stocked with an impressive selection of wines from around the world. Whether you're a seasoned wine enthusiast or just discovering the joys of wine, our team is here to help you find the perfect bottle to complement your meal.
Nestled in its Australian roots, Restaurant Santino embodies an Italian fantasy, creating a cozy and welcoming atmosphere. This unique space blends the lively vibes of disco and groove music, offering a toast with the finest selections of Amaro.
