"Food was fantastic all around. Pricing is high but the pasta dishes really did deliver. Unfortunately service was not at the same level. At this price point they should not be forgetting drink orders and be more attentive. No reservations needed if you are willing to sit outside."

"Exceptional fish restaurant in central London. The service was impeccable (with a particular note to Mike who served us), friendly and very professional. The food was amazing, I thoguht the lobster pasta was the stand-out dish, but the gnocci with red shrimp was the overall favorite at the table. The fresh fish was amazing, simply served with potatoes, tomatores and olives, beautifully cooked and an impressive centrepience. It's worth going just to see how the fish display at the back of the restarant."

"An exceptional dining experience and without doubt one of the best Mediterranean fish restaurants I have ever visited. The quality of the seafood is outstanding—fresh fish flown in directly from Italy and Spain, which truly makes a remarkable difference. The flavours, presentation, and authenticity are simply superb. A special mention to Mike, the manager, whose warm, attentive, and professional service made the evening even more memorable. We felt genuinely welcomed and well cared for throughout our visit. We absolutely loved it and will most certainly be returning."

"We had a fantastic dinner last night—everything was perfect! The fish was incredibly fresh, bursting with flavor, and beautifully prepared. The service truly stood out, with Alessandro and Mike going above and beyond to make us feel welcome and cared for. A truly memorable evening—we’ll definitely be back!"

"A friend of mine has suggested this restaurant and I decided to celebrate a special birthday there. From the call in the morning with Damiano to organise the dinner, to the late night that we left, everything went absolutely perfect. Damiano has an exceptional service, and his team as well… the quality of food it’s next level! Nothing to say… this is the place where I’ll go for my special occasion!! Thanks Santo Mare, thanks Damiano, to have made this day more special!"

This restaurant has such a cozy and charming atmosphere! From the moment you walk in, you feel right at home.
