Locals in London’s Farringdon are spoilt for choice when it comes to first class restaurants, but few are as popular as Santore restaurant in Exmouth Market. This comfortably rustic Italian restaurant with its dark wood furniture and cosy banquette seating, is packed with hungry City slickers at lunchtimes. After work, Santore attracts a laid-back foodie crowd. Authentic touches like tiled floors and wooden shelves with bottles of Italian olive oils and wines will make you feel like you’re really in Italy. On the menu you’ll find hearty Italian fare like veal Milanese, deep-fried calamari and a range of tasty pasta dishes. If it’s proper pizza you’re craving, then you’re in luck, because Santore’s wood-fired oven churns out some of the best pizza anywhere, including the pizza al metro sold by the metre, or delicious rotolo rustico, a rolled pizza filled with mozzarella, ricotta, smoked cheese and sautéed aubergines.

The restaurant is in the perfect location for a pre theatre meal. It would also be convenient if visiting the area and looking for a light lunch. The waiting staff are very efficient and courteous. The service was exactly the right speed between courses. I have eaten here several times and have been disappointed. The anti pasta starter was particularly good offering hot and cold food.

The restaurant is nice, there are lots of good options on the menu and the staff is friendly. However I thought the food was way too salty and that there was a lot of unpleasant noise, to the point that it was difficult to have a conversation even if we were just two people at a small table. Lots of great places on Exmouth Market so might not go back to this one, unfortunately.

This lovely Italian is just down the road from is and we visit often. Food is reliable normally though we found the garlic bread lacking in garlic and was just tomatoes on pizza dough. Steak, excellent though. Service was efficient and friendly. Great Nero d Avalo too.

Have visited here many times. Very handy for visiting Sadlers Wells theatre either pre or post show. Food very good, great pizzas and good specials. We had suckling pig for one dish which was good. But it is the staff that really stand out. They are lovely, and if they recognise you they treat you like an old friend. Wonderful Italian wine list. Every bottle we have had here has been delicious. Definitely worth a visit - although it can be extremely busy so worth booking.

The reviews were raving so I was a little disappointed. Although nothing was wrong with the food and the service was very nice I did find overall it was just like any other Italian. Portions were a good size, restaurant was busy. Looking around I think perhaps pizza is better than pasta and does a roaring trade. I won;t personally be returning as I found it a little pricey for what it was and prefer Bella Vita on Broadway market for value and taste.

Santore is a regular dinner venue when we're in London. It has a wonderful ambience - busy but not too noisy - and the staff are very friendly and obliging. Food is well prepared and presented and offered at competitive prices. The same goes for their extensive range of wines. The restaurant being on a road with restricted traffic access, a number of tables is available on the pavement outside the restaurant at which meals can be taken; this area is heated in the cooler months. All in all a good value venue with a real Italian atmosphere.

I came here for a birthday lunch on a Saturday with a group of friends, we had the 1 meter pizza to share and a few starters. Loved the pizza-tasted yummy and great for sharing. The aubergine starters were really delicious! Atmosphere of the restaurant is really nice, the waiters are really really lovely and friendly, always making jokes with us and making sure we was okay. Definitely recommend this place for birthdays and large groups, and will be coming back with boyfriend.
