Santoré - (Near City of London, South East)

5 /5 Neil Davis: This is a wonderful Italian restaurant that preserves the traditions of some of my favourite Italian eateries of days gone by - Vitello doro, Topo Gigio, The Florence on Villiers Street.... Hearty Italian food, large plates and excellent service in a happy friendly atmosphere. I ate the largest piece of veal Ive ever seen served with Spaghetti Pomodoro, my two companions had a Tuna Salad and the Merluzzo respectively. As youll see from the photos, my first thoughts were to tuck in before I remembered to get the camera out!! More than simply eating...

4 /5 derek neo: The Italian dishes were on point - lasagne al forno, calzone, margarita pizza, spaghetti vongole, and Moretti beer rounded out a fantastic meal. Everything was delicious, with fresh flavors and generous portions.

4 /5 David Simkins: Came here with friends on a Saturday evening. A really traditional Italian restaurant in a busy, buzzy area. Lots of outdoor seating creates a great atmosphere. My mussels starter was very good, but I thought my lasagne was lacking a little flavour, compared to some other restaurants I’ve dined at. The sharing pizza is a great idea, with different toppings at each end. Overall the food was good and the service excellent. Also good value for the area.

4 /5 Daniel AM: The restaurant is situated on the pedestrian walk in Exmouth Market, not hard to find. The restaurant is very nice not over crowded which is ideal for a nice lunch. The restaurant is clean, tidy and you dont feel cramped in your chair. They can accomodate smaller groups but you will need to call ahead for arragements. The staff and service is very good. The food is tasty and their drink menu is generous. The coffee is very good. Good place for lunch with friends, family, dates or eating alone.

5 /5 Cor Cater: Santoré is the kind of Italian restaurant you almost don’t want to shout about — because once word really gets out, you’ll never get a table again. The decor is low-key and unfussy: warm tiles, simple wooden tables, shelves lined with wine bottles, and that comforting hum of conversation bouncing off the walls. Nothing flashy, nothing staged — just a proper trattoria feel. The place was absolutely packed, and not with tourists. Italians everywhere. Italian diners, Italian staff, rapid-fire Italian flying across the room. Always a good sign. I went with an Italian friend and made the only sensible decision: I didn’t even open the menu. I just told her to order. What followed was pure gluten bliss. The pizza is the real deal — beautifully blistered crust, light but structured, the kind of dough that’s clearly been treated with patience and respect. And yes, they do pizza by the meter, which feels both gloriously excessive and completely necessary once you taste it. Toppings were simple, high-quality, and perfectly balanced. No overloading, no gimmicks — just authentic flavour. Everything we had felt generous and honest. Great ingredients, confident cooking, zero pretension. Santoré doesn’t try to impress you — it just quietly delivers, and delivers exceptionally well. If you want proper Italian pizza, surrounded by people who clearly know what proper Italian pizza is supposed to taste like, this is your place. I’ll be back — hungry.
