Santioni's Italian Restaurant

Live piano music at 6 was wonderful!! Dinner was scrumptious!! We had a couple of cocktails- Sardinia Seas and The Sinatra. Then, the Veal Marsala made guten free and with gluten-free pasta Alfredo.. the Marsala sauce was rich and full-bodied.. full of mushrooms! Then also we had the lasagna, which was very good - a little on the acidic side on the sauce.. the atmosphere was quaint..very warm and relaxed.. we will drive the 45 min to come here periodically!!

This place is AMAZING!! There's a place in Indianapolis called Mama Corolla's that this place reminds me of, and they should model their location after theirs. They should move this restaurant from their strip mall facility into an old, italian house. This place has amazing food, service, and family owned. The owner sings beautifully, and they have a pianist playing throughout the night. Bring a few dollars to tip him. They played happy birthday for my son on the piano and they tried to accommodate my gluten and dairy free needs as best they could. That's actually one of the only areas they could improve... More gluten and dairy free info so that us with allergies can eat here without fear. The other thing I would improve is the atmosphere location. This could be the Jacksonville romantic spot. The atmosphere is really great, but it could be so much more if it we're just a bit cozier and without the ceiling tiles dampening the mood. Very clean, except the bathroom door could use a wipe down. I'm a foodie and I'm picky about food flavor. This place wowed us. Like all of my reviews, I hope the owners read this to improve. We live 2 hours away, and we will be back!
