Santino's Chilean Restaurant

""A Taste of Home Away from Home!" I recently had the pleasure of visiting a Chilean-American restaurant, and it was a nostalgic journey that instantly transported me back to my roots in Chile. This gem is not just a dining experience; it's a heartfelt connection to the flavors and warmth of home. From the first step inside, the atmosphere echoed the spirit of Chile, creating a cozy and inviting space. The menu, a fusion of Chilean and American delights, beautifully captured the essence of both cuisines. Each dish was a harmonious blend that paid homage to traditional Chilean flavors while offering a delightful twist. The attention to detail in recreating the dishes was impressive, bringing back memories of family gatherings and celebrations in Chile. The staff, friendly and accommodating, added to the welcoming atmosphere, making the experience feel like a gathering among friends. What truly set this restaurant apart was its ability to evoke the essence of Chile while embracing the American culinary landscape. It's more than a meal; it's a celebration of cultural diversity and the universal joy found in good food. If you're looking for a taste of Chile that feels like a homecoming, this Chilean-American restaurant is the place to be. Five stars for capturing the heart and soul of Chilean hospitality!"

"Excellent food, we tried food from the Chilean menu, awesome! The hotdogs were excellent, dessert was great, and the beers were exceptional. Thanks for the experience, we will return again!"

"Don’t expect authentic Chilean food. Based on what I tried they both had a new twist to what I grew up a costumed to. The empanadas have an overwhelming taste, they either added too much Merken or another condiment that’s not true to the original to the recipe. The chacarero was good. However they add banana peppers. Again this is more like Chilean food with a twist. As far as the service, it’s more like self-serve. While the waitress is nice she barely checks up on you. I wish them luck with their endeavor, but I hope they learn the original recipe."

"We were pulled in by the pizza and wings offerings. When we walked in, we noticed right away that the ac was either malfunctioning or insufficient. But, it’s Florida mid July…could be both. We ordered a medium pizza, with intentions to bring the rest home. They brought it out in no time(we were the only customers in there). It smelled delicious, but it was just ok. The pizza had good flavor, but the crust was hard to bite through, and even cutting it was tough. I don’t know…maybe we should have tried some wings too."
