Where do I start , I gave the food one star because there’s no effort put into it . Growing up in Jersey and Philly I’m a tough critic when it comes to pizza and Italian cuisine . The garlic knots I had to doctor up and still couldn’t even eat them they were so dry , no olive oil , no garlic , just dried out bread balls and served with whatever they think they are calling a marinara . The pizza couldn’t even stand with the cheap tasting cheese on it and flavorless . The service is part of the food you serve and represent . The atmosphere they play the music of their culture and not Italian culture so no consideration for the guest and why they come to an. “ Italian pizza and cuisine “ location . I would strongly not recommend this place .

Absolutely love this spot!
We’ve been twice already and can’t get enough. The place is spotless, the food is clearly made with real care, and everything we’ve tried has been seriously delicious. Cozy, welcoming atmosphere that just feels right. Prices are fair and totally worth it. We’ll definitely be back many more times! Highly recommend.

Visiting Aberdeen from out of town staying at a nearby hotel and was hesitant to try this place due to some reviews. However glad we did – the pizza was fantastic, among the best NY style we’ve had. Onion rings were very good and jalapeno poppers were huge. Customer service was very good – staff really did seem to want to please. Only minor drawback was it seemed a little pricey, but probably par for this part of Maryland. Recommended!

Update : I’ve been back about 3 days to eat here and the first day I assumed the guy at the counter was having a bad day but the next two times I visited his attitude got even worst . So I have to lower the rating because the foods ok . But his attitude is just not friendly . I spent $30 today and asked for 2 ranch dressings and his reply was we only have only we ran out of ranch but the next customer ordered wings and got 4 ranch dressing with 10 wings ! Lmao
Great place to sit in , food was ok not my favorite but likable for a quick bite . Customer service was ok . Did enough to not be rude . Wasn’t overly friendly didn’t offer any specials or give any recommendations.

I decided to try Santini’s in Aberdeen for the first time after smelling the food from the Home Depot parking lot—it definitely had a great aroma that drew me in. Unfortunately, the experience didn’t live up to the expectations.
I ordered pickup through their website while shopping nearby. The Shrimp Scampi description said it came with sautéed jumbo shrimp and diced tomatoes in a spicy marinara over spaghetti. What I received was overcooked shrimp sitting in a pool of butter with barely any seasoning—no marinara, no spice, no tomatoes. (Pictured) The noodles were literally drowning in butter, and it was hard to get through even half of the dish.
I also tried the fettuccine Alfredo, which wasn’t very creamy and lacked flavor. The onion rings and fries were okay but soggy—the bag was basically sweating by the time I picked it up. As for the Caesar salad, it was disappointing. The dressing had barely any taste, the croutons were stale, and it didn’t include any extras like onions, tomatoes, or cucumbers—just lettuce, bland dressing, and stale croutons.
Overall, the food was more expensive than it was worth, and I was left really disappointed. I wanted to give it an honest try, but I won’t be returning.

Ever since I moved to the area in 2021, I have been ordering from Santini’s. It used to be the best in the area. Tonight, the food was horrific. We got a panini, a sub, crab dip, and a pasta. The only thing we could eat was the sub. The panini was not made as it should have been with barely any meat on it. The pasta was swimming in a liquidy butter sauce and was way overcooked. The salad was mainly tomatoes and olives with barely any lettuce. The crab dip had a thick layer of cheese and barely any dip underneath. The meatball sub was fine, but the sauce didn’t taste great. This is a huge disappointment because it’s always been amazing in the past and at the very least, edible. We had to toss away about $40 worth of food tonight and eat something else. I’m more upset than anything. If you want a better restaurant recommendation, Bacco’s pizzeria in Abingdon blows this place out of the water.

Ordered takeout-the veal Parmesan sub is top tier! Plenty of meat and cheese, fresh toasted bread. Very happy

Place has went down hill. We used to get Pizza from here often when they first opened. It’s been a year or so since we have been here, and we were very disappointed. The mozzarella sticks tasted cheap, old and microwaved. Instead of marinara, they serve them with something that resembles tomato soup. The pizza was not good, also tasted like cheap ingredients. Was also very hot in the dining room, they had the door open instead of having the air conditioning on and it was stuffy in there.

My wife loved the Eggplant parm. and the associated house salad (It was large and tasty!). The Cheese steak sandwich was good. The french fries were really good: chrispy outside soft inside (perfect). Service was excellent being very responsive to requests.

The food was supposed to arrive to my door in 45 minutes. It arrived in 55. Then, when it arrived i realized my order was wrong. So i eat the incorrect order thinking “he can’t do anything with an order that already had entered my home”, like any normal human would. Then i decide to call to inform them of the fact that my order was incorrect and the guy that picks up the phone says, he would bring what i asked for initially in another 45 minutes. So I’m actually a lil happy thinking “yeah, i get 20 wings instead of 10 as a result the TWO INCONVENIENCES”. Then after the 45 ADDITIONAL minutes, the guy arrives with the wings that I asked for. Then, he has the AUDACITY to ask me to hand him the incorrect order and since I didn’t have the patience for the dramatics, I hand him the order, he looks down at the incorrect order I hand him and he says “You are half of it?!?!?!?!?” Of course I did, you handed it to me which means it is now mine. You can’t take it back and serve it. What in gods name are you planning on doing with the incorrect order anyway besides throwing it away?
