Reviews Pizzeria Santaniello

Absolutely loved the place. I'm from Australia and my partner is from the U.S. The food was great and our server (didn't catch his name) was unbelievably sweet and friendly.

Have been here many times & the food is always delicious! The staff are friendly & can’t do enough for you also!! Could highly recommend!

I wasn't surprised to find this place packed on arrival as all I ever hear is amazing reviews but we did get a table and found the staff to be happy and helpful! The house red was delicious and the starters came out very quickly. The pizzas were outstanding. Totally authentic hand stretched thin deliciousness with a huge range to choose from. I cannot believe how reasonable this place is on cost, I would happily have paid more... especially for the cheesecake! Two adults having wine, two pizzas, garlic bread, olives and a dessert for £44 is just a no brainer. We will definitely be back!

I always feel it’s nice to support local independent restaurants and this is certainly an example of such a place, with a really family-run vibe. We visited on a Saturday evening and there were no more reservations being taken, so were lucky to secure a table at all - make sure you reserve if you’re going at peak time! The first thing which unfortunately strikes is how cramped the place is. It’s a large restaurant but they’ve really crammed the tables in, both in the main dining area as well as the extension to the side. The sheer volume of people in the place, along with wooden chairs on the tiled floor makes it very noisy, although it’s certainly a lively atmosphere. The (what I assume to be newer) extension on the side isn’t quite decorated to the same level as the main area so feels a little detached and ‘no-frills’ but fortunately the level of service from the staff was just as good. The menu is basic, just as you’d expect a traditional small family run place to be, and naturally pizzas are the focus although there are a few other Italian dishes. The choice of pizzas is very large and the prices for even the most heavily topped ones is reasonable. Orders were taken quickly from the staff, drinks were served fast and despite how busy the place was, the main meals arrived really quickly. The pizzas were large although there was quite a space left between the edges and the topping, meaning there was probably too much burnt base for the size. However the toppings were generous and cooked thoroughly. Everyone in the group found the size filling enough to not need any desert orders! The staff were brilliant throughout being really fast, always on hand and friendly. This is a credit to them given how many other diners there were. The noise levels were far too high to make it a relaxing experience though, and being crammed in so tight amongst everyone else was a shame. Other than that though it was a great meal and felt really authentic. I’ll certainly return, just probably not at such a popular time.

This is the go to Place in Bedford for delicious Pizza.The specials are always amazing as well.The delicious cheeses cakes are made in house as well.. We have been going here for 40 years..and now our grandchildren watch Tony throwing the pizzas in amazement..🍕

Lovely little slice of Italy in the heart of Bedford, the pizzas came out looking gorgeous & the dough was super fluffy & light. You walk in & think you could be in Rome! Super friendly staff & general wholesome atmosphere. Highly recommend

The food here was excellent, so so tasty and generous portions. We did wait a while for our order to be taken and again for someone to come and give us the bill. I wouldn’t recommend the house white. Overall though it was a delicious meal and staff were friendly.

Just like napoli... Well almost

Great place for a lovely pizza. Bit noisy but it's good to see it so busy
