Pleasantly surprised. I got the crab cake appetizer. I am peculiar about my crab cakes. It is a great lump crab cake with little filler, with a bit of green pepper and onion to taste. I would get again! My son got the Don. Huge! Excellent taste. The service was attentive. The ambiance was bright and clean, with the afternoon sun coming through the high windows. read more

My boyfriend and I wanted to try a new place. We have driven past this restaurant numerous times and felt like it was time to try it. Upon entering the dining area I pretty big they have a pretty cool light fixture and the ambiance is nice. Once we were sat we asked if there was a drink menu. The waitress though nice, said no. When we asked about a wine list she again said no. I have never been to a restaurant where they did not have a drink menu..... we ended up getting our usual seltzer. The menu had a decent assortment and my boyfriend loves linguine and clam sauce. We are gluten free so it was going to have to be penne but it was nice it was an option. He said he liked that they gave him a lot of clams and it wasn't a puree but there was hardly any flavor at all. I ordered the Caperese Chicken with gluten free penne..... from the picture it looked good however, the chicken was so charred all you could taste was the grill. The only thing that has some flavor was the pasta. It had a faint garlic taste. The server though friendly didn't check on us that often and our food took over 45 minutes to come out and it wasn't busy. Im not sure if we just came on a one off night but the food just wasn't good. The drinks though had a pretty good price point. I'll come back for the drinks and id skip the food. read more

Really impressed with all of the Valentine's Day decor! I found out they also had Halloween, and Christmas pop up as well. I couldn't believe they offered outdoor seating on the deck. I can't wait to make a reservation for this! Valet parking, awesome food, and this ambiance! Love it. read more

We stopped at Santello's after church today for lunch and boy was it good. It was our first time trying this place so we didn't know what to expect. The service was stellar and the food was delicious. We started out with the pretzel braids and literally it was the best tasting pretzel I've ever had. Something about that dough was special and made magical things happen with one's tastebuds. I ordered the B&S smash burger for my entree and they definitely smashed it out of the park with this one. We were blown away with this restaurant and will definitely be back. read more

Great!! 7 of us friends went yesterday to hear Good Guys Trio at Santello's, most of us for the first time. They had both a drink menu and a wine list, previously reported on Yelp to not exist. I had a nice California Cabernet for $10, the craft beers came in two sizes, and the 24 ounce was also $10. A couple of the women ordered specialty cocktails, which they said we're good but had very little alcohol. We ordered a variety of appetizers and entrées. The pretzels were amazing and came with a nice beard cheese dip. One person ordered the cheese sticks, which looked like two churros, they were huge. They came with marinara and he also ordered ranch dressing. Meatballs were another appetizer and they smelled delicious and were also very large. I had the house salad and they allowed me to substitute the cheese. With that I had an incredible crabcake. Ordered "the Don" from my husband to go, as he was in the band. Attentive service by Anaya. The atmosphere was a little rustic, kind of like a barn, and with the high ceilings, the noise level was pretty intense. Thus the reason for the four stars. Otherwise it was a great afternoon early evening with wonderful entertainment, good food, and drinks, and will definitely return. read more

The name is misleading. The food I received was not made from scratch, so it seems. The chicken piccata definately had a reheated taste, the chicken did not have a sizzling bubbly coating drenched in capers and sauce, it was mushy, the taste was dry, with hard to find capers. And the buttery garlic sauce was scarce. So dissapointing. I likened it to microwave frozen fishsticks. So no more food here. That said, the waitress was a pleasant as could be, she was cheerful, helpful and pretty quick. The atmosphere was definatly bar atmosphere. We have no plans to go back, although I will say our expectations were high before going. read more

Before going, I saw on social media they were rolling out a new menu and I guess I expected more because it recently changed names, etc. the place itself is a nice space for not outdoor and indoor seating, looks like live entertainment at night with a stage. It took a very long time for our food to come out and when we got there, it was just us and one or two other tables inside. When the food did come out, plate presentation looked like it was all just thrown on the plates, all our sandwiches looked plain, no lettuce, tomato, tartar for the fish(said they were out). We were going to order a second round of beers, but it was difficult to get our server to come and check on us. We walked over to where they were rolling silverware and just grabbed extra napkins ourselves. Not sure what the new menu items were, but nothing we ordered would make me come back. read more

Santello's Scratch Kitchen - Fired chicken bacon wrap - Sports Bars Near Me - Washington, Pennsylvania

I've been to Santello's about 4-5 times, I need to go more often. I went for Happy Hour time, which is a great deal! There were two bartenders working at the bar, they were working hard because they were so busy. But it wasn't too long to wait to get a drink. I ordered the Lemon Rigatoni, it was so, so good, and enough for me to take home. I ordered a chicken wrap to take home for dinner the next day. It was very good too! The best thing was the Lemon Ricotta cake, I still have some, it's enormous, get it to share. There are lots of local places out there, they are really working hard to get everything right. read more

We have been coming to santello's and what it was previously for almost ten years. Always large parties, because we have a big family.So ten people or more . I am a huge tipper , twenty five percent or more. The last 3 times we have been there were so disappointing and I always say we won't go back. The food is not great and I can handle that, but the service And the attitude of the employees is so poor I don't think we can do it any longer. This is very unfortunate because having the outside area Is quite a peeling and it is a convenient location for all of us, but\nThe unprofessionalism and negativity has become too much read more

I came here a handful of times when this place was Frankie I'd. It was ok. The food was mediocre and ambiance was meh. Not now that it's Santellos this place IS BOMB!!!!!! They had live bands every Friday and have room to dance (and a lot of people do!) I've eaten here four times and everything I've had was fantastic. They also have outdoor seating in summer. The parking lot normally has space unless a popular band then they have valet or you just park down the street. This is slowly becoming my go to place. They have a big bar plus booths and tables. read more

My family and I visited Santellos this past week, but we were thoroughly disappointed in our experience. We wouldn't return after our experience, especially considering how the staff talked about each other in front of customers. Our server, whose name began with an A, seemed miserable and disinterested throughout the night. She was unaware of the menu items ingredients and allergy concerns. Sitting near the host stand, we were subjected to the drama and gossip of the staff, which made the atmosphere uncomfortable. This made us worry about ordering food and what they might do if they didn't like us customers. If they can openly discuss each other, what does that say about the guests? We were curious about the new owner, as we hadn't been to Santellos since the change. As we began asking questions the server had nothing positive to say about him, and the town's reviews also showed a negative reputation on him. It's unfortunate that the old place went out and a new owner took over. I'm not a fan of this new crew as the older staff and owner had better employees who seemed to actually enjoy their job and was able to answer questions about the food. The food was also disappointing. Our fries were cold, pasta wasn't saucy enough, chicken for the don was over cooked and after seeing reviews of people complaining about the food the owner becomes very defensive. It wasn't worth the drama to sit and argue over food. There are plenty of other places in Washington County with friendly staff and great food. I thought Santellos was going to change, but I wish the old place had stayed. I also know he has a reputation for taking down reviews that hurt him. And the fact you have to ask people to leave positive reviews for free food or a drink says something. My review will not be bought and I will be sure to recommend others replaces. read more

Tried it again since it's a new owner. The food was okay but was nothing special. I had the chicken parm and my mom had the Caprese chicken. Large portion, hot when it came out. Our waitress was super nice and attentive. It was really hot in there but when we told the waitress she had them shut the doors. It had just happened to be one of the days it was 95 degrees out. So it was nice that they did close the doors. We still had a good time. The dude that was performing made the night special by letting my daughter dance on stage with him! read more

Place for entertainment only. Service-bartenders work hard. Spend money to eat and deceptive cocktails while getting harassed on cover when not asked at door prior to entertainment. Drink menu offers certain liquors but are not correct. No chambord. It's raspberry sugar water and no vanilla vodka. Food sub par. Positives is music and valet oh and the cute decor. Will not return read more

Absolutely the best Pittsburgh salads in the area! We get take out a lot and I'm always torn on what kind of salad to order! They use real steak, not steak ums. I also love their salads. Portions are huge! We also like their wings. That's usually my husband's go- to. Good place for take out because the orders are always right and never let us down! read more

Dined at Santello's on a Sunday ~2pm. Woodwork bar atmosphere. Our server was very friendly and helped us decide on menu items. Stuffed Pepper appetizer was really good. I think the Reuben was our favorite! Meatball sandwich gets kudos for great presentation- 3 meatballs bursting out of a homemade loaf of bread! Onion rings very good but had to press a napkin to them to release some excess grease. All in all- a really nice lunch! Not too expensive from a lunch standpoint. The dinner type items kind of jump to a much higher price level with no in-between. I think they have some kinks to work out. read more

We met friends and had delicious meals. For appetizers we tried the meatball and crab cake. Both were good. We loved the meatballs. Our server Jess F, took great care of us. Our entrees didn't disappoint. Yummy. read more

Great place for casual dining, food is delicious and service was great!! They have great Happy hour specials!!!

What could improve? How about starting with serving food as described on the menu? The Greek salad was nasty lettuce, one hot pepper, and one tomato. When the server stopped by and I asked about the rest of the ingredients listed on the menu, she told me that she had no idea what was supposed to be on the salad and would check. Twenty minutes later, she stopped by to ask if the rest of the ingredients were delivered. I told her they were not and that's how the story ended. No apology, no offer of a discount. They literally did not care. Don't expand the menu if the chefs and servers are illiterate. Stick to small words and a few items that they can read and prepare properly. My drink was good. At least the staff understands how to pour alcohol. read more

A friend, my husband & myself went at opening 11:00am today. Between the 3 of us we ordered 2 meatball hoagies & a chicken bacon ranch wrap. The meatball hoagies were humongous. Three big meatballs fit in a pretty large hoagie roll. I can see why a free side isn't offered with them. The chicken wrap came with French fries. The French fries were limp. Not a crispy one in the bunch. Very disappointing. The wrap itself was just what the name says it is. I'm not going to crave it and want to come back repeatedly to get it again. The meatballs were very dense & had a pretty herbaceous flavor. My husband & friend agreed that they thought there were too many bread crumbs, not enough cheese & not enough time soaking in the sauce. I also asked about the water chestnut wrapped in bacon as an appetizer I read about on their Facebook site. Nobody there seemed to have a clue what I was talking about. The waitress was very friendly & attentive but our visit wasn't so memorable that we'll be back any time soon. read more

The two words that come to mind are "train wreck". This place has so much potential but... My wife and I took my daughter, son-in-law, and our two young granddaughters for an early Friday dinner. We arrived at 5:30 thinking we would beat the rush. The food took forever to get and wasn't good. Greek salad was lettuce and feta only. It took 20 minutes to get tartar sauce for my fish sandwich and 30 minutes for a beer. Overall it took 2 hours for a few salads and sandwiches. This place needs more help in the kitchen, more attentive servers and management who is more aware of the frustration of their customers. Won't be coming back anytime soon! ​ read more

If you're looking for a masterclass in patience, this is the spot. We waited 20 minutes just to get water, another 15 to order, and by the time the food showed up, we were halfway to learning meditation techniques. The staff seemed allergic to eye contact and made it clear we were not their favorite part of the day. Zero warmth, zero smiles -- just a vibe that screamed, "What do you want?" And here's the kicker -- they were out of almost everything we tried to order. Half the menu was a no-go, so we ended up just picking whatever they did have left. The good news? What we got was actually tasty... the bad news is you might not be able to get it. We bailed before ordering another round and went somewhere else -- anywhere else. If this place ever gets stocked, staffed, and a clock that moves at normal speed, it could be great. Until then, bring a backup dinner plan. read more

While the food was good, the service was exceptionally slow. I think it took almost 50 minutes from order time to serve our dinner- we had sandwiches, chicken wings with fries and onion rings....very basic. It wasn't overly crowded. It was not the waitstaff...they were very courteous, pretty efficient and accommodating. Instead, it appears they need serious help in the kitchen. It could be staffing issues, combined with a menu they might be a bit larger than necessary. read more

Just not impressed. We stopped in for dinner on a Sunday night, and there were only a few other tables filled. However, service was still very slow. The food was fine, but nothing to brag about. I had the small fish sandwich, and my husband had the Frankie I's special sandwich. The best part was the homemade chips. We like stopping by for drinks or to hang out on the weekend but probably won't be back for a meal again. read more

Santello's Scratch Kitchen - Beer Battered Fish Sandwich - Sports Bars Near Me - Washington, Pennsylvania

Just a bar that should only serve bar food. 3 of us went 5:30 Sat. night. It was not crowded. Had to ask for sticky table top to be cleaned. Out of Sauvignon Blanc. Waitress had to go searching for another wine. Didn't know the bar brands. HouseCabernet was awful. Two pasta dishes were good; the chicken was bare on the plate, not even a broccoli stem. Waitresses seemed scarce. We had to go to the cashier for our check & to pay. Valet parking? Is it for when the band plays? $44 steak?? Decide on what you want to be...a bar with bands or upscale dining. Atmosphere is definitely NOT upscale dining. Very, very disappointing. read more

Can't say nothing nice so be it. I'll never go there again who charges $9.00 for a vodka soda they just arbitrarily gave me Tetos

I ordered a cheeseburger with lettuce and onion and mayo. Fries and a side of ranch. I got an overcooked hamburger , no cheese , no mayo. And the bun was not a gluten free bun. Eating gluten makes me very ill. I knew looking at the bun it was not gf. Waitress was nice enough and she brought a slice of cheese. Never did bring the mayo. She offered to ask about the bun. But when it comes to allergies , they HAVE to do better than that. Will be a while before we return. read more

Probably the worst dining experience we have ever had. 1 hour to get apps (pretzel bread, wings, fries) and then almost another 45 minutes pass being told our entrees were almost up over and over. We asked at least for my young daughters entree which only half came out. Drinks also took 30+ minutes. The owner was present and didn't address us, apologize, or attempt to make it right. The food we did get wasn't good either. read more

I gave it two tries. First time ate in and service was terrible. No one came to our table for 23 min, i had to go ask to be waited on. Even after apologizing because it was a new hostesses training we still were treated like an after thought. Waitress said we get a "handful" of fries w sandwhich and i honestly thouhht id misheard. I didnt. But food was good so we gave it a second time we tried take out. Fail. The fries were cold And i ordered a rachel. No cole slaw. See attached. And butt end of bread and chipped turkey pieces. All for $45. I wanted to like this place, i did. But not giving a third try which is unfortunate. read more

It took forever to get our meal...and it all was cold. Fries, burger, hoagie...It was so busy that we did not send anything back to heat it up.

Dined here on a Tuesday at 5:30pm. Our server, Brooke, was friendly and efficient. We had appetizers, drinks and dinners. The stuffed hot peppers were amazing as were the sausage rolls. The Reuben was fantastic (and huge). We also had dessert, the cheesecake and lemon ricotta cake. Both were fabulous. The room was a bit noisy, but we were still able to converse amongst ourselves. We will definitely be back!! read more
