In Short
One side of this casual spot is lined with beverage coolers, a chips rack and a display case packed with cheeses, meats and olives. Beyond a beer-logo-plastered half wall, however, is a four-stool bar, several more tables and a wall-mounted TV. A two-page menu includes sandwiches like hot roast beef and breaded sirloin or chicken with provolone. Mediterranean-style tapas highlights are antipasto plates, spinach or meat empanadas and garlicky white bean dip.

Great service with a family atmosphere. Great live music (it was TUE). Tried the sauteed shrimp (10/10), Empanadas (beef 10/10, cheese/basil 8/10), Panini (8/10), Cuban Salad (10/10), and a bold Argentinean cab (9/10). New local favorite!!

I live in the neighborhood, heard good things and checked them out. Their food is fantastic, especially the Cuban salad. They had a fantastic guitar player/singer named Bob playing everything from Jobim to Simon & Garfunkle to jazz standards. He was one of the finest singers I've ever heard. He said he was just hired to play regularly every Wednesday night. The service was fantastic...the atmosphere was very cool, Argentinian style. Go there, especially Wednesday nights! You will not be disappointed!

Although word has it that the place is packed in the evenings we enjoyed some excellent tapas dishes, fine beers, and sangria one Monday afternoon with the place to ourselves (except for one diligent writer hunched over his notebook computer). Do yourself a favor and, if you're in the neighborhood, give Santino's a try. It's only a few blocks south of Ocean Park Blvd on Lincoln Blvd, just north of Rose.
