Profile

De Santos is the fourth location of a proliferating chainlet and the joint venture, in part, of a Cuban-Colombian drummer, his Mexican-Italian brother-in-law, and two Italian veterans of Savanna's in Southampton. The restaurant group originated in Mexico, as did Alex González's Latin rock band, Maná. But that provenance isn't reflected in De Santos' modern Italian menu, which resembles Savanna's and includes dishes like roasted Long Island duck, almond-crusted lamb chops, and cavatelli with mussels and cannellini beans (pictured; entrées $20 to $27). Occupying the basement and ground floors of the Greenwich Village brownstone that previously housed Caffé Torino, De Santos is equipped with a patio, an international wine list, and the all-important sound system—because according to partner Luis Miguel Amutio, "Food tastes better with music." — Rob Patronite and Robin Raisfeld

attitude in the place sucked...service was terrible. food was ok at best. the baby chicken was so average...the napolean was terrible. the best thing about the place is the decor and location... there are so many better options in the neighborhood...even on the block, that i wouldnt waste my time/money w/ this place.

I came to De Santos on a Friday night with my husband and 2 other couples. It was very crowded and we hadn't made a reservation so we were hoping for the best when we walked in. The hostess let us know she could squeeze us in in 15 minutes. We found a cozy corner at the bar and had a glass of wine and were half-way through our wine when we were told we would be able to sit down. We were thrilled! We quickly ordered and I must say the food was amazing! I had the tuna tartare and the basil crusted swordfish. Everything tasted spectacular! We had an amazing time at De Santos and they were so accomodating and so wonderful to us that we will for sure be back. Next time, with a reservation!
