Amazing food and amazing service! The dishes are quite small but still filling. We had the chickpea pancakes with tuna tartare, avocado tapenade and truffle eggs; the arugula and fig salad; shrimp zingara with grilled mushrooms and the chocolate ice cream cake. A filling and delicious meal! I especially love their colorful plates and decor.
Fantastic meal is an understatement. One of the best meals I've ever had and I'm born and raised in Manhattan eating at my fare share of places. Gluten dairy and tree nut allergy and I was still in heaven. Thanks Santina!

Santina is hands-down one of my new favorite restaurants in the Meatpacking District.
Everything was amazing here from the decor, to the food, to the service. I rarely give out 5-star reviews, but this place is definitely worth it.
For starters, i had the Lamb Meatballs and sampled their famous Squash Carpaccio. The lamb meatballs were delicious, however, they were very small (think: slightly bigger than Swedish meatballs); I definitely could have easily had two plates of the meatballs as a starter. I wasn’t a huge fan of the squash, I thought it was decent, but the other three people in my party raves about the dish.
For my main, I had the Tortellini Sorrentina. The pesto and marinara sauce in the dish paired nicely together and brought out the flavors of the meal. Again, the size of the pasta was much smaller than I anticipated and I could have used a second dish.
I ordered the Capri Sun cocktail and it was beyond amazing; it is one of the best cocktails I’ve ever had.
The price point for the food was decent and everything was delectable. I would definitely return.
One of my favorite places during winter. Because it feels like stepping into a mediterranean restaurant in the summer! Staff is very helpful, drinks are amazing and so are the sharing plates! It’s usually packed during the weekends so make a reservation in advance if you are planning to go here.
I honestly loved everything except of the prices. This place is really good but not out of the ordinary good, this is why I think that the price tag doesn't fit the value you get, but this is only my personal opinion. I had the chickpeas pancakes with the egg salad and a side of bacon, everything was yummy and fresh.
Absolutely loved this place! We ordered a salad, pancakes with avocado and french toast. Shared between four of us. During brunch hours its pretty lively and loud, so I am going to try to come there when there are less people.
One of my favorite meals I've had this summer in NYC. Such a perfect place for dinner with outdoor seating. The food was delicious, we literally cleaned our plates up! The service is amazing as well. @traveleen_gurl
Pleased with the Cecina experience for our first time, and we liked the take on coastal Italian cuisine! The ‘View from Positano’ cocktail is DELICIOUS! A new favorite drink of mine, for sure! Both of our meals were delicious, and we would happily return.
I’d love to give 5-stars, but I was concerned about the open statement as a gluten-free restaurant, including stating this on their menu. As it turns out, the tortellini is not gluten-free and therefore gluten does enter the kitchen. Thus, I’d say this is a gluten-free safe restaurant but not a Celiac-safe restaurant. Two ladies next to us were prepared to order the tortellini as Celiac diners themselves but were greatly disturbed when they were advised of this detail when ordering.
By far one of the best breakfasts I’ve ever had in nyc. Food was so full of amazing flavors and their two house made sauces the salsa verde and Smokey tomato were unbelievably delicious. I coated my entire meal with them. We are definitely coming back as there is so much more to try, great location next to the Whitney Museum! You must try it here!
Very nice environment, service and food. Strongly recommend for brunch. The chocolate mousse with chocolate was amazing. The day light is a plus.
