Main Street · Shildon, County Durham
Santinni is a family-run Italian restaurant in the heart of Shildon. Pasta made with care, pizza straight from the oven, and a menu with something for everyone — served in a relaxed, kid-friendly room on Main Street.
Our story
We're an independent, family-run Italian restaurant at 3–5 Main Street, and we've been feeding Shildon since 2022. Nothing fussy — just generous Italian cooking: starters to share, pasta and pizza done properly, and puddings worth staying for.
Whether it's a midweek tea, a birthday or a big family get-together, there's a table for you. Parking is limited right outside, but there's plenty more nearby — and we'd always recommend calling ahead to check availability, especially at weekends.
