Santali Souvlaki House and Amorosa Pasta

Santali offers authentic Greek cuisine in a contemporary, comfortable and relaxed setting.  Along with traditional Greek fare such as calamari and dolmathes, the restaurant’s varied menu includes roast lamb, kleftiko (lamb shoulder) and classic souvlaki dishes.  For something a bit more spicy, try the calamari Caesar salad.  While the restaurant is known for its friendly and efficient service, Santali is especially popular for their generous portions and reasonable prices. 

A family-owned Italian eatery, Amorosa offers a plethora of choices for their patrons. The flexible menu options allows for mix and match pasta dishes – choose your own sauce, pasta and fixings.
