Why We Like It

The storied chef Michael White, formerly of Marea and Ai Fiori, is back in New York City, and we couldn’t be happier. Expect standout Italian fare, especially when it comes to seafood and pasta, that’ll linger in your memories for many meals to come.

Need to Know

In Italian, "Santi" is the plural form of "Santo", which means "saint" in English.

The name “Santi” honors Chef Michael Whites’s mentor, Gianluigi Morini, who often visited the kitchen at the Michelin Starred San Domenico. Waving off plates and utensils, he’d say, “Le mani degli chef sono come le mani dei santi” - “The hands of chefs are like the hands of saints.” Morini would then taste the dishes directly from their hands.
