Santi Restaurante
Inside Santi Restaurante
Santi Restaurante sits comfortably on the Alicante marina, offering a Mediterranean dining experience with a strong emphasis on fresh seafood. Positioned along Mlle. Levante, its setting provides diners with a relaxed view of the water, hinting at why this spot draws locals and visitors looking for a quiet, unhurried meal.
The atmosphere here is calm without feeling overly formal, with spacious table arrangements that avoid the cramped feeling some waterfront restaurants can have. It’s a place where you might linger over a plate of Arroz a Banda or grilled Gamba y Cigalas, soaking in the soft murmur of the marina alongside the subtle buzz of fellow diners. The service is friendly and professional, and while not overly flashy, it feels approachable—there's a genuine effort to make guests comfortable, even if the welcome can sometimes feel reserved.
Seafood clearly takes center stage, with offerings like Rodaballo, Lenguado, and Calamar a la Plancha consistently cooked well and fresh, which explains the steady crowd of regulars. But there are also well-prepared meat options, and starters such as Boquerones al Limón and Ensaladilla Rusa to round out the meal.
This spot suits those who appreciate quality over quick bites—its pricing leans a bit above average for Alicante, reflecting the quality of ingredients and the prime marina views. It's ideal for an early dinner where the sky can catch the last light over the boats, or a leisurely weekend lunch when the marina is lively but not overwhelming.
Local residents often return not just for the food but for the subtle rhythm of the place—the steady presence of familiar faces, the quiet comfort of a shared neighborhood table, and the view that connects the city to the sea.
