Although word has it that the place is packed in the evenings we enjoyed some excellent tapas dishes, fine beers, and sangria one Monday afternoon with the place to ourselves (except for one diligent writer hunched over his notebook computer). Do yourself a favor and, if you're in the neighborhood, give Santino's a try. It's only a few blocks south of Ocean Park Blvd on Lincoln Blvd, just north of Rose.
Pros: casual with fine food and drink
Cons: parking might be an issue at times
