Italian heritage by the bay
Good food can set the pace for the whole evening. A meal begins with the people you have brought, turns into stories across the table and sometimes lasts longer than you planned. That spirit shapes the way we welcome guests at Santini’s Restaurant & Bar. The handmade in-house pastas, pizzas and desserts are a part of it, and so is the space to enjoy them without rushing.
Our current dining menu shows what is available now. We keep it there because a good plan starts with accurate details, especially when your group has different tastes.
A Torquay table with a view
Our large venue sits on the Esplanade, with bay views and golden-hour light that invite you to pause. The front deck is dog-friendly, while the back deck has poolside views. Inside, there is room for families and large groups. You can make a simple night out of dinner or bring everyone together for a weekend lunch.
If the front deck matters to your visit, let us know when you book. Dogs are welcome there, and we can help you plan for the people and four-legged companions joining you.
Make time for lunch or dinner
Dinner is served seven nights, from 5:00 pm to 9:00 pm. Lunch is Friday to Sunday, from 11:30 am to 2:00 pm. We do not serve breakfast. The address is 469 Esplanade, Torquay QLD 4655, and free street parking is available nearby, subject to space.
Book a table when you know when you are coming. If your plans are more spontaneous, call (07) 4125 5880 to ask about the day. For a meal at home, you can order takeaway through Square for pickup at the restaurant.
When the whole group is coming
Some visits are bigger than a regular table booking. We host weddings, parties, family milestones and other private events, with in-house catering and options from a single space to full closed venue hire. Tell us what you have in mind and we can talk through the areas and possibilities together.
Australian seafood is another part of our coastal story. Read more about seafood dining in Hervey Bay, or explore our functions and weddings page if you are planning an occasion.
