About

Sannio is a popular choice for pre-theatre dining due to its proximity to the King's Theatre. Guests love the cozy, aesthetic decor and the authentic Italian dishes, especially the pasta in garlic bread bowls. While the food is generally well-received, the restaurant's small size leads to cramped seating and a rushed service experience during busy times. Despite this, many diners find it a charming gem and plan to return.
