The steak & cheese is delicious and filling. I love steak fries and they also have a variety of dessert options. It's expensive if you size up the sandwich & add fries.

I wasn't feeling well today and wanted chicken noodle soup. It totally hit the spot and I asked for extra crackers and they delivered it all up and it was absolutely perfect. The soup was hot and delicious and I will be ordering it again.

Santinis is a hit or miss. It is a McLean favorite though. I like the pizza, steak and cheese, and the club sandwich. The grilled cheese was subpar. That are a bit over priced but I guess it's location.... idk. Sometimes the food is amazing and others it's disgusting. They are consistent but I still eat there.

I do really enjoy this place. Absolutely great sandwiches! My one complaint would be how long the line gets sometimes. They do their best to get through it fast, but you do have to wait sometimes. I also wish they had more seating sometimes because it does get packed and is sometimes hard to find a seat. Still, great sandwiches, very large drink selection, and friendly staff.

The godfather is still my fav today. It's a hard choice between that and the Italian. Even after all these years, this sub hits the spot and delivers consistently every time I go.

I didn't realize this place was in McLean and I ordered via GrubHub to Arlington....and the pizza held up. Don't sleep on the chicken salad because it is excellent. But it's the pizza that has my heart - amazing crust, toasty on the bottom but also chewy and flexible so you can fold for that real NY experience where you cram the entire slice in your mouth. I don't usually eat the crust. I ate this crust. I got a medium pizza, which will usually last me a couple of days. I ate half for lunch and I'm eating the other half for dinner. Next time I'll just go with either pepperoni or bacon, not both coz it was too salty for me. But man, that sauce and that crust is A++++ delectable.
