"My husband I took our six year old to Tutti Santi for a family date night before the Taylor Swift concert the other night. We had never dined here before. We were very disappointed in the food. The service was good and the restaurant was beautiful. Our appetizer was good and our salads were good but our entrees were so over cooked I would call the pasta gelatinous. For what we paid (over $100) for our meal, it should have been excellent. All three of us left most of our pasta on our plates. I left feeling as if I had been stolen from. Paying for that dinner was like handing them $100 to throw away the food we ordered. I woke up the next day and wanted to call and complain but decided it would only make me more angry."

"I have eaten at this restaurant a few times and I have never been disappointed, nor my guests... Dishes are very flavorful and generous and the menu offers great variety. Service is well timed, not intrusive and very accommodating. Very nice ambience, elegant without being pretentious."

"Tutti Santi is a rare gem. The Italian cuisine is unique & delicious. Tutti Santi offers a grilled Calamari salad. The flavors of the very tender, grilled Calamari, on top of arugula, covered in lemon juice + extra virgin olive oil, were brilliant! We enjoyed some of the best Pasta I've ever tasted in the AZ area. I had an exquisite Pasta a la Vongole with generous numbers of fresh clams. My guests enjoyed a tasty Papparadelle e Gamberti with grilled shrimp, asparagus, & cherry tomato in an olive oil/garlic sauce combined with a tomato sauce & parmasagne, along with a Tortellini stuffed with Sausage in a Gorgonzola/Cream/Parmasagne sauce. The desserts were impressive too! Complex flavors from fresh, simple, well executed ingredients!"

"I hate being rude or complaining. I am the persone that will bring a manager to the table to tell them how much I love the restaurant or server. I loved the place when walked in. Great Ambiance. Service was a bit slow at first, but ended well. The food, unfortunately, left something to be desired. Nothing that we had was what I would consider "great" or "good", especially at this price point. Some of it was not even edible. I will not go back to this restaurant."

"Took the "mothers" out for Mother's Day dinner. Great service - - seated immediately, bread/water put on the table, servers were great (pouring the wine, removing used plates, replacing utensils, etc.) Food was good."

"The food was very good on average. My wife's pasta vesuviania was very rich and my chicken parmesan was average. The salad was a little below par for us. In an Italian restaurant we expected a nice Caesar salad The bread was delicious. We like your house wine. The wait staff were very friendly and attentive. We probably eat there once a year. We realize how tough the competition is. The two people we were dining with had no complaints."

"Hadn't been there in a while and noticed a big decline in the quality of service. Our bill was $260 for 4 people but we received Olive Garden service . First off, the hostess seated the 4 of us at a small table where we couldn't even fit the 2 starters in the middle to share. There were bigger booth tables vacant for the entire time we were there.????????? The waiter didn't offer the specials available, we had to ask , he left used plates on the table that we had to stack up and leave on the corner, he also left a plié of menus on the floor that he didn't take from us. The food was good as usual but please be careful, so many restaurants have come and gone in this area, we love this place, just keep up a high standard."

"The restaurant wasnt very busy, but the service was less than stellar. Waiter forgot our soups and salads, and then brought out the incorrect numbers of each for our table. The chicken caprese was underseasoned, and the veal canneloni tasted like it was made the day before. The Manhatten clam chowder was a watery broth with little favor. We have been frequenting this restaurant since it first opened, and have never had a bad meal/ service until this visit. Hopefully, it was just a bad night."

"Perhaps the best Italian dining experience we have had in the valley. Tutti Santi by Nina in Glendale will become one of our regular places to eat!"

"A friend introduced us to Tutti Santi several years ago, and we always choose it for special occasions. We are retired and live nearby in Sun City. We are confident that the food will be good and the service is always excellent, so entertaining friends and/or family from the Midwest makes it a good choice for us. Local friends know the reputation of the restaurant as well and happily accept invitations from us to go there."

"The house made pasta was a hit! I had the pasta trio and could not decide which was better, the Gorgonzola gnocchi, the walnut tortellini, or the cheese stuffed ravioli. We started with the bruschetta which was also delicious. The olives on the side were a nice touch. We finished with a complimentary Sambucca con mosca which was a nice surprise."

"Waiter did not tell us the specials until asked and kept filling the wine glasses to the brim each time we took a sip. My shrimp dish was not good. The shrimp were very fishy. Overall we were not impressed, especially given the prices of our meals."

"Normally love this place but the service was terrible this time. Been coming for 5 years and it's been exceptional every time... till tonight. The food was good, when it finally came. (An hour or more after we ordered it)"

"Had a very nice evening with my family had calamari sauteed in red sauce and fried calamari both were excellent. Also we had champagne that was very good the only criticism is the waiter had to be told to put the champagne on ice, the bread and salad was delicious as well as the main meals we had the eggplant parmigiana, and the two other family members had the spaghetti bolognese with sausage they tried getting meatballs but were told they don't carry meatballs we thought an Italian restaurant and no meatballs but we were just having fun with the waiter. We have frequented Tutti Santi in Kierland for many years with no complaints ever even having Christmas Eve dinners for a few years there and we frequent the newest one on Via Linda often."

"I had dined here several times before and was anxious to show it off; it fell short. While the food was good, it was veeerrrry slow in coming. A menu item we ordered was not available, but we were not told that until long after we ordered. In fairness, the waiter brought another dish to "make up" for the one that was out, and later comped a dessert. The dining room would have triple the ambience if they'd turn off the television over the bar. I'll go back for the food -- but if service and atmosphere aren't better next time, it will be my last visit."

"The atmosphere is warm and inviting and very conducive to conversation. We ordered the specials of the evening and they were outstanding. We had out of town guests with us and they were going to share their experience to friends that would be visiting the valley."

"Over on the West side of town, there are few nice restaurants to choose from - Tutti Santi's is one of those. I always enjoy my meals there, the service is always excellent, and the ambiance is relaxing."

"We had a reservation for 6pm . This was going to be our special oocasion since Valentines day was on Tuesday. We were greeted and promptly seated. Our waiter came over quickly and took our drink order, Then returned and took our food order. The bread and Salad were brought within a reasonable time. Then everthing stopped. We sat for over an hour waiting for our entree's, The waiter came by a couple of times with words of encouragement , Telling us our food would be right out, But that was not the case, Finally after severeal patrons that were seated well after us had finished their meals our food came out. This is a neiborhood restaurant I had hoped would survive, However it will have to be without my patronage."
