"We would definitely go back to this restaurant! Four of us had absolutely delicious dinners there on Mother's Day evening. We all ordered different entrees and all were incredible -- I can't imagine you could go wrong with whatever you selected. We started with the stuffed mushrooms and calamari -- absolutely fantastic! Our service was outstanding -- Giuseppe was perfectly attentive, professional and charming!"

"I will keep this short--we have been coming to Tutti Santi from the time they opened. We (4 seniors) thought the waitress was wonderful and made the evening. We also thought the prices were too high and will have to cut down on our visits due to the high cost now associated with Tutti Santi. Plan on at least a 2 hour dinner (European style) ours took 2.5 hours. The food was good but not commensurate with the price, in my opinion. If money is no object then you will have a nice meal with good service. My wife was more critical and she has rented the restaurant for special occasions over the years."

"Not very busy, but service was slow (maybe the waiter would consider it leisurely). Lingune con vongole, my acid test for any Italian restaurant, was average. If there's one thing it has to have, for me anyway, it's garlic. Couldn't tell if there was any in it. Bland. Been to Tutti Santi in Phoenix, much better all around experience."

"Our experience started rough but got better as it went. The restaurant, on a Saturday evening, was full and the acoustics meant that it was noisy with people just talking over dinner. The bread that was served was pathetic as it was tasteless and dry. My wife ordered salad while I got the soup which I was ok with but my wife said the soup lacked depth of flavor and her salad was "not worth eating."
Our entree's were very good. I had Veal and the wife had the shrimp dish which we enjoyed. The chocolate ice cream dessert was excellent. Our waiter was not very attentive and repeatedly forgot things, but the place was very busy so that was forgivable. Overall, it was a "good" experience, but we will not return."

"I chose to have dinner at the bar. Service was attentive. I had a delicious caesar salad with a piece of grilled salmon on top; the salmon was moist and tasty. Sliced Italian white bread along with olive oil and parmesian cheese were provided along with my glass of house merlot. It was an enjoyable meal."

"We had been to this place while we were engaged, and decided to come back for our 4th wedding anniversary. It was an delicious as I remember, and I think I even ordered the same thing! Love the Sambuca shot tradition after dinner - service was great, and we just love the ambience at Tutti Santi. Definitely will keep it in our rotation and not just for special occasions!"

"Finding a great Italian restaurant in Arizona is not easy. Tutti Santi is one of the few that could easily be tops on the East Coast. We have never had a bad meal here and the service is always very attentive.
They recently changed the menus and 2 of our favorites are gone. We asked the server and the chef said no problem making them! I had the special lamb shank and it was superb.
This is the place I always recommend to friends if they are looking for top Italian food."

"We were generally under-impressed, starting with the wine list where Germany was described as a "new-world country"! Service was somewhat patronizing. The food was good in parts. It was not excessively noisy. We have no plans to return."

"Don't let shopping center location fool you. Outstanding Veal dishes with excellent authentic Preparations. Pasta not overlooked nor over sauced. Wait staff friendly and knowledgable."

"This is our favorite restaurant in Scottsdale. We visit every time we are in town. The location does not do it justice, so do not be taken aback when you find it it in a strip mall!
Great food, interesting servers, excellent service. Don't forget to try the chocolate tort as you are finishing your bottle of red!"

"The service was horrible. After waiting 30 minutes my husband went to the bar to find someone to wait on us. The food is very good if you are willing to put up with an indifferent wait staff, and a crowded noisy room. We could not hear the conversation at our own table. We were entertaining out of town guests and would have left had it been just the two of us. We will not return."

"Our second visit, and just as tasty as we remembered. Prices are good, wine list is inclusive and large enough to offer good choices. The menu is not your typical standard selections, and everything we had was very good."

"Restaurant tried to call us to explain that Open Table system was not functioning properly, and there was no reservation available at the time we had been told. We arrived at the designated time, and owner explained the mix-up. Owner told us not to worry, she would make it work..and she did! Her accommodating manner was outstanding and truly appreciated. Meal itself was great; my wife raved about the ravioli ....something she never does. Highly recommend for service and quality of food."

"We always go to this restaurant in Scottsdale near our hotel . It has a friendly family like atmosphere. Our food was outstanding as always and the service is friendly and efficient. The wine list has an extensive number of Italian wines by the bottle and some by the glass. Usually Nina greets everyone in the restaurant, but she wasn't present the Sunday we dined."

"We all thought it was a good value for the entire experience. Reasonable prices, experienced servers and many of the pastas are home made and excellent. Listen to your waiter and go with his/her suggestions."

"Tutti Santi serves the best Italian food anywhere. We have been to this restaurant multiple times when we visit Phoenix/Scottsdale. You will not get better ravioli, gnocchi or veal marsala anywhere (hope my Italian grandmother does not read this). The service is prompt and usually you get a shot of sambucca after eating. If you are in the mood for traditional, home made Italian food, this is the place to go."

"I always look at the reviews and ratings before booking and this place had a 4.4 out of 5 for the food. I don't know how, the food was wretched. The menu was 1950 style done poorly. Do yourself a favor and go somewhere else. Also at 63 years old we were by far the youngest patrons in the house."

"As usual, food & service were great. Only hiccup was that although I had made the reservation over a week ahead of time, I was called less than an hour before we were to arrive and told my booth request (where we had requested and sat in many times before) could not be honored. Since we were meeting family that had flown in the day before, I had provided directions to them and didn't feel I could change things in time. In fairness, we were given a choice of several perfectly nice tables and the experience turned out to be fine. I would suggest they call or notify earlier when special requests cannot be honored."

"Our 2nd dinner at Tutti Santi on a 6 night winter warm up in Scottsdale! The food is outstanding! Salads perfectly dressed and entrees delicious and perfect. I enjoyed the spaghetti with smoked salmon and asparagus. My husband had Zuppa Di Pesce with a spicy red sauce. He orders this at many fine Italian restaurants and commented that it was the best he has had! Service was outstanding. Our server, Krasimir was attentive and helpful. The hostess, Ashley made sure we straightened out our Open Table Reservation mistakes of booking at their other locations,TWICE. She was kind and went out of her way to serve us! We will be sure to return to Tutti Santi every time we visit warm sunny Phonix."

"The restaurant was very busy, which is a good thing. However, the service was slow. Perhaps the chef could decrease the amount of salt used, including in the bread. The result would be healthier food for the customer."

"The food was very good and the service was as well. My only criticism was that they don't keep their bottled red wine in a wine cooler and it's warm when served at the table. A warm bottle of wine is a real damper on the otherwise good food."

"Food was excellent. We started with home Ravioli and it was superb. Light and airy! My husband had spaghetti diablo with Mussels and calamari. I had a seafood pasta with shrimp and mussels in a vodka red sauce. Both excellent dishes. The salad was small in size but perfectly dressed. Service was slightly below good. It was efficient but we never saw Gilna after receiving our food. My water glass was empty for a long time. It was difficult to find someone to even ask for it to be refilled."
