"I cannot review Tutti Santi for lunch because the restaurant in Phoenix has new hours posted on the door but not on their website and they do not open for lunch. This was awkward because I was allowed to make a reservation, which was confirmed and for which I received a reminder. Thus, I was rather embarrassed when my lunch appointment arrived before me and had to text me that they were no longer open for lunch. Since we had considered Aunt Chilada's, they received our business that day."

"The first time we went to this restaurant the wait staff was great! They are interactive with you, they are knowledgeable about the food and they make the overall dining experience one that you want to repeat! It does not matter if your favorite waiter is there or not everyone is great! Want to add fun to good food and ambiance this is the place!"

"Maybe recommend it depending on who is going. The Saturday night we went, the noise level was extremely high. They had a magician that went around to various tables, who would introduce himself and then put on a little show. Before long, the table would be in stitches and laughing at everything. Now, that may be fine for some, but we were there to try and have a conversation with some old friends, and couldn't get done with dinner fast enough. Dinner is dinner, and this distraction ruined the dining experience. The food was ok. I had the specialty of the house which was the home made raviolis, and they were excellent. The others in our party had other dishes but there were no raves among them. overall....give it 3 out of 5"

"We were pleasantly surprised by Tutti Santi, in fact blown away. The host and head waiter saw to our every need and immediately understood we wanted to do it Italian, not Italian American style with everything arriving at once. We asked for and received a slow food experience. The ravioli were better than promised, and the other dishes were nearly as good. They even did salad last and one of the waiters even sang for the birthday girl that accompanied us. This was among our most memorable evenings in an Italian restaurant in America and the staff was exceptional. Even the espresso was perfect, sweet, syrupy, and delicious. Complimenti Ragazzi."

The Service is welcoming, and the food is great. Due to it's proximity to the Hilton Squaw Peak hotel, it is a good idea to make reservations. While you can eat at the bar.... there is only room for 10 people max."

"It had been at least a decade since we last ate and this restaurant and it is still terrific. I am always impressed when a restaurant has the same waitstaff for long periods of time--that says to me that management treats their staff fairly and with respect. We were pleasantly surprised to be waited on by the same person who had often waited on us years ago and, when we told him so, he happily joined us in a toast to our return to the restaurant as patrons. We also saw several other members of the staff that we remembered from years back."

"This restaurant has everything to offer in amibiance (simple and still elegant), great authentic food choices and specials. The staff have all been around for a long time and give good service. Anytime and any occasion's expectations would be met at this restaurant location.There are other Tutti Santi choices, but do not measure up to this one."

"Tutti is my absolute favorite place for our date nights. The food is consistently fantastic, and the service is remarkable. The entire staff is friendly and giving of their time. The length of the meal is paced perfectly. Our drinks are always perfect, and the wine selection is awesome. We've also hosted our son's graduation party at Tutti, and everyone LOVED the service and food."

"Usually we love this place but it might have been an off night. The cream of asparagus soup was so spicy that it was in edible. The penne pasta del casa was not quite as hot but required a lot of water to wash it down. The veal with capers in wine sauce was much better though. Service was rushed and we didn't see much of our waiter. Not up to their usual standard unfortunately ."

"Went to this highly recommended place. The waiter seemed upset that we didn't want to order as soon as we sat down. Our wine was very good, and there were interesting items on the menu. However, the waiter did not follow our requests for salad dressing on the side, and pretty much blamed us for his mistake. The food was good, but nothing special. We may return if in the neighborhood, but would not drive any distance to eat there. All in all, very disappointing."

"I have been going to Tutti Santi for years however, Valentines Day was a mess. There were several people in line for the 7 o'clock reservation, which took over 20 minutes to even get to the hostess. Everything was rushed and the atmosphere was tense. We felt we were in a cafeteria, the waiter was short tempered but you could see why, the whole place was on edge. we had the impression they were trying to make the most of Valentines Day for themselves and were way over booked and over worked or understaffed. Not a good experience."

"We had dinner reservations for 7:15 but when we arrived at 7:10 there was a line to the door with other patrons with reservations. It was Valentine's Day so crowds are to be expected. We were seated in about 30 minutes after arrival. The food was great and Nina's special Ravioli was well worth the wait. Would definitely return."

"Mid-level Italian food. Reasonably priced. Long line and wait at the door even though many tables were empty (that was a big problem). Patio was covered in plastic to keep it warm but very unattractive. Service was good and relatively attentive. Food seemed boring and unimaginative, and while it tasted fine it felt like it should have been better -- nothing memorable about it. I don't picture us going back (more and better options in the area) but it's really not a bad place -- just not that great, either."

"Linguine with fresh clams was very salty. Garlic bread did not have a good crust. Caprese had little to no basil and did not come with crustini. Shrimp as cold in the middle. Service was below average"

"We love the relaxed feel of this place - a good size and the welcoming atmosphere – like a comfortable dining room. We definitely returned to try more dishes (2 times) in one week. The sea food pasta and the pasta with shrimp were excellent. (My Brother-in-law stated that it ranked as one of the best he had eaten and compared it to Moma Teresa's in Ottawa.) The sambuca finish was was great. Service was well-timed and friendly and Trace, our waiter, was helpful, entertaining, humorous and attentive. The wines were affordable although emphasized Italian wines a lot."
