We enjoyed the best marguerita we recall having anywhere. The food was delicious…the appetizers are creative and really tasty. The pork chop was great and beautifully presented. The salmon steak was cooked perfectly moist with a very flavorful broth and roasted veggies. Our bartender/server was personable and knowledgeable. He recommended dessert of French fried ice cream which sounded absurd but yes, that was really good too! We will return for dinner again soon!

All dishes were incredible but my wife is vegetarian and wish there was a set item on menu for her to pick from mains and not an improvised quesadilla .

Santo Arcadia offers an elevated fine dining experience that’s truly a cut above the rest. From the warm welcome at the door to our server’s impressive knowledge of the menu, every detail was thoughtfully executed. The presentation and quality of the food exceeded my expectations—I was beyond impressed. Phoenix has no shortage of amazing dining spots, but Santo stands out, thanks to its well-established owner who’s behind some of the Valley’s top-tier restaurants. The excellence here is no surprise, and it shows in every bite. Suppose you’re wondering whether you should give it a try—absolutely! Whether it’s a romantic date night, a special celebration, or simply an evening to treat yourself to an exceptional meal, Santo is worth every penny. And if you're dining solo, their inviting bar offers ample seating, craft cocktails, and full access to the menu—perfect for a relaxed and enjoyable experience. Trust me, you won’t be disappointed!

EVERYTHING was spicy. And way too much flavor. So hot I could barely eat the ceviche and we sent back the queso. A warning on the spice level would have been nice. And the wait time for the main course was extremely long for how slow the restaurant appeared to be. Then the bill came to top it off...
