    A quiet and enjoyable place to dine. Food was very good although the special, Branzino was a small portion. Waitress and chef were attentive to food allergies. Dark Chocolate Creme Brûlée was amazing! Wine was exceptional as well.

    Dinner for two did not disappoint. The Santos Old Fashioned was very nice. In terms of food, some dishes were preferred over others, but overall the food was great. The Whipped Feta and Napa and Brussels appetizers were particularly tasty. The service was fantastic - Lindsay (sp?) was engaging and there when you needed him, but at the same time never intrusive.

    Took our neighbors that had never been. One had some food allergies and was able to order several things off the menu. Staff was attentive but not interfering. Food was exquisite and delicious. Brett was a breath of fresh air at the front door. Very grateful that Santo was so supportive of dining out for life.

    Really delicious meal! All the apps were great— get the hummus and the whipped feta. I think for mains the portions were on the smaller size but we will be back. One of the better meals we have had in Nashville in a while!

    We did a last minute switch to SANTO, and I am so happy we did. The service, food, and ambiance for my mom’s birthday lunch was outstanding. I’m surprised more people don’t talk about this restaurant because all 6 of us enjoyed our meals, it’s tucked away from all the tourists, and the waiter was fantastic.. but I would 100% recommend this spot to anyone. Delicious flavors that lean towards Mediterranean — well priced and the spot is so beautiful. FYI: they were able to accommodate my 8 month old in his stroller and my three year old niece with juice and she loved the fries. PS: best spicy margarita I’ve had.

    Outstanding food and drinks. Some of the best food I have had in a while (whipped feta, Brussel sprouts, branzino). All of the food was perfectly executed. The only thing worth mentioning, not a complaint, just to note, the plates/portions are very small though. The entree branzino fish was quite small, but again, every bite was perfect.

    We invited our foodie friends from Delaware to join us for dinner and it was absolutely wonderful. The whipped feta app was delicious (next time I'm not going to share...), beef tare tare and zucchini Flatbread were as well. Chuck and I had the Moroccan chicken (Great and I'll order that again), Peter loved his lamb burger and David scarfed down the Branzino. Our server was lovely and we always love seeing Brett. Thank you, Santo, for impressing our guests and continuing to provide consistent excellence in dining.

    Very pleasant surprise for a late Saturday brunch. We had the hummus and the roasted beet apps and they were excellent. The sandwiches were nice and the cocktails were delicious. Not sure why they weren't busier, but all the better for us since we got lots of attention from the waitstaff. A hidden gem!

    The restaurant has a very nice, modern, clean design. The food was excellent! The portions aren’t very large, so definitely get couple of the delicious appetizers. We had the whipped feta and the hummus and really enjoyed both. There were 3 different entrees ordered at our table, the beef kabobs, bucatini pasta, and the grilled branzino. All of us enjoyed our meals immensely. I had the branzino and it was so tasty, absolutely delicious. To top things off, the owner was so gracious and kind to escort us through the kitchen on our way out so we didn’t have to get soaked from the rainstorm! It was a great dining experience and we look forward to returning soon.

    Great first experience at Santo. Fresh flavors, great cocktails and everything felt light. We had the beef tartare and whipped feta for starters and would recommend both. Also enjoyed the beef bucatini pasta and mussels. The only thing is it’s a little tucked away and hard to find so give yourself a couple extra minutes.

    We arrived to our reservation with a group of five and were sat immediately. The server (I do not remember his name) was quick and prompt. He gave us recommendations and talked about every dish before we decided what to get. Everything was delicious and a perfect portion. The restaurant was clean and quiet - something I look for. I will definitely be back!

    In Nashville for the weekend and was given a recommendation for Santo. The experience was fantastic. We enjoyed the Winter Margarita, small plates including baked oysters, zucchini flatbread, and beet salad and then shared the beef tenderloin sandwich. Everything g was delicious, the service was top notch and the atmosphere was perfect. Recommend with enthusiastic two thumbs up!
