Very unassuming from the outside, Tutti Santi is a welcome respite from the heat that bears down in the summer months in Arizona.
Their menu includes both cold and hot appetizers, many pasta dishes, and dishes with seafood or meat. For a hot appetizer, their homemade gnocchi ($10.95, potato dumplings served with a bit of cream and topped with your choice of sauce) is a tasty appetizer to begin your meal.
For a filling main course, Tutti Santi delivers a creamy Rigatoni Pipitone ($14.95) to satisfy one's pasta craving.

At the end of the meal, you are given a complimentary shot of Sambuca liquor complete with three coffee beans (common serving style of Sambuca shot in Italy). Sambuca tends to have a black licorice taste. This complimentary shot is good for any fan of the black licorice taste indeed.
