Our Guestbook
“ Many of us have had Saint Pasta when they had a food truck and fell in love with their delicious food then, but now they have a brick & mortar which means more Pasta & Sauce for everyone! The restaurant is in a beautiful area downtown near Rosevelt in walking distance to a bunch of bars & shops. I suggest arriving early on weekends as there may be a wait for the amazing food! We started with the Caesar salad which had a little kick to it, which we both loved, and topped with house-made breadcrumbs. For mains we ordered a few pastas and paired them with the Vodka Parm. I have had a lot of different Parm dishes and this was one of the best that I have had. The chicken was cooked perfectly and had so much flavor along with the vodka sauce that was unreal. I suggest adding the ricotta on top of your pasta, it was delicious ricotta. I can’t wait to go back and try the rest of their dishes. ”
“ I never thought I’d walk into a Jersey-style Italian restaurant in Phoenix. From the second I stepped in, I knew this place was legit. The smell alone, the ambiance, a perfect mix of classy and “this is where the family settles disputes over a plate of rigatoni.” Now, the food—amazing. The chicken parm? Crisped to perfection, like it had a personal vendetta against sogginess. The pasta? Al dente, the way God intended. And the sauce—bro, the sauce. If I could bottle it up and wear it as cologne, I would. And don’t even get me started on the service. The waiter had that perfect balance of warmth and slight intimidation, like he knew a guy who knew a guy but also genuinely wanted me to have a good meal. By the end, I wasn’t just full—I was spiritually satisfied. If you’re in Phoenix and craving real Italian food with that unmistakable Jersey charm, this is the spot. 10/10. Would return and would bring my loudest cousins. ”
“ 10/10 love the vibes, service was amazing, food was incredible. Would definitely give an extra star just based on the sopranos playing on the projector if I had the option. My boyfriend and I are huge sopranos fans. Would potentially give two extra stars depending on saint pasta’s stance on the sopranos ending ”
“ This is my new favorite restaurant. The food fresh and flavorful and is even better than the Italian food I’ve had in Boston’s North End (which is famous for Italian food). The staff are friendly and professional. I love the ambiance as well. Open kitchen, cool art, mafia movies on a projector, great patio, and the best part is the owner who personally greets guests at the door or their table. The owner is young to have achieved this and has clearly put his heart and soul into building not just a restaurant but a community. Every aspect of Saint Pasta has been carefully and thoughtfully crafted. If you’re considering checking this place out, do it. You won’t be disappointed ”
“ This was my second time at Saint Pasta, and I only have great things to say. The food was absolutely incredible! We had the Chicken Parmesan, Caesar Salad, Pesto Gnocchi, and Rigatoni Vodka Pasta—every dish was packed with flavor. The Chicken Parmesan, in particular, was the best I’ve ever had. I highly recommend everything we ordered! The owner is amazing—someone who truly loves food and takes pride in every dish. You can tell everything is made with care and precision. The staff was equally fantastic—warm, welcoming, and always smiling. The entire experience was an absolute delight! ”
“ Exceeded my expectations! I can’t remember the last time I’ve had a chicken Parmesan, Caesar salad and rigatoni vodka pasta that was this delicious. Also, before I came, I read a review about the portion size being small - they are not small - I had enough leftovers for my husband and myself for lunch. The ambiance is intimate and moody in the best way. I love this restaurant, and I’ll be back for sure! ”
“ I go here every month for the best pasta in the valley. The vibes are great. Get in, enjoy pasta, head out. Owner's vibes and attitude are immaculate. Always appreciate the bike racks right outside and their accommodations with my folding bike. ”
“ Highly recommend this establishment! The location is great, the service was friendly, and the ambiance fun. My husband and I ordered the spaghetti pomodoro and the vodka rigatoni each with breaded chicken cutlets and ricotta. Both were AMAZING! The chicken was thin, juicy, and cooked to perfection with a delicious breaded crunch. Our pastas portions were so perfect, we both cleaned our plates! We couldn’t decide which pasta sauce was better. They were equally superb! Their Stracciatella Cheesecake dessert was HEAVEN! We are definitely coming back! ”
