Lunch on a rainy Monday. The lamb merguez was stellar - medium rare, delicious feta harissa smear. The harissa shrimp was sublime - 4 fat, juicy, mouth-watering shrimp, divine. My daughter had the flatbread and Loved it! Fresh, warm bread, slivered ribbons of well-dressed zucchini. We shared the garlic 'fries' - scoops of airy fried potato scoops, a la Fritos in shape, perfect for dipping. Cannot wait to return. As always, I am the worst with names, but our server was Excellent!

Great location in the heart of Green Hills. The food was fantastic and highly recommend if you enjoy Mediterranean dishes. The cocktails were delicious as well. Service was great as well!
Patrick

Staff was awesome! Food was really tasty. Epice is a better value, but Santo feels like a secret gym.
Donna
Service and food are excellent. The most tasty and fresh selections from appetizers to entrees. Beverage menu is affordable and diverse. Love Brett and Rob.

This place is great! The vibe is chic but chill, and thankfully there's not loud music blasting and you can actually converse with your friends and the server. Our server was lovely! Attentive when she needed to be and great with recommendations. I wish I'd taken some photos! We got the whipped feta and eggplant as starters. Their whipped feta is my not favorite of those on offer in Nashville, but the eggplant was good and their crudités are actually very high quality. The pesto bucatini was outstanding, I was honestly shook. The dark chocolate creme brûlée was also delightful. I had an aviation, it was beautiful, tasty, tart. My standout drink was the Paloma - but spicy, w a tajin rim - suggested by our sever. Also, an entree of salad and fries is just innovative and iconic. I will definitely put this place on rotation.

First time coming and brought my mom for Mother's Day, seemed like a slower day for them. Nevertheless, service was impeccable all the way through by Hannah even though they were near closing the kitchen continue to put out food promptly and beautifully and service did not falter. We had a couple of glasses of wine, a cocktail and a mocktail. All reasonably priced and well made. On the small plates we had the lamb kebab, chickpea fries and Portuguese sardines. ALL were incredible and would highly recommend. On the other hand the mains left us wanting more. The steak frites had an awesome char to it but left me wanting more chimichurri. I would not recommend getting the zucchini spaghetti personally felt like too many clashing textures and tastes. The lamb loin chop was good but the highlight of the dish really is the puree, however, having had the lamb kebab before that one is just simply better. Lastly for dessert we had the dark chocolate creme brûlée that was to die for!

Brett and all staff there are absolutely fantastic and represent the best of the industry! I am going back for dinner and lunch and know it is going to be amazing!
We had such a great dinner and will definitely be back. All of the food was exceptional. We got the whipped feta, tuna crudo, lamb, and the bucatini with chicken. Everything was cooked to perfection and super yummy. Our server, Brett, was so delightful and made the experience that much better.

Sitting outside on the balcony overlooking Hillsboro Rd was actually pretty pleasant. Then again it was a calm evening, lovely temps, and the crowd was minimal. Food was good, interesting, healthy....but pretty expensive.

We tried several dishes from the lunch menu and enjoyed them all. Service with quick and friendly. All in all, Santo is a lovely little restaurant with great food!

Every thing we ate was so tasty. And interesting. These were well designed dishes that were not prepared in the usual way yet the creativity was kept in bounds and these weren't some peculiar food odyssey. I would go back again tomorrow. And may.

10/10 this place delivers great service and amazing food! Best old fashioned I’ve had in Nashville and the pork chop is so tasty!
