A neon sign behind the open kitchen reads "Al Dente or Die," which tells you most of what you need to know about this downtown Phoenix pasta joint. Frank Ocean plays where Sinatra might, and "The Sopranos" loops on the wall behind the bar. The vodka sauce built a cult following when the place was a food truck, and the no-reservations line outside suggests that reputation held. Craft cocktails and low-intervention wines round things out.

Chicken parm
“When it is paired with one of Saint Pasta’s chicken parms, it’s downright sinful.”
Phoenix New Times -
Caesar salad
“Saint Pasta makes arguably the best Caesar salad in town from humble iceberg, peppery arugula, a creamy dressing and a generous dusting of a garlicky breadcrumb crumble.”
