Santo - typisch dominikanisch - Vienna

I am Dominican so it was a really nice surprise to learn about this place. The menu is pretty limited, but that I think is natural in a location (country/ town) where the knowledge for the cuisine is likely to be very limited as is the demand. What they do have, tastes good and authentically Dominican. I asked about some dishes (such as sancocho, quipes and mofongos) which although are not on the menu, I could call in advance for (ie when coming with a bigger party since these meals, especially the sancocho, is labor intensive). That was really nice to know.I think there would be many smaller items that could easily be included in the menu (such as empanadas and actually fresh made juices--we have so many that are easy to make, like lime juice and morrir soñando ) and would be very enjoyable to anyone visiting the restaurant, as well as making the menu more attractive. Overall, nice to have this restaurant as an option to visit and explore another Latino cuisine. I recommend it.Note: the beer (Presidente--the traditional Dominican beer) is very expensive, but it is imported which makes the price more understandable.

This review has nothing to with the food, and everything to do with the service. I have been here twice, and each time I was RIPPED OFF. Over-charging on the bill seems to be a common problem - after my first visit, I gave Santo's the benefit of the doubt and thought that the overcharge was just an accident (after all, we were a party of 9). I recommended the restaurant to a friend, who later complained that they overcharged him. I recently went back in a party of 3, and a cost of 40 Euro ballooned to 55 Euro when the server brought the bill.The food is fine; authentic Dominican but nothing special. But the people running Santo's are crooks, and make a habit of trying to rob their customers. No wonder it was empty both times I was there.
