Calixto Bistro Café is praised for its cozy atmosphere and beautiful garden setting, making it a refuge from the sun.

Despite these criticisms, many still recommend it for its ambiance and potential for a great dining experience.
"A perfect refuge from the Santos sun! Great renovation works at the garden behind Calixto, offer a nice garden. Jazz music and has WiFi. Like any open space (except the windy beach) in Santos, repellent or trousers are needed to keep mosquitoes away."

"Perfect experience eating wonderful food and breath an special atmosphere"
Reinaldo Teodoro
"Good atmosphere, good nice relax music in the background. I ordered risotto with chicken, the taste was good but not superb. If you are looking for a nice place to relax, read or work from your laptop this is the place."
