- SFSean FlynnNov 14, 20251.0I ordered a to go chicken risotto and it has to one of the worst risotto dishes I have had lacking all complex flavors. The rice was a little crunchy and it had a red sauce on it. The chicken was really bland. I order risotto from all over the neighborhood this is probably the worst in "The Hill" area. Perhaps other things are good but extremely dissapointing on a Friday night. They also charge more than the other restaurants nearby so I had high expectations. Im gonna throw it away and get trattoria Marcella.
- MTMa'am TayouNov 14, 20255.0Mark Williams is a great addition to this establishment the staff all appear happy and well supported.
- BCBeverly CobbNov 8, 20253.0We had lunch there yesterday (Friday). Service was slow but friendly. Had Veal Parm that tasted good but was super chewy & tough. My fellow diners had cannelloni and rigatoni. We also had cannolis for dessert. *We will be back for sure - no worries. Just will not order veal again!*.
- COC OwensNov 4, 20253.0The layout of the restaurant was very warm and inviting. The seats were comfortable, even after a long Saturday run. *Bonus: clean bathroom!!!! Food: The calamari was just right texture wise, flavor lacking but the sauce was great. A solid 3.5/ 5 My eggplant parmesan was very tasty and flavorful, the pasta it came with was very bland and that was disappointing with an Italian restaurant. But overall 3/5. I also tried the cannoli and presentation 5/5, but taste was where I was disappointed 2.5/5, it was just ok nothing to right home about and I was sad about the unsatisfactory in the calories consumed. But all is well in that regard. Overall experience was not bad. When I entered the restaurant I was over 20 mins early and was seat immediately regardless, which was great. The waiter was pleasant, but it was my first visit and I nearly felt rushed to order being asked my order immediately upon sitting down. Regarding pauses and asking if someone has been there before could go a long way. Final take I would possibly visit again, maybe or maybe not; the Italian restaurant market here is solid enough that not returning would not mean anything. But If I did I would have to order a totally different meal mid and and mediocre is the same and since I can cook very well, especially Italian food....when I eat it out I want it to be above a 3 or 3.5 honestly.
- JNJim NoackOct 25, 20255.0I've only ordered pizza here. In my humble opinion they have the best pizza in St Louis. You might pay a little more, but it's well worth it.
