What an absolute GEM! The menu was well thought out, we loved our dishes. The service was laid back but attentive. The wine list is a wine lovers dream The ambiance is modern chic.

Upon walking into this restaurant, there was an upscale but young vibe. The floor to ceiling glass in the front brings in so much natural light that makes it such a bright and beautiful atmosphere. There is outdoor seating, which is a nice option. There are tables away from the natural light so that there can be some more privacy for a more intimate meal, if desired. The food was impeccable with a well thought out menu, including options for all “palates”. (See what I did there?) The servers know the daily specials very well, are just the right amount of attentive, and are quick to recommend wine pairings with your order. Every item ordered by our party was raved about. I was trying to be healthy and ordered the Pollo (Chicken), which was savory, juicy, and perfectly seasoned. Other members of my party were particularly fond of the eggplant appetizer, although I didn’t try it personally. Portions were a decent size, which was a nice surpise! I have two negative comments. First, is that one person had a piece of plastic in their cannoli. He didn’t want to make a big deal about it, so I am not even sure if he told anyone about it. To be fair, the actual cannoli was good enough that he ate another one even after the plastic incident. Second, the bartender did not seem well-versed in cocktails that were not on their menu. These were both minor items to us, but I would be remiss if I didn’t mention them.

Great restaurant. Fish was perfectly cooked and tested amazing. Linguini had a nice bite and very delicate flavorful sauce. Service was very pleasant. Owner was there checking on service and customers-nice guy. In the old Remy restaurant , space has been redone and wonderful. Highly recommend. Will definitely go back again.

We had an amazing time at Il Palato tonight. From the eggplant appetizer to the mista salad and pizza, our meal was absolutely perfect. The staff was attentive and Alan was a star! Great atmosphere too. I highly recommend!

We’re surprised to see the poor reviews. The decor is beautiful and classy. Our service and dinner was perfect. The bread, salads, and entrees were delicious. I had orecchiette with clams, shrimp, and scallops; and my husband had scallops over risotto. We will definitely be back.

Rare to go to a place open only 2 weeks. Food was very good. The game hen was very tasty and juicy and plenty of sides. The scallops were perfectly cooked but do require a side as not much else with it. A decent number of choices for wine by the glass. Service could be a bit better (side dish didn’t come immediately with the entree, pepper didn’t come with the salad) but will assume that is due to being new.

The ambience can’t be beat! The staff is exceedingly accommodating and they make you feel so welcome. The eggplant is out of this world good and I also highly recommend the heirloom tomato salad when in season. My boyfriend loved the carmelized onions on the pizza! Jack and Alan took such good care of us. We keep coming back to try something new every time.

Came here after my graduation for dinner and had a wonderful time! We arrived about 20 minutes earlier than expected, but when we asked if it was possible to be seated ahead of schedule, the man stationed by the host desk (who I believe was the manager) easily agreed. The whole dining experience, we were treated with a warmth and professionalism I’ve rarely seen anywhere else, especially as a black family in the greater St. Louis area (which tends to be known for its racial disparity). The food was AMAZING (definitely try out the fried cauliflower!), and our waiter helped us select a bottle of wine best suited for our celebration and our main courses. I can not recommend this place enough, and though I am leaving St. Louis post-grad, I’ll definitely stop by if I’m in town again. 10/10!
