Our dinner experience here was nothing but top notch. Although located in Kirkwood, the excellent food and superior table service reminded us how much we enjoy eating in similar Italian style restaurants that you might find on “The Hill”. You’ll want to be prepared for the finer dining experience – but it’s certainly worth it.

New Years Eve Dinner. Everything was perfect. The Sicilian scallops were excellent and the risotto under them also or better than excellent. Salads well executed. Caesar dressing was notable. The veal chop probably was the best steak out I’ve ever had – simply otherworldly. Vitello also quite good. Service was excellent without being overbearing. Our waiter was Nori. He was very knowledgeable with helpful suggestions on both food and wine. Very nice ambience. Amazing experience.

It was a great experience for my fiance’s birthday. The specials and menu were fantastic! Cocktails were well crafted. A tad delayed on service, but overall would recommend for anyone looking to spice up their week, and or getting ready for date night.

The food was hot and quite good but the service and wait times were sub-par. We waited 20 minutes just to see a menu! Dinner overall took 2 hours, so there was no way we were going to try the desserts!

My 89-year-old mom said: “That is the best meal I have ever had!’ She loved the warm bread, the mixed green salad, and, especially, the Siciliano breaded veal, which was “perfect.” And, the side of veggies was so good, she ate some of each of the skinny green beans, roasted new red potatoes, and braised carrots, but usually won’t eat veggies. Photo is proof!

We have eaten here many times over the years. Probably 2-3 times per year. Overall I recommend eating here. Hopefully by the time you eat here, the bathrooms will be clean, especially the toilet mens and the mirror . Also, if you make reservations a month in advance, you should call again to verify that reservation is still valid because chances are you will lose your seat and they will put you at a table smaller than what your party will fit comfortably. I will probably come back because the food is speaks for itself and people make mistakes, but I will give them time to get their act together.

So, so good. We found it by accident and it had the atmosphere, service, and food we were looking for. Also, the wine list was superb.
