The fried artichoke hearts were amazing! The salad was great. The seafood cannelloni was really good, but a little on the small side. The atmosphere was nice and relaxing.

Great and friendly service. Carnivore pizza was well worth the money. We’ll be back again soon to try more on their menu. Chelsea was an awesome waitress, and the cooks did their thing in the back because everything tasted great. Highly recommend, and thank you again to the staff up there!

This is a wonderful, cozy Italian restaurant. The food was somewhat hit or miss. The meatballs are delightful, so soft they nearly melt in your mouth and not too heavy or light on the seasoning. Not to mention, they’re covered in tomato sauce and mozzarella cheese. Three of us visited, and we all ordered a side ceasar salad with our meals, but one of them came out as a house salad. Our server ended up taking one salad off of the check, though. The two Ceasars were overwhelmingly heavy on the parmesan cheese. Other than that, not bad. For my main dish, I ordered the “Chicken Modiga”. The breading on that chicken was so flavorful and well seasoned that it may be the best breaded chicken I’ve ever eaten. The asparagus tasted a little different than the asparagus I’m used to, but still good. The pasta as well, delicious. One of our entrées came out cold, which, along with the salad, costs them a star for food. The service was as expected for a packed Sunday dinnertime. I took off one star for bringing the wrong salad and the cold food. The atmosphere was inviting and cozy, but the lighting was dim and it was difficult to see the menu. Highly recommend this establishment to anyone.

Great food, went there on Valentines Day dinner and the place was packed as expected. Still managed to get the last remaining table because we arrived at 5:20pm. Food was good, service was delayed, but it was because there were only three waitresses trying to handle the entire restaurant. It wasn’t that they were slow, there was just a lot of customers and a few servers. I noticed there was consistently a line of about 15 people long waiting near the entrance to pickup to-go orders. This went on from our 5:20pm arrival through our 7:00pm departure. Even so, food was great, even if it took a while to arrive, and the waitress was apologetic for the delays and always nice. Highly recommend coming here if you want some good Italian food. I got the manicotti and it’s the real deal. Just be prepared to sit around because this place stays busy

This is the first time we have eaten here for dinner, and I must say that this is the best Italian restaurant in St. Louis with no exceptions! Everything about this restaurant is spot on exceptional. Service Exceptional * Ambience Exceptional * Food Exceptional * Quantity of food for your money Exceptional. Chelsea was our server, and we could not have asked for better service. I added a few pictures.

Got takeout from here and was blown away by everything. The handmade dressings were absolutely incredible and well balanced. The fried artichoke hearts were still crispy and awesome even after driving them home to enjoy. One of the best red sauces I’ve ever enjoyed! You can tell how much care and thought is put into each bite, truly fantastic food!

I absolutely love this place, it is always so good. I hear they got the best pizza and I haven’t gotten to try it yet because I always come when I’m craving pasta. We always get the toasted ravs, and I get the manicotti. The sauce is so good and everything is seasoned and flavorful. The service has always been great. This is my top choice for the best Italian cuisine in the St Louis area.

I was in the mood for Italian and we were in the area, so Google recommended this place. My husband really liked his salad and I liked the cheesy garlic bread. He didn’t care for the garlic bread as there wasn’t much garlic. He also didn’t care for the lasagna he ordered as much as he had hoped he would. I got a panini sandwich with roast beef, roasted red peppers and goat cheese. It was pretty good, but the side dish of pasta with meat sauce that came with it was quite flavorless. We also are wondering why they keep it so dark in the restaurant.

This was an absolute wonder. The basil tomato sauce with the spaghetti was perfect and tasted like it was made with garden fresh ingredients. My Mediterranean Chicken Salad was huge and full of flavor. Every thing was honestly a hit for me, food service, atmosphere, and pricing vs portion is spot on. I can’t believe I’ve never tried this place before today but I know I’ll be back again.
