Excellent meal and a very fine dining experience. Service is always impeccable, friendly and customer centric. Don't miss out on the best restaurant in Kirkwood.

Friday lunch was delicious. The atmosphere is lovely and refined. The Peppe’s and spinach salads were very good. The entrees of veal piccata and grilled halibut were excellent as well. Service was attentive but not overbearing. Tony Bennett and Frank Sinatra music was a wonderful addition to the experience. I can’t wait to return in spring when I can dine in their outdoor garden.

The food comes close to being as good as the top tier Italian restaurants in the St. Louis area but falls short of that and is clearly at the higher end of those of lesser quality. Peppi Salad was "mushy" and the cut of lamb they serve is tough, rendering it both difficult out to cut and chew, it of decent flavor. The service was excellent; the wait staff was hospitable and timely. The man greeting us at the door was obnoxious, downright rude in fact, as we were escorted to a table in the dining room that was so noisy it was reminiscent of a nursery school recess. We asked for a table elsewhere and he commented that since we were using a gift certificate he looked at us as a one time guest. All though not necessarily our intent, he was right! His rude and unwelcoming attitude and remarks were more than enough to dissuade us from returning. He did finally agree to let us move upstairs, saying it would be a 45 minute wait. As we prepared to forget the place and leave, he miraculously found us a table, and when leading me upstairs to check it out remarked that clearly nothing was going to please me. The only thing that displeased me was him, his poor manners to a customer, and his obnoxious comments. We'd never go back. Not sure who the guy with the big mouth was but if he's an employee he needs to be replaced. If he's the owner, shame on him.

Favorite restaurant in Kirkwood! Their fish options are hard to beat in St. Louis. Patio is perfect date spot!

My husband and I went to this restaurant for his birthday. It's really nice that the owner greets you at the door and make sure you get seated. The waiter, Mark, was just attentive enough and not overbearing. The food was really good! My husband had the chicken marsala and he said the sauce was delicious! I had the special that night which was halibut and it was cooked perfectly and seasoned Italian style which was also delicious. They gave him a dessert for his birthday and then we had a after dinner cocktail at the bar. I think it was Leo behind the bar and he seems to be an every night fixture! Be sure to see him too if you go there. I would highly recommend this restaurant for any special occasion or just a nice night out!Parking: There are a few parking spots in a small parking area behind the restaurant. Otherwise you'll have to look at Street parking.
Went here recently for a family birthday celebration. The restaurant is on a corner in Kirkwood, which I believe was a house in its former life. The place feels very comfortable, albeit the noise level made it a bit of a challenge to carry on a conversation. The food was one of the best meals I've had in a while. I had the special that night, Chicken Sorrentino, which was outstanding, as was my wife's halibut. Others at my table raved about the food also, including the appetizers. Service was very attentive and efficient. The only issue I had was when the check was presented, it was written by hand on the kind of check you would expect at a diner, like Waffle House. I couldn't tell what was what because the lighting was very low and any description of the charges was indecipherable. All I saw was an amount, which I had to assume was correct - in fact, it wasn't correct. I had to ask if the drinks we had at the bar prior to the meal were included. They weren't. I suggest the restaurant change the way that checks are presented. It was the only negative on an otherwise great experience.
While the only downside is the room was a bit too dark the tasting menu was amazing!!!! Should I have ate 10 courses maybe not but that's a tomorrow problem!Dietary restrictions: I have a shellfish allergy, and the server was on top of it. No issues

Tried to get reservations for two downstairs but was told could not have a table after 7:00. I explained I would take any evening that was available on any night but was told again they were booked solid for the next few weeks, really they ain’t Tony’

My husband & I grew up in NY. My biggest gripe with STL is the lack of quality Italian food (yes we’ve been to the hill ?). I wish I had come here sooner!! It’s the first restaurant here that provided me a taste of home. Dinner was absolutely incredible!
