“Best unexpected menu item...Rolando's Merry Christmas Chicken Noodle soup.This is not your grandmother's Chicken soup! The soup was a delectable blend of tender chunks of chicken, sweet carrots, Christmas Tree pasta, and celery in a savory broth with melting Parmigiano cheese on top. A palate-pleasing meld of flavors for the soul!“
“"From the moment I stepped into The Crossing in Clayton, I knew I was in for a remarkable dining experience. The exceptional service began with Sunny, who skillfully handled my reservation, and continued with David's warm welcome at the door. My server, Joshua, was simply outstanding, ensuring that my visit was nothing short of perfect.What truly set this experience apart was the meticulous attention to dietary restrictions for both me and my guests. It's rare to find a restaurant that genuinely cares and accommodates with such grace.The meal was unforgettable, leaving me talking about it for weeks. But the cherry on top was a chance encounter with Joseph on the sidewalk days later. His genuine follow-up about my experience showcased a level of care and knowledge that is unparalleled in the industry.The Crossing in Clayton is not just a restaurant; it's an experience where the staff goes above and beyond, making it a must-visit for anyone seeking culinary excellence and exceptional service."“
“This restaurant has outstanding Italian cuisine. The food is delicious and its presentation is pretty as well. We went there on a Saturday evening with friends and had to wait around 45 minutes. I don't know if they take reservations in advance. It is well worth the wait though.“
“I would put myself in debt to eat this food, It's so incredible the head chef is brilliant, and the staff from the front of the house to the back make the entire experience a joy. the wild boar and polenta is writing home about worthy, and the tirimisu makes me emotional... the pizza is literally the only pizza in st louis worth eating and I'm from Chicago so I feel like my opinion is extra valid lol. there are a ton of "fancy restaurants" in St. Louis but table cloths and wine selection don't mean crap when the menu of a reasonably priced pizza joint makes your food look like McDonald's by comparison.“
“I dont think the salad making lady likes me. She smiles at all the men and facially scowls at me.....lol. Not a friendly gal for sure but, i go there for the food and it cannot b beat. The cashier guy is super nice and friendly too! Praise “
“Authenticity at its finest.Incredibly friendly staff with a glaringly obvious expert skill set. Everything here is superb.The dough is light and airy with a crispy underbelly. Textbook mozzarella ratio but the star of the show is their homemade sauce. They should make an extra batch every week just to jar and sell. We would stock up on every visit. The sauce is the soul of the pizza pie. This one is simultaneously deep AND vibrant - a gastronomic spectacle to behold.Also, if I’m not mistaken, they make their own bread for their garlic cheese bread which is equally divine.Can’t ask much more of a pizzeria while remaining on this plane of existence.“
“Had their pizza for the first time, and it was worth the hype. The Chicken Delight pizza is so good! It is probably my favorite thin crust pizza I’ve had. I also loved the wing sauce! All of the workers and owner, John, were incredible. They got our pizza out quickly (even though it was busy). We will definitely be back!“
“I had the rigatoni arribiatta which was delicious. My group and I had a really nice time in general, but towards the time that we left it was VERY loud in the restaurant, this was around 7:00pm. It became so loud that I left with a sore throat (not joking) from having to project my voice just to be heard by the person across the table. I did really enjoy my food though.“
“Everything was great except the pizza which is sad considering their “specialty” is pizza. Salad’s were large and flavorful, house wine was great and poured generously and the bread was crispy and toasted to perfection. The atmosphere and service were top notch and the pizza was virtually flavorless, very plain tasting and it looked like they put 0 effort into the flavor and prep. of the crust which is sad considering I came here for the pizza. I would return but not for the pizza, everything else was that good.“
“Have been going here for years but last night's service and food was beyond any experience we have ever had. I commented on their Facebook post about a dessert and how awesome it would be to try the next night when we were there. They set one aside and put it with our reservation! That is about the highest level of service I have ever experienced at any restaurant. Jamie is an amazing host and I will make sure to request his section every time we make a reservation. He has been our host the last couple times and just goes above and beyond for all his guests. Cannot say enough great things about every experience we have had here.“
“Was reluctant at first, but I'm glad my better half decided that we were going to try as we have never been. As we entered, we were greeted with a simple and soft welcome, we looked at the menu and decided to try a NY style crust, best decision by far! The toppings were perfect for the pizza, not overwhelming, the taste was great and will definitely come back.“
“First time to Bartolino's for a surprise Birthday get together. So impressed with the attention to details, prompt service and great food. While the outside of the restaurant is nothing to speak of, the inside is warm and cozy with a hint of elegance. Loved the vibe.“
“People have asked me to recommend a good pizza place. I will recommend THE BEST pizza place I know... Double D's Pizzeria.Double D's is a small, family owned and operated, establishment located along Tesson Ferry Rd. between Butler Hill Rd. and Wells Rd.I highly recommend their St. Louis style pizza, calzones, chicken wraps, and cheese fries - among many other things on their menu. Their pizzas are thin crust with a blend of cheeses. If you like bacon on your pie, you'll LOVE this... Bacon crumbles AND strips. I honestly can't put it in words how good it is.Double D's is a family friendly restaurant with eat-in and carry out options (no delivery). The ambiance inside is laden with sports jerseys and memorabilia from local high school sports teams. Multiple TV's in the restaurant showcase sports channels and other entertainment.There is also a small game room with a couple of arcade type games to keep the littles entertained.You honestly can't go wrong here. If you're looking for a local, non-commercial family friendly pizza place, then look no further than Double D's!!“
“I ordered the Roasty Toasty for delivery to MoBap Hospital. I work in the medical buildings so it can be tricky to find us...the delivery guy, Nathan, was great! The online ordering process was so easy, and the food was next level! The pesto is bursting with flavor, and the whole pine nuts in the calzone added a great texture!! We are definitely going to order again!“
“I have visited Trattoria Toscana a few times and decided to take my son and daughter in law for a celebration dinner. It was exquisite! The food was delicious as always. Frankie was an outstanding server and worthy of accolades! Trattoria Toscana will be my choice of restaurants to celebrate or just go out for delicious food for no special reason. So happy!“
“We walked in without a reservation while traveling. They found a table for us. It was a very nice table and the service was amazing! They went above and beyond to make us feel welcome! The food was great and if ever in St. Louis again, we will be back.“
“The food was excellent. Very well seasoned. The service was spectacular. And each course came out in an expeditious amount of time, such that I never felt like I was waiting between courses. I had the Paloma cocktail and another one called “Cello.” Both savory and delicious. A very well managed establishment.“
“It was my first time at Maggianos and Angela was our server. She had excellent service and was attentive. Their Irish coffee was really good and their take home entrees are being enjoyed now. Very glad to have had the experience that Angela provided.“
“Love these subs, as a rule. Kinda spendy, but usually yummy. Today one of our subs had a huge, way too thick slice of salami on it. Thanks for the extra, but way over the top for meat this time. Just do it right and it will be great! Don’t over-do or under-do.“
“Tried this restaurant yesterday. Had a reservation for Valentine’s Day. The food was really good and the waiter was nice. The restaurant wasn’t really crowded when we got there and we still had to wait. The table we got was a high top by the bar, would have preferred a booth or other table in the dining area but all in all it was a good experience. I’d go back for another steak, it was delicious.Dietary restrictions: Peanut free facilityParking: Lots of spots“
“Special-ordered filet with shrimp, grilled to perfection and topped with a whole-roasted garlic cream sauce. Best carbonara I've ever had. Delicious fried escarole to start, delectable cassata cake to finish. Brought two kids and the servers treated them like royalty.This story is dime-a-dozen among Frank Papa's patrons. Brentwood's best-kept secret. Order the Carpini! Or the "eviction notice" pasta. Those chocolate martinis, and that chocolate ravioli. I could go on and on about this legendary restaurant. I could write a book about how working there changed my life.And tonight, I tell you now as a diner, the train is on the tracks and full speed ahead with Frank's more-than-capable nephew Rob at the controls. The food is still incredible, the service warm and welcoming, the atmosphere...home.If you have never been to Frank Papa's, I implore you: go. If you haven't been in a while: return. You won't find a more inviting fine-dining establishment with better food in St. Louis.“
“Just Wow. What a great place. I’ve more the gladly drove 20 minutes just for their sandwiches. They treat everyone with a courteous smile and it’s well known. If you want a sandwich or salad, take an extra few minutes and treat yourself right!“
“Holy cow, this place was awesome. I went with a group of 7 for lunch today. It was slammed with customers but they still got our orders taken and food to us in good time. The lady taking orders was fast and efficient while also being an absolute pleasure to deal with. The rest of the staff was just as good. I got the meatball sandwich and it was truly amazing. I was full when I finished it but still disappointed when it was gone. Overall it was an amazing experience and I can't wait to go back the next time I'm in St. Louis.“
“We had an amazing dinner tonight at YaYa’s! The sea scallops were exquisite and are the best we’ve had in St. Louis. The salmon salad and gnocchi were delectable, as were the cocktails. The icing on the cake was being served by the one and only, Andy Samberg!! I can’t believe he works here! The service was amazing as was his comedic nature! Everything about this place was top notch.!! We absolutely will be back! BEST.NIGHT. EVER!! ☺️“
“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.“
“Our waitress, Lakaila, was helpful and cheery, she made the visit great. She was very helpful when pointing out various food combinations. I would definitely come back to this location because of her wonderful attitude.The lasagna was tasty but ordinary, the salad was ok but had few browning pieces of iceberg lettuce. The bread sticks were good. The booth was clean and the overall atmosphere of the restaurant was good.Parking: Handicap spaces and ramp, plenty of free parking“
“My companion and I shared a St Louis style sausage and mushroom pizza. It was very good, however we both suspected that the chef tossed some mozzarella in with the provel. It was very tasty, just a surprise when expecting a true St Louis style pizza. My companion also had the house salad with house dressing and said that it was very good. The service was a little discombobulated because it appeared that they were shorthanded right before lunch but we weren't neglected. All in all a very good lunch!“
“Very good calzones! I got steak and mushrooms, someone else at our table got the BBQ chicken with roasted corn in it.All the calzones come with sauce "on the side," as the name suggests. Mine had French onion dip, which would have been better if not cold, in my opinion. They also have cheese sauce, a really good garlic butter, a white BBQ sauce...The server asked if we wanted any changes (different sauces, etc) Drinks came in glasses made to look like cans, very cute!Lunch for 4 was under 50 bucks, and two of us got bottomless drinks and a drink to go. Great value, cute place and wonderful food!“
“Especiallly pleased with service and atmosphere. You can actually have a conversation without shouting! Love the soups. Also pleased that they were willing to accommodate a dietary request. Food is always well prepared and served hot. I've ordered a variety of dishes over time and never been disappointed. Definitely would frequent more often if the price point were a bit lower, but, in general, they are in line with most other fine restaurants. I consider them a favoite and definitely recommend.“
“Holy foodies! family owned restaurant Ballwin, MO. Their product puts the famous IMOs pizza to shame.You MUST order the homemade sausage with the sauce and provell cheese... it's perfect.I recommend half pepperoni - bell pepper and pepperoni -pineapple.My mouth is watering writing this.we have a standing mandate to eat hear before any vacation.It is just that good.“
“Our first time in.Nikki was awesome.Food was delish, even though one of the orders was wrong, it was still yummy. ( I ordered the tortellini in Cajun sauce and got the Cajun pasta instead) the boyfriend ordered the lasagna. He said he would give it a 4, and was happy it wasn’t small. HUGE portions. Dinner salad was one of the best we’ve ever had. Overall… we liked it, and will definitely go back.Parking: Easy parking, but a big dip going in and out… still not terrible.“
“P'sghetti's Pasta and Sandwich, a cherished family-owned gem in South County, wins hearts with exceptional service. For two decades, it has been a go-to spot with delightful family specials and irresistible pizza bread. Experience the joy it brings!“
“What a great experience!! The food was excellent and the service was top notch! Ray is a great server that really describes the dishes and offers great selections. A restaurant doesn't make the address book in my phone if it's not great, this one did!!!!“
“The staff is very nice, the food doesn't take long to come, the place is very clean and decorated, and the fact that you can add as much sauce that comes in the little cup makes this place amazing. BTW, if you need to know, they have coke products here.“
“Service was so friendly and efficient! You order and pay at the cashier and then someone brings your food to the table. The ambiance was fine. It's basically a wine shop with a row of tables. Great for a casual lunch. There is a display of sardine cans and such above the kitchen -- very cute! I had the prosciutto sandwich. It was delicious!“
“Picked up my kids last night from college out of state & they HAD to get her Cecil's fix right away, despite how tired they were. Their pizza were PERFECT. Kudos to the new owner Katie. You provided wonderful, attentive service & the fois was great!“
“I just recently moved to Saint Louis and I hate to admit it to my new fellow Missourians, but I am not a fan of the toasted raviolis I have tried. That all changed when I came to Farratos. The toasted raviolis were perfectly filled, had the perfectly toasted crunch and paired so well with their delicious sauce. The service has always been great here, but Nicole was top notch! She was very personable, knowledgeable and made sure we had what we needed and more. Thank you Nicole!“
“The food was great. We have been there many times and as always the food never fails. Our waitress was very attentive and extremely bubbly. The check-in process on the other hand was horrible. We called ahead to let them know we were on our way, clicked on the link they sent us when we arrived, also in person at the desk. The website said we were in position 1 for over a half hour as we watched group after group(varying sizes) go in before us. Even spoke with another family who was getting frustrated as they were in position 2 and also watched group after group go in. They finally went in after the grandfather and I started to get vocal about how it wasn't making sense as to why we were still waiting. We finally were seated about five minutes after them but not before a party of 2 that was there after us was seated. I'm not sure what happened but I was not happy with how it was handled.“
“There is only one thing you should get when you go here and it is the pistachio ravioli. Not really, because everything here is good, but that pasta is something I always think about. Their wine pours from the staff are good and their gelato is the perfect night cap. The vibe here is always lively.“
“We are having such an awesome time here at Billy G's in Kirkwood! Jackie, our server, was so friendly and so prompt, everything that you would want someone serving you food!Here's a picture of half and I repeat half of the chicken nachos that I had! The rest is gone in my tummy!If, for whatever reason, you have never been here before don't walk but run here it's a great place!“
“Have been going here for years and the pizza is always great but the customer service is always even better. Drew always makes sure everyone is getting what they want. Drew and his staff do an amazing job here with the food and customer service.“
Italian • $$
“Found this place on Google and it seemed like it’d be good. I think maybe we showed up on a karaoke night. It’s not just a restaurant but also a little store and deli. I really enjoyed the vibe. My food was good. My favorite thing was my cannoli and I’m a little upset with myself for not getting the larger one.“
“I recently had the pleasure of dining at Shack's Breakfast & Lunch and overall, I had a wonderful experience. The staff was incredibly friendly and attentive, making sure that our dining experience was top-notch. Their knowledge of the menu and willingness to accommodate special requests truly stood out.The food at Shack's was delicious and satisfying, with a variety of breakfast and lunch options to choose from. The portions were generous and the dishes were well-prepared. The cozy atmosphere added to the overall charm of the restaurant.However, I would rate Shack's Breakfast & Lunch a 4.5 stars because I found the water served to be a bit interesting. It had a different taste than what I was used to, which was a minor drawback for me. Despite this, I would still highly recommend Shack's for a tasty meal and excellent service. I will definitely be returning to try more of their menu offerings in the future.“
“Always go for lunch with a friend. No alcohol license but you can bring your own bottle of wine which we do, small fee for service. Lunch menu wide, always opt for upside on salad, theirs the best. Small place but decor fine, server very nice. Can't be bear.Dietary restrictions: Willing to work on changes such as grill vs fried, omit ingredients. Very accommodating.Parking: Small strip mall but at lunch plenty of parking.“
“We've driven past here countless times and today had the opportunity to have lunch. It's a store front in a small strip, clean and nicely decorated inside, with 3-4 umbrella tables outside. The counter staff were very kind and offered recommendations. I had the chicken spedini with salad. I didn't realize it also came with a generous bowl of spaghetti and red sauce. I'm Italian and most Italians will tell you, "We never eat sauce out (meaning tomato sauce), so I took it home for the kiddo. My husband selected the chicken parmigiana which also included pasta and we both had salad. Our entrees and the broccoli that accompanied them were delicious. The quantity of food was too much for me, but the hubby loved it as he was ravenous by the time we stopped. The salads were tasty, though the cheese we added came in fairly large sticks - not bad, just oddly proportioned. Everything tasted good, but we were a bit shocked by the prices. While the counter staff were very nice, she didn't indicate how much of an up charge there was for a small side salad. We'd expected close to $20/each and ended up with a bill of almost $60. We won't pay that much for lunch again anytime soon, though we would consider them for catering because the food was very tasty and the catering prices weren't terrible, thus the 4-stars. It would be 5-stars except for the unexpected pricing.“
“Went for lunch and had no regrets. Both the food and service were top notch!! We were fortunate to grab the last open table during our visit so due to the limited inside seating here be prepared to wait for a table or just carry-out but don't let this stop you from at least trying this place!“
“Writing this review just to shout out one employee in particular. This place is great anyway Reasonable pricing, great ambiance, good food, solid service. But tonight Hunter nailed it, quick on his feet, checked in just the right amount and super helpful and friendly.“
“Love this place- we were there on Saturday night (3/9/24) great food and even better service- Jila at the front was great! She greeted us with a smile the minute we walked in and was so attentive throughout our ordering process and beyond. Thanks for making our night so much better, Jila and team!“
“A friend of mine knew I had a birthday coming up and recommended this hidden treasure. He wasn't wrong! The ambiance of the place is so comfortable and refreshing from the moment we walked thru the door! The food was amazing and we stayed a lot longer than our usual quickeat and go. That was because our waitress Mary made us feel special. She had these little candles for the cupcakes my wife gets for me every year! It was such a great night and we have been back several times since then. Always a place that never disappoints 5stars!!“
“James, our server, made it a fun evening. The food as always, was perfect. We had the caprese with lobster salad to start. Light and tasty. Then we had the 12oz Australian Wagyu, cooked to perfection and just about as good as Japanese Wagyu for a lot less. Served sliced and placed in the middle. We love Wagyu and this is a special dish. We were thrilled they had it tonight. We also had the pasta special, spinach tagliatelle with shrimp and scallops and a cheesy delicious sauce with bacon, almost like a carbonara. Not ultra creamy but super good. Big shrimp and scallops. Finally we had the Truffle Mac and Cheese which is addicting and awesome. We brought some home for our grand daughter. Napoli 2 is a great restaurant.“
