Best Sicilian Restaurant Saint Louis Near Me

Amy Moses: Picked up Caprese salad to go, Tony was very sweet and salad was excellent. Appreciate that he came out to see if I wanted the dressing on side. Definitely going back!!

Rachel Sullivan: This place is a bit erie inside due to the dim lighting. The food is EXPENSIVE we came for dinner and for 6 ravioli yep that’s right SIX lobster ravioli for $29!!!!! Was it delicious? Yes! But not worth $29 for 6 lobster ravioli. The calamari has tentacles and it’s SO chewy bleh

Jeremy Brandt: Best restaurant on the hill!

Jorg Lueke: Gian-Tony's serves up classic Italian comfort food. I had scallops in cream sauce while my wife had a vodka penne with scallops. We also had seafood mushrooms and crostini as appetizers and tiramisu for dessert. Everything was cooked well, the seafood was properly seared and not overcooked. The sauces were flavorfully and rich if not refunded. In short everything tasted good but the prices charged are too much for good. They are fine dining prices for home cooking.The service was prompt, attentive , respectful and friendly. However there were some billing issues which the staff kept arguing over and addressing in front of customers which wasn't exactly professional. And some of the staff seemed tired at the end of the day, understandable but a negative as far as atmosphere goes.With no drinks our bill was $150 for two persons and that's too much for the quality and level of service we received.

Nathan Ryder: We were told The Hill was the place to get a great meal before a show at The Fabulous Fox Theater. Word of caution, there isn't much open for dinner on Sunday in this area. The restaurants that were either specifically named to us or we thought looked good online were all closed except Gian-Tony's. We made an early reservation and the place was nearly empty but within a few minutes it was filled to capacity. The wait staff was friendly and attentive. The food was mediocre. We tried the seafood stuffed mushrooms as an appetizer. The bread provided was nothing special. House ceaser salads before the main course has low quality lettuce, burned croutons, and was heavy on the anchovy in the dressing. For main dishes we chose the filet mignon and the seafood ravioli with scallops. The filet is served swimming in a dish of "filet sauce" which tasted like a creamy chicken broth. It wasn't enjoyable and at $42, the quality of the meat didn't match the price point. For $20 we got 5 large ravioli sprinkled with what looked like marshmallows but in reality were the tiniest scallops I had ever seen. We finished the meal sharing a tiramisu because I have to try every Italian restaurants tiramisu. It was light on the espresso flavors and heavy on sweet cream. Throw in 2 glasses of well-wine and it was $112 for a couple before a 20% tip. I was excited to try Gian-Tony's on our visit to St. Louis but will definitely look for something different on our next visit.

ashley sprinkel: Was not worth the price. The toasted ravioli, soup and salad were delicious. The Alfredo tasted bland like it was out of a jar. The carbonara was better than the Alfredo but still seemed from a jar. The chocolate crème brûlée was good. The vanilla creamer brûlée was not cooked correctly so it wasn’t smooth.Recommended dishes Pasta Carbonara, Fried Ravioli, Garden Salad …More

Jacob Lamont: Food bland. Wait staff pretty slow & not personable. I honestly don't leave reviews and felt the need for this one. I'm still at the table writing this. They're so cheap here they covered the table cloths with white paper so they don't have to clean anything.Italian restaurants should make you feel at home., feed you like your family. The only feeling I got while sitting there was the rush to get out and seat another customer (check).

Sara Kambouris: Best Boulognese sauce I've eaten in 30 years outside my own home.Caesar dressing was fresh, correct, and delicious.Ravioli was tasty indeed!Very professional waite staff as well;Outside dining was pleasant.It's hard to find excellent Italian and this is.Vegetarian options: There are enough vegetarian options for a choice.Parking: Street parking at 530pm was fine

David Destiche: Ate at the bar. Bartender & food were both incredible!

Nikki Doran: My husband and I moved to STL almost 10 years ago. We were recommended the restaurant and loved it so much that we never ventured out on The Hill. It easily became our favorite restaurant and the only place we frequent for special occasions. Highly recommend - don’t miss the tiramisu!

Anthony Giarrusso: Excellent food and great service. By far the best Italian on the hill. Highly recommend ..

L G: I came here from the arch for dinner because of the reviews. Ordered the shrimp scampi, came with a salad. Everything had no flavor. A little salt wouldn't hurt. The salad was blind and wilted, almost as though the dressing was on it for hours. The shrimp scampi was just as bland.

Elizabeth Hall: We come here often and haves loved every meal and every drink. The service is excellent.

Doug Dowd: I was very unhappy. My 98-year-old dinner partner nearly fell on the dangerous steps from the building lobby into the restaurant. The step needs to be Made level with the building lobby floor subject to code and subject to the examination of the problem by a an architect or an engineer. Very scary event.

Maggie Hutaff: Fantastic food and cozy atmosphere!

Maria: Be careful to inquire about specials. I ordered the tuna expecting a tuna steak. Instead, I was brought a plate with four strips of rather dry tuna, no discernible sauce and five onion-ringed shaped slices of squash. I’m not a big eater ordinarily but was left feeling rather empty with this meal.

Ann Snodgrass: 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.

Stanley Khoo: Great ambience, friendly customer service, very good food at reasonable price. Must try the fried cauliflower, so very tasty.Parking: Metered parking and a small lot next to building. Typical Clayton parking situation.Dietary restrictions: Great about avoiding allergens for one of our party.

Ross Mandernach: This place make the hill seem like a fazzolis. World class place

Crystal: 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!

J H: Il Palato is a phenomenonal restaurant. For the night before our Wedding, we reserved the downstairs room for our Wedding Party. The menu is fantastic and elegant, not too large, which ensures diligence and care for each item. We sampled nearly all of the menu items, and everyone had only positive reviews!Alan and Elizabeth took care of us that evening, and they did an outstanding job! Alan made sure to thoroughly describe all of the menu items and was highly attentive to all of our requests. They definitely made our Wedding Eve one to remember!

matt vanderworp: Love Lorenzo’s! Their Bolognese is delicious.Recommended dishes Seafood Pasta …More

Alex Besmer: Nestled in The Hill in St. Louis, Lorenzo’s Trattoria distinguishes itself with its Northern Italian fare that carries a contemporary touch, setting it apart from the traditional offerings of the region​. Its classy and laid-back atmosphere creates a versatile dining environment, perfect for a business dinner or a family meal​. However, despite its refined setting and reasonable prices, my experience was a mixed bag, earning it a 3-star rating on my scale.Service at Lorenzo's was prompt. Our server ensured our drink and food orders were delivered in a timely manner. However, the briskness of the service gave an unintended impression of rushing through the meal, leaving a desire for a more relaxed pace that would match the restaurant's elegant ambiance.The food, while promising in description, was unfortunately overshadowed by its excessive saltiness. We started with a trio of appetizers - the Grilled Shrimp Scampi, Goat Cheese Ravioli, and Crispy Calamari. The Grilled Shrimp Scampi, served with white beans, arugula, roasted peppers, and lemon aioli, was nicely done but was too salty​​. The house-made Goat Cheese Ravioli, served in a tomato-basil, pancetta broth, suffered a similar fate, with the salt overpowering the delicate balance of flavors​. The Crispy Calamari, served with zucchini strips and a tomato-saffron vinaigrette on a bed of sautéed spinach, was also excessively salty, diminishing the taste of the tender calamari and the complex vinaigrette​​.For the main course, I opted for the Seafood Risotto, a dish comprising shrimp, calamari, and scallops in a mushroom ragù​​. The other members of my party ordered the Grilled Beef Tenderloin Medallions, served with garlic whipped potatoes and asparagus in a mushroom red wine reduction​​. The risotto was a highlight, cooked to perfection and filled with a generous helping of seafood. However, the same issue of saltiness persisted. The Grilled Beef Tenderloin Medallions were cooked well, but the excessive saltiness again masked the dish's inherent flavors.In conclusion, Lorenzo’s Trattoria has the potential to be a great dining experience, with its classy ambiance, a menu that promises a modern take on traditional Italian cuisine, and efficient service. However, the heavy-handed use of salt in the dishes we tried detracted from the overall experience. A lighter touch would allow the quality of the ingredients and the skills of the chef to truly shine.

Re Mormino: Chef Pepe Kehm does an incredible job of preparing wonderful dishes from Southern Italy. The menu offers a refreshing departure from the usual Italian fare. The braised octopus is out of this world. It's so tender. You can cut it with a fork. The giant meatballs reminded me of my grandma's. The Sicilian eggplant is layered, non breaded, cheesy goodness. Pepe was kind enough to prepare braciole for us. It didn't disappoint! We finished our meal with zabaglione and berries. The meal was pure perfection from start to finish!

Bernie Dippolito: Classic Italian fare. The menu isn't what I would call "adventurous" but what they do make, they make it outstanding. They do have outstanding daily specials that are more off the beaten path. The service is outstanding, the patio is very nice, and atmosphere overall is very relaxed.

With 1/2 dozen open tables we were seated by a constantly opening exterior door and the busing station. While the food was good, I shouldn’t have to go online to find prices.

Yang Liu: I had a fantastic experience at this restaurant. From the moment we arrived, the waiter and owner were incredibly welcoming and friendly. For dinner, I ordered the seafood stew, and I was blown away by the amazing taste and generous portion size. The only thing that could be improved is ensuring that there are no little crushed shells or fish bones in the dish (though I know that can be difficult with seafood!). Overall, I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking to try some delicious Southern Italian cuisine.Parking: Maybe 5 parking spots. Plenty of street parking around the restaurant.

K Barton: They don’t share prices even in restaurant and the waitress reacted as if we were odd to even ask. Essentially add $5-15 per item to the old prices you can see in photos. The food is really good but the whole situation was just put off by the unknown prices

Matt Hitchcock: Total hidden gem! My wife and I loved this unpretentious upscale Italian restaurant. It has a modest, cozy, European vibe. The prices are not listed on the menu so be prepared if that makes you uncomfortable. You are going to pay upwards of $30 / person. My wife ordered the tagliatelle, which was in a super tasty sausage and prosciutto broth. Portion size was good. Probably should have had leftovers but we killed it. Also had the Rucola pizza. We opted for the large. It was enough for 2 people plus leftovers. Wine list was nice and had some interesting Italian options. We opted for a bottle of Nebbiolo Langhe. I heard their menu changes regularly so you might have different options available to you. Perfect dinner and worth splurging and paying a little more than we would for a night out. Recommended.

Amber Callan: Exceeded all of my expectations! Chef Pepe was the kindest and so charismatic. Our server Sanjey was attentive and gave great recommendations. The specials were insanely delicious (especially the goat ragú) and the mock tails were lovely. Chef’s “French Kiss” dessert was EVERYTHING. We will absolutely be back! After one visit, Peno already feels like home.

Tom Miller: Wow, Pepe and his staff are killing it! I had the pleasure of going there recently with a friend that is a retired chef. We sampled a wonderful assortment of dish's that just kept getting better. The service was great, the food was great!

David Lazar: We came to Peno after a recommendation from a family member that they offered authentic yet upscale Italian cuisine. It was the winter time, so I was especially pleased to see that their outdoor deck was open. They inclosed it and had very well-placed gas heaters as well.Their wine and beer list is well curated and not overwhelmingly large. They also serve wonderful table bread. For dinner, I got the Tagliatelle with sausage, prosciutto, roasted red pepper, pistachio, and tomato broth. This dish is almost more like soup than a pasta dish but it tasted great. The sausage was cooked and spiced to perfection.We got Italian Wedding Cake for dessert, that was not stellar but it was definitely cool to see it on the menu. They also have a really cool space inside.One thing I will note is that the Parkin situation at this restaurant is not great. We had to park on the street and it was a decent walk to our car after we were done eating.All in all, this place was really good and I will be back!Parking: Parking is street only

Scott Newcomb: Pastaria used to be one of my favorite restaurants, but I moved away a few years ago and hadn’t been back since. I came back this weekend and was excited to show my fiancé. First I was surprised the see the prices had jumped by an astronomical amount since I had last been in, which seems extreme for pasta. However, we enjoyed the mushroom app, bread, chopped salad, and gelato, but then the overpriced pasta was sadly just… bad. The lasagna verde absolutely reeked of metal. They brought it out on a cast iron skillet and all we could smell for the entire meal was a strong odor of metal and it tasted a bit like that on the lasagna as well. We basically had no appetite after that. However she had the garganelli and that was disappointing as well. It basically just tasted like pot roast. They could’ve taken away the pasta and never would’ve noticed. It all just tasted like pot roast. I wouldn’t usually even bother with a review except for the fact this restaurant used to be so good. I hope this helps recognize the mistakes of their pasta dishes and extremely overpriced menu so they get back to the quality they used to have

Koree Havard: I had the pistachio ravioli it was absolutely delicious. I also had the mule that they have on their drink menu and I had their tiramisu which was absolutely perfect.

Baibhav Bhattarai: I recently had the pleasure of dining at Pastaria, and I must say that it was a truly delightful experience. From the moment I walked through the doors, I was impressed by the warm, inviting ambiance and the friendly, attentive staff. The restaurant was bustling with energy, a testament to its popularity, but despite the crowds, everything ran smoothly and our food arrived on time.Pastaria's menu offers a delightful selection of Italian dishes, expertly prepared and presented with flair. The flavors were rich, and every bite was a testament to the skill and passion of the chefs in the kitchen. The quality of the ingredients was evident, and I could tell that care had been taken in crafting each dish.The service was a highlight of the evening. The staff went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and ensure that we had everything we needed. They were knowledgeable about the menu and offered helpful recommendations when we were unsure what to order.While the restaurant was a bit crowded, it only added to the lively atmosphere, and the noise level never became overwhelming. That being said, I would highly recommend making a reservation beforehand to secure a table and avoid any wait times.In summary, Pastaria offers a fantastic dining experience, complete with exceptional food, a vibrant atmosphere, and outstanding service. It's the perfect place for a special occasion, a night out with friends, or simply to enjoy a fantastic meal in a welcoming environment. I will definitely be returning soon and encourage others to give it a try!

Manuela Jimenez: I read great reviews about Pastaria Restaurant, so We came to experience it ourselves. The place was in fact crowded, I guess that’s a good thing, so We had to seat at the bar. The bartender was very helpful with the menu, and very friendly.We ordered some drinks; Inverno old fashioned, and house wine for me,( we enjoyed it )As a starter We ordered the ricotta ball,( they were fantastic) They also bring you fresh bread with olive oil. For the main course, We had Tagliatelle bolognese and Chicken alla cacciatore; both were delicious, but my absolutely favorite one was the Chicken alla cacciatore, each bite is a mix of fresh intense flavor( fantastic) For dessert We had Spumoni Flourless chocolate torte, nutty, high intense quality of dark chocolate, and a little tart (Amazing)Finally We asked for the check it was high but It worth it Lol 😂

Audrey Fischer: I've been here twice for dinner. It was bad the first time, but I gave it a second chance based on the rave reviews, and it was even worse. I truly can't understand the hype. The only reason I'm giving this two stars instead of one is that the gelato is incredible, and I liked the risotto balls. However that isn't enough to make upfor the fact that the pasta is unbearably salty. I like salt more than the average person, as does my dinner companion, and this pasta was salty to the point of being inedible. My dinner companion had the same experience, and neither of us could finish our food. I'm very forgiving and it's incredibly rare that I'll tell people not to eat somewhere, but this place was one of the most disappointing dining experiences I've ever had. Get gelato to go, but otherwise don't waste your money here.

Vanessa Diaz: The food and service (thanks Cole!) was amazing! This is now one of my top favorite restaurants in the city!

ashely stan: I feel like not saying anything is still lying. I randomly picked this place because the menu looked intriguing. I went for the salad lol! It was more than what I expected and the Neapolitan pizza, “a’more”! Can’t wait to go back to try the pasta!

Hiram Novelo: It was ok. The bucatini was way too thick and hard. Meatballs were good, the mixed greens salad was also good. Just not worth the money in my opinion. 95 dollars after tax plus 20 dollar tip for 2 pastas, a small salad and the meatball appetizer, no drinks. Great service though, however tables are way too close to each other, servers and customers bumping into each other all the time.

Jane Michael: Slow service, snooty staff, food was not the best but not the worst, had to fan myself with a newspaper the whole time I was eating my overpriced meal. It was unbelievably hot. Lighting was terrible. Probably so you can't see fragments of unwanted particles in the food. Manager said his name was Matt or Mike or something like that. He was nice to the Caucasian customers but treated myself like I was less than human. They didn't even have any workers of color there. Only two who were working the front door but none on the actual floor waiting on the tables making the real money. Seemed like a racist Italian resteraunt.

John C: Tasty pizzas, attentive staff, elegant atmosphere without pretension, carefully crafted plates and cocktails. Delicious happy hour food specials.

althea honan: I love basso!! It would be five star, but since they have changed the burgers bun to this new kind, it has to be four stars. please go back to the original bun...or at least not this kind!! I still love basso tho

Alicia Fairall: Great atmosphere for a fancy date night, firelit dining with a beautiful bar area. On the high end but worth the price. Shout out to Alec for being a great waiter and helping me navigate the menu with my dairy allergy, will be back.

Trisha Marie: We walked into this place thinking it looked really nice. Very cool decor, then the hostesses approached us. They looked at us weird, I'm assuming, because we had our little kids with us. They told us we could sit on a sofa and eat. Really?? A sofa to eat with two small children? Wow. Then they told us a 45-minute wait. We sat down to wait and only had to wait about 15 minutes, and they had a table for us. We sat. I looked over the menu, and it was super small. No chicken or poultry of any kind. Only red meats. Pretty messed up. Definitely nothing for kids. We ended up leaving and eating elsewhere. So if you have kids, don't eat pork or red meat, and don't like snobby teenager hostesses, don't go here.

Jessica Wiley: I'm late as hell with this review, but our experience was sooo memorable I remember it as if it happened yesterday!! Another win for the hubby cuz we pulled up as soon as the doors opened (and reservations are recommended frfr)... trying new food is a so rewarding for me and even more enjoyable when the ambiance, customer service and food is a five star experience from the time I arrive to the time I leave!! Jumping right to it, our server helped us navigate the menu of twisted American-Italian delights cuz we were lost lolbvs. Hubby opted for a Lemon Drop with crispy meatballs & Brussel sprouts, while you know I ordered my Whiskey Mule and ate the Basso Burger that came with truffle fries 🤤-P.S, for your birthday, a free dessert is available so they lemme try a peanut butter and jelly treat, but it was too rich so I stuck with the Tiramisu (no disappointment ALL ALL)...this is a great place for groups and even date night & you bet I'm goin back!!

Linda Kiser: The food at Favazza's was out of this world! Their longtime history in this neighborhood "The Hill" definitely shows I. The taste and quality of food, atmosphere, and personable service. We had the fired ravioli, spaghetti and meatballs, and lasagne. I have to say the lasagne was #1! But it was all delicious. You can't visit the area and miss stopping in "The Hill" at Favazza's.

Jo Masson: Wonderful service. Food is very good and portions are plentiful. Beautiful day on the patio.

Amanda: This restaurant was recommended to us. We waited an hour to be seated so I was sure food was gonna be great. I ordered the lasagna and sadly it was disgusting. I've never met a lasagna I didn't love but I could only eat one bite. I brought the left over home figured maybe my teenage son would like it. He wouldn't eat it after trying it and threw it away. I will never go back.

Emmarose Neibert: Fantastic staple on the Hill. My partner got the special (Lobster Ravioli) and I had the Pesce Con Granchio. Both were fantastic and staff was very kind and personable. Food came out fast despite it being a busy Friday night with a private party in part of the restaurant. We’ll be back!
