    Our server, Todd, was very attentive and knowledgeable. We enjoyed interacting with him. One of the guests at the table next to us was quite loud, which we didn’t love, but what can you do? The food was very nice. We appreciated the recognition and cake for our anniversary!

    Our second experience at this restaurant. The first one several years ago was impressive and the reason we brought friends with us this time. Unfortunately, this one was disappointing in comparison. Our waiter seemed knowledgeable enough but also appeared hurried. He mixed up the wine orders. Appetizers were pretty good (toasted ravioli and arancini), but not up to the standard we enjoyed at other restaurants the previous two days in the area. Salads were delicious! Each of us ordered pasta entrees — two were fine, but two were mediocre. Our table was dark and cramped, with constant traffic by the waitstaff behind us. So, overall a middling experience that failed, in our opinion, to live up to this restaurant’s excellent reputation.

    My heart is gonna break when I have to leave St Louis. They’ve absolutely ruined all other Italian restaurants for me. I figure they must be Catholics! I feel like it’s heaven, but I also need to go to confession. The guilt is real! 😂😂😂 P.s. They ship the sauce!!!

    Amazing dinner and had an amazing server, Todd! Can’t say enough about Suzanne, the manager. Her hospitality was superb. We will be back.

    I have always loved this place but service can be a little slow- especially when first arriving to order cocktails.

    The service was wonderful. The steak was the worst steak my husband had ever had. They clearly don’t know how to cook a well done steak. The chicken spidini was just okay. Not like other places I’ve had it. We used to love this place. Won’t be going back.
