“Arrived at 6pm with a party of 15 plus. It was understood what it’d take for our group to be seated. The Manager became a tad unhinged with us after a hostess sat us after half our group left mind you we waited over an hour for those seats. Our waiter was informed before orders were placed it’d be on separate checks. To our surprise we ended up splitting the orders ourselves . He was prompt though with everything else, will not be returning to said location though.“

“My only comment for improvement is regarding the unfriendly hostess on August 14.“

“Can’t believe it took so long to find this place! The pizza and pasta had an amazing combination of flavors! The drinks were perfect and generous pours. The service with Rosie Zoe and Brooklyn exemplary. The bar and atmosphere are so very cool. COME SEE WHAT YOU ARE MISSING OUT ON! Sorry, we forgot photos of the food!“

“THE BEST dinner we’ve had in the past three years! The cauliflower appetizer, the romaine salad, and sea bass main course were outstanding! The service was perfect, and the ambiance and decor were terrific. Congrats to Michael and his team. A+“

“Family fav for years!! Best pizza and salad around“

“Stuffed squash blossom, delicious!! Did not get the margarita had a different cheese pizza with garlic can’t remember the name. It was great except 2 slices had no cheese. Will definitely be back but need more cheese!!“

“Great food, fair prices, friendly vibes.“

“Well established restaurant only open from 5-9 pm so get your reservations in or you will miss out on the quaint ambiance and phenomenal service that is a staple here. Salads are crisp and fresh and the bread is warm and tasty. Chicken Parmesan is a large portion and crisp, with a tangy sauce and plenty of cheese. Seafood linguini was good and filled with lots of seafood. Tiramisu was moist , flavorful and loved the addition of fresh fruit on top.“

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Pictured below is the Gonzo calzone- Salami, dates, spinach, garlic herb cheese, mozzarella, mascarpone-ricotta blend, and garlic oil with garlic butter on the side. My husband looked at me like I was crazy when I read off dates but the slight sweetness against all of that savory is what made it!! We also tried the Fatty B, Meat me in St Louie, Magic Carpet Ride, and the Gyro. They were all amazing but the Gonzo and the Gyro were my favorites. The Magic Carpet Ride is also a must try if you're into mushrooms.“

“Good food and very professional staff“

“Fantastic food & incredible service made our 24th wedding anniversary celebration memorable.“

“It was a truly spectacular experience from start to finish. While the ambiance is beautiful and the food consistently outstanding, what truly made our evening was our server, Simona. Simona was the definition of professionalism and personalized care. She greeted us with a warm, genuine smile and was incredibly knowledgeable about the entire menu and the excellent wine list. Her recommendations were spot-on! What impressed us most was Simona's attention to detail. Our water glasses were always full, courses were timed perfectly. It's this level of thoughtful service that elevates a great meal into a truly memorable event. Simona went above and beyond to ensure we felt like VIPs. We can't recommend Il Bel Lago enough. We will certainly be back!“

“We love Viviano’s, great for lunch or dinner, great happy hours! The mushroom Brie soup is wonderful! And the workers are super sweet ❤️“

“Wow! Their food was AMAZING. It was so fresh and so tasty. The Italian dip was so good! Probably one of the best ones I’ve ever had. The pizza and toasted ravs were so good as well, perfect amount of crispiness and flavor. The star of the show though, THE CANNOLI was amazing! It was crispy, and I wish I had 12 of them if I am being honest. Initially I was a little concerned about the price of our order, but after trying it, it was 100% worth it. I will be back and I’ll be counting the days until I can have that perfect cannoli again.

The service was great, i came into to pick my order up and i was in and out in 2 mins, the cashier even held the door for me when i carried out my pizza.

If you’re thinking about it - just do it. Come in and grab some amazing food.“

“We had carryout catering from Vincenzo’s for an event we hosted, and it was amazing! The customer service truly elevated the entire experience. We can’t thank them enough for taking care of us and providing such a delicious meal!“

“Best food and kindest people!“

“Great food all the way around. Pizza is delicious. Dominic knows how to run a restaurant. I watched this crew worked their tails off while we were sitting there waiting for our food. This place runs like a smooth machine. Everybody works together there.“

“Cannoli Cake is 🤤😋delicious“

“The food is delicious and consistent. I love the calzones and the salad.“

“Pastaria is one of favorite Niche properties. It’s approachable, fun, easy to get a rez at, and a great place to take clients, friends, or significant others. The bread service is great, the appetizers are delicious, and the birthday cake dessert is one of my favorites.“

“Excellent food and service“

“Amazing pizza! Best lasagna! Great staff! 5 Stars!“

“me and my boyfriend came here for our anniversary dinner and absolutely loved it!! our server was very kind and helpful. our food was served quickly and was delicious. we loved everything about our experience! special shoutout to the worker that was happy to take our picture before we left!“

“I arrived here around 2:50pm with my sons to grab some lunch. We are visiting STL from out of state. It wasn’t busy and we were the only ones there. I ordered around 3pm. We got the feliz navidad calzone, 5 piece pepperoni basil bites, and the taste two (calzone and buffalo chicken bites).

All the food came at 3:15pm. I was expecting the bites to come out first. This was the experience at a different location we tried 2 days prior.

Nonetheless, the food was just as delicious! It was made fresh. The mini is the perfect size. I got a regular size last time and I only ate half and took the other half home. My teen son (big appetite) couldn’t even finish the regular sized one. We ate at this establishment twice during our vacation, so that should tell you how good it was! If it was up to my teen, we would’ve eaten there a 3rd time! The food is great.

As a side note, After ordering and bringing the food, interaction with staff was very limited.“

“Fantastic food, great as always“

“Late dinner - we were in the mood for something Italian - food is fabulous - we choose lasagna and risotto - both dishes were yummy and plenty left over for lunch tomorrow - FYI: Their salad are the best!! Kayla and the house staff were fabulous as well… we will be back soon…“

“We had a wonderful time here Friday night. The people were friendly and welcoming and the food was delicious. I had a house salad and the veal fontina. My father had the steamed mussels and veal Marsala. The entrees were served quickly and came out very hot. I will definitely be back.“

“We were here on Valentine’s Day for dinner. The food was delicious, but even more impressive was the service. The place was packed but everyone working had a smile on their face and was so pleasant and friendly while working hard. Thank you for en enjoyable meal. We will be back!“

“The Crossing Restaurant did a remarkable job the other evening when we dined there. We had impeccable service and outstanding food. I loved being able to do the four course meal with some of the specials. It was wonderful to see the dining room full in this well-established restaurant in the heart of Clayton. I remember being wowwed when I first dined at The Crossing 25 years ago and it is still just as fabulous! We cannot wait to return.“

“We had a fantastic visit! Corey was our server and he was outstanding. The pace of the meal was perfect and the ambiance was lovely. The food!!!!! We had the cheesy garlic bread - a MUST every time we visit. We also had the beef stroganoff special. It was PERFECTION! We were very excited to hear it was that nights special as we have had in the past and we're hoping to have again. It really needs to be a permanent item on the menu (Hint! Hint!). We finished dinner with crème brulee and it was delicious. Highly recommend Gittos Hollywood Casino location. You won't be disappointed!“

“We were in St Peter’s Mo. and were going to go to Olive Garden for my Wife’s birthday, when I told our clerk at the hotel she said she would recommend the Pasta House over the Olive Garden. We went and had supper. Everything we had was great better than the other place. We took desert back to the room and it was great. I would recommend to anybody.“

“Gioia’s Winghaven is our go to for sandwiches! Always get the order correct, always timely service, always wonderful customer service, always delicious! The only complaint is I can’t have them on Sunday! :( We’ve tried to go back to other sandwich shops on a Sunday and it never compares to Gioia’s. You’ve raised the bar so much, now everyone else is a disappointment.“

“True NY style pizza right here in STL. Yay!“

“It was such a great time! Food excellent, wine even better and the atmosphere was so awesome. Low lighting just a great vibe“

“Our rehearsal dinner was perfect thanks to Concetta’s - Caitlin is so great to work with! The food was outstanding, service was seamless, and everything was handled with care and professionalism. The Cajun chicken pasta and the salad dressing are incredible and were popular with our crowd. Can’t wait to work with Concetta’s again in the future. Highly recommend!“

“Did not send any plates or utensils with catering order.“

“I used live in Mississippi and I would drive up from Mississippi just to get Faraci pizza and I liked all of their pizzas and salad. All of Faraci’s food on their menu was yummy. That I live in the lake of the Ozarks it’s a lot closer for me and I would drive up and order pizzas And bring them back. The Faraci special, the hamburger bacon, and the pepperoni and pineapple or my favorites but I will eat just about anything from that restaurant. Prices are reasonable and if you don’t think they are, that’s not faraci fault , that’s is JB fault.“

“Pizza and pasta was delicioso!“

“LOVE! We had their pizza for the first time today and it's so good. The crust is perfectly crunchy, topped with delicious fresh ingredients! If you're from St. Louis, this will make you very nostalgic of the old St. Louis style pizzerias ❤️ The owners are AMAZING family people. 10/10“

“Pan's fine dining, and elegant ambiance keep us coming back, year after year!♥️🥰♥️“

“We have been coming to this Pasta House for over 25 years and our visit tonight was just perfect. Pre pandemic, we often ate every Friday and the restaurant was always busy with everyone really enjoying their dining experience. During pandemic we just got carry out and have just started eating in once again. The service, friendliness of the staff and food was just like it was before COVID-19. Congratulations on weathering the storm and continuing to provide excellent dining experiences.“

“Great place! Will definitely be coming back“

“Right down the street from my house and one of my main go tos. The food is always awesome. Love the gyros, wings and shawarma. Staff/owners are great people. Can’t recommend those place enough!“

“When I walked in, I realized the place was packed, but we were hoping the wait wasn't too long, they quoted 45 minutes, which was a little too long for us. There was 5 of us and we decided to sit at the bar. And I'm sure glad we did. We had a bartender, I forgot her name, but she had purple hair, she was the absolute best. Not only did she make amazing drinks, she made sure our food came out right and hot. She also entertained us the whole time we were there, by engaging in conversations. You don't see that very much these days. If there was a word better than perfect, that's how I would describe it. I'll definitely be sitting at the bar more often.“

“Celebrated our grandson's 11th birthday at Bugatti's. Sarah (I believe I'm correct) was our main waitress. When she found out it was a child's birthday she came with balloons to put on the table to make it festive. She gave us (a party of 9) a great table kind of off by itself. The food was served hot and was very good. They had special child sized steaks with fries. The wait staff was very patient and attentive and made us feel welcome even though with three 11 year olds it got a little boisterous at times. We enjoyed our food and birthday gathering. Thank you.“

“Great meal today. A chef salad with THE BEST dressing. We try to make it here every time we’re in the area. ❤️ Always enjoy my meal no matter the choice.“
