50 Best Italian Restaurants near Bridgeton

“This Restaurant is a 10 star being the best...Sue was so polite and very courteous....she greeted us on entering waited on us and brought our food out.....She is an asset to your company ..will be back tons of times“

“They are consistent with their food, and all staff seems to love working there.“

“Played a lot of oldies music, reminded me of my grandmother. The entree and the main meal were definitely good, though I felt the salad was lacking. Then again, I'm used to salads that don't just use 90% iceburg lettuce that has pretty much zero nutritional value. I use a spring variety mix with spinach, so a lot more fiber, and darker leafings. No real issues other than the salad, really.“

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

“Just flew to St. Louis from Atlanta with my husband and came here straight from the airport. We were lucky enough to get last minute reservations and oh my God, so glad we did. We had the most amazing service and food. Corinne was our waitress and she was just OUTSTANDING and SO sweet!!! She felt like a friend since the start of the dinner. Honestly every single person here was so generous. The other waiter kept checking on us as well and even the women by the door when you first walk in! I can’t wait to come back the next time I’m home :)“

“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+“

“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.“

“The staff has our hearts, the food has our bellies! All around an extraordinary experience for myself and my family visiting in from IL. Thanks so much to your excellent team at Fratelli’s! We’ll most certainly be back and refer others to forego the experience. We are thankful for you all! Best, -Kasey“

“Paul Manno’s is the one thing I miss more than the Cardinals baseball games since retiring in 2004. I took my brother there a few years before that, and he said it was the best Italian he had anywhere in the country, and he traveled a lot. I always recommended Paul’s whenever new people came in our flower shop, and EVERYONE agreed with my brother and me. I hounded Gourmet Magazine until they reviewed them. Good enough for MNF Aikman, Buck & Collingsworth! My number one choice in the country.“

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

“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.“

“Good food and very professional staff“

“We had a great anniversary dinner!“

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

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 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.“

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

“Best food and kindest people!“

“Cannoli Cake is 🤤😋delicious“

“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!“

“Fantastic food, great as always“

“I was recently in the Clayton, MO area for a work trip and decided to try this place out for lunch with a colleague since it was walking distance from my company’s corporate office… I was definitely not disappointed. The food was excellent!

The two very good things that this place gets it right with their calzones are that their crusts are just perfect (not to thick, not thin, not too bread like) and just has the right amount of cheese. A lot of places tend to over do it with the amount of cheese they stick in the calzone to the point that all you really taste is just the cheese and no longer the crust or the other fillings.

The entire staff was friendly and the service was quick. They also have a wide selection of both alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages. The place was also very clean which is always a very big plus. They also had a good selection of salads which I will definitely try when I’m back in the area.“

“Excellent food and service“

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

“Our first time here and we will be back ASAP! Excellent service from Gretchen! She was amazing! Burrata was incredible. We split the aglilo de olio and the roman pizza and both were fantastic! All wine we had was top notch! Fantastic place!!“

“We celebrated our 40 th anniversary last week. We also celebrated our 1 st anniversary at their restaurant on the hill. Wow how time flies. To manage a consistent product every evening over a long time period is a credit to Dominic, Jackie and the entire crew. It's so hard to be good every night. The food is original recipe.... not all the fad items. Quality ingredients prepared with care by people you enjoy their careers. Appetizers were delicious....salads were chilled an looked terrific on the plates....dinners were served hot from the kitchen..... the servers knew where the correct item was to be served. No need to ask... who gets this item. Plates were removed when finished by an attentive assistant and water glasses were filled several times. Server knew the menu well and made solid recommendations. What could have been better..... well after dinner the owner stopped by the table to say hello and check on our experience.... that made it perfect! We also got to say hello to his wife Jackie. Treat yourself to an original Italian meal in Clayton. Thank you Amy and Marvin for a wonderful evening.“

“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!“

“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…“

“Haven't been back to St. Louis for awhile and knew we needed to go to The Crossing for dinner. Jim Fiala and his team hits it out of the park in every way. 3 courses paired with wine and each spot on. Last time there we brought our own wine as it was a special bottle. No problem as long as it wasn't on their list and the wine cellar is extensive. If you want an extraordinary dining experience please go.“

“We love Sauci because it’s fast, casual and DELICIOUS 🤤🇮🇹 Not surprised it was named @stlouismag’s A-List “Best New Restaurant” Award 🏆 The team from @fratellis_ristorante opened this restaurant so you already know it’s good. Brothers Adam and Ben grew up in their family’s restaurant, Fratelli’s, (St. Charles County favorite) 👨‍🍳 Unlike most places, the pasta isn’t premade and scooped from a bowl. They make their pasta fresh in house every single day and then they cook it to order in right in front of you 🍝 Build your own bowl with your favorite sauce and protein OR try one of their composed dishes like lasagna deconstructed 🔥 MY FAVORITE! 🇮🇹“

“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.“

“We ordered a couple different sandwiches.. including the ORIGINAL… and holy smokes!! The ORIGINAL HOT SALAMI.. STOP! Right there .. unbelievable.. we also had the Meatball, and the Italian Trio.. but I’m trying every thing on the menu! 13 STARS“

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

“This Italian restaurant is something that is worth trying no matter if you are staying at the casino or not! It is by far some of the best Italian food in St. Louis...probably even the state of Missouri! The service, cocktails, and food are always fantastic! Make a reservation!“

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

“Had my rehearsal dinner here and everyone raved about the food. They made sure the evening was perfect!“

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

“Great place! Will definitely be coming back“

“Gioia's has several locations around St. Louis, yet this is my favorite. Tucked in to the business park area between Dorrsett and Page it provides a quick and delicious lunch option for several of the businesses in the area. The online or counter ordering is prime when I feel the need for a sandwich. If you feel like dinning uder the awning there's a few picnic tables. Keep up the great work!“

“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.“

“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“

“Pizza and pasta was delicioso!“

“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.“

“Robert enthusiastically greeted us upon our arrival. He is very personable and professional. We were impressed with his pizza ingredient knowledge, regarding all the different kinds. Our all meat. Pizza was piping hot and delicious! The ingredients were obviously fresh. Both bathrooms were clean. The floor and the tables were spotless, awaiting their next guests. It was quite apparent to us that Robert was genuinely invested in our Jets pizza dining experience.“

“I was in St. Louis, tried pizza in this place, the wait, the service and a lot of positivity from the people who work there. One of the best pizzas served in St. Louis is located at this address. I recommend this place to everyone, and special thanks to the manager Anthony and the pizza makers Colin and Rachel, and everyone else.“

“A very good experience; enjoyed the fried appetizers; fries and falafel.. The team are really cheerful and friendly 😍“
