IL Palato Italian Restaurant

the service was horrendous. took 10 minutes for the waiter to come to our table and ask for drinks. He never served bread, when food was served I asked for another beer with dinner and he never brought it. he dropped off the check and never came back to complete the service. We had to leave the table and search for him. He gave an excuse that he was the only one to work the floor. He wasn't courteous and showed no desire to be of assistance. Food was ok. If you expect attentive service be cautious coming here.

We ordered the funghi, aragosta, and tonno crudo. Five stars all around— the food, service, and overall atmosphere made for a perfect valentines dinner date :)

Dined on the patio for dinner. Food was lovely. We had the zucchini, veal meatballs, pizza, sea bass, and ravioli. Lovely server and the restaurant was very accommodating to our late reservation request.

My favorite Italian Restaurant in St. Louis. When family and friends from out of town visit, it is my go to restaurant. Cozy, comfortable, sophisticated superb cuisine and exceptional service.

If it was the last restaurant standing in Clayton I would go hungry. Employees were not educated to know the menu. They also did not tell me the hours they were open, serving, or offering carry out. I can see why their other restaurant closed, maybe they will have the same luck here and close for good.

If you're looking for old world Italian, stop looking. Everything looks amazing but I could barely finish the Aeagosta with the freshest bread. All I can say is marone. It's a little hard to find but worth the the look. You'll be happy you did

I had the salmon special with crab risotto and it was fabulous! We always enjoy Il Palato—the salmon was truly exceptional. Thank you!

Waiter was exceptional and attentive. We all loved the dishes we selected. Definitely go back. Really enjoyed our experience

We especially like the atmosphere. I think when you go to dinner, it's not just the food which is of course the most important thing, but also the ambience this is a really quiet and elegantly space.

That foods it’s excelent!! 🔥🔥

All about it. From the greeting to the last bite just a great time with wonderful food. It's got a family feel that's fun.

Our waiter Jack did a fabulous job . He gave us time to enjoy our cocktails before ordering dinner. Our food was delicious as always. Loved seeing how busy the restaurant was too. It's a beautiful space to have dinner at!

Dined with two friends on a Saturday night. Ordered the fish special x 2, lobster ravioli dish, plus salads for each of us. Food was phenomenal! Enjoyed the cocktails and wine (recommend the Italian margarita) but after dinner espresso martinis were pretty average. Service was great throughout the meal (7:30 reservation) but we had the bill brought to our table without prompting around 9:00 after our after dinner drinks had just arrived. From then on, we felt rushed to leave and didn't have any follow up from our server despite water glasses being empty. We left about 9:30 as the other parties were getting up to leave. I checked the hours after arriving home and realized they close at 9. The rush makes sense now, I just didn't expect them to close so early on a Saturday with reservations up until 8:00 available. Great food and overall service, will return when we can eat a bit earlier!

Food was just ok. Service was completely inattentive. Waters were not refilled without us asking. Drinks were not refilled without us asking. In town for the Twins and Cardinals game and wish we would have ventured for an authentic meal. Would not return.

Great service , ambience and value . Staff was very attentive. Prices are very reasonable for a nice Italian restaurant
