41 Best Italian Restaurants near Cottleville

“We came in on a Thursday, with a reservation for 6. They were ready and waiting for us, complete with the high chair we requested for our little one. The staff were so friendly and helpful. There was a rehearsal dinner celebration going on so the place/atmosphere was very lively and fun, but our service was not neglected. Our food was amazing!! The meatballs were definitely the best I have had and I’m very picky about my meatballs. Garlic shrimp rigatoni was awesome, lasagna delicious. We had pumpkin cheesecake that was phenomenal. We had another dessert called a Pizookie that was blueberry lemon and was sort of like a cookie and a pie/cobbler. It was amazing. We all left very full and very happy, with plans to return for dinner again soon, as well as trying out their brunch. Go check it out.“

“Everything!!!Great dinner, drinks and atmosphere! Bartenders are on point!“

“Best Italian restaurant in St Louis! Period!!! I cant wait to go again and again with my wife and life partner, i need to try everything on the menu. LOL. It is hard to get a reservation but it is absolutely worth the wait MAMMMA MIA enjoyyyy“

“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“

“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!!“

“Servers and their assistants were friendly, professional and helpful. All the food and drinks were excellent. We had several courses. Everything was beautifully seasoned, never bland or heavy handed with the salt! The sauces were delicate and exciting and were not too much or too overpowering. One off the best Italians restaurants and one of the best overall. We’ll be back and bring our friends.“

“First time diners! We were welcomed immediately by a friendly staff. The atmosphere was quaint and inviting. The food was flawless and the service exemplary. Joe and Diane were extremely good to us. We will be back! Thank you for an amazing meal!“

“Dining at Mia Sorella was a great experience. The service is wonderful and everyone seems genuine and friendly. All the food tastes fresh and made with quality ingredients.“

“Tony and family always make you feel like family. From his table side presence and his beautiful mother leading an amazing team in the kitchen. Anthony our server was great and knowledgeable of all the dishes. We started with the calamari and fried spinach and a perfectly spiced marinara sauce. We each had the separate salads I had the Italian chop salad, and my girl had the Caprese salad both were absolutely amazing. I had the Benedetto's Farfalle with spicy pink sauce and added shrimp 🤌we also had the perfectly cooked and breaded Chicken Spiedini served over risotto. Timing is everything when you have multiple dishes everything was perfectly prepared.. 🤌🤌🤌🍷“

“We stopped in on a whim and so glad we did. My husband had the deep-fried cannolinia with special sauce and I had a Steph special pizza with traditional cheese and they were both delicious 🤤😋 The only thing that made it better was the Italian cannoli for dessert! Thanks Patty for explaining everything and helping us figure it all out 😁“

“I did an online order. You guys deserve a kiss on the cheek frl. Remembered my red pepper flakes and parmesan, gave me a bunch of it. The alfredo is on point!! Mushrooms and broccoli made to perfection!!! Lovely cheesecake, like how you put strawberry sauce on the side.

Love love love“

“The large salads are large. My rookie mistake was ordering a large salad and a calzone. It was too much food. I ordered the fatty B and it was fantastic. I usually don't enjoy canzone because the crust is hard pizza crust. Not so at sauce on the side. The crust is almost pastry tezture.
Fountain drinks are so carbonated that you can taste the CO2. The only issue. Customer service was ourstanding.“

“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.“

“I've taken groups to Massa's many of times but I've never eaten there( not any location). I must be crazy the food was as close to perfect as perfect can get. The wings especially, they were meaty & cooked to perfection not cooked so hard to were I couldn't eat them like at other restaurants. Pizza,salad, & wings were all good. Can't wait to try other items. Massa's has my vote! Thank you for the good food“

“Great food, great waitress Jamie!“

“Had a large party reserved and had some of the best service from our waiter Freddy than we have in years anywhere else. He was incredibly attentive, thorough and kind.“

“We’ve been here twice and both times service and food were excellent. May be my new favorite restaurant in this area. Highly recommend!“

“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!“

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 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.“

“We are extremely pleased with Ami’s Catering of our family wedding. Ami’s Catering was the best decision! Consider their catering for your parties, showers, banquets, holidays, a weekend meal or weekday lunch or dinner. Planning the wedding reception with Shabi, Ami and their staff was enjoyable, delicious as we sampled the menu and they worked with us on details. PROS: Communication, tasting appointment, menu choices, customization, pricing, service, set-up, delivery, hot-food, delicious, savory, and everything about this family restaurant!! We have eaten at both locations, yet we are usually closer to O’fallon location. Carry-out at O’fallon is a favorite. Pizza variety, famous salad, their house dressing, hot rolls, garlic bread, chicken meals are savory and pastas are all top notch!! Check out their menu, so many choices!!“

“I ordered curbside. They forgot my calamari. Went in to get it. Someone came up to check my bag as if I just hadn't checked it in the car. Mgt agreed I hadn't gotten it. Specifically Jen was SUPER NICE and empathetic. She did what she could do to give me a better experience than I was having. A smile and kind words go FAR. Thanks Jen. You're a gem.“

“I was all set to write a bad review, but then we had dinner and very good service. I had the chicken and shrimp carbonara . It was delicious and cooked perfectly.
Our servers Isaac and Amanda, couldn’t have taken better care of us. They anticipated our every need without being asked. We were with a big group and Isaac was our primary server. If a request was made, it was met immediately .
The only negative I have was that we were with a big group (20 Or so) and they would not take a reservation so we ended up waiting 45 minutes to be seated.“

“Fantastic food, great as always“

“We went because I remember going to a restaurant they had many years ago on St Charles Rock Rd. The food was as good as I remember. Everyone loved what they had. We will definitely be going back.“

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

“First, the service was great! Dude was doing everything and helpful. The food was pretty great, fries were oddly extremely good. I got the Italian dip and it was tasty. My buddy got the Sal's burger and it was massive! I highly recommend Salvatore's!“

“10/10 would recommend! Especially for hosting an event! We had a pretty decent sized (35) celebration here a few weekends ago & it was perfect. We ordered food ahead of time, brought in some decorations and the staff was incredibly kind (shout out to Matt, Chelsea, Ali & Todd!) throughout the entire process. The food & drinks were great & affordable. The heated patio was amazing. Will definitely be hosting here again in the future and visiting for dinner until then. Food recommendations: Toasted Ravioli, Chicken Bacon Salad & Fettuccine Alfredo. So good!“

“Candicci’s catered our wedding, and it was everything we hoped for and more! We heard tons of praise from guests saying it’s the best food they’ve ever had at a wedding! Every single dish was delicious, and the portions were generous. Every guest was full and happy! Jeff was super responsive, communicative, and easy to work with. They gave us a free tasting before we booked so we knew exactly what we’d be getting. The whole catering team was professional and accommodating, especially with dietary restrictions. They were also very affordable! I cannot recommend Candicci’s enough!“

“Best lunch special pizza & salad I have ever eaten. Pizza was excellent! Young man behind the counter was very helpful & friendly. Stef's pizza has become our go to pizza effective today, 9/18/23.“

“The absolute BEST NY style pizza in the county.“

“Probably the best experience at a restaurant we’ve ever had. Ethan, the waiter, was personable, accommodating, and friendly! Food was exceptional as well!“

““Deeelicious” according to the kids! Came for the summer reading coupons, but will definitely be back!“

“Excellent quality of food. Great service and nice ambiance.“

“Absolutely delicious!! Love the focaccia bread“

“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.“

“I stopped by imo's pizza recently, and I have to say—it was one of the best pizza experiences I’ve had in a long time.

First, the pizza was absolutely top-notch. I ordered the sweet heat, and it was a perfect blend of flavors.

But what made the visit even better was the service, especially from the manager, megan. From the moment I walked in, they were welcoming, attentive, and clearly passionate about their work.

Great food is important—but great people are what bring you back. This place has both.“

“Our waiter, Mike, was personable and quick. The food was good and hot. Loved the cream the chef added to the Manhattan clam chowder.“

“Husband said “How about Pasta House?”
My favorite of all time.
Our last experience at this location was not good however we decided to give it another try this evening.
Our server was amazing, food was great.
All in all we were very satisfied.
So after a bad review previously, thought I would give them a nice compliment!
Good Job Pasta House!“

“Great Gluten Free Pizza and loved the salads . Why did you guys remove yourself from Doordash??? We ordered from there all the time because we live in st Peter’s .“

“This location successfully gets the crust crispy, even with conveyer ovens!

The addition of Pepsi zero fountain soda is nice, but will someone please tell Pepsi they always need to include Diet Dr. Pepper.

This location is right next to a fast EV charger as well.“

“Finally got got to try the legendary Pirrone's Pizzeria Florissant while playing a great gig at Bunkers Tavern yesterday! 😊🍕💥 Awesome pizza with thin crispy crust and they use provel cheese! 💚 RECOMMENDED! 👍“
