“We had a party of 6 on Saturday night. Great service. Outstanding food had by everyone. A few in the party ordered the Lasagna after they were out of Ossobuco. They loved the Lasagna, the Chicken Risotto was one of the best I ever had, although I modified it by adding mushrooms. We did start out with appetizers and the Roasted Wild Mushroom app and Toasted Ravoli were incredible. Highly recommend this place.“

“Great food, fair prices, friendly vibes.“

“We have traditionally gone to Bartolino’s South County. When they opened the one in West County we were very happy because it’s close to home as well as a very nice place to have dinner or lunch.. We have had dinner there several times And each time the food has been great and the service excellent. Very nice courteous professional people tonight we had Michell as our attendant and she did an excellent job. The atmosphere is very nice yet very comfortable business casual. Prices are not cheap, but considering what you get they’re fair. We will continue to go to Bartolino‘s, and we consider it one of our favorites for a good Italian.“

“Okay so why does nobody do fast food Italian?

I almost never write fast food reviews but these folks were so friendly and we were so surprised by the value that a review seemed absolutely required, hard plastic benches and all.

Fazoli's was new to me, but they are a chain that seems ubiquitous in the Midwest. They mostly offer Italian style food to go. This is much faster than a traditional Italian experience (and wasn't the food quality we experienced on the hill) but it was definitely good food for an exceptional price. We both ordered spaghetti one with meatballs one with meat sauce, our order came with breadsticks also and the total food cost was less than we paid for our coffee earlier in the morning.

The folks at this specific store overheard the discussion about not having been there before and were exceptionally friendly and engaging.

If you are a local you probably know all about these and likely have strong opinions one way or the other, if you haven't seen this before though you have to give it a try.“

“I had the best experience ordering 4/1/26.
I ordered a gluten free calzone on DoorDash and added steak to it. They called me and said hey just letting you know the steak marinade has soy and we wanted to make sure that’s okay. I told them it was not and I asked if they had another protein, they did and I added that and all is well“

“Great restaurant. Great service and food.“

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

“We recently moved “locally” and Our trying out new restaurants. I was pleasantly surprised with “A’mis” Took Our four kids there for lunch today. The ENTIRE dining area was full, yet the short staffed staff did not miss a beat. Drinks filled, food brought out, they did forget silverware but They were SO busy and also so on top of it! Truly impressed as a former server and hostess back in the day. My kids finished the cheese sticks in less than 5 minutes. The fettuccini was amazing, and so was the New York style pizza. The house dressing is good as well. On top of that the wait staff was so friendly and kind to Us. You sometimes sadly get dirty looks bringing 4 kids under 13 into a restaurants alone, even if they are well behaved! We will be back!!! Thank-You!“

“DELICIOUS 🤤 we will be back in town next month and SO excited to dine here again!!“

“Good food and very professional staff“

“In from out of town and had dinner at bar. 10 regulars filed in and I was suddenly a “regular”. I had delicious wine, Caesar salad and pasta with grilled chicken. I chose safe (again delicious) but the specials of the night included elk sausage and catfish.“

“Best food and kindest people!“

“Bartolinos South is our favorite nice restaurant. Not only is the food consistently wonderful but they always work to please you. We celebrate all special occasions there. Recently we reserved their front room which holds a max of 16, I believe. They went out of their way to make the setting perfect (even bringing in a small table for our use). Our waiter, Karen, was discreet in providing us perfect service without interrupting our shared conversation/memories as we were toasting a dear friend on her birthday. I can’t say enough about how flawless they made our luncheon. Bartolinos will remain our favorite not only for the quality of the food but for their personal attention.“

“We ate there for the first time tonight and I can’t say enough great things about this place! We had our son who is a little over 1 with us. Mom and dad just trying to have a date night and the owner and our waitress went above and beyond! The owner was so sweet and generous just making it feel like home and our waitress was so attentive and on top of that the food was absolutely amazing!!! We will definitely be back! ❤️“

“great place to eat , friendly atmosphere, toasted ravioli and salads are the best .“

“Thanks for the OVER PRICED BLOODY WINGS! 🤮🤮🤮“

“They went out of their way to make a pokeball sandwich for my sons 4th birthday! It turned out amazing!! Thank you so much Pomodoro’s!“

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

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 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.“

“I was in the area looking for a nice meal for lunch at work. I stumbled across Sauce on the Side. I ordered one of the choices of Calzone. Later, after I bit into the sandwich for the first time, I knew it was a hit. Everything about it was perfect. I also ordered a salad. OMG... lettuce and meat everywhere throughout the salad. It was fresh and quite tasty. I was so satisfied after eating my lunch that I know I'll be visiting Sauce on the Side again and again.“

“so insanely good. we visited from kansas city and upon seeing photos we KNEW we had to stop here, and we definitely made the right choice. the food was incredible, the decor and vibe inside were so gorgeous and comfy, and carried lots of deli goods im not able to find at home! our server, Carolyn, was the absolute sweetest ever. she made sure we were well taken care of and had the best recommendations. I would make the four hour drive back just for her!!“

“This was my first time eating here. The food was amazing and the staff was super friendly and helpful! Just an all around wonderful experience!“

“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.“

“Cannoli Cake is 🤤😋delicious“

“I had the Spinach lunch salad which was very large (my husband didn’t think I would finish it). It was supposed to have feta cheese, bacon and candied pecans on top. I was very surprised at the large amounts of these add-ins. I expected about half the amount they gave me. The spinach was perfectly dressed, not too much and not too little dressing, just a silky coating on the greens. My spinach salad looked even better than the photo posted by Carol Boss.
My husband had spaghetti and meatballs. He ordered a dinner portion, which was very large. He admitted that he should have gotten the lunch portion. We brought home one of the two large meatballs with lots of spaghetti. Fifteen years ago, he worked in Webster Groves and would go to this restaurant for special occasions. I asked him if the spaghetti was as good as he remembered and he said yes.
The music was all old time Italian classics with singers like Frank Sinatra and Nat King Cole. I knew the words to all of the songs.“

“Great service. Delicious food.“

“My Son and I like to go on Mondays to the Woods Mill location. Alyssa is our regular server. She’s exceptional!! Great service consistently. Food is always exceptional! I’ve been going to this establishment for decades!!“

“Got dinner last night with the family, and our waitress Mariah was fantastic! Our 2 little girls just adored her! Of course we got the fried cheese which is always top tier! The pasta was fantastic and my kids both enjoyed their food. It’s always nice to eat somewhere and the staff treat you like family. Will definitely be back another only because the food was good but because the staff is amazing!“

“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…“

“I was at Pasta House today with a group. Our server was excellent and greeter was pleasant! My side House Salad was delicious… the way I remember as I haven’t been in a long time and rolls delish as well. However my Chicken Breast was terrible and honestly should be taken off the Menu. I’m actually shocked that they let it go out of the kitchen as were the ladies sitting near me. The chicken breast had obviously been cut in half, so was very thin and dry with burnt pieces on it and was hard to cut and chew. I tried 2 bites and then asked to get another one which my group was about done so I only took one bite and took the rest home. I just tried eating it for dinner and although it was a tiny bit better than the first one, it was still dry and inedible so I made myself a sandwich instead. The side pasta I brought home also wasn’t good. I really do not like to do bad reviews but I spent $15 on this mostly inedible meal and thought others should know Thank you!“

“We stopped by here for dinner after work while in town. The service was so good - the staff was super attentive. The food was delightful!

We got a drink, salad & lobster ravioli. It was soft & filled to perfection. The veggies in the dish matched!

We walked here from our hotel - it’s perfect for the area in Clayton.“

“Pizza was cooked perfect and the crust was delicious!“

“We came and Darryl assisted us with our party we were planning, he was amazing! He answered any questions I had about the menu and catering. He was very patient and polite. Thanks for making our party amazing. We recommend 10/10 every time! Food was PHONOMINAL! Can't wait til our next event! Thanks Candicci's“
