“Beth was the most amazing waitress I've ever had in an establishment! She went above and beyond for everything. I never had to ask for any refills or anything. Very attentive and she actually enjoyed serving us. Such a lovely lady and made our night perfect! Thank you so much for this wonderful experience Beth! I recommend asking for Beth if you come here on weekends!“

“I had dinner w friends for my birthday. The waiter, Jordan, was great. Food was great! Sound level at 7 pm was over the top, and the piped in music just made it even harder to talk. I hope they do something for this problem: it’s an acoustic issue, and easily fixed if they consulted someone.“

“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.“

“First time at Failoni’s yesterday. Had pasta and marinara (I know, not very daring). The marinara can stand on its own. Wonderful. Loved the ambiance, neighborhood vibe. We were made to feel welcome right away. Was with two friends and we will be back!!“

Many Thanks to the owners and staff!! A special Thank to the Chef and his work of art with the tasty Valentine's dinner!!“

“LOVE Mia Sorellas. Amazing dinner, delicious cocktails and A+ atmosphere! Added to my favorite spots list.“

“great food and hearty portions 👍definitely recommend“

“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.“

“Great restaurant. Great service and food.“

“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!“

“Best dinner we’ve had in a long time. The “trio” appetizer was awesome, salads were great and our main courses were incredible. Will definitely come back again!“

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

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

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

“Good food and very professional staff“

“This is a great stop on the way back home from a day trip! Calzones were flat out amazing, except someone was in the bathroom the whole time… So they only have single person bathrooms. The staff was friendly and attentive would recommend five stars.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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! ❤️“

“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 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.“

“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.“

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

“Cannoli Cake is 🤤😋delicious“

“Returned after a couple of years. I think it's still a good place for a casual meal, certainly we spent a third of normal. The food was good. The bread remains a standout. My Aperol Spritz was awesome! Our server was very attentive with a bright smile and happy attitude. We were seated at the old Sardella side which brought back nostalgic memories. We don't eat nearly as much as we used to, appetizers have to be shared or none, if we're having salad. During our meal a lady came to our table with a bowl of brussels sprouts. She said it was something free from the kitchen for us to try. We found it strange that no other table got one. Brussel sprouts aren't something we eat or ever order. She left before we could speak. We felt bad because it was a very gracious gesture wasted on us. We did taste one. They were very good, if you like them and they don't tear up you GI system.“

“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!“

“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.“

“Vangel’s is the most exceptional meal out we have had in a long time. Soft music, soft lighting, great choices for drinks and hearty menu items make for a memorable night out. Louie the owner made us feel at home on our first, but not last visit to Vangels. Thank you for the hospitality and great experience all around. Tracy“

“AMAZING FOOD AND SERVICE!!!“

“The best pizza I’ve had in the entire St. Louis area. Great food.“

“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 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.“

“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!“

“Great service. Delicious food.“
