“Great food and service. Waiter made some excellent suggestions, including said we could split a salad - which was plenty. If you’re old, it was a touch dark, but part of the ambiance. Will go again. For app, main, wine glass, dessert will be ~$100 per person. It was great. It does fill, so make a reservation.“

“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.“

“It was a truly spectacular experience from start to finish. While the ambiance is beautiful and the food consistently outstanding, what truly made our evening was our server, Simona. Simona was the definition of professionalism and personalized care. She greeted us with a warm, genuine smile and was incredibly knowledgeable about the entire menu and the excellent wine list. Her recommendations were spot-on! What impressed us most was Simona's attention to detail. Our water glasses were always full, courses were timed perfectly. It's this level of thoughtful service that elevates a great meal into a truly memorable event. Simona went above and beyond to ensure we felt like VIPs. We can't recommend Il Bel Lago enough. We will certainly be back!“

“Service was great and friendly, they brought our food really fast. I didn't even take a picture of the food cause I wanted to try it right away, it was SO good! I tried the pistachio ravioli and will definitely come back to try the oven handmade pizza.“

“Excellent gluten‑free calzones at Sauce on the Side

We ordered three gluten‑free calzones- the Roasty Toasty, the Magic Carpet Ride, and the Meat Me in St. Louie, and every one of them was outstanding. The gluten‑free bread was chewy, flavorful, and genuinely delicious, which is rare to find with gluten‑free options, especially anything in the pizza family.

Each calzone had its own personality, packed with rich, well‑balanced flavors and plenty of filling. It made for a satisfying meal all around, and it’s clear they put real care into their gluten‑free offerings.

A great spot for creative calzones and truly impressive gluten‑free dough. I’d absolutely go back.“

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

“Excellent food and service“

“Food is amazing, atmosphere is very nice, service staff are wonderful! Recommend the asparagus & prosciutto, pistachio goat cheese, bruschetta, their antipasti plates are all good! Also the house mixed greens is fresh and delicious, and they have amazing pastas and entrees. Our favorites are the Ragu alla Bolognese, fettuccine tres amici, tortellini with cream, the salmon is the best ever, and their steaks are fantastic. And you have to have an espresso martini. Definitely recommend. Sit on the patio if it’s nice out, it’s beautiful.“

“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 not been to Dominic‘s in a while and was so pleasantly surprised. I left after one of the most delicious, least satisfying meals, fantastic service, and ambience I had experienced in quite a while. This place is now on my monthly rotation.“

“Robin and I ate here Friday night (5/3). We were immediately seated outdoors in the lovely courtyard, flanked by a large, ivy covered wall. Every bite we had from the salad, Brussels Sprouts, Burrata, Wild Mushroom Risotto, and their award winning Amaretto Pie was better than the last. It truly tasted like Italy and has our wholehearted recommendation!“

“Gioia’s Winghaven is our go to for sandwiches! Always get the order correct, always timely service, always wonderful customer service, always delicious! The only complaint is I can’t have them on Sunday! :( We’ve tried to go back to other sandwich shops on a Sunday and it never compares to Gioia’s. You’ve raised the bar so much, now everyone else is a disappointment.“

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

“Did not send any plates or utensils with catering order.“

“Great place! Will definitely be coming back“

“Our rehearsal dinner was perfect thanks to Concetta’s - Caitlin is so great to work with! The food was outstanding, service was seamless, and everything was handled with care and professionalism. The Cajun chicken pasta and the salad dressing are incredible and were popular with our crowd. Can’t wait to work with Concetta’s again in the future. Highly recommend!“

“love the pizza, spaghetti, John's hot sauce!! we'll everything is fantastic!“

“My friend is an actual chef, classically trained and has spent a year in Italy. We shared the seafood risotto and the special: a blackened Chilean sea bass on mushroom risotto. Oh my God.

Neither of us expected this to be as unbelievably good as it was! The seafood risotto was the perfect texture and the shaved Parmesan gave the occasional pop of extra flavor. Scallops and shrimp were juicy, clams and mussels were good but the stock used was key. The sea bass was THE BEST I'VE EVER EATEN across any cuisine, anywhere (Boston, Miami, all of SoCal, or Honolulu) and the mushroom risotto was the best risotto.

We will both come back with our significant others to have this again, this was unbelievable.“

“Pizza and pasta was delicioso!“

“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.“

“Angelo’s….Always smothered in toppings and absolutely fantastic !!!“

“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.“

“Right down the street from my house and one of my main go tos. The food is always awesome. Love the gyros, wings and shawarma. Staff/owners are great people. Can’t recommend those place enough!“

“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.“

“This was my first visit to Jet pizza. I ordered via phone with their AI system. That's was very easy process. I was looking for a thicker crust and they had hand tossed and Detroit style crust. I got the hand tossed, wish I would have got the Detroit style. It looked better in the pictures on the menu.
Once I got there I was greeted quickly. My pizza was ready within a few minutes of my arrival. The guy I dealt with was very helpful.
After I got the pizza home it was just ok. Now that's me, there was nothing wrong. Other than I personally didn't care for it. I will try it again. I want to try their Detroit style crust.“

“Great meal today. A chef salad with THE BEST dressing. We try to make it here every time we’re in the area. ❤️ Always enjoy my meal no matter the choice.“

“OMG, what a great find. Food was fantastic, had tortellini with peas & prosciutto & chicken parmigiana, both had great flavor. Christian, the bartender, was our server and he was absolutely fantastic. He was on top of everything and treated us so well, you'd be lucky to have him wait on you. Highly recommend Vito's.“

“Amazing food! A staple in the community for so many years.“

“Had a wonderful experience at Olive Garden in Bridgeton! Our server, Taylor, was absolutely amazing! She was incredibly friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed throughout our visit. Her positive attitude and excellent customer service made our dining experience even better. She truly went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and comfortable. Olive Garden is lucky to have someone like Taylor on their team. Thank you, Taylor, for the outstanding service! We’ll definitely be back!“

“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.“

“Great food. Awesome appetizers!“

“This is THE BEST Imos location, the people that work there are always awesome, the food is always cooked to perfection, and we've been ordering from this store for 4 years now. Pricey, yes, but SOOOOO WORTH it at this location!!!! The delivery guy tonight was our usual driver and AS USUAL, quick friendly and on point!! Thank you guys for being the BEST Imos in the area!!!“

“Only two things to complain about if you order over the phone the last two times I ordered thick crust pan I got regular crust and its always busy 😁. This is my go-to pizza place I love the crust I love the sauce love the cheese as long as it's fresh n hot its 🔥.
I know a lot of people are used to just getting one topping pizzas here but I guarantee if you get one that's got three or five toppings on it it may just surprise you..🔥😁 delicious.“

“One of the best IMOs locations. Everything I ordered was perfect. The gentleman that took my order this evening was so nice and friendly, I didn’t catch his name. He made sure everything I asked for specifically ( mainly my extra crackers for my salad and dressing) I received! Very pleased with service and food!“

“I have frequently dined, had delivered, and carried out fron this location. It has had its ups and downs, but I noticed a significant change in September 2021. I believe they took on complete new management. I have been fortunate enough to be dealing with Matt for at least a year now and I always thought he should have been the one that should be running this location. I have been a customer here for 10 years and it's always been a mess. Matt did something different. I believe they brought Dan in as the GM and made Matt the AM. Things changed for the better. Apparently Dan left and Matt stepped into the GM position. Im not sure what happened, but Matt was the best thing that happened to this place. Its my understanding that upper management drove him out do to psychological abuse. I will say as a diehard customer Matt did leave a solid legacy. I always enjoyed Fernando. There were days it was Matt and Fernado, and those guys were on point. Im very pleased to see Fernando in a management position. I would hope that he would be considered for the GM position in the near future. Over the years I have unfortunately noticed the turn of management in this establishment, and there seems to be a common denominator. I have never been able to get a answer from any of the management over the years but from what I can collect it seems to me that they are micro managed and not given the tools to succeed. That is why I will no longer patronize this location or any other Imos that is part of this franchise. It's to bad. I don't know who to contact, but if you are reading this, you either own the place, or are the DM or RM. It really doesn't matter. I have a 17 year old daughter that really wanted to get a job with you and I won't let her. I would have left her in Matt's hands, no worries. Matt was there everyday, everytime. Then he is gone? Through the grapevine I hear there is a District manager that appears to be a bit of a cancer in this franchise. Can anyone fill me in on any information on this matter? Does anyone know where Matt is? If anyone is in contact with him please tell him thank you for years of fantastic service. I hope you have found happiness God bless. John B“

“I love Imo's and this is the best location and I'm coming all the way from Colorado, absolutely delicious. This time I switched it up and got bacon and Canadian bacon, and extra cheese, and it was the best. I've ever had. It was worth the wait.“
