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

“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.“

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!“

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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Pizza and pasta was delicioso!“

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

“The food is really good and always hot the new calabrian steak, shrimp and bucatini was got the steak was delicious got the soup with it me and my brother loved it and the chicken and shrimp carbonara was good and hot like always my mom loves getting it also just love the shrimp in it with salad my sister got the ravioli carbonara and she just love how good the ravioli where good in it also with a salad the appetizers were good also good we got the meatballs parmigiana, shrimp fritto misto and the spinach artichoke dip all where good it took forever for the spinach artichoke dip to come out but it was good in all love coming here 😊👍😁“

“When I walked in, I realized the place was packed, but we were hoping the wait wasn't too long, they quoted 45 minutes, which was a little too long for us. There was 5 of us and we decided to sit at the bar. And I'm sure glad we did. We had a bartender, I forgot her name, but she had purple hair, she was the absolute best. Not only did she make amazing drinks, she made sure our food came out right and hot. She also entertained us the whole time we were there, by engaging in conversations. You don't see that very much these days. If there was a word better than perfect, that's how I would describe it. I'll definitely be sitting at the bar more often.“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“We had a party of 10 that went in for post graduation drinks. We sat at the bar and let me tell you, those were the best seats in the house!! “G” was the bartender and he was on point! Drinks were fantastic and he created such a a celebratory vibe going for us!! They picked a great guy to be there!! Vito’s, he’s a keeper!!! Can’t wait to go back to STL and visit our guy “ G”!! You’re the best!“

“I had trouble ordering a gluten pizza on line. When I went in to order one, they were very helpful with the app. The gluten free crust is really good! Thingng is you can only order a small. Still delicious! The one drawback for me was it was a little salty. I don't normally eat alot of salt.“

“Ii had a negative experience a couple weeks a go and left a review. I went in today and the experience was a complete 180.the man behind the counter was quick and courteous. He also brought up my past review and asked me to elaborate a little further . He apologized, reassured me that things have or will be dealt with, and gave great customer service. Not to mention the food today was phenomenal. 10/10 experience.“

“Great food. Awesome appetizers!“

“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!“

“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!!!“

“Went to music on main tonight. Had the best time. Bre’s $4 martinis and million dollar smile made it unforgettable. Truly a one of a kind person. She has a personality that doesn’t take any shit from anyone combined with a soft side that makes you feel warm and welcomed. Expect laughs, charm, charisma, and always a story about traveling. Will definitely be in every Wednesday from here on out!“

“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“
