Italian Restaurants near Lake Saint Louis

“Outstandingly service. Bar tenders are fantastic. Very regulars focused.They do monthly off menu wine dinners. Bring your own wine bottle, corking fee applies. Reserve bar tables OR bar seats for live entertainment.Parking: Parking CAN be an issue. It is stripmall parking so prime time parking can be a bit congested.“

“We catered Stef’s in Lake St. Louis for our wedding and they were absolutely amazing! Alex was so friendly and helpful with the ordering process, how much food we needed based on the number of guests, and dropping off the food at the venue. Alex went above and beyond helping us set up the food at our tables at the venue and helped way beyond what was expected when dinner was served.The price of the food was also extremely reasonable for a 160+ people wedding. I would 100% recommend this location of Stef’s for any catering needs. Thank you so much for everything!“

“We tried 3 different calzones from the menu and they were all amazing. Hot fresh bread surrounded melty cheese and luscious ingredients like chicken, ham, sausage, and veggies. We tried the "Meat me in St. Louie," "the Duke," and the "Which came first" and also got a Caesar salad. The food was great. Glasses for self service water elevated the experience. Staff were pleasant and helpful. Restrooms were very clean.“

“We've eaten at Stefanina's in Wentzville several times, and this was our first time eating at Stefanina's in O'Fallon. Same menu, same great quality food and service. The pizza was excellent and the tutta mare pasta was very good too. We got great service at reasonable pricing and would definitely come back again.Parking: The restaurant has its own parking lot and there's also a parking lot between the restaurant and the gas station.Kid-friendliness: Kids are always welcome here.Wheelchair accessibility: The restaurant and the parking lot are both on the ground floor.“

“I enjoy going here to eat. While not entirely true to native Italian food, the spirit of the cuisine is captured. The salad was excellent and the pasta e fagioli was close enough.. No, it is not as good as Mama Shivoni's, but close enough. I enjoyed it immensely.“

“I came through drive-thru earlier today and the drivethru girl was very delightful and told me to have a delicious day! Gave me a laugh ?she was funny and kinda and super quick with my order her nametag was written in pink and she had glasses “

“Wentzville Stephanina's. Ordered for delivery on a Saturday. We had several family size pizzas for a birthday party and a gluten free too. All were delivered hot and fresh. Gluten free pizza was very tasty and had no issues. We enjoyed and thanks for a great experience!Dietary restrictions: Gluten free was great!“

“We went tonight for the first time! First off, so great to have a nice resteraunt and non-chain in O'Fallon! Food was great, service was great and loved the ambiance! Always love supporting local! This will definitely be one of our regular places! Looking forward to going back soon!“

“Looked a little questionable from the outside, but once inside, it is very cozy and nicely decorated. Attentive staff were professional and friendly. Owner had the music way too loud and staff quickly remedied this. Food was delicious and visually appealing.“

“We just had my mother-in-law's birthday party here in the banquet room. Wonderful service and delicious food. Katherine was a fabulous waitress. Highly recommend going to CJs. We picked from Lasagna, baked mostaccioli, chicken bruschetta pasta and baked chicken carbonara. House dressing on the combination salad is fabulous. Thank you for making her party a success. It did not have a spot to check these delicious dishes to highly recommend.“

“Just tried it for the first time because I had a gift card come in the mail. I’m not a big pizza fan but I am a fan of free. I was more than pleasantly surprised at how much I loved this pizza. The gift card was for a large thin crust cheese pizza but I paid the difference to add topping and make it a pan crust. I had beef and bacon and man oh man was it delicious. I now have a pizza spot. 10/10 will be eating here again and trying the different specialties they have. The person who helped me at the counter was super nice and helpful too.“

“Interestingly enough I came here to buy a car and instead had the best thin crust pepperoni pizza I've ever had. The owner is also one of the nicest people I've met in a long time. Highly recommend stopping by to try their pizza for yourself“

“I would put Donatelli's Italian food up against any in the St. Louis area....even restaurants on "The Hill" ! We have been going for years and have always had fantastic food. Also, a great piano bar with live music (check their website). You can have a gourmet lunch with a drink, salad, entree and fresh hot Italian bread for under $15. Compare that to a fastfood burger meal (yech!) for over $10. Professional, friendly wait staff. Great for special occasions or just an informal lunch/dinner.“

“We went here tonight for a birthday celebration. We have been wanting to try this place for awhile. After the most current reviews I was a little worried about trying it but we decided to anyway. I'm so glad we did. Everything was exceptional!!!! We were seated with minutes of arriving. Got drinks right away. Our waitress Sierra was fabulous!!! She was patient while we took our time deciding what we wanted. She was very attentive. Never had to ask for a refill. Our food was amazing!!! There was 6 of us and everyone enjoyed their meal. I definitely recommend this place.“

“$5 cheese pizza on Mondays...don't mind if I do! They have a wood fire pizza oven and it was good. Nothing special for my first visit...next time I will get some toppings, probably a margherita pizza. The ordering process at the counter was quick and easy. Too bad their link to order online wasn't working.“

“Take out order was perfect! Love every dish ordered including baked mostaccioli and garlic bread tasted wonderful. We love the red sauce. The restaurant was very busy when we picked it up but the order was still completed on time and the staff friendly.“

“It's one of our favorite places to go. We have tried many of the items on the menu, and all of them are good. The pizza and salad have to be our favorites. We have been going to Pirrone's for years now. It is one of the best Italian restaurants we have found. Service is always great. The restaurant is always clean. The employees are always friendly. The food is always delicious. If you are in the area, it's worth the stop.“

“LOVE massas, their food is great as well as their service. the bartenders sure know how to make a drink! I love to come on thursdays when they have live music. i have one critique.. have your hostess stop seating me at dirty tables. the last 2 times i've been there i've been sat at a table that has plates, napkins and all kinds of shit. if that gets fixed everything else is great!“
