49 Best Italian Restaurants near Saint Charles

“Delicious food and great atmosphere.“

“Last Sunday, Oct. 13, my wife and I stopped in at Massa's in St. Charles.. We did not have a good experience and I left an unfavorable review. Management reached out with a reply, apologizing and then asked to give them a 2nd chance. Normally I don't return to to places that left a bad impression. However after receiving the management's reply we decided to try it again today Oct 20. We were seated and placed our order to our waiter Owen. We spoke nothing about our previous experience to anyone until after our meal was served and eaten. We then explained to Owen that we were invited to return by management. He summoned manager Maggie and we spoke to her of our previous experience. She was informed that the first review would be deleted and a second one will be written. The service was excellent as well as the food. The atmosphere was great as well. Let me suggest MASSA'S in St. Charles. I would suspect their business will only grow so, if you want to beat the crowds then go there soon. Thank you staff at MASSA'S.“

“Great food, great waitress Jamie!“

“Celebrated our grandson's 11th birthday at Bugatti's. Sarah (I believe I'm correct) was our main waitress. When she found out it was a child's birthday she came with balloons to put on the table to make it festive. She gave us (a party of 9) a great table kind of off by itself. The food was served hot and was very good. They had special child sized steaks with fries. The wait staff was very patient and attentive and made us feel welcome even though with three 11 year olds it got a little boisterous at times. We enjoyed our food and birthday gathering. Thank you.“

“Fantastic dinner at Paul Manno’s, possibly one of the best Italian restaurants in St. Louis. I felt like i had been transported straight to Italy for dinner. Ambiance 10/10. Definitely make a reservation, they fill up fast!

We got the lasagna and rack of lamb. Lasagna was fantastic, as expected. I was slightly hesitant in ordering the lamb, just because I had never had it. It did not disappoint! Melted in my mouth and the hints of lemon were delicious.

For dessert, tiramisu of course. Very good and light tiramisu , not too chocolately or overpowering. Perfect tiramisu texture.

In conclusion, if you’ve never been here and are contemplating, GO! ?“

“What an amazing restaurant. The staff is brilliant with Dylan - Dillon - Dillan ( not sure on spelling) behind the bar making spectacular drinks. Sit at the bar if you can and spend a night with him.

The food app’s pizza was incredible. London thanks for taking the time to talk to us Thursday night. What a great restaurant!“

“My 30th Christmas Eve dinner at Erio’s and my sons 2nd. We love it here! Always great food. Always a great atmosphere. Always feels like we’re home for Christmas!“

“Excellent food, service and people. We had a terrific dinner there last night with friends. The halibut was fabulous, the Benedetto farfalle with pink sauce was yummy! We will be going back.“

“Thank you sauce on the side Wentzville for great customer service. I appreciate you guys going above and beyond during my last visit. due to the nature of my order takes a little longer to make. You’re so kind to offer a free soda while I waited. Something so small can make a visit and await so pleasant. Thank you for helping me work through my order“

“This was our first time at the restaurant and it was absolutely one of the best meals I have had and I long, long time! The calzones were absolutely delicious and enormous compared to the price- far away, one of the best value meals you can get.“

“This Restaurant is a 10 star being the best...Sue was so polite and very courteous....she greeted us on entering waited on us and brought our food out.....She is an asset to your company ..will be back tons of times“

“I am a loyal customer at all the Lombardo family restaurants, but this location is the best for when you are traveling. I usually call ahead to place an order before or after flying out of the airport and take it to-go because the restaurant is conveniently located across the street from Lambert airport. They have a spacious parking lot and the interior is very nice and upscale (yet not “stuffy”). The food is always cooked to perfection and made fresh with the highest quality ingredients, whether it is a pasta dish, steak, or seafood entree. They are well-known for their homemade toasted ravioli and rightfully so - it is the best in St. Louis! Their caesar salad is to die for and they make their own in-house salad dressings. Oh, and their portions are very generous! Pro tip: call ahead and place a to-go order if you are flying in/out of Lambert but are short on time!“

“We love Viviano’s, great for lunch or dinner, great happy hours! The mushroom Brie soup is wonderful! And the workers are super sweet ❤️“

“EVERYTIME, I've ordered from this place, and they ensure the order is 100%. The one time my online order said it would be longer than it was (the app made the pickup time of an hour) they not only gave me the meal for free but ensured the food was remade and not just sitting there. They value customer service.“

“We had a great anniversary dinner!“

“We had come here previously, and the service made us not want to return. We are so pleased that we did! Philip our server was so kind to us and took amazing care of us! He got us seated when other staff had wanted to move us and make us wait. We had a party of 6 pretty late, and he still provided excellent service! Thank you so much Philip! You are so kind.“

“Always fast, friendly service! The food is amazing! Definitely a stop every time in St Louis, MO!“

“Love love loved the service and food at this location! Our host and waitress were beyond hospitalible, and the manager even came to check in on us a couple of times to ensure our dining experience was amazing. The lunch special was delectable and we enjoyed every bite of our fresh food. We came in to celebrate my father's birthday and they made it a memorable one, even giving us a dessert on the house!“

“Highly recommend for a bite to eat!“

“me and my boyfriend came here for our anniversary dinner and absolutely loved it!! our server was very kind and helpful. our food was served quickly and was delicious. we loved everything about our experience! special shoutout to the worker that was happy to take our picture before we left!“

“We had sandwiches and a charcuterie board catered for everyone to eat prior to my sister’s wedding ceremony on October 18, 2024. Everything was delicious and the charcuterie board was a BIG hit!“

“Food is very good. Love the casual vibe. I had the Rustic salad and the breadsticks while my dinner companions had the shrimp bruschetta pasta. All were delicious!“

“One of the best places for food and entertainment. All rolled into one cream of the crop bands, played here happy atmosphere, great staff, fantastic, caring owners I love this place.“

“I want to start by saying I LOVE GIOIA'S.... However they did something today that is totally wrong. I had placed a four sandwich order with work colleagues. My order was a roast beef sami with AU JUS... with out the AU JUS the sandwich is dry and not very desirable. It was delivered by door dash and the AU JUS was forgotten. I asked for a refund and was told that they are not able to do this as the AU JUS is complimentary. WTF is that !!! You guys are better than this and I would expect for you to make right on a mess up that YOU made. I think it will be a while before I order with my colleagues from Gioias. Its a shame because we were going there at least once a week.“

“Last night we hosted my friend’s 70th BD party at the ‘Old’ Place Massa’s in Bridgeton with 12 of his family and best childhood friends. It was SO special as they all grew up near and had great memories here. Well, it was the most delightful evening ever! Mike (manager), MaryAnn (I hope I have the right name) and ALL the wait staff were so kind, friendly, and helpful … we felt like they became family too! AND THE FOOD! Never disappoints! We all ordered a variety but my pizza rocked. The drinks and appetizers didn’t disappoint-LOVE the spinach dip. Someone got their steak specialty dish and we all were jealous… it melted in your mouth. From beginning to end, it was the perfect night! And the staff and food made it GREAT! Thank you all so much!!“

“We came here for lunch with a big group. As soon as we walked in with a table for 8, another group of 6 immediately came in and behind them was a group of 9 or 10. With it being lunch time, they had a small staff. The host and the waitress welcomed everyone in with smiling faces and pushed tables around to make room for all parties. The kitchen got our food out quickly and we were all very satisfied with our meals. They have a great staff and I am very happy we chose Babbo’s for our lunch!“

“My friend and I had an enjoyable dining experience at Charlie Gitto's. I ordered the wedge salad with blue cheese dressing. The lettuce is cold and crisp with chopped tomatoes and bacon. My entree was the lasagna, best in town in my opinion. Red and white sauces over a full serving of a combination of meat & cheese. All served with fresh baked Italian bread. The servers are friendly and attentive.“

“Excellent quality of food. Great service and nice ambiance.“

“Pasta House catered our wedding, and they did an amazing job!!! They made the whole day a breeze! The food was delicious and we had plenty of leftovers!!! My husband and I wanted ice cream for dessert. They placed the order with Ted Drewes, picked it up, and brought it to the venue. They even let my baker bring the cake to them the day of, and they handled it from there. The bar was awesome!! The drinks were delicious and ll the staff from serves to bartenders were so friendly! Our wedding was at the World's Fair Pavillion which has some stricted guidelines/rules which we were worried about. Pasta House took care of all of it and didn't let us worry once about it. They were a dream to work with and I would recommend them to everyone for a delicious and stress free wedding or event!!!“

“The absolute BEST NY style pizza in the county.“

“Had my rehearsal dinner here and everyone raved about the food. They made sure the evening was perfect!“

“Cozy outdoor seating with small to-go ordering. In the perfect location for a work lunch. Ordered the Italian Trio, the vinegar and oil I was hesitant about but it tasted so good! Also got the giant chocolate chip cookie which was *chefs kiss* “

“I have been coming to this Restaurant since I was a little kid. It was our Saturday evening tradition with lots of Family. As an adult the Pizza is still Amazing! The staff is wonderful and some of the best around. I would highly recommend this Establishment to anyone. The pizza is my favorite, but the entire menu is Delicious.“

“Terrible service from EJ. He never checked to see how our food was, not once, after salad or entree. The food was okay. Parmesan would have helped maybe. We had to ask for more water. We had a gift card from our kids to use, but EJ said the internet was down and we couldn't use it. We asked for a manager, and he said he was the manager, which is really surprising considering the lack of service we received. He finally took the gift card off of our bill. He was not a good server or manager in our opinion. Bus boy was pretty good. We would not recommend this place. EJ shouldn't be serving!! We still gave him a 15% tip, which was more than deserved. Usually, we give much more.“

“We will NOT patronize this location: PET POLICY?

We have been patronizing Olive Garden for over 30 years, and have always enjoyed the experience.

Unfortunately, on our last visit, one customer actually brought a medium sized dog (not a service dog) into the table area of the restaurant near other patrons, placed it in her lap, and proceeded to stroke it, sending hair airborne in the eating area of others.

I inquired to the Management as to whether this was allowed, and I was told that they "cannot tell a customer that they are not allowed to bring ANIMALS into the restaurant."

I asked about the sanitation, allergies, etc. concerns of other customers, and I got no reply.

We will ask about this policy when we are invited to eat at Olive Garden, and if this policy is in all of their restaurants, we will NOT be patronizing the Olive Garden franchise any longer.

Dietary restrictions: Inform your Waiter/Waitress.“

“Great place! Will definitely be coming back“

“The food is absolutely delicious! They have in-store seating. We had to wait awhile for our food, but I think it's because we got there when several of the cooks were on lunch break. Their gyro burger is delicious, and the tzatziki is fresh and flavorful.

Vegetarian options: They have several falafel dishes, all of which looked super yummy.“

“Feels like a family restaurant inside (am I back in the wholesome part of the 90s? I think so). Staff always makes me feel welcome and are always helpful when I need it. 10/10 do recommend.

Vegetarian options: Primarily cheese based products for vegetarian. Request salads without meat.“

“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.“

“The Pasta House Company really is the best. I usually put my order in hours ahead of time to pick up on my way to work. I got notice this day that I didn’t have to come in. I called and spoke with management told what was up and they cancelled my order no problem. Thank you. I will definitely be back in“

“We all know in real estate that it's all about: Location, Location, Location. But here at this Imo's, 421 Mid Rivers Drive, Saint Peters, Mo. 63376, it's all about: Kayla, Kayla, Kayla!!! It's wonderful to have an employee who excels at every aspect of the business. Customer service, Preparation of the pizzas and managing any issues that may come about. Definitely management material. 5 Stars all the time!“

“Robert enthusiastically greeted us upon our arrival. He is very personable and professional. We were impressed with his pizza ingredient knowledge, regarding all the different kinds. Our all meat. Pizza was piping hot and delicious! The ingredients were obviously fresh. Both bathrooms were clean. The floor and the tables were spotless, awaiting their next guests. It was quite apparent to us that Robert was genuinely invested in our Jets pizza dining experience.“

“Hasan is not just a bartender; he's an experience curator. From the moment you step up to the bar, Hasan's warm smile and expert mixology skills set the tone for an unforgettable evening. His cocktails are a work of art, each one crafted with precision and flair. But what truly sets Hasan apart is his ability to make every guest feel welcomed and valued. Whether you're a regular or a first-timer, Hasan's friendly demeanor and genuine interest in your enjoyment make every visit a pleasure. If you're looking for a top-notch bartender who goes above and beyond to make your night special, look no further than Hasan.“

“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.“

“Very good. Food was hot and fresh. The guy running the counter and answering the phones and working in the kitchen was killing it. Not sure if he’s a manger or not but he should be. He was awesome and juggling so many phone calls and walk ins. Thanks guys“
