So very sorry to find out that you’ve permanently closed. Have been a long term customer for many years both personally and professionally. In fact, recently purchased gift certificates and was not made aware that you’d be closing 45 days later leaving us with gift certificates that are no longer good. Appears that the “silent close” was done on purpose. Shame on Mark Cusumano for handling the closing in this manner. Very sad state of affairs.

Happy hour from 4:30 to 6:30.Very happy with the happy hour prices.The serving size put a smile on my face and price was easy on the wallet.

The food, plating, staff, and experience were top notch! The portions were massive and tasty, and I highly recommend this restaurant for special occasions as they will make your night great!

We use to go when they were down town, it was amazing. The toasted ravioli was hand made and the best ever. The new place has 1/2 the menu. The tastes raves are home made but I am guessing run there a machine because they were all the same size. I ordered the pork tenderloin. It was ok. Ok at best I would describe everything we got besides the check as forgettable. When the check came there was a happy hour advertisement at the bottom for 7.50 appetizers I asked why our raves were 17.00. I was told it was only for the main room not the room they sat us in. What a shame it use to be such a great place to eat I didn't mind dropping 100$ a person once or even twice a year. It's now forgettable both food and atmosphere

I received a Kemoll's gift card for my birthday last month and decided to use it tonight for dinner. I went to their website to place a pickup order but discovered you can't pay online with a gift card, so my husband called for takeout. The food was fantastic. Here's the problem...my online order, with tax, came to $84. The total in the restaurant? $114. Almost 25% higher! My husband asked about the discrepancy and was told we were looking at "DoorDash pricing". Since when has DoorDash been cheaper than ordering directly from the restaurant itself, and why would you not honor the pricing when asked about it? We enjoyed the food very much but the experience as a whole was a negative one. I'm ONLY giving a 2-star review because of the price discrepancy. The food deserves 5-stars, especially the toasted ravioli.

Such a nice an intimate place. The night we went they had two men playing the violin and piano. So beautiful! Our waitress was amazing and the food was so good. My fiancé ordered steak and I got pasta.

We were excited to try Kemoll’s for our anniversary and very disappointed. Unfortunately, we won’t be recommending this restaurant to anyone. There are much better options in St. Louis.The atmosphere isn’t trendy and very much a small room you are dining in. It would be much better if they opened the walls to the bar area for a more open space. The vibe was old, cramped and musty. Ambience is part of the fine dining experience and this place doesn’t have it.Calamari was delicious but we also ordered the fried artichoke that seemed like it was fried bar food. Presentation was poor and lacked flavor.Cesar salad was good but would opt for no artichoke (not the best).My husband ordered a side of asparagus that came out charred and dry. We were actually shocked they allowed it to come out that way.I ordered the lobster ravioli and was expecting a brandy cream sauce per the menu and I received a heavy red sauce with some cream. It looked and tasted like Ragu sauce mixed with cream sauce.If you are going to spend money, the expectation is that everything should be exquisite for a high end meal.Fleming’s, any other Italian place on the Hill, Twisted Tree, Bristol’s are ALL better options!

Great food and service! Menu is attractive and not complicated. We'll return for sure!

Sat at the bar during a work trip and my bartender/waitress was incredible! Gave great recommendations and was fully attentive. Manager offered a free dessert cocktail which was unexpected but truly appreciated! I felt like family here. Great atmosphere and highly recommend!

The Filet Mignon was amazing. The Scalloped Potatoes for a side dish was huge. You need only order one for every two people. The service was amazing. We waited for nothing at all. We will definitely be back.
Took my stepmother here for her birthday. Good for a special occasion. Got discounted gift cards at Costco. Definitely a good idea, because it's pricey. Entrees are big enough to share, but the appetizers were so good, I think the next time we go, we will just do appetizers and desserts. (Skip the entrees, not needed.) Gratuity can't be put on the gift cards. FYI.

Outstanding food first time at this location as good now as they were on Grand in the 70's. Wife on dairy free diet so she ordered shrimp dinner and it was incredible. Thanks for an evening to remember

We wanted to take our kids to a nice Italian restaurant. There was no seating available for Paul Manno so we ended up going to this restaurant. I normally don't like to go to Westport Plaza due to its parking. Once you park, you need to walk a distance to your restaurant. The restaurant wasn't too busy. It had a nice decor and good ambience. Staff was courteous. I ordered a sautéed shrimp scampi and was confused the noodle would come with shrimp. They were nice enough to add noodle into my entrée even though it was not included. The food was ok with this price range. There were plenty of Italian restaurants in St Louis. With this price, I would recommend Paul Manno or Charlie Gitto instead.

This is truly a legit upscale Italian steakhouse! Place has great vibe, food is big city in a small Westport village outside at Louis! Must try if you know quality ingredients and culinary! Thanks to the team and back of house! It’s like speakeasy food… liked it a lot. John at the bar has things under control
