Without a doubt, one of my favorite spots in St. Louis.Parking: There is a paid parking lot, and upon leaving, the gate was open, and our parking was free.Kid-friendliness: Lots of family with children dining. Plenty of space between tables for a personal feeling atmosphere.

So, I strolled over from the St. Louis Grand Marriott to grab a bite, craving some appetizers. I opted for the Sicilian Garlic Cheese Bread and the toasted ravioli. Let me tell you, the ravioli was absolutely fantastic! The garlic cheese bread was tasty too, but it just couldn't compare to the ravioli—it was like watching a junior high football team play against the NFL's best. The staff were so friendly, and the fact that they serve sweet tea here speaks volumes. Coming all the way from Houston, Texas, I felt like I was right at home. I seriously can't sing enough praises about that ravioli.

We haven't been to one of these in a decade at least. It was nostalgic for us, so keep that in mind. We enjoyed this place. It was the first relaxing real sit down place we'd been to here. The intro soup was fine, the meatball was just ok. The cheese bread was great. The wine was good, too. The meal was great. I still love that mizithra cheese pasta. My son liked it too, mostly anyway. The inside is comfortable. The waiter was fine. The spumoni is still good. Definitely go here.

The wait was long and the staff at check in was very unfriendly. I got the only vegan item on the menu which was spaghetti with marinara sauce and my husband got lasagna. Both items were very underwhelming. The red sauce was so bland and tasted like something out of a can. I was very disappointed for a $17 plate of spaghetti to taste so bad! And the salad was literally a small handful of an iceberg salad bag. We will not be going to any spaghetti factory again. The location is kind of nice down by the Arch, but just go see the arch and skip this place.Vegetarian options: Only one vegan option.

This place is amazing! From the exceptional staff, eye-catching location to the great food. They were very busy and even though it was later at night, they were still working very hard to give everyone that exceptional service. Would love to come back again.

Food was great! Our server was awesome. She was basically running our side of the restaurant with three large parties by herself and didn’t miss a beat.

What a treat! I'd love to come back for the prix fix on Mondays.You get a really good portion of food complete with dessert. The spumoni ice cream was lovely.We split a chicken parmesan and out soon had Mac and cheese. The fresh baked bread was lovely. We left full and happy.It's always nice to find a kid friendly place with good adult food options.

We made reservations, it wasn't super busy when we went. We had a great waiter named Chad he was very outgoing anf welcoming. Food was amazing! Atmosphere was great! He checked in on us, and made sure we had what we needed. My husband tried the 3 flavor ice cream and he really liked it! I suggest trying the cotton candy limeade it's amazing! Highly recommend going!!!Also if you are staying at hotel not far I would walk! We are staying Drury down by the Arch, walked 15 mins, beats paying 25$ parking!Kid-friendliness: They get ice cream with their meals!

The food options were limited and it wasn’t good. For that much money we should get fresh cheese with our pasta. Fazoli’s is better. The waiter was rude from the start.

This is our favorite family dinner spot when we come to St. Louis. The place is timeless, unique, just like you remembered it being 40 years ago. Great menu, and value.

The quality of the food has gone way down over the years. The service was horrible, to say the least.
