Remarkably yummy Italian joint near Maryland Heights. They have a massive pizza oven and their dough tastes like it's made from truly Italian 00 flour - thin, crispy and delicious. The pasta is pretty special, too.

This place is incredible, and I understand why making a reservation is such a hassle.

When we arrived at our designated time, we were promptly seated and greeted by our server, Erica. She was incredibly friendly and helpful, suggesting dishes that we might enjoy the most during our visit. For our first course, we had risotto balls accompanied by a refreshing salad. Both dishes were bursting with fresh flavors and textures.

For our second course, we indulged in a delightful brick oven pizza topped with pasta. After savoring both courses, we never felt bloated, as all the ingredients were imported from Italy and tasted absolutely divine. It was as if we were on an Italian vacation, dining at a restaurant.

To top off our meal, we enjoyed cannolis and gelato, accompanied by a refreshing Americano coffee. These desserts were incredibly refreshing and satisfying.

What truly set this place apart was the ambiance, the thoughtful gesture of providing separate silverware for each course, and Erica’s exceptional ability to engage us in meaningful conversations.

This place is absolutely worth the wait. You won’t find food like this anywhere else, unless you visit Italy. I highly recommend it; as an Italian myself, it reminded me of my Nonna’s cooking.

Arrivederci e a presto!

Omg, delicious

We started with the Arancini as an appetizer — delicious! The Tonarelli crab pasta was the highlight, absolutely great. The pork shank was good, though not as memorable, and the burrata pizza was very tasty. We’ll definitely be back.

It’s not too hard to reserve a table if you’re flexible with the time. The only minor downside is the parking — we parked on the side of the restaurant, and the angle of the parking lines makes it tricky to get out when it’s full, but we managed!

Also, I liked the cat-themed wall decor in the restroom😂

After months of trying to snag a reservation, I finally made it to Noto in St. Peters — and it was absolutely worth the wait.

Noto is one of fewer than 1,000 pizzerias in the world certified by the Associazione Verace Pizza Napoletana, which means everything here is done to the highest standard of authentic Neapolitan pizza. They use imported Italian flour, San Marzano tomatoes, fresh house-made mozzarella, and bake their pizzas in a 900° wood-fired oven from Italy. The crust is soft, chewy, and perfectly blistered — exactly how it should be.

I ordered the sausage pizza, which was rich, savory, and had just the right amount of spice. For an appetizer, I had the roasted carrots topped with shredded cheese and nuts — they were flavorful, beautifully roasted, and definitely a standout. I also enjoyed a couple of their craft cocktails, which were fresh, balanced, and delicious.

The atmosphere is warm and inviting, with the smell of fresh dough in the air, cozy lighting, and a lively energy that makes you feel like you’ve slipped away to Naples for the evening. Service was friendly and knowledgeable, and the pacing of the meal was perfect.

If you’re a pizza lover, this place belongs on your must-try list. Book well in advance, because once you experience it, you’ll understand why it’s so hard to get in.

Hands down one of, if not the best restaurants around the area. Make sure to book reservations, you will not be disappointed. They are a bit pricey and we make this a birthday, anniversary kinda place that a table of 2 can easily drop $100 in for one meal. Butttttt, in my humble opinion it is worth it

Definitely the best restaurant in St. Charles county. I love the variety of the menu and, of course, the wood fire pizza.

My husband reserved for my birthday with a month of anticipation. It was a real Italian type of pizza. It was not the best pizza you ever have. But it was good. 👍🏽 the service was excellent: our server was kind, attentive, but not intrusive. Drinks were good as well. The pannacotta super tasty! Great place to go! But does it worth to have to wait a month to ? Not sure.
