38 Best Italian Restaurants near Weldon Spring

“We went because I remember going to a restaurant they had many years ago on St Charles Rock Rd. The food was as good as I remember. Everyone loved what they had. We will definitely be going back.“

“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!“

“First time diners! We were welcomed immediately by a friendly staff. The atmosphere was quaint and inviting. The food was flawless and the service exemplary. Joe and Diane were extremely good to us. We will be back! Thank you for an amazing meal!“

“Servers and their assistants were friendly, professional and helpful. All the food and drinks were excellent. We had several courses. Everything was beautifully seasoned, never bland or heavy handed with the salt! The sauces were delicate and exciting and were not too much or too overpowering. One off the best Italians restaurants and one of the best overall. We’ll be back and bring our friends.“

“I did an online order. You guys deserve a kiss on the cheek frl. Remembered my red pepper flakes and parmesan, gave me a bunch of it. The alfredo is on point!! Mushrooms and broccoli made to perfection!!! Lovely cheesecake, like how you put strawberry sauce on the side.

Love love love“

“Tony and family always make you feel like family. From his table side presence and his beautiful mother leading an amazing team in the kitchen. Anthony our server was great and knowledgeable of all the dishes. We started with the calamari and fried spinach and a perfectly spiced marinara sauce. We each had the separate salads I had the Italian chop salad, and my girl had the Caprese salad both were absolutely amazing. I had the Benedetto's Farfalle with spicy pink sauce and added shrimp 🤌we also had the perfectly cooked and breaded Chicken Spiedini served over risotto. Timing is everything when you have multiple dishes everything was perfectly prepared.. 🤌🤌🤌🍷“

“The large salads are large. My rookie mistake was ordering a large salad and a calzone. It was too much food. I ordered the fatty B and it was fantastic. I usually don't enjoy canzone because the crust is hard pizza crust. Not so at sauce on the side. The crust is almost pastry tezture.
Fountain drinks are so carbonated that you can taste the CO2. The only issue. Customer service was ourstanding.“

“We stopped in on a whim and so glad we did. My husband had the deep-fried cannolinia with special sauce and I had a Steph special pizza with traditional cheese and they were both delicious 🤤😋 The only thing that made it better was the Italian cannoli for dessert! Thanks Patty for explaining everything and helping us figure it all out 😁“

“We love everything about Massa’s Ballwin. The waitstaff is amazing, Kevin is fun and friendly, the food is always delicious, and the atmosphere is just right. We eat there almost once a week.“

“This place is wonderful! Food is always delicious and service warm. Tonight they were actually short a staffed and still exceeded expectations! Thank you💛“

“We’ve been here twice and both times service and food were excellent. May be my new favorite restaurant in this area. Highly recommend!“

“Great food, great waitress Jamie!“

“As usual it is always the best place for a dinner. We love it. However this franchise did not had garden veggies also the rigatoni was not best cooked. I have visited a lot of OG in east coast and did had a better rigatoni. Overall we luv it and now even my kid loves it

Editing after an year again - few waiters are not at all good. I have visited many times now. The only waiter which was best is Riley Dean she was the best. I would just add 1 star for her.“

“If there were 10 stars that's how I'd rate our dining experience. You can't go wrong with Italian and our food was delicious, however, what really made our visit great was the service we received from our server, Helene. She was outstanding and both my husband and I agreed that we'll ask to be seated in her section at our next visit.“

“Had a large party reserved and had some of the best service from our waiter Freddy than we have in years anywhere else. He was incredibly attentive, thorough and kind.“

“Been there many times over the years. Their NY-style pizza is great“

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Pictured below is the Gonzo calzone- Salami, dates, spinach, garlic herb cheese, mozzarella, mascarpone-ricotta blend, and garlic oil with garlic butter on the side. My husband looked at me like I was crazy when I read off dates but the slight sweetness against all of that savory is what made it!! We also tried the Fatty B, Meat me in St Louie, Magic Carpet Ride, and the Gyro. They were all amazing but the Gonzo and the Gyro were my favorites. The Magic Carpet Ride is also a must try if you're into mushrooms.“

“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!“

“Delicious food, great portions and caring, kind staff!“

“Best lunch special pizza & salad I have ever eaten. Pizza was excellent! Young man behind the counter was very helpful & friendly. Stef's pizza has become our go to pizza effective today, 9/18/23.“

“We came in on a Thursday, with a reservation for 6. They were ready and waiting for us, complete with the high chair we requested for our little one. The staff were so friendly and helpful. There was a rehearsal dinner celebration going on so the place/atmosphere was very lively and fun, but our service was not neglected. Our food was amazing!! The meatballs were definitely the best I have had and I’m very picky about my meatballs. Garlic shrimp rigatoni was awesome, lasagna delicious. We had pumpkin cheesecake that was phenomenal. We had another dessert called a Pizookie that was blueberry lemon and was sort of like a cookie and a pie/cobbler. It was amazing. We all left very full and very happy, with plans to return for dinner again soon, as well as trying out their brunch. Go check it out.“

“First, the service was great! Dude was doing everything and helpful. The food was pretty great, fries were oddly extremely good. I got the Italian dip and it was tasty. My buddy got the Sal's burger and it was massive! I highly recommend Salvatore's!“

“We had no problem getting waited on and the server was very good at coming back to see if we needed anything. I love their Eggplant Parmesan, which comes with a salad and a side of pasta - this is from the lunch menu. We didn't walk away hungry.“

“Best pizza I have found since moving to STL four years ago! But not just the best here. One of the best ever!“

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

“I stopped by imo's pizza recently, and I have to say—it was one of the best pizza experiences I’ve had in a long time.

First, the pizza was absolutely top-notch. I ordered the sweet heat, and it was a perfect blend of flavors.

But what made the visit even better was the service, especially from the manager, megan. From the moment I walked in, they were welcoming, attentive, and clearly passionate about their work.

Great food is important—but great people are what bring you back. This place has both.“

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

“I went with my friend and his daughter. I don't eat dairy and the vegetarian pizza without green olives, onions, and cheese (which leaves mushrooms, green peppers and tomatoes) was amazing. I appreciate the those that can make a pizza without cheese and not over do the pizza sauce.“

“I had a great experience at this location. The food was good and I have enough left for lunch tomorrow haha.

Our server Emily was very nice and attentive to the table's needs.

I would definitely come back!“

“Absolutely delicious!! Love the focaccia bread“

““Deeelicious” according to the kids! Came for the summer reading coupons, but will definitely be back!“

“This place is wonderful! Food is always delicious and service warm. Tonight they were actually short a staffed and still exceeded expectations! Thank you💛“

“Great Gluten Free Pizza and loved the salads . Why did you guys remove yourself from Doordash??? We ordered from there all the time because we live in st Peter’s .“

“Stopped her to check out the Gluten free menu. Let me tell you… The service from the host stand to table service was awesome! The GF menu was extensive. Best pasta I have had. Didn’t taste like GF. Thank you so much! We will be back.“

“Finally got got to try the legendary Pirrone's Pizzeria Florissant while playing a great gig at Bunkers Tavern yesterday! 😊🍕💥 Awesome pizza with thin crispy crust and they use provel cheese! 💚 RECOMMENDED! 👍“

“This location successfully gets the crust crispy, even with conveyer ovens!

The addition of Pepsi zero fountain soda is nice, but will someone please tell Pepsi they always need to include Diet Dr. Pepper.

This location is right next to a fast EV charger as well.“

“Husband said “How about Pasta House?”
My favorite of all time.
Our last experience at this location was not good however we decided to give it another try this evening.
Our server was amazing, food was great.
All in all we were very satisfied.
So after a bad review previously, thought I would give them a nice compliment!
Good Job Pasta House!“
