Italian dining with an elegant air |
15846 Manchester Rd St. Louis, MO 63011 United States +1 636 391 5480 http://www.agostinosstlouis.com/ |
Agostino's Restaurant, a staple of the St. Louis dining scene for more than 30 years, offers classic Italian cuisine and elegant atmosphere to a well-to-do West County crowd. In what is largely a family operation, the Gabrieles continue to do what they have been doing since the first Agostino came to town in the 1950s. The pastas are wonderful, in particular the linguine tutto mare and the seafood pasta. Teal is served beautifully, as are the chicken and beef dishes. The service is attentive, without overdoing the tableside finishing of dishes. There is a full bar and an excellent wine list, with a sufficient selection of medium-priced bottles.

A classic St. Louis steakhouse |
1200 North First Street St. Louis, MO 63102-2212 United States +1 314 421 6399 |
A downtown St. Louis dining institution in an out-of-the-way spot, Al's has been serving enormous portions of steak, seafood and basic Italian specialties for decades. The look is clubby, with dark wood and leather chairs. Dress is formal—men wear coat and tie. After being served a welcoming basket of bread and offered a pricey wine list, you choose your meal from a tray of meats and seafood displayed by your waiter. There is no menu; the waiter describes what is available (e.g., filets, T-bone steaks, veal chops, lobster, salmon) and how it can be prepared. Entrees come with salad and side dish.

This deli is a favorite with the local college crowd. This is due in part to the 10 percent discount given to students on top of the already low prices, but that certainly does not mean you will be disappointed by the quality or the service ;both are definitely satisfying.The kitchen serves a variety of Middle Eastern dishes for dining in or takeout. Some of the best and most frequently recommended dishes are the hummus, the pistachio baklava and the falafel. Delivery is also an attractive option for many diners. Review © 2007, Wcities |

"Fun and casual" is the name of the game in this American restaurant. Owners Thom and Jane Sehnert are friendly and well-known in the St. Louis community and culinary scene. Annie's serves great food, but that is somewhat offset by the cramped dining area and the lengthy wait. This restaurant is known for its steaks, but it also serves smoked meats, pork, fish, ribs, burgers and more. Outdoor dining is available. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Many fans of Tony's, indisputably one of the best restaurants in town, are unaware that Tony's fantastic food is available at lunchtime at the adjacent Anthony's Bar.

Since 1987, this restaurant has offered a wide selection of fresh seafood, veal, chicken, lamb, steaks and pasta. In 1996, the Terzo family added the Il Forno café, which offers outside dining with a menu that includes appetizers, salads, gourmet pizza, calzone, pasta and other entrees. Appetizers range in price from $5.95-8.95 and include several seafood selections such as the Puff Pastry Escargot and toasted ravioli. Among entrees, the pizzas are especially noteworthy; however, adding meat toppings such as chicken, shrimp, or clams can quickly raise the price out of the standard $6.50-9.50 range. Steaks are priced both according to size and by whether customers are sitting in the café or dining room, while lamb, shrimp, fresh fish and lobster tails are offered at market price. Entrees are served with the chef's selection of vegetables, while a small house salad can be added for $1.95. Review © 2007, Wcities |

The decor leaves a little to be desired, but the food keeps guests returning again and again. The atmosphere and dress are usually casual, but don't be surprised if things get a little "dressy" on the weekends. Diners tend to be more in tune with the local nightlife on those nights. Try traditional Italian dishes such as chicken cacciatore, spaghetti with meatballs and veal parmigiana. All the entrees are served with a fresh salad and buttery garlic bread.

However, the cuisine is most definitely Greek. The cook prepares each dish to perfection. The restaurant does not offer menu orders, instead leaving guests to enjoy the cafeteria-style buffet. Dishes include Greek salads and dressings (made fresh in front of diners) and moussaka, a Greek dish consisting of layers of ground lamb or beef and sliced eggplant topped with a cheese sauce and baked.

Since opening in November 1982, the Campisis have treated all their customers like family. Mama Campisi started the restaurant, and her sons, John and Frank, carry on the tradition with taste and style. The building was named for Louie Oldani, the creator of the famous Toasted Ravioli. The result of an accident, the dish was born when the cook and Evilin Oldani dropped an order of ravioli into hot oil instead of hot water. After tasting, adding some spice and dressing, a popular favorite was created. National food critics visiting Oldani's have recognized the excellent cuisine and service. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Looking at the place today, guests would never know that this building fell victim to a horrid fire in 1976. While there is no television or music in the dining area, the establishment features live bands on the weekends in the Scott Joplin Room and does have a TV in Daniel's Den. The Tap Room caters both to upper class customers and the average working man. The European-style cuisine is a nice change from the menus at the other pubs. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Landmark Central West End dining |
232 North Kingshighway Boulevard (at Lindell) St. Louis, MO 63108-1206 United States +1 314 361 0900 http://www.tenderloinroom.com/ |
This steakhouse was put together in the 1960s, when flamboyant Chase Hotel owner Harold Koplar fashioned a San Francisco-like haunt between his Chase and Park Plaza hotels. Featuring mahogany woodwork from a demolished mansion across the street, an open grill and nearly gaudy red wallpaper, the Tenderloin Room reigned as one of St. Louis' most fashionable restaurants for years. Today, with the hotels revived as apartments, the Tenderloin Room has been restored to near its old prominence. Recommended are the lamb and veal chops, the pepperloin steak with mustard-based sauce, the grilled salmon, the filet mignon and the Chateaubriand for two. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Pub food in the Central West End |
20 South Euclid Avenue (at Forest Park Boulevard) St. Louis, MO 63108 United States +1 314 367 4900 http://www.tomsbarandgrill.com |
A Central West End favorite for more than 25 years, Tom's is a great place to drop in after work for a beer, and also an ideal spot for family and friends to come and enjoy typical St. Louis pub food. The bar area, with its large, Victorian-style bar, welcomes visitors in the front. In the rear, a large, skylighted dining room offers plenty of space for diners. The burgers and steaks are favorites; the French fries are excellent, too. Review © 2007, Wcities |
