 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.

Authentic Italian cuisine |
13 Maryland Plaza St. Louis, MO 63108 United States +1 314 361 7010 |
Outstanding Italian food is the hallmark of this casual, yet fashionable, Midtown restaurant. The outdoor dining area adds to the European ambience. Try the wonderful tortellini in cream sauce, or the equally good chicken with almonds and raisins. Even the pastas are something special, like the fettuccine with ricotta cheese and eggplant. For dessert, they have a mouth-watering tiramisu. But this is not the restaurant to visit if you are in a rush. The service unfortunately has a rather relaxed, Italian attitude.

Steakhouse with an Italian flavor |
20 S 4th St St. Louis, MO 63102 United States +1 314 241 1631 http://www.lombardosrestaurant... |
The centerpiece of the colorful décor at Carmine's Steak House is the vibrant mural of a carnival in Venice. The homemade toasted ravioli is a favorite appetizer with regular patrons. The 16-ounce veal chop with a port demiglaze is terrific. An equally mouth-watering entree is the filet gorgonzola. When the halibut with rum sauce is available as a special, do not miss it. For dessert try the delicious bread pudding topped with lemon sauce or the Pecan Bourbon Creme Brulee. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Small restaurant, big autograph collection |
207 North Sixth St St. Louis, MO 63101 United States +1 314 436 2828 |
Going to this Italian restaurant is like going to a photo museum of famous St. Louisians. All of the walls are practically covered by 8"x10" autographed photos of local celebrities. The restaurant lacks an Italian feel, but fits in with the downtown scheme as being a building preserved from the early 1900s. Charlie Gitto's chefs like to experiment with traditional Italian recipes. For example, they throw in vegetables like mushrooms and olives for extra flavor. Some of the dishes include Spaghetti, Lasagna, Chicken Picata and American food with an Italian flavor. Autographed photos of local celebrities adorn the walls. Review © 2007, Wcities |

The menu also features pizza, pastas and numerous artery fillers like potato skins and chicken wings. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Considered by many to be the best Italian restaurant on The Hill, this restaurant inspires elegance and good taste. Gentlemen will want to wear a suit and tie, and ladies should make it a point to dress up for the occasion, too. Italian landscape oil paintings and romantic chandelier lighting perfectly complement the tasteful ambiance.

Gian Tony's caters to the romance seeker, the business executive and the loner looking for a great meal. It is also known as a gathering spot for sports fans after local games. The dress is casual, but jackets are preferred. All dishes have an Italian taste that is pleasing and not overwhelming. Guests can choose from chicken, seafood, veal, beef or pasta entrees. A family of four or five can eat well without thinning the wallet too much. The only down side seems to be the limited choice of beverages. Review © 2007, Wcities |

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. Wines are available, but the choices are limited. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Relocated to a posh downtown office building from its original home in North St. Louis, Kemoll's has lost a little of the cozy feel of the old place, yet it has gained a reputation for food and service that is better than ever.

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 |
