    Veal Marcela was excellent. My wife always likes the huge salmon which she takes home 1/2 of for lunch. When dining out I always bring a wine from my cellar. Since we are going to Italy next month I bought a 2015 San Filippo Brunello di Montalcino. I don’t remember the corkage fee being $30 before. I thought it was a little high relative to the fees at other similar family Italian restaurants.

    Wonderful experience and amazing accommodations! We went with a large group and two infants and they went over the top to make sure that we were taken care of. Our waiter was super attentive and the manager/maybe owner checked in on us a few times too. It was very kind!

    This is the best restaurant in St.Louis. Unfortunately the word has spread as it is increasingly difficult to get in. Food, services, ambience all top notch. Both owners there making sure we are taken care of. Keep up the good work Il Bel Lago.

    As always, an absolutely excellent meal and terrific service! As far as I am concerned, this is the #1 spot for fine dining in the St Louis area. If you have never dined there, you must try it!
