Salmon in a bowl on the HappyHour menu was spectacular! Srrvice, as always was wonderful. A fabulous place for dinner or lunch, whether it’s a business meal, meeting friends, date night, special occasion or “I just don’t feel like cooking tonight” night.

Dinner at Trattoria Toscana is always a wonderful experience. The food is delicious, the service is always outstanding and the atmosphere is very comfortable. The off the menu specials created by Chef Tika are scrumptious. Last night we shared crab cakes in a Dijon sauce—heavenly! Thank you Alban for creating such an inviting place to dine!

Although a tornado has come through and destroyed this place, it is hands down my favorite restaurant in St. Louis. From the music, to the food. I love everything about this place. Hoping it’s rebuilt.

Wonderful meal but they don’t give the food away!! 1 cocktail each (2 people), bottle of wine ($50), 1 hors d’oeuvre each, 1 main each was just under $300 with 25% gratuity. They have a 4 course tasting menu that would save a little bit but the portion sizes would be smaller. We ordered a la carte and the portions are very good size so we could have easily split our main course, which we would do next time we visit. Pricey but everything was excellent.

About the restaurant
Great service and atmosphere aren’t the only reasons people have been making the trip to Tony’s for 70 years. Tony’s is the home of the World Famous Pepperloin Steak.
This beef tenderloin is marinated in Tony’s secret marinade, rolled in half-cracked black pepper, grilled to perfection, and drizzled with garlic butter. After one bite of this mouth-watering steak, you will never want steak from another restaurant again. It is so tender it can be cut with a butter knife, and it practically melts on your palette.
If you are looking for a place to enjoy great drinks in a beautiful setting, check out The Whiskey Bar at Tony’s. We have a premium whiskey selection with all kinds of rare finds, beautiful craft cocktails with fresh house made syrups, our new cherry vanilla house infused bourbon, and an amazing wine list. Stop for a drink before or after dinner, enjoy a bourbon while you wait for your carry out or plan a night out with friends!
