Mediterranean
Renown Italian restaurateur Mario Iaccarino is pleased to invite guests for a taste of the Sorrento Coast at Casa Don Alfonso. Open for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and Sunday brunch, the menu tells the story of traditions passed down for generations in the family homes of southern Italy. These recipes come from a magical place, ripe with the culture and beauty of the Mediterranean. Alongside an unmistakable commitment to hospitality and service, Casa Don Alfonso brings hand-crafted flavors and carefully chosen ingredients with every bite.

Family of Iaccarino honors the culinary heritage of the Campania region, with seasonal ingredients that closely resemble the sun-kissed produce harvested at the Iaccarino family’s farm. Fresh, handmade pastas create an edible narrative of the Iaccarino legacy, while whimsical desserts transport guests to Naples’ nostalgic bakeries.

From Sorrento to St. Louis, we look forward to welcoming you soon.

    Space is gorgeous and comfortable; service is great; first time we had the pizza - it was great; our pasta dishes are always great; but the swordfish entre was overcooked - very dry.

    We were over from England and decided to go to Casa Don Alfonso for my daughter’s birthday. The staff at this restaurant couldn’t have been more welcoming. The father and son (Brooke) who worked there were so kind and knowledgeable about the dishes and the wine. The whole evening was wonderful. The only slight downside was the rather loud drunk obnoxious woman on the table next door and I felt sorry for the servers dealing with her. If it wasn’t for the 7 hour flight and the 6 hour train journey, I would be a regular! Keep doing what you’re doing - it’s a winner!

    Excellent wait staff. Excellent ambience. Fish Special (Flounder) was excellent. Lasagna, while visually appealing, lacked the range of appealing flavors one would expect in a great Italian food town. Same for other pasta dishes. Excellent limoncello. Excellent wine list, but ~2.5X retail pricing for our excellent Oregon Pinot Noir continues to be an issue for knowledgeable wine consumers at most upscale restaurants.

    Such a weird space with chairs that are too low and a hotel vibe (duh, it's in a hotel). I had the overly expensive tagliatelle, which was delicious, but overpriced. Good wine list.

    Excellent service from start to finish. The display of brunch food was wonderful. There was a large selection to fit anyone's food diet. The price of the drinks was a bit high. The price of the buffet, was okay. I'm not a big eater so it might have been too costly for my tastes but all in all a wonderful dining experience. We will return and, hopefully, I will be able to indulge more. 😀

    This was our fourth time here and was a bit disappointing. The service was not up to the normal standard and their wine pricing is very high, 50% higher than the exact same bottle at Cafe Napoli. The ambience is great and the food is fresh but it is not a good value for how expensive it is.

    Food was tasty, would have ordered an after dinner drink or dessert but didn’t have a return visit for 20 mins after getting the dessert menu. I don’t mind not being rushed, but would have been nice to have a beverage and dessert.

    We came for breakfast and were only offered the option of a buffet. Not many great options on the buffet. Overpriced for what you got. Service was lacking. Disappointing for a Ritz. Doesn’t measure up to other Ritzes I’ve been to around the world and in US.

    I experienced a spectacular meal with my parents for my mother's birthday celebration. It was their first time there so I wanted it to be special. From the handwritten note, flowers and cookies to the birthday dessert, it was a memorable night. Our waiter was very knowledgeable on both the menu as well as the wine list, guiding us to wonderful choices to further enhance our experience. We will most certainly be returning and graciously thank the staff for creating a wonderful experience!

    First off this place is beautiful. Came here to celebrate my fiancé birthday … the pizza is amazing! Light airy crust wonderful ingredients. I ordered the lamb chops I requested med rare and it came to the table more medium but it was still amazing my fiancé hade the halibut in the anchovy capar deal. He said it was really good halibut cooked perfectly but probably needed more salt. But service was awesome! I would definitely come back

    Lunch for a long-standing friend for her birthday was a success. She had never been to Casa Don Alfonso so I ordered for both of us. We had the burrata (creamy and delicious), carpaccio ( just the right amount of mustard and parmigiano) and the fresh pea soup (perfectly balanced) and finished with their always excellent tiramisu. Highly recommend their prosecco cocktail on tap, with which we both started. One of three restaurants in St. Louis that are tried and true for our family, and always a success.

    We have been searching for a nice breakfast brunch buffet for awhile. I happened across this restaurant and figured why not. The restaurant is beautiful and very French chic. All the staff were so nice, help and really accommodating. The food choices were nice and consisted of an nice assortment. The food tasted very good and we had no complaints. It was a very nice leisurely Sunday breakfast. The only downside is that it was a little pricey. So with all this said we did make reservations again before we left and will be coming back for holidays such as Easter Sunday.

    Was expecting superlative food based on reviews and reputation. Only mediocre at best and the price point, for STL is very high. If target audience is expense account hotel guests, i guess that's ok, but food and value (more to the point lack thereof) very disappointing for a diner who thought this might be an opportunity for an interesting example of Italian cooking alternative to Hill fare (which I love). Service fine.

    We’ve been here a few times, but decided to bring our 8-year-old daughter this time as a fancy family date. It was honestly one of the best dining experiences the three of us have ever had together. We made an early dinner reservation (5:15), and I don’t know if this is standard for kids, but she was invited into the open kitchen to make a pizza with the pizza chef. It was so special for her and such an enjoyable experience to watch. Juan Pablo was our main waiter and the service was excellent. Juan was the pizza chef who was a great teacher for our girl. So grateful to them and the entire staff for a wonderful night.

    Our first visit to this restaurant. Our server was not very good. Didn't ask if there were any allergies. My fish was served with a basil garnish and I am allergic to basil. Basil was not listed as an ingredient on the menu. The fish was salty and when they offered to get me something else, still no food 20 minutes later and they said it would be 6 more minutes. I told them to forget it. Our dinner mate was not offered more coffee. Basically the waiter disappeared when the food and beverage manager showed up. The manager did send over 3 desserts and 2 of us glasses of wine, though. My husband's main course was really nothing more than fried calamari with a couple of shrimp thrown in as far as size and price goes. That was salty too.

    We have been here a few times now, it is great from start to finish. Reservation can be hard to get because it is not a large place. We sat at the kitchen bar and enjoyed watching the kitchen. We have tried several things on the menu and they all have been outstanding.
