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.

    A business lunch for four and each of our selections, though widely varied, was amazing. Chef @nicolapignatelli_chef and his staff expertly prepared everything from a chilled citrus & lobster salad, halibut with a Mediterranean preparation, and their classic Napoletana lasagna and pizza. Taylor is a true professional and offered knowledgeable insight on menu items to our guests, who were first time diners there.

    Our dinner at Casa Don Alfonso was fun and tasty. The Lasagna tasted amazing! The pasta was crispy and after finishing, I did not feel uncomfortable. Our service was very good! The ambience was perfect, we were seated by the chef’s area, it was really fun!

    Highly enjoyable date night for us! The restaurant is gorgeous and the team worked so well to ensure we had a great experience. We enjoyed the burrata caprese salad as a starter and highly recommend! Great cocktail and wine selection! For entrees we had the meatballs (a unique recipe with raisins and pine nuts, but so tasty!) and the chefs special of the day (lobster gnocchi was especially delicious with layers of flavor!). We opted for desserts to go because we were so full! Already looking forward to when we can return!

    Wonderful experience. The restaurant is beautiful! There isn’t a plethora of food, but they offer a very nice variety and some upscale items. Items seem to be homemade. There are sufficient options for those eliminating various foods from their diet. The servers were perfectly attentive.

    Deeply disappointed.If you want an upscale Italian meal & service go to Tony’s a block down the street. For over $300, nothing was remarkable. Grilled octopus - tasteless, fresh lettuce so-so, tagliatelle had little flavor, sartu was good, swordfish had little flavor, lamb tasted like generic meat not lamb, birthday expresso dessert had wonderful hard chocolate birthday greetings. Buffett breakfast next morning also unremarkable

    We chose only what we favor to eat. You must try the tomato soup! We had it last time and wanted it again as it is delicious. I had the halibut feature of the night and enjoyed the hint of cucumber on top—was prepared very nicely. My husband, on this our 1st year anniversary, had the lasagna and must have liked it because he didn’t want dessert. However, we shared the Tiramisu. I have had this dessert in Europe and this rivals it so well that I couldn’t NOT order it! Juan Pueblo was a fabulous server and we thank CDA for the anniversary card and macaroons-a special touch after a long week.
