About this restaurant

  • Charming
*2024 WINE SPECTATOR BEST OF AWARD OF EXCELLENCE*

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.

    The experience was tarnished by the seat I was provided. I was kept aside away from the main hall of seating. I felt I was being set aside and away. Kind of odd as I thought I would be seated at the bar. I had to move for servers and lean in so I could provide them more room to move. So if that is a high trafficked area then that should be a considered seat. The service was okay a bit aggressive and hurried. Even when I requested the wine I was not provided proper talk track. Was treated as if I didn’t know and words used to describe the wine were vague and not what a wine Somali would use to describe wine. Kind of odd. Only when I confirmed I want the most expensive wine I was treated with a bit of dignity and afforded more of a dialogue. Yet at that point I wished to be left alone in my cold corner of the restaurant behind a support beam. Otherwise the food was great and service was satisfactory. I did think the food could have been more warmer and freshly brought out. But it was acceptable, yet I know that’s not what the quality of the resultant at a high end stay is aiming for. I wish the next time I do come in I am treated with more hospitality and not cornered away in the way of serves and bussers.

    The food was on point! The ambiance and service were solid. The price point was elevated likely because of its location, particularly cocktails and wine. Great choice.

    Beautiful lunch experience at Casa Don Alfonso. A wonderful setting inside the Ritz Carlton Hotel. Our selection of caprese salad with salmon and split pea soup started us off. The pizza that followed was worth an applause. Delicious, hot and full of flavor. A trio of house made desserts rounded out our meal with cafe au lait. Our server John Paul was terrific. Attentive and helpful with our selections.. A real treat all around.

    The worst Italian food I've ever had! Very pricey also. For a restaurant claiming to serve authentic Italian cuisine, across the board from the Apperitivi portions being tiny (grilled octopus), the bread being stale, Polpette mostly bread with little meat and zero flavor, even the gelato for 2 persons had nothing to do with Italian gelato! I'll never go back to this restaurant for a meal. Perhaps for a drink it's ok since the ambiance, noise level, and staff service were all great.

    Cocktails were amazing. Food was tasty but fish was a little fishy and not as fresh as I’d like. Olive oil was very tasty as well.
