We’re from Iowa, visiting for a wedding, and decided to go out on our last night in Missouri. We chose Il Bel Lago from the great reviews and quick trip from our hotel. Ray served us and was an absolute delight. The food was incredible; flavorful, quick, and so original. I had the tiniest issue with my dish and Ray was on top of it! The kitchen got me a new dish I swear within minutes. If you go don’t forget to have some of the house made tiramisu - it’s to die for!

Everything was exactly how it should have been. The young lady working the bar was pleasant and the drinks were perfect. Our waiter did an outstanding job listening to our questions and anticipating our needs. The food was some of the best I have had anywhere in St Louis. The price for a side Caesar salad was a bit high ($15), but the presentation and taste made it worth it. I will definitely be back.
