Our food was delicious. Halibut, Veal Pillard, Spicy Pasta, Buratta Stack, Spinach Salad, etc Our waiter, Ray, was attentive, accommodating and funny. The ambience was nice, probably between moderate and energetic. It was not difficult to have a conversation at our table, noise level was appropriate. Great dining experience!

This was one of the best meals we have had in a long time. Our table ordered The Eggplant Shortstack, Lobster Ravioli, Watermelon Gazpacho for primi and for entrees, we ordered Tagglietelle della Casa, Linguine Mare Monte and the Pesce special (trout stuffed with crab). We would recommend them all. The menu offers a large and varied selection of entrees supported by a really nice wine list.

While visiting St Louis we were looking for a fun place for dinner. The service staff was amazing and was helpful and able to provide great suggestions for dinner or drinks. We had one of the specials and one menu item, along with an amazing charcuterie board for an appetizer. It all had great flavor, and made for a great evening.

The ambiance at Il Bel Lago is cozy and romantic. We enjoyed this spinach salad and lasagna. Each dish is prepared with fresh ingredients and us unbelievably tasty. The manager on duty and our waiter Gerard was very attentive. We were celebrating my daughter's 21st birthday and they certainly are her feel special. I highly recommend this restaurant for your special occasion!

It was an extremely long wait for all parts of the dinner. (Getting water, getting our drink order taken, food order) The pastas were delish, the fish and meat were mediocre. Gorgeous patio, great vibe inside as well. You can tell this place has a long successful history.
