Italian
Red Gravy offers upscale casual modern Italian fare.
Chef/Owner Eric Brenner spent his first decade in the industry inside Italian kitchens. Talking up St. Louis' wide-ranging Italian eatery scene, which gets as specific as regional specialties, he says he's wanted to have a place like this since he was 18.
"We're going to start very simple and accessible," he says, "we'll play to the crowd and start a dialogue, then grow the menu with community input."
"Simple," includes dishes like his tomato bisque, with which only has five ingredients. "It's all about the perfect balance. And that gets back to the essence of good Italian food: quality ingredients, very few, in perfect balance." Other examples include his St. Louis-style, thin-crust pizza, best compared to a flat-bread.

    The tomato bisque is excellent! My husband ordered the spaghetti and meatballs; his entree was not typical. The meatballs were veal, and the sauce was scrupulous. I ordered the special of the day: ravioli stuffed with meat. Zucchini was abundant, but the sauce had so much oil I couldn't eat it. The service was excellent. The restaurant comped us with the limoncello dessert.

    Great waitstaff-very knowledgeable regarding menu options. We sat on the patio and the service was still top notch! The food was amazing-as usual! Can’t speak highly enough of Red Gravy. Lots of traditional dishes to choose from, as well as an eclectic dish or two to choose from for the adventurous. They don’t try so hard to create an abundance of “new” Italian dishes that there’s nothing left to serve us more traditional Italian foodies! Just love this place ☺️

    The food was so so. My pasta was way over cooked and mushy. The service was ok but our waitress only refilled our drinks once. The atmosphere was also a little too loud and it was hard talking to our friends at the table.

    Super expensive, didn’t get our food for over a hour, my girlfriend has celiac disease and has to be gluten free they sent out a dish to her that wasn’t gluten free and she caught it quickly. Had to wait a additional 30 mins for the gluten free meal

    Very slow service. They brought out the wrong entree for my husband and refused to acknowledge the error. We did get a free dessert at the end but that too they forgot a portion of it. They have lots of gluten free options but very disappointing.

    Been coming here for years and must say the quality of food has been declining for about a year. My usual dishes are not consistently prepared, either too salty, over cooked, etc. Also seems very short staffed. This was once a neighborhood gem, hopefully could be again. Unfortunately would not recommend at this time.

    Excellent pasta dishes! I had a gluten free Penne Florentine that was superb. One of the best gluten free pastas I have had in 18 years of gluten-free eating. Others had Sunday Gravy (delicious; spicy), Pesto Penne ( very delicious); and Eggplant Parmesan with angel hair pasta (delicious). Very good prices too.

    Despite the good rating, we were disappointed in the service and the food. My better half had the tortellini which was good. I ordered the eggplant parm. I was served chicken parm instead, happens sometimes. It took over 10 minutes to flag down anyone. Our waitress was serving tables around us and ignoring us. Finally came over to the table and took the dish back. Took some time to come back with eggplant which was undercooked. Perhaps the restaurant had an off day.

    I really loved this restaurant. I was in the Springs because my daughter had a conference and I had to bring her, so I was on my own for the weekend. Solo dining is an adventure and I’m a confident middle age woman up to the challenge. Some places do it well. Red Gravy did not. They let me wait at the door for 25 minutes, saying my table would be ready when the couple sitting there finished dessert. Then they let me keep sitting there because even though I made my reservation for 1, they assumed that I was waiting for “the rest of my party”. When they realized it was just me, they seated me quickly, but the service was still slow. In their defense, it was super busy that night. Food was great, dessert was yummy. I will definitely come again if I find myself in town again.

    Absolutely Amazing food and service! Will be back for sure. Only one improvement would make the ambiance better. Had to ask them to turn down the music in the back room so we could hear each other better. Most restaurants aren’t using acoustic panels to help with noise. Red Gravy would benefit from them for sure.

    Had an issue with my chicken Parmesan dinner. I asked for the tomato sauce to be on the side. When I was served my meal underneath the cheese was a bunch of tomato sauce. Apparently the owner said it was his “signature dish” and refuse to make it without tomato sauce. It’s just chicken Parmesan like every other Italian restaurant.

    Big fan of Red Gravy mostly for their 5 star service. Emily was helping my table today & was super transparent about wait times that were probably due to scheduling or staffing issues but it was something everyone did not notice thanks to the wonderful attitude the entire staff had. The food was delicious & I’m excited to come back with more friends to celebrate!

    Comment: Red Gravy is highly recommended by all of the people I know and associates I meet when we dine out. Pros. They have a lovely space, a positive staff, and the food was perfectly seasoned and the dishes had great flavor. Cons. The food was cold. From the appetizers, to the soup, to the main dishes. This maybe an expeditor issue, a server issue, or we ran into a short staffed restaurant on a Sunday lunch schedule which is quite common for downtown CS. Summary: Sunday lunch with a party of six. We were also charged a mandatory 20% gratuity. My mother's comment, "I will pay it only because our server was so nice." We are happy to pay gratuities like this (and more) but it is distasteful to have to pay it when everything was served lukewarm.

    We were there as a large party on a Friday night and couldn't have had better service. Sara was outstanding! She handled the demands of 9 people and even offered to split checks to make it easier for us without ever making us feel that any of it was an inconvenience. Most of us there are originally from St. Louis, so we had some expectations based on the website description of the restaurant. We were not disappointed! Red Gravy has actually improved on the traditional St. Louis style pizza, so that is saying something! All the food was delicious and the general consensus by the entire party was that my choice of a restaurant was a huge hit! We will definitely be back.

    This is one of our favorite places in town. Love the Happy Hour-1/2 price appetizers and deals on wine and beer-4pm to 6pm M - Th. We ordered the Crispy Risotto Balls and Cheese Garlic Bread appetizer. Both were very good. I ordered the Braised Meatball appetizer as my main meal with a side house salad. The meatballs are excellent. Love the red gravy sauce on them. The other entrees were Spaghetti with Meatballs, Fettuccini Alfredo with chicken and Linguine with Clams. Unfortunately, the spaghetti with meatballs was lukewarm at best. It was very good just needed to be hot. For dessert we had the Flourless Chocolate Torte and Blueberry Gooey Buttercake. The Blueberry Gooey buttercake is served with a small cannoli which really doesn't compliment the buttercake. The buttercake is great by itself. Also, enjoyed the Cosmo which is no longer on the cocktail menu but still available. Little hiccups with the checks. We ordered appetizers and beer before the 6pm cutoff and were charged full price. We ordered side salads and were charged full price. The appetizers were changed after being told that they were discounted on the bill-they were not. Forgot to ask about the beer and side salads being discounted. Service was very good as it did get very busy as the evening went on.
