The meal was excellent! We very much enjoyed pasta dishes that were full of flavor without being heavy. The service was good. We never wanted for anything. Water was regularly refilled. Staff frequently checked in on us. However, the best part was desert. The tiramisu was excellent- maybe the best desert I have had this year. The lemon mascarpone cake, though, was one of the best deserts I have ever had. To each their own, but we loved our dining experience here.

This restaurant is my favorite in St.Louis hands down. It's casual for dress, except use your common sense. We were there recently and this guy at the next table had seriously gym shirts on! How disrespectful to this fabulous restaurant and its staff. On top of it, all he did was complain and I felt sorry for his wife how embarrassing. The food is so delicious and the chefs are so amazing. Pasta, seafood, chicken, salads, sandwiches and drinks are so fabulous. I've never had a bad meal, customer service or drink ever. The staff is amazing and the chefs are so talented that's why we always go back.
