Carol MorganAugust 7, 2014Toasted ravioli was tasty! So was the Caesar salad. The lasagna was very cheesy.UpvoteDownvote
Amy WildeAugust 12, 2011We loved our food, but not a kid friendly menu. No kids menu and the sauce was very spicy for the little ones. Very friendly and welcoming.UpvoteDownvote

Kristin LarsonApril 2, 2011Bruschetta and house salad are amazing. Pizza is also really good.UpvoteDownvote
Adrienne StockleyMay 25, 2013Food is just okay, and kinda pricey at that. Visually, this place looks VERY dark and outdated. I understand that it's a StL "classic", but it comes across as cluttered and worn.UpvoteDownvote
Brett HildabrandOctober 21, 2018It is probably quicker for the waitress to name what they’re NOT out of.UpvoteDownvote
Austin WestermannFebruary 9, 2012Honestly was expecting better, one guy was waiting, bussing tables, and helping cook while two women sat up at the front rest and talked. Food was not good at all, bring Tums and lots of patience...UpvoteDownvote
Chris RJuly 29, 2011The food was just OK. Not what I was expecting from what is suppose to be a classic. Service was very average. Especially for a slow night. My pasta was very sticky.UpvoteDownvote
Robbie MolinaryApril 10, 2011Have been waiting an hour 20 minutes after being told 35-45 minutes....not sure that I'll know if it's goodUpvoteDownvote
Lisa BleakleySeptember 14, 2010Lots of STL Cards fans here! Just before the Cubs game.UpvoteDownvote
Charles JurczakSeptember 23, 2011Dont bother over rated and they won't split a check without charging you extra...UpvoteDownvote
