Excellent Italian restaurant located "on the hill" in the well known Italian neighborhood. Excellent casual atmosphere. Took my mother there for Mother's Day. The homemade ravioli were large and excellent. My wife had the grilled salmon pasta. My mother had the meatball pasta. I had the Volpi sausage pasta. All were excellent. The staff was very attentive to all. Our waitress Jennifer was excellent. We will be going back for sure.

The food, service and facility was excellent! Our waitress, Chris, took great care of us. She answered our questions and made very good recommendations. Since we are not big eaters and we added an appetizer, she recommended a half order of our entree. Which was plenty for us both. Memorable dinner. Next time we are in St Louis, weâll be back!

We have dined at the Old Spaghetti Factory in San Diego and Nashville, always enjoying the delicious food and good service. This Old Spaghetti Factory was just as good as the others. We had a terrific African American waitress. The food was perfect. The prices are extremely reasonable, too. Wow!

Off the tourist track but in a smart neighbourhood, this restaurant offered a warm welcome, value for money and a cosy atmosphere (not hugely busy on our early 5pm arrival, Iâd imagine it can get very buzzy).Standout, however, was the food quality - signs of real talent and imagination from the chef.

Iâve been to this one several times this year with my family and have never been disappointed with the food or the folks who work there, both are great. The calzones are fantastic and if you want something a little lighter my wife and daughter tell the salads are as well. Great selection of of adult beverages and some interesting (but pretty good) fountain drinks.

Love the St. Louis style pizza...Large deluxe with garlic cheese bread. Service is always been great at this location. Salad bar limited but OK. Order the Baked Laz. for a change of pace.

A large group of us came by unannounced for lunch before our conference started. They kindly set up a long row of tables and took our drink orders. I had the Pi which was delicious! We designed a variety of pizzas and they were great! Wish we had a Pi Pizzeria at home in Massachusetts. Definitely recommend!

I was introduced to Tony's in 1966-1968, when I worked for the old St. Louis Globe-Democrat. It was the top-rated restaurant in St. Louis at that time. Since then, the city has changed. Old Busch Memorial Stadium is gone. But downtown St. Louis is thriving like never before and Tony's, in our view, remains the celebrated Italian venue and St. Louis landmark that it has been since 1946. Seventeen years ago, it moved from its 800 North Broadway location to the old Brooks Brothers space in the Equitable Building at the southeast corner of South Broadway and Market Street. Located at 410 Market Street, two blocks from Busch Stadium and the Gateway Arch, Tony's is famous for its Wall of Wine, tableside preparation, spaghetti and meatballs, banana ice cream and ice cream pies. An Italian restaurant with an old-world feel, it is noted that 42 percent of its entrees are seafood dishes. Fresh fish from the Atlantic is flown in two or three times a week and Dover Sole is flown in from Europe weekly. Another dramatic change from the 1960s. One thing hasn't changed, however. The service is impeccable and the presentations and tableside preparations are one of a kind. We started with sauteed shrimp, sea scallops and Tony's salad, which consists of mixed greens, scallions, radishes, tomatoes, celery, salami and provolone cheese. My wife, adhering to our more fish/less meat diet, chose sauteed Dover Sole with lemon sauce. I was tempted by swordfish, salmon, lobster, grouper and shrimp but settled on the house's specialty, black pepper rubbed prime sirloin strip steak with green peppercorn cream. For dessert, we couldn't resist sharing bananas flambe served tableside. In St. Louis, Tony's remains the standard for fine dining.

I visited Ravenellis with three friends as we get together a couple times a month. This was our second visit to this place. We were seated toward the back, in a corner which was very quiet. Our server was quite attentive and kept our drinks filled. I ordered a large apple Gorgonzola dried cranberry salad. It was very good. It had a sweet and tart flavor which I love. I look forward to our next visit as I can't seem to get enough of this salad.
