Visited with two other couples based on a recommendation, and we were not disappointed. We have frequented other nearby restaurants on numerous occasions and never knew of this place. Itâs located in a strip of shops and the developer clearly underestimated the popularity of multiple eating establishments making parking a challenge. Once inside we were delighted with the atmosphere. Wide open space with great natural lighting and very conducive for table conversation (the bar area may be different). We were seated in a large booth which was perfect for a party of six. Very nice wine selections by the bottle and glass with a wide range of varietals and moderate pricing. Started with warm freshly baked bread, followed by a tasty Caesar salad (included w/ entree). My wife thoroughly enjoyed the Cannelloni Al Forno ($17) generously portioned and prepared in an exceptional tomato cream sauce. My selection was the Beef Tenderloin Modega ($19) topped with mozzarella, mushrooms and prosciutto in a garlic lemon sauce and complimented with asparagus and a wonderful sun-dried tomato polenta - Italian corn meal made with soup stock (Yes, I had to look it up). Finished off by sharing their tiramisu (huge portion so donât order two). Will be back to sample more of the menu. Great all around dining experience.

Had the cheesy garlic bread & pasta house salad. Pay extra if just having pasta- had lasagna so pricey to add add $5 salad. But decent selection of wines & good Prosecco. Lasagna was huge portion & spaghetti & meatballs were the same. Sauce on spaghetti at least wasnât sweet like the lasagna. The salad wasnât chocked full of onions, pimento like I remembered it when I lived there many years ago. But still good- but if looking for a little better prepared chain Italian try Olive Garden.

I may have reviewed Sugo's before - I can't remember, but I know I have eaten here many times. Saturday was not much different, except they reached a new height. My dinner, a pasta with mushrooms dish, was superb. I can't remember ever eating a better pasta dish. I usually start my dinners here with their olive-cheese appetizer. This is a meal all by itself and a delicious one at that. A glass of their house red is also my habit.Sugo's is a spacious place with a strong rustic feel. It reminds me of some restaurants in Italy. The staff is competent and gracious and the prices most reasonable. Portions are generous. All the things I like and admire in an eating place.I always say that when you are in the hospitality business, you must be hospitable. Sugo's hits the mark.

Hostess, server and food were all impeccable! You never know what to think when dining in a chain restaurant at the mall. But here you will not be disappointed.Lobster ravioli, carpaccio, steak salad, bolognese and tiramisu were delicious!Love sitting outside and inside in a booth.Noticed the menu stated carpaccio had arugula and capers but this was missing from the dish. The lobster ravioli is so amazing that we wish it was offered as an entree!
5. Paul Mineo's Trattoria

We are locals who eat out several times a week. We saw Paul Mineo's in Westport Plaza during a recent visit to Kemoll's which is across the plaza. After an unsatisfactory experience at the better known legacy restaurant we thought the next time we were near Westport we would give Mineo's a try.What a difference.The atmosphere was old italian and seemed genuinely friendly. Although it looked more elegant outside, the decor was more casual inside, due in part to the relaxed dress code of some of the customers. One man at the bar was wearing cutoff shorts and a casual shirt, more in keeping with the nightlife atmosphere than an elegant dining experience we were expecting. But Westport is that kind of entertainment oriented venue with two (supposedly) higher quality Italian restaurants in the center of it. But there the similarities ended.Kemoll's has had a reputation as a fine dining restaurant in St Louis for many years, having recently moved from it's location atop one of the highest buildings in downtown St Louis with a view of the arch and riverfront to its' suburban Westport Plaza location across from Mineo's. It had a reputation as a fine dining (but expensive) restaurant going back at least 50 years. Mineo's looks more inviting outside and is incomparably better inside, offering a nice variety of entrees at prices at least $10 cheaper than Kemoll's. We ordered an artichoke appetizer which was excellent. Before it arrived we were served complimentary pancetta with melted cheese, also excellent. My wife ordered salmon and I had a filet mignon stuffed with crabmeat and shrimp. My wife thoroughly enjoyed her entree (which I didn't taste) and I thought my filet was one of the best I've ever had, tender and cooked to perfection just as I ordered (medium). Often when a thick cut filet is prepared it is either raw in the middle or served well-done. The thicker it is the harder it is to get the center just right. This one was done perfectly.We called for a reservation and asked if we could bring our own bottle of wine. We were told that we were welcome to do so, and the corkage fee was $20, which was slightly on the higher end of normal, but was still quite reasonable considering the quality of the food. Corkage fees vary in St. Louis from zero to $30, with $15 to $20 being the most common. The higher fees are often charged in a not so subtle attempt to discourage customers from bringing their own wine. We were made to feel quite comfortable when we asked and were encouraged to do so. We did not have room for dessert, but the choices of cannolis, tiramisu and two kinds of cheese cake were attractively presented on a seperate dessert menu, which we plan to try the next time we go there. The biggest difference between Mineo's and Kemoll's was the service. Our waiter was Ben, who was knowledgable and attentive, and seemed genuinely pleased to wait on us. He also checked back several times during the meal without being intrusive. Our experience at Keml/s was quite the opposite. Our waitress claimed to know the wines on Kemoll's somewhat limited wine list, but didn't know whether either of the chardonnays offered by the glass was unoaked, or what unoaked was. A sample was delivered somewhat grudgingly. The waitress was intrusive and tried to steer the conversation. After ordering two appetizers we decided not to split an entree (average price $45 even for small portions, such as two tortellini's). When my wife wanted to order a salad she was told that customers were discouraged from ordering the salad except as a side to an entree, was small and expensive. My wife ordered it anyway, and was served a salad on a small plate that was not even close to a typical salad portion, for $10. After that the waitress seemed to lose all interest in waiting on us. We did order two desserts and were presented a bill for $110.While the staff at Mineos was warm and welcoming, and the prices very reasonable, Kemoll's felt more like a rub joint out to gouge tourists than a pleasant place to dine.We look forward to going back to Mineo's for our anniversary next month. Although we had gone to Kemoll's several times over the past 40 years we will never go back again.We appreciate your review and cherish your business. Thank you for your kind word. We can't wait to serve you again!

I love having lunch at this place. It's got a really wide selection and very casual atmosphere. They also have a lot of friendly people working there so it seems efficient. Not fancy but sometimes that is what you want in an area that is full of fancier restaurants.

A hidden gem of fine dining. Easy parking. Yes, it is in strip mall - but once inside you would never know it. Wonderful ambiance, traditional elegant Italian style decor. Great menu. Excellent service (thanks Aaron), friendly and helpful staff. Food was fantastic. I would go again in a heartbeat. It is a bit on the expensive side. Total order for two people comprised two cocktails, two glasses of wine, one salad, two entrees, two special sides, two coffees and one cannoli came to $163 with tax (before tip). There is no online menu or reservations. You will need reservations, and you need to call to make them. Every table was filled on a Tuesday evening for dinner.
