I am a business traveler and dine out quite frequently. I can tell you that the personal touch that you get at this place is nice. The first time I went there I was alone and I was sat at a corner table near the kitchen. After I had mentioned to my server that my wife and Inlaws are Italian and that I know Italian food the server said good now you'll have a reason to come back, the whole family here speaks Italian. Before you know I'm gettin all kinds of samples and loving it. Once you taste the sauces you'll see what I'm talking about. I order the Ossobuco, it's served over a bed of safron rissotto. The sauce is rich and the meat falls from the bone... Try the Fried Calamari, they pan fry the squid not deep fry like everywhere else. If your a steak lover then order the Tuscan T-Bone and Italian potatoes. Oh yeah, you taste the difference. I've had business meetings and always enjoyed the response I get from my associates. This place means business when it comes to serving incredible food. Don't be scared off by the looks outside, lots of fancy awnings, large white columns and lots of expensive bricks. The price range is about $10 to $24 and casual dress is fine, just go see for your self. They even have private rooms for private parties. Did I mention the homemade chocolate covered cannoli or the Tiramisu Martini served with homemade Biscotti. Don't wait just go...
Pros: Incredible food, friendly staff and great service.
Cons: Far far away in Ellisville.
