Our party of five was seated right away on a Friday night. That should have been a heads up. Our house salads were so heavily peppered, even the teen who ate it without dressing had to wipe her tongue off. After a few minutes our lips and mouthes started to go numb. We expected the traditional Italian salad with provolone, olives, etc. and got wilted pepper-lettuce with oil, yuck. All of us sent them back after three or so bites. One of the five of us enjoyed our entre. My chicken spiedini was not made with breadcrumbs and olive oil. It was more like a dried, hard cordon bleu...and again, without peppercorn, the sauce was heavy with pepper. My limp spinach was soaked in oil ..eewww.
This was once a great place on The Hill. I ate there several times with great enjoyment. New management. Cutbacks. New chef. Go, no, run away from this one. ESPECIALLY if you are in STL for one night and want a good St. Louis Italian dinner. There are so many more, and better, choice. Ewe, my stomach still hurts.
Pros: Exceptional Service
Cons: Terrible Food
