    Toasted Ravioli
    Anna G.

    Came here with a friend on a Wednesday night. I was shocked at how busy it was. When we sat at our table, our waitress was super sweet and attentive. We got our bread and appetizer pretty quickly. We got the appetizer of the goat cheese and pita it was so delicious. I got the pasta con broccoli, and it was pretty good. The lasagna seemed like it took longer to cook and came out Piping hot where my pasta con broccoli wasn't necessarily hot. The lasagna came out a cute dish, which was cool. The tiramisu came out and it's not the best tiramisu I've ever had, but it was pretty good and came in a cute little glass. Solid experience on the hill.

    One of our favorite restaurants on The Hill! Everyone is so friendly and accommodating. They absolutely love dogs on their patio and even partner with Ciao Chow pet store to provide your pups with "Toasted Ravioli" treats! Their food is fantastic! Everything from their Caprese Salad with Burrata to their pasta and pizza and down to their desserts. Their dining rooms are lively and the restaurant is filled with the best smells. As mentioned, big fan of their patio as it's dog friendly and is right on the side of the building, where you can watch the crowds walk by. It is covered and even has fan

    EXCELLENT food. So good I went back for a second time in 48 hours! This will definitely be added to the "have to go" category for any time I am in St. Louis!

    Creamy Pesto Ravioli
    Beth K.

    Went here for dinner and everything was really tasty! We had a reservation which was smooth and easy, it seemed to be pretty filled up on a Wednesday. The pizza was incredible and the homemade pesto was awesome. The server was really nice. It is nice place and you could wear a cute outfit on the inside it looks like a modern Italian restaurant.

    I was visiting St. Louis for the first time and I wanted to try foods that St. Louis was known for (according to online research) and toasted ravioli kept popping up. Being from the Bay Area in California, I had never heard of toasted ravioli so I added it to my itinerary. I found this place on Yelp and saw that Guy Fieri (another Bay Area native) had featured it on his show so I settled on Anthonino's. I walked over from the Botanical Garden on a Friday afternoon around 12pm so that I could get a better feel of the streets, locals, surrounding shops, and the Hill neighborhood. The area was very calm, clean, safe and had a sense of pride. I enjoyed the sights and sounds throughout the streets and by the time I arrived at the front door, I was super excited to eat. I was seated quickly at the bar and given a menu and water. The bar staff were friendly and pleasant to talk to and also took my order within a few minutes. The restaurant quickly filled up behind me and it was a lively environment. I really appreciated that the TVs had sports shows on (huge sports fan and was in town to visit Busch Stadium) so it gives you something to look at. I ordered the toasted ravioli and a tiramisu. As a solo traveler, I have to limit how much I can order so this was the perfect amount for me. The food was amazing and I wished that I could have tried more plates. The ravioli had great flavors and texture and the tiramisu was so creamy and fresh. I would definitely return if the opportunity presented itself. The customer service from all staff members was amazing! Thank you for this experience :)

    Grilled Salmon Pasta with Alfredo Sauce
    Kizito N.

    WOULD definitely recommend. Came by for a quick dinner after a long day of errands and shopping. We didn't have a reservation prior, which I would recommend especially for a Saturday evening (reservations made via SpotOn). We were able to get bar seating that night anyways and still had good experience. They had an extensive drink menu with so many different pastas, pizzas, appetizers, and sides to choose from. We started off with drinks, got Moscow Mule (9.4/10) & glass of Lambrusco (9.0/10), both of which were made very well, the bartenders seemed to have sufficient experience. For appetizers, we order the Toasted Ravioli and Kale Caesar Salad. The toasted ravioli was not too crunchy, which I actually liked. Most of the time, toasted raviolis are so flaming hot and crispy that its hard to taste the filling because it falls out, but this one wasn't that which I enjoyed (8.6/10). The Kale Caesar Salad was also good, just wished it came with a little more salad dressing, a problem which can be fixed (7.8/10). For our entrees, we order the Chicken Parmesan w/ side of Bolognese pasta and the Grilled Salmon Pasta w/ Alfredo Sauce. The chicken parmesan was cooked well, fresh, with amazing marinara, cheese, and parsley garnish (8.9/10). The Grilled Salmon Pasta comes in garlic butter sauce but we asked to replace with Alfredo sauce and it was the best decision we could have ever make. Their alfredo sauce is very authentic with ample cheese amount, tastes nothing like store bought alfredo which was great (9.4/10). Overall, the food had pretty great quaity. All in all, this restaurant was very good to us, service was on point. The food was definitely the best part of the experience. Pricing was not bad at all for the dishes we received, with adequate portioning. This is a great family-friendly restaurant if you have people from out of town and want a nice cozy Italian dinner. This might be my go-to for Italian if I have to choose again in the near future.

    It was good. Not fantastic. Service was great. The restaurant is big so bring everyone. We had two apps. Calamari and the artichoke hearts. The hearts are huge! I used the marinara from the calamari because I liked it better. They were good and very filling. The calamari was good with a nice crunch and tender. We ordered the Italian Salad. The dressing was way too salty and it was dressed too heavily. The lettuce was not right for an Italian salad. I had scampi. Cooked very well but too much sauce and not enough acid. My son loved the lasagna. The pesto pasta was fine but not fantastic. The restaurant has I think two bars and has a lot of seating. It's cozy and a great place for celebrating. I think it was an off night. I'll definitely return

    The service, food, and building were great! There is a variety of dishes to try. I highly recommend!!

    This is the "primavera" I got.
    Vanessa W.

    Service was horrible. Long wait time on everything. Took a good 10-15 mins for a waitress to show up at our table. We placed order right away then. My husband ordered a well done burger but he got a burnt burger. I ordered a Primavera but i got a tomato/marianna sauce veggie pasta. At this point, we just wanted to eat and leave. Waited another 10-15 mins to get our bill. This was not the end. Two days later, our credit card alerted us that we tipped 46% on that bill. Checking to see if it was right. Had to call a manager to get things straight. We got over charged cos someone misunderstood the tip amount.

    Chicken Parmesan
    Matt J.

    My family and I went on a Friday night after the holidays and they were booked but we were able to walk in with a 30 minute wait. The service from the bartender was excellent to the our server making us laugh. The food came out quickly and fresh. My chicken Parmesan was wonderful. Something about homemade marinara sauce just hits. All of their pizzas are 5+ and you cannot go wrong with it. I love how they keep the restaurant cute and decorative throughout the seasons.

    Anthonino's is always great food, reasonably priced. The service is excellent! Friendly, efficient and quick. We love the ambiance of being on the Hill, while being clean and modern.

    WOW. Great atmosphere, great food, great service. Came in at about 8:30, 2 adults 5 kids. Total chaos. Our server Bailee, was so patient, helpful and pleasant our entire time. I ended up ordering the lasagna. WOW. PIPING hot (actually burned myself on the dish it came in, lol), so flavorful and tasty. Pasta cooked to perfection. I wish it had more meat, but delicious nonetheless. My friend ordered pasta con broccoli and said her dish was also delish. My daughters had meatball pasta, a cheese pita pizza and shrimp Alfredo. All dishes were devoured. I will DEFINITELY BE BACK, I can't wait to try a pizza!!!!

    Beef Tortellini
    Kate K.

    I have been meaning to go here for awhile but finally went for lunch. I highly recommend you get a reservation ahead of time if you can- especially if it's over the lunch rush. There was about a 45 min plus wait if you didn't want to sit at the bar. The restaurant was much longer than what I thought. What's cool about Anthonino's is they do greek, italian and pizza! Its hard to decide. We did a mixture! We started with the saganaki appetizer, which was fantastic. It wasn't the traditional style where its put on fire at your table and served as a block of cheese. It was sliced into strips and grilled. Really flavorful and salty. It comes with pita bread and tzatziki dipping sauce. I wanted more! I also got a house salad, which was really good but I should have asked for the dressing on the side. They put too much on. For my main- I had Beef Tortellini with pink sauce. It really fresh and homemade tasting. Others got a salad with gyros and the fish stew- everyone loved their meals! Service was fast and our waiter was helpful. I would absolutely come back and try other things. Overall experience 4/5

It was as great as I remembered. I had their rigatoni with sausage, my wife had baked spaghetti with meatballs, my BIL had lasagna and my SIL had salmon. I also added a classic Ceasar salad. All of our entrees were excellent. The service is superb and definitely deserves a 5-star rating. Our waiter was excellent - he said he's been doing this for 18 years and was one of the best, most professional waiters I've ever met. Anthony, the manager, deserves special thanks for resolving an issue with where we were being seated. He was also the epitome of professionalism.
