This is one of the nicest high end restaurants in St George! The interior features a traditional Italian/Turscan theme decore and a second floor dining area for large groups. There was a piano but no accompanist when we went in. The Sea Bass was really good, nice flavor and moderate portions. But the price is up there! Our server was very refined and knew the menu, was able to explain everything and offer specials. The only down side was the Giant Scallops which were underseasoned, a bit undercooked, and the risotto was undercooked as well. read more

Came here with my dad because the reviews were great! My dad loved the sea bass and the mussels. He said the flavor was good and the meal was not heavy. I had the scallops and they were nice. The restaurant has high ceilings and two floors. The place is very large and you the volume is moderate. read more

Sadly our second experience here was a huge letdown. The new location is okay but lacks the coziness of the original restaurant (even though it was in a strip mall behind a gas station. Seriously). My husband made reservations for his birthday. Online showed no openings, but when he called there was availability. A few tables were empty but all were socially distant for Covid requirements. Most servers and cooks did not wear masks that covered their noses and mouths. The chairs weren't comfortable except for the center table that had huge, padded chairs. There was a live singer with recorded music who performed until 8:00 on a Thursday night. About thirty minutes later they played nice background songs that helped fill the awkward silence in the cavernous space. It was several minutes before we were acknowledged at the entrance and then again before a server arrived to take our drink orders. Then at least ten minutes before bringing water and taking our dinner orders. My husband asked for calamari, a Caesar salad and scallops with risotto. I ordered French onion soup and Hungarian goulash with spaetzel. About ten minutes later four tiny pieces of yummy bread were delivered to our table. Then five minutes later balsamic vinegar and olive oil were brought. The calamari was never served or mentioned. At least we weren't charged for it, but my husband really wanted to try it. It's doubtful there will be a next time here. Our food was delicious except for the bland spaetzle. There was a piece of aluminum foil in my food that I unfortunately bit instead of noticing it on the plate. Yuck. They brought a refreshing scoop of lemon sorbet between appetizers and entrees. The service was terrible and so slow. Our sever said she would bring us more bread and refill our water glasses several times without it happening. She would always apologize for taking so long to help us but she took time to chat with the singer and mess with the stereo system, etc. instead of paying attention to her customers. She forgot which of us ordered what foods. After 90 minutes, we didn't want to wait another 45 minutes for dessert. The owner/chef came out at the end of the evening to greet guests which was nice. Don't sit near the bathrooms--awful odors!! Prices were a bit high for the small portions. It would have been good to have fresh vegetables on the menu. They really need to train their servers better. read more

Dependably good. Sourcing appears solid, and preparation/presentation are good. Staff is well trained and cordial. Chef makes the rounds to ensure quality and satisfaction. I should note the portions--particularly for nightly specials--can be very large! read more

Everything at the restaurant is amazing food service ambience. We are originally from Southern California where it is easy to get very good fine dining all the time. This restaurant would be memorable even in that environment. Trust me, St George this is a restaurant is a treat. Take advantage of it you will not be sorry. read more

This may have been one of the best meals we have experienced while traveling as couples. Sea Bass, Rack of Lamb (and that mint sauce-oh my) and our friends got the Surf and Turf for two. The toffee pudding was unique and wonderful. The service provided by Ashley was impeccable. The thought that went into the menu as well as the place settings / dishes show a fine attention to detail that was much appreciated. read more

The food was delicious and the atmosphere was quiet and romantic. We had a great experience.

My girlfriend and I had high hopes going to Aragosta during our first visit to St. Georges for a nice dinner. Looking at it's Google reviews, I was expecting this place to be nothing short of a banger. And then I walked into the twilight zone. Weird jazzified instrumentals playing, decor stolen from the 80's (fake plants and all), and a petulant fly buzzing around us for the entire experience. Credit where credit is due, our server was very attentive and nice. The food on the other hand was sub par at best. No real flavors, under seasoned and lacked any passion or creativity. Not worth the money or frankly the high reviews it has on Google. Stay clear. read more

My wife and I booked a reservation here to celebrate both Father's Day and our Anniversary. The atmosphere and decor was very inviting and relaxing. I server was amazing as we felt catered to every dining needs! The Fillet slices melted in our mouths as did the King Crab legs, which were cut in half along the length of the legs making it so much easier to enjoy. The Chef came out congratulating us on our wedding anniversary celebration along with offering me a long stem rose too present to my wife of now 13 years. At the end of our amazing meal we were surprised as they also brought out a delicious dessert with the words Happy Anniversary written onto the plate! Right before the surprise dessert came out we had asked the chef to come back over so we may take a picture of him to remember. It was at this time that we realized that he was the same chef from a restaurant that we had eaten at for our 2nd Anniversary. Neither my wife or I remembered the name of the restaurant that we definitely remember the chef that caterers to his customers! My wife and I have already talked about our return in the near future! read more

Beautiful restaurant, we went here to celebrate our anniversary. I like to give 5 stars but 4.5 for me due to the wording say menus is subject to change on website, so not sure what's going to be on the menu is weird. I had the chateaubriand, my husband had the shrimp Alfredo. Great flavor in both dishes! Our waitress wasTee. Found out she is from my family's country of Yugoslavia, it was great pleasure to hear her speak with the accent. She was very attentive and knew when I told her I was gluten free and dairy allergies. She told chef Imi and he made my food perfect! My sangria was amazing I even had another one. See pictures of our dinner below. A great touch with the chef making sure everything was great. He even brings u a rose. A great restaurant in St George finally. Thank read more

Nothing is prepared ahead. Everything cooked to order and is 5 Star in quality. The service is 5 Star, as well. Our server, Kelcy, anticipated our every need.

Neither my husband or I have had a salad more delicious than the Cesar salad we opened up our delicious meal with. The service was excellent, I'm convinced we wouldn't have eaten so deliciously without our lovely server's recommendations. The ambiance was amazing, the pianist played "first kiss" for us. We will be returning soon! read more

A meal I will remember for the rest of my life. Amazing hospitality paired with a great meal. What more can you ask for

Fantastic food. Great ambience. 5 star restaurant at 3 star prices. We go out of our way to go there every time we drive cross country.

Fantastic restaurant, service and chef! Came out of state for a friend's birthday and they took care of everything! We were seated in their upstairs balcony area and it was perfect! I ended up adding more people at the last minute and they accommodated by setting up a perfect children's table. In the end, the chef came up and gave our friend a flower, thanking us for coming. They made it such a special experience for all of us. Highly recommend! read more

Biggest issue was my wife's dish - the Oscar filet Mignon for $59. It was supposed to come with snow crab on the top as it says in the menu. I am a seafood connoisseur and I noticed that my wife's crab meat did not look right. I looked closer and realized it was imitation crab. I know crab very, very well. I can tell if it is king, snow or Dungeness, but ESPECIALLY if it is imitation crab. If I'm paying $60 for a dish, it should have exactly what it says it has instead of some cheap replacement. read more

Excellent European cuisine, outstanding service, wonderful ambiance. Great for special or any occasion.

Came here for a birthday dinner with a group of 12. We were in our own private room. Kelcey and the other wait staff were very nice. We ordered appetizer platters and all were very good. They had several specials. I had the Gouda soup which had a nice flavor and the lobster ravioli which was very good. The others enjoyed their food as well. We also ordered dessert trays and they were all delicious, especially the lava cake and the toffee cake. Parking lot on site. read more

My wife and I had different filet dishes. I ordered mine medium rare and got it very rare (I know the difference) and my wife ordered hers medium and got it medium rare minus. Salads were good. Bread was good but no butter or olive oil offered. Website indicated house wines available. Not. Ordered glasses of wine that cost more than twice indicated for house wine on website. Very short pour. Service was good. Ambiance very nice. A pleasant surprise. All in all, probably won't return. read more

Nice waitress but they were terribly under staffed. Our food was not good and the service was very slow. It was not the quality you'd expect for the price. A $90 wagu steak that was cut so thin it was terrible and it was not tender. We have eaten there before so we were greatly disappointed unfortunately we won't be back. read more

Summary - food had some hits and misses, the ambience needs work. Have you ever felt like your life is a movie or just surreal...like your life just turned into a crazy, bonzo campy musical? Well don't panic, have a glass of wine, maybe a bottle and just be in the moment. Follow me...if you dare, into the Twilight Zone: "You're traveling through another dimension, a dimension not only of sight and sound but of mind. A journey into a wondrous land whose boundaries are that of imagination. That's the signpost up ahead - your next stop, the Twilight Zone!" Imagine if you will, you and your wife have driven miles of the desolate but stark beauty of almost alien landscape of eastern Utah. You've experienced the fantastical landscape of Moab, Arches and Zion. You check in at your hotel, let's pretend it's the Advenire in St George. You decide on a moment of fleeting whimsy to try a highly reviewed restaurant. When you enter the restaurant the wait staff seems confused...almost to question Should you be at this fine dining establishment? They ask in a bit of perturbed manner, if youre with the other party behind you. You patiently say no. Then they ask, if you or the party behind you who arrived first. You grit you teeth. What you want to say is..."idiot, if the party behind me arrived first, then they would be ahead of me." Instead, you calmly say, you arrived first. On to the food. The calamari...show's up with cocktail sauce. You quickly ask yourself if you are at a Captain D's because you're not sure if a fine European dining experience should include ketchup and horseradish mix rather than maybe a little Marinara or simple aioli. The lobster bisque texture was off, almost too thickened but, the flavor was surprisingly good. The seared scallops with truffle risotto was a miss. The scallops themselves were well seasoned and sear spot on. However, the risotto was mealy, undercooked and otherwise unpleasantly crunchy. Risotto should be firm and creamy...instead the risotto was crunchy, lacked richness and had no layers of flavor and complexity. Truffle flavoring is too often used as a crutch to avoid developing layers of flavors that can be achieved with great cooking. But...the food is really only the Amuse-bouche of your twilight zone journey. Imagine if you can, a fine European dining experience in what looks like a furniture showroom. The true pièce de résistance is the flat screen TV hung from the indoor balcony that plays on a repeat loop cringe worthy clips of the Rat Pack sing alongs (including those of the rat pack giving crap to Sammy...because as you know, it's funny to use Sammy as the butt of all their marvelous jokes) Dean Martin TV specials and Johnny Carson episodes. As you pay for your dinner, you say to yourself that this has been one of the most unique dinner theater shows you've ever experienced. But then...it hits you. This wasn't a show...it wasnt a campy tribute who knows what bit of nostalgia. And then you hear faintly in the air, quietly at first but with building urgency...(que the music from the Twilight Zone). read more

This restaurant is one of the best, if not the best we have been to. We travel around the world and have eaten at some of the best. I don't think any could do better than this. Chef Imi greeted us when we arrived. The restaurants atmosphere is beautiful. The server was outstanding and the food was beyond delicious. The lobster bisque soup was delicious, the steak was cooked to perfection and melted in your both, the lobster tail was sweet and tasty, the vegetables were excellent and the dessert was unbelievable. If we ever come back to St. George, we will definitely eat here again. Make sure you make reservations. read more

We have had very good experiences with Aragosta. The food and service is fantastic. The layout of the restaurant is a bit more open floor plan than we like, but they do a good job making it feel quaint and comfortable. Just wish there was a little more privacy at the tables but the food and service make it all worth it! read more

Food is always consistantly superb. Its where I always go for birthdays and the ocassional special treat.

There for a financial presentation paid for by the host. I had the filet medallions in "wilde" mushroom sauce. It was okay but a little on the bitter side. The host paid for dessert trays which they brought out, one for every four people. We and the couple sitting next to us never got one. They eventually brought over one of the other trays which had been thoroughly picked over and the ice cream completely melted. There was barely anything left. The chairs were extremely uncomfortable and my back was killing me by the time we left. read more

Service was great. Very accommodating and the food was wonderful. The atmosphere really made you feel at welcome.

Aragosta is our go to for fine dining! Quiet ambiance with an an old world style. The food is amazing and decently priced for the excellent quality. Every time we have been there the chef has come out at some time to check on the food! Service is always impeccable. We have had Stefania wait on us twice. She is so sweet and does an excellent job. Go there, you won't regret it!! read more

We took our parents here to celebrate their 50th anniversary and couldn't have been more pleased with the experience! The chef helped us find the perfect table while making the reservation, stopped at our table before the meal to greet us and offer his congratulations to our parents (and a rose to our mom), and again afterward to make sure everything had been perfect. Our waitress, Kelcey, was perfectly attentive. She was there for whatever we needed but didn't hover. She made suggestions and was pleasantly social. The food was all beautiful and delicious! Definitely the fanciest any of us had ever eaten. We got the sampler platter and enjoyed trying lots of different things that we might not have usually picked. The burrata and sundried tomatoes were personal favorites and I was surprised to learn that I like smoked salmon! There were 8 of us and almost everyone picked something different and then let everyone at the table taste and everything was yummy! We provided a special cake that they were happy to bring out to us at the end of the meal and had even fancied the tray up to make it even more fancy. Overall, it was AMAZING! Can't wait for another special occasion so that we can go back! read more
