    Our flight was cancelled so we got a hotel near the airport. We checked at the front desk and the clerk highly recommended Lombardo's. We took the shuttle and we were pleasantly surprised. We went around 5:30 for dinner. The hostess, who turned out to be our server, was cheerful and delightful. My husband has Celiac disease and has some pretty big dietary restrictions. Our server made note of his allergies. The prices were $$$. We ordered drinks and waited for our orders. Lombardo's had gluten free pasta! My husband ordered chicken Parmesan. He devoured it! Our server brought a small side dish of penne with Alfredo sauce. He loved it! I ordered the Fettuccini Alfredo with chicken. I've never had Fettuccini Alfredo THAT good. The sauce was so smooth, so creamy, I wanted so much more than I could eat. The Alfredo sauce was light, not a heavy cream sauce. If you're ever stuck in St. Louis and staying near the airport, you have GOT to stop in to Lombardo's. I'm in luck. I have our receipt from Lombardo's. Our server, who really set the tone for our evening, was Aleida. She was phenomenal!

    Had a terrible experience. They could not find our reservation upon arrival which is always a bad start. We stand there feeling like idiots while they look up and down the computer trying to see if we're legit. After they confirmed us, we were seated at a nice booth. The bread they served was weird and the wine was just ok. Upon ordering, my husband & I just were not very hungry after a long day snacking. We asked if we could split an entree and they said yes. Many of their entrees contained mushrooms & we both can't eat them. We asked if they could not add mushrooms to the rigatoni dish and the waitress said no. They are too busy and cannot remove the mushrooms. To us, that seemed odd especially if the dishes are freshy made. In fact, it seems like we'd be saving them a step, but maybe it's all pre made?? We ended up ordering the ravioli and it was mushy & buried in cheese. It was like eating one big plate with microwaved cheese on it. Gross. I could tell thee server seemed bugged even though she "smiled". And, it was my birthday dinner. We will not be back.

    We came here when we were in the area, followed by our hotel stay. We came on a super crazy, busy night, and they had the back rented out. Although it was very loud, and it was hard to hold a conversation because of the music, the staff did the best they could to accommodate everyone. I would say this is more of a finer dining restaurant. There is a bar area that is separate from dining that I think would be OK for casual, but most of the people we saw were dressed up and in jeans. All the staff members were very pleasant. We had the bartender as our server and she was very kind and built a report with us. We also enjoyed the customers in the bar area. Everyone was super engaging and we actually made friends with someone sitting at the bar area . It's such a great time when you can go into a restaurant and make friends as well as great customer service If we lived closer, we would definitely be here more often

    Toast Ravioli

    Went to eat here for a Christmas dinner and had a good time! The food was pretty good. We really liked the pasta and complementary bread. Service was amazing. Our server was very nice, attentive, and really funny. Atmosphere was a bit dark and cozy. There's street parking and a limited lot nearby. It gets pretty full for events especially during Christmas.

    Lombardos by the airport in St. Louis is such a great find!! Last month I was in town and at their location downtown. We started with a few cocktails and their iconic toasted ravioli. I don't know how they did it, but they were even better at this location. You HAVE to get these if you stop. We shared a salad which was fresh, but the ranch dressing was horrible. I wish high end places like this would have homeade dressings. We split the shrimp Lombardo which was AMAZING, but opted for the white sauce on our pasta. The white sauce was a big, tasteless letdown. We added mushrooms, and some leftover red sauce from our raviolis... it was still not enjoyable. However, the staff was attentive, timely, and knowledgeable. It's no wonder this place has been around for generations. I absolutley will go back. I'll just choose other dressings and stick to the red sauce!

    First time visiting this location with my parents for their 39th wedding anniversary. Had no idea this gem had been here for almost 30 years! My parents frequent the Lombardo's downtown location the most. We arrived right a little earlier than the restaurant opened, but we're allowed to seat in the dining room. The staff were all welcoming and pleasant. Our server Jeff, was definitely top-notch! The general manager even came to our table, wished my parents well for their anniversary, and gave us some history on the restaurant and the family chain. Food - chef's kiss! Ambiance - authentic. Will definitely be bac

    Cheesecake slice is so little.

    We had a reservation so we sat down as soon as we got there. Waiter was ok but we had to track him down for refills of our drinks. Never received the second drinks order when he brought us the bill. The food was very good. The toasted ravioli were amazing! However the bread was just sliced bread so I didn't care for it. We ordered dessert to go. The cheesecake was the smallest slice I have ever seen. Way overpriced! Very disappointed. It was just ok to me. Will probably not go back.

Being from the Bay Area in California, I had never heard of toasted ravioli so I added it to my itinerary.

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.

    Went to Maggiano's Little Italy with a party of 10. We had reservations and showed up on time but…read moredidn't get seated until about 15 to 20 minutes later. It was really crowded so we understood, and they do have a bar area to wait which was nice. Service was pretty slow, but our server was helpful when we had questions. The food was good overall. My favorite was the Our Famous Rigatoni "D" with chicken and mushrooms. It had really good flavor, I just wish it came out hot instead of lukewarm. Overall, decent food but the experience itself wasn't the best.
