Stopped in after a City game as we waited for the parking lot to clear Met Chris at the bar. She mixed a good cosmo and iced tea for the DD We learned the kitchen was closed but you could order t ravs. I thought great, over cooked, dried out pasta and abrasive pocket is not what I had in mind. However, this is hands the best toasted ravioli in St Louis. Big, not dried out. Tasty, meaty filling. Sauce a little too sweet for this east coaster. Overall, Lombardo's completely changed my opinion of the T Rav. We will return for the full menu before a game soon. read more

We went here for dinner, and it did not disappoint. The fried ravioli and fried artichoke hearts were such a delicious way to start our meal. I had the chicken and Gorgonzola sauce - the chicken and sauce were divine. The pasta on the side was a little bland, but honestly, everything else was so fantastic this place gets five stars anyway. Service was impeccable. The vibe was perfect. This is my new favorite spot in St. Louis. read more

We come here a few times a year. Love it for always being consistent. They manage to have something to accommodate everyone. It's always so good. We love the pasta and beef and veal. Salads are always good. This place is intimate and well decorated. With a darker lighting for a romantic feel. read more

Lombardo's Trattoria - Chicken Lucciano - Italian Near Me - Saint Louis, Missouri

I wanted to thank you for an exceptional evening for our group of 15! Mario, our waiter, was incredible. His knowledge of the menu, his service and professionalism and his ability to commit to MEMORY - 15 drink orders, then apps and then salads and entrees without a hiccup - no one does that anymore and certainly if they do, few with success. When the food came out he enlisted the entire staff to make sure it was properly served and "no auctioning". They too, were professional and engaging and So welcoming and friendly. The table was bussed constantly and even the crumbs removed. The drinks and waters were monitored, kept full and perfectly prepared. The caesar salads were crisp and perfectly dressed. I was amazed at the calamari - I live in Florida. Crisp and HUGE and a delicious remoulade. The entrees were beautifully presented and delicious. Other than the inability to finish the filets due to no room left in stomachs, I think we all cleaned our plates My veal saltimbocca was incredible. One of my friends got the pork chop and said it was the best he had ever had, and he gets around the food scene. I thank Mario, the staff and all of you for providing such a great evening that then included a meal! Our group had suffered a loss of a dear friend, age 34, from a 15-year battle royale with brain cancer. The funeral had been Saturday. We were looking forward to, but hesitant to celebrate. Lombardo's was the perfect relaxing and meaningful gathering of friends to start our holiday season. Thank you! read more

It's been a couple of days since my last review, so I thought I'd jump in here again. We were towards the back of the restaurant in what could be described as a "semi" room. SO much quieter than lots of restaurants which was VERY nice! The service was WONDERFUL and the cocktails were, again, spot on! The blue lighting was very strange, as can be seen in my pictures. My bigger complaint is that the prices seemed too high for the food received. The entrees didn't include even a house salad (had to be purchased separately). The food was GOOD, but just not worth what they were charging as far as I'm concerned. Except that Black Russian Pie! It's worth ALL they charge, and more! FANTASTIC dessert!!! read more

Great Meal. Walking Distance to Union Station. Nice Service and good menu. I sat at the bar. I was in town for an event and I had arena food all week, and I wanted a proper meal. I normally refuse to eat at hotel restaurants, but this restaurant is separate from the hotel. This place had a nice old school family business vibe. Thank you for a nice meal and the good service. read more

This Italian Trattoria is a nice place for dinner. We are in town for a conference and went here as group. They accommodated our party of six very well. Chad who was our server was well versed on not only the restaurant's menu but their sister's restaurant. He has worked at Lombardo's for 21 years and his expertise showed it. Their menu is smaller and the options are not a lot of the traditional choices like lasagna, spaghetti and meatballs or picattas. They had a white fish (I forget the name of the fish) with a lemon cream sauce as a special which is what I selected. A worker with us asked if they could make a dish that had a cream sauce more of a lemon sauce and they agreed to do that. They also removed the mushrooms from a seafood dish for someone else. The food was good including starting with their famous toasted raviolis. They recommend putting the Gorgonzola dressing on the raviolis which was a nice change of pace. I also got a Caesar salad and they provided the option of anchovies on the salad. Overall the food and service was good and would recommend giving it a try. I only removed the fifth star due to the limited menu choices but keep in mind, it is a Trattoria vs a Restaurante. Cin Cin! read more

My friends and I just got back from Lombardo's after a second consecutive night of going there for Dinner. First off the place has a modern low lit vibe to it. Our servers were amazing making great recommendations on multiple dishes. And lastly the food was amazing! After dinner on the first night i left my hoodie behind. when we called to see if it was there. I was told yes and instead of me having to go back to get it , the won manager dropped it off at my hotel on the way home. overall a just incredible place to eat at . i highly recommend this place to eat! read more

Mrs. K. and my nieces, grand nieces, and great-grand nephew went to Easter Vigil, and we needed a place to eat. They had picked this location, and I have never dined here in my 67 years of living in St. Louis, better known as The Loo. Undoubtedly, this restaurant stands out as one of the finest Italian establishments in St. Louis, embodying all the elements I cherish about Italian cuisine from my hometown. Legend has it that this is the birthplace of toasted ravioli. And my, were they a revelation. On special occasions, I also indulged in their house salad and the veal chop. It was a culinary masterpiece that could have been my last meal, and I would have departed in gastronomic bliss. While located in the Drury Inn complex, it has been adequately built to make it feel and look authentic. I loved the location and the feel of the place. The service was so good I left one of the most significant tips I have ever given. If you read this, please check out the pictures posted. They represent the food very well. read more

The food was great and everyone was full but most importantly they were very accommodating of our SMA volleyball team. Everyone left happy.

(8oz)Fillet steaks med. and Veal chop med.. All Delicious drinks were good and waiter was sun/Ray as sunshine he and the buss ppl kept our party of four happy and drinks coming and kept the evening moving to ensure a good evening being NYE '24.

Lombardo's Trattoria - Wine then to Miller Time. - Italian Near Me - Saint Louis, Missouri

Lovely service - amazing food - return visit did NOT disappoint. My 22 year old son said it was the best steak of his life. Delish toasted ravioli, the Italian potatoes were so yummmm!. I don't remember the name of the pasta dish I had - but I was LIFE CHANGING! (Rigatoni seafood) I've been super stingy with my 5 star reviews lately, and I feel lucky that 2 of the places I ate at while in ST Louis received them from me whole heartedly. read more

Traditional Italian Fine-Dining Experience! Environment: White table cloth, dim lighting, soft music, and decor that proves the sentiment as to why this establishment has been running in St. Louis' downtown for 20+ years. When you think of Italian fine dining, this place fits that classic definition. The service is quick and attentive. The staff is very friendly and approachable, and they made the experience personalized to us with jokes and great recommendations. Food/Drink: My party tried a variety of appetizers and dishes (too many to name here, see the pictures)! Each one was very well cooked and allowed the natural flavors of the individual ingredients to speak for themselves... except a lot of dishes were unfortunately under seasoned. Yes, you can always add more salt and you can't take it away, but when you're paying at this price point, you should expect near perfection. Notably, the marinara sauce (that came with the Toasted Ravs) was desperately begging for salt and maybe some herbs in my opinion. The seafood plates packed a big taste of the sea which made the dishes pleasurable to eat. The calamari was crisp and tasted fresh. The vegetablerisotto that came with some dishes was perfectly cooked but felt too simple with just cheese (the vegetables didn't really add much to the flavor)-- a mushroom stock risotto for vegetarians or a seafood risotto would elevate the dishes and the experience. A clear star of the night was the Toasted Ravioli!! The espresso martinis were a classic made with a fantastic espresso, but a whipped cream garnish felt a bit odd. There are better versions out there! Rating: 3.5/5, nothing extraordinarily stellar about this one, but is definitely a reliable bite in a fantastic atmosphere. Though well-cooked, a bit more attention could've been paid on the seasoning. Rumor has it they have great tiramisu too! read more

Wonderful!! Food and ambiance was delightful. Our server, Holly, was great! She checked all the boxes for a good experience.

Date night or a special event with friends? You should check out Lombardo's! It has a great ambiance and decor. The staff is friendly and helpful, and the location is great, near paid public parking right by the train station. The menu is good, with an even bigger wine list. I highly recommend the calamari! It's not the traditional chopped-up calamari. I would definitely visit again. read more

LOVE this restaurant! Classic Italian charm. Our server, Bill, was amazing; helpful, fun, friendly. We started with tempura lobster bites, offered as a special not on the menu. So good! They have a really nice wine selection. We chose an Italian Pinot Noir that was reasonably priced. Entrees ordered were Steak Gorgonzola and Seafood Linguini.All the food was absolutely delicious! Highly recommend! read more

Lombardo's Trattoria was recommended to us by the hotel so we popped by to check it out. My husband wanted a chicken salad (which was not on the menu), so she made it happen and it was delicious. I wasn't hungry so ordered the Shrimp De Jonghe & a Spiked Bellini - amazing, amazing appetizer & cocktail. The venue is dimly lite, classy furnishing but not ostentatious so we were very comfortable. I would definitely recommend this great restaurant. read more

Been here many times. Service, ambiance, food & drinks are always top tier. Never had anything even half questionable here. Great for a romantic meal out, a pre Blues game dinner or party. The flash fried spinach is the best. This time had the special bone in veal chop. This was incredible and the crust was so flavorful. Wanted to pick it up and chew the meat off the bone, but it's a classy place so self control won out! If you're in the Lou...well y'know, make an effort. read more

We really wanted to love this restaurant, but it was just "fine." The location is nice with free garage parking if you're dining at the restaurant. It's in the basement of the Drury and feels very beautiful and quaint. Our server and service overall were fantastic. We enjoyed our meal, but it was just fine. I had the filet Gorgonzola and my husband had the shrimp scampi. Both tasted good and weren't "bad" meals. The toasted ravioli and bread were underwhelming. The breading & fry on the ravioli was good, but it just tasted like a bland meatball inside. I didn't even finish mine and I love toasted ravioli. The bread in the bread basket was fine as well. The focaccia was just okay and the sesame crusty bread was lackluster. We wish it was worth the $150 price tag, but will not be back. read more

The food is amazing! Fried ravioli came highly recommended by a local, and it did not disappoint. The restaurant has very nice decor with an upscale feel. Our server was very kind and attentive. Three stars due lack of family friendliness. We're a family of 6, and we're told by the GM of the restaurant prior to coming in, it was family friendly. Went in after visiting union station Friday night and a large crowd of drunk adults had the run of the place. After several times of foul language and out burst we asked for our food to go. Staff did not ask the table to settle down rather thanked them for their generous tip on the way out. Food was delicious! read more

One of my most favorite toasted raviolis in STL! The rest of the food is just as delicious and service was immaculate. The only thing is it's pretty dark in the restaurant makes you ready for a nap after dinner and drinks! Will definitely be back read more

I made a reservation online and it was very simple. We are here before a show at the Stifel and we had a great experience. Our waitress was kind and attentive and the food was amazing!!! We got the calamari as an app and normally I am not a fan of this but they make there's differently and they are like strips and are flavorful with every bite you take. The sauce pair with it well. The bread was also a hit!! I played it safe and got fettuccini Alfredo but it did not disappoint. It was a calm and relaxing environment with dim lights and it made the experience even more intimate. We can't wait to go back!! read more

Absolutely amazing dinner! They were closing at 9pm, and we walked in at 8:30 after just arriving in town. I hate to come in to a place that close to closing, but the staff was so kind and accommodating. I had the tortellini and it was some of the best pasta I've ever had! I usually don't like peas in my pasta, but I ordered it as is and it did not disappoint! read more

I came solo for lunch on a Thursday and was immediately greeted and offered my choice of seating areas. I could choose from the dining area or the bar/lounge. I chose the lounge. The decor is romantic art deco (if there is such a thing) and I felt welcomed immediately. Warm bread with butter was brought to the table while I waited for the food to be served. I ordered the Lombardo Salad. It contains mixed greens, onions, tomatoes, olives, artichokes and cheeses with their house salad dressing, unless you choose a different dressing. For my entree, even though its offered as an appetizer, I ordered their House-made Toasted Ravioli. They are ovesized, lumpy, rectangular-shaped, meat (beef), spinach and cheese-filled toasted Ravioli. This lumpy goodness is served with marinara sauce that is covered with freshly-shaved Romano cheese. I must admit that I expected more flavor from the filling, but the ravioli is still very good and I would order it again on a future visit. read more

Been to this place many times - it is spot on and great every time. Don't be fooled with this place being in a Drury Inn hotel....their food hangs with the best of them. And to give further perspective - I can't stand Olive Garden. And it's places like this one, that let you know what Italian is like! Now for some dish comments: Toasted ravioli: These aren't your hard as a rock toaster raviolis; oh no. Lombardo's has the oversized rav's with an outside that is crisped up and yet still soft. Marinara is lighter tasting which compliments the rav's versus covering the taste up... Flash Fried Spinach: uhm....just try it and experience the melt in your mouth goodness. Calzoni: Maybe their best appetizer and flavors melded with this item. The prosciutto and Italian cheese used in this - gee does it work well; and I mean "well"! House Italian dressing and house salad: This isn't Wishbone Italian dressing. Lombardo's house Italian is rich tasting; clings to the salad and is wonderful. Shrimp Scampi Lombardo: the picture will do this entree no justice. Large prawns with a exceptional clean taste. But how they prepare with the garlic, butter, capers....and then the stuffed with some Italian breadcrumbs. Uhm....you'll never look at shrimp scampi the same... Seafood Rigatoni: a rich sauce covers the pasta; with greats scallops etc laced all within the dish. Presidential dinner for two: I won't go into detail....but this all of the courses you'll have with this dinner....are...excellent. The steak and how it's prepared...you'll wish you had a second steak! The short of this long review: The place does Italian right. Way right. Knock your socks off right! I'll finish with making a comment about the owner I've seen here a number of times: Tony Lombardo. I don't live in St Louis (If I did, I'd be eating at his place so much....the owner would really know me)! But what I've seen with Tony - he treats everyone like he really knows you. I believe he's one that appreciates people coming to his so he can serve them with a great dinner. That Tony is a person which takes a pride - yet is very honored to have had someone come to his place and enjoy his place. That....is a great owner that has this kind of mindset. read more

Food was good and service was excellent. Partner had grilled veggie plater on risotto. I had the chicken Gorgonzola with broccoli penne pasta. Lisa was our waitress.

I really wanted to like this place but it was a miss for me. Shockingly the toasted ravioli wasn't my taste but our entrees were good. Unfortunately for us, the experience was ruined by our particular server. We noticed that he treated us differently than the other patrons. When speaking he was hostile and the service was inhospitable. Unfortunately we will not return. read more

Stopped in just for a quick dinner. Made a reservation but on a Wednesday evening I don't think it was necessary. Started with a red wine (Talia Malbec) that was good, very smooth. The Fried Calamari Strips were good. Breading was heavy but not oily and half of the calamari was cooked perfect and the other half chewy (over cooked). The sauce that came with it was a spicy aioli and not cocktail sauce. It was ok. Baked Ravioli was really good. The raviolis were huge and could be a meal for two if you're not a big eater. The Chicken Parmigiano looked really good although I did not try it. I was told it was fantastic. Our server could have been more personable. He was very quick with us. Didn't want to answer questions and he acted like he didn't want to be there. Which I really can't stand. Don't get me wrong, the service was good and he was a decent guy, just not sure he likes his job. The atmosphere was very Italian-esq. I would have given it 4 stars if the server was better. read more
