Anthonino's Taverna

We always like to find a spot that @guyfieri has gone to on @Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives when taking family trips. The Scarato brothers opened their restaurant in 2003 and come from an Italian and Greek parents. The items on their menu are family recipes and is prepared by hand with locally sourced ingredients. We ordered the Toasted Raviolis for an appetizer. These were absolutely delicious. The raviolis were well flavored and fried to perfection. The marinara sauce was a flavor bomb. My wife does not like red sauce and kept wanting more. We were even using the complimentary bread to dip in it. For dinner the kids shared an Alfredo pasta. The Alfredo sauce isn’t your Olive Garden Alfredo, this is what I can only imagine it tastes like in Italy. I ordered the Chicken Marsala which came with a side of your choice and I chose Alfredo. The chicken was a nice sized cutlet and loaded with Marsala sauce. The sauce was well flavored and not heavy at all. My wife had the House Salad and added 4 shrimp to it. The salad is romaine lettuce, red onion, cherry tomatoes, pepperoncini, Kalamata olives, fet, cucumber and served with a creamy Greek dressing. I do not care for salads, but this salad was so good. The Greek dressing tasted like a mix of Ceasar dressing, Italian dressing and honey mustard. I promise, you will get all those flavors and they work together. They have been recognized for this dressing and once you try it, you can tell why. The shrimp were huge and cooked beautifully. I’m not sure what they do to them, but honestly they were one of the best tasting shrimp we ever had. This is a fantastic restaurant. On a Thursday evening, there was a wait. You can tell how popular this place is, and for good reason. I wish that we lived closer so that we could have these great flavors again and again.

Talk about delicious food. We tried the toasted raviolis and they were great. The salad was wonderful too and the pizza! Such a treat! Terrific service and atmosphere. We would definitely go back!

Lives up to the hype!!! Toasted Ravioli and house made mozzarella sticks were excellent!! Pizza was very good as well, maybe a little too oily for me. Wait staff did an incredible job. Parking is tough with only street parking in a neighborhood.

Had a blast on Friday night at Anthonino’s with our small group. The atmosphere was loud and bubbly, which we enjoyed! Our group ordered the toasted raviolis, the Italian salad, tutti mare, the gabbagool pizza, the Bolognese and ravioli (sub Alfredo sauce). Our highlights were the toasted ravs (worth all the hype they get in the reviews), the pizza and the bolognese. The others items we ordered were good, but not as good as others we’ve had on the Hill. The only thing I would caution on ordering is the espresso martini. It seemed like a premade mix and the grounded espresso beans were not strained out. This made the drink super grainy and not enjoyable to drink at all. Besides that, the service was super quick and I believe the prices are reasonable for the portion size you receive. Would go again to try more of their pizzas! Highly recommend having reservations to avoid long wait times.

We were in town for a wedding and took my mom out for a nice Italian late lunch (6/13/25). The corner entrance makes you think it will be a yummy but a bit dated little establishment. I was so wrong. Once you enter the restaurant opens up to a fresh, up to date dining room and bar. Completely inviting. Our server was fun and friendly and kind to my elderly mom. We all ordered something different from the home-made pasta section. We had fried ravioli and the yummy fresh bread. The complete experience from food to service to drinks and just genuine FUN was a 10 out of 10! I loved everything about this experience.

One of the best restaurants on The Hill. You will find not only Italian dishes but also Greek specialties. Excellent service! We had lunch that started with appetizers, continued with a pizza with THE BEST crust, lasagna and ended with Tiramisu.

I tried this Italian place on the Hill for the first time, and I was a little disappointed. The place is nice , the dining room was not very busy still they put us a group of 4 outside . The menu is typical of every Italian restaurant on the hill, I ordered the calamary with a nice portion for an appetizer, then the pasta with seafood had so much butter on the plate that a fish could swim on it, a total turn off. I can say the food was ok overall. There is room for improvement, but the restaurants on the hill are not what it used to be back a decade ago.

Very good Italian restaurant at reasonable price. So what made this place different from the other potentially fabulous restaurants over on The Hill?? I can't really tell you that just yet but I know on a random wed evening the estimated wait for a table for two was 1 hr and the actual 15 min we waited was non stop people with to go orders. Obviously the locals love this place, so here's my opinion. The homemade meatballs and pasta both have a particular texture when chewing that proves handmade. The meatballs were so tender and with a nice ratio of different meats and spices, I would definitely order meatloaf at this place. Not to be ignored but I also ordered the kale caesar and was pleasantly surprised. I thought I was going to get a basicB salad but caesar dressing mix was flavorful without overpowering anchovie and fresh parm. Highly recommend their calmiari. But let's go back to the meatballs, my only complaint is why aren't they bigger??? Can't wait to go back again and try the pizza.

Went in for lunch on a Friday while travelling through. What a fantastic find. It's a big restaurant - lots of seating. Parking in the street is free and was plentiful at lunchtime. Service was spot on. Filled water glasses, came back and checked up - well done! Wife is gluten free and they catered to her every wish with a gluten free menu. She had the stuffed grape leaves - best she has ever had. I tasted - wonderful herby flavor. I had bolognese. Nice sauce - could have been meatier - but the pasta was exceptional. They put a burrata like cheese on top that put the dish over the top. I loved it.

Our mission to try toasted ravioli led us to Anthonino's, where we also thought that we were getting St. Louis-style pizza, but it actually turned out to be just pizza. In whichever case, we had a great experience here, mostly due to the fact that we ended up chatting for a while with these two very nice local women while we were all waiting for our respective tables. We learned a lot about the city from them! BTW you can get drinks at the bar while you wait; they had a nice version of an aperol spritz and there's a lager collaboration with Urban Chestnut Brewing Company. We had already picked out our dishes while we were waiting and started with the crispy artichokes, toasted ravioli, and kale caesar salad. Everything was pretty good! We especially appreciated the artichokes because they were the bottoms, so even if they were not fresh (which they probably weren't), it was a nice switch from the hearts. They were cooked well and came with an interesting lemony sauce. The ravioli were...definitely different! It's kind of like eating a dry meat-filled cracker, so they've definitely got a crisp to them. We really did not enjoy the red sauce they were served with because it was quite metallic-tasting. The kale caesar was OK but it had too many breadcrumbs and too much dressing. As we get to the pizza portion of the evening, we no have to mention our waiter, whose ultimate goal seemed to be to engage our table as little as possible. After "the Sicilian" pizza came out and he graced us with a "how is everything?", we mentioned that the pizza was really greasy (because it was), and he started soliloquizing how it was really "salt water" from the pepperoni and not oil (which it empirically was), that they learned about during their training, etc., etc. Lolzzzz! Well, never hear that one before. No matter, it was still really good. Bottom line, this was the typical "Hill" St. Louis experience that we were looking for, and it delivered. Four stars, but really wondering what our thoughts would be had we not met those wonderful folks before the meal who put us in such good spirits. It's true what they say about Midwesteners!

Anthonino's is my favorite spot on the hill. It's my go to when people are in from out of town or even when I'm just wanting a great Italian meal! Their pizzas, pastas, and apps are all amazing! My go to dishes are Baked Goat Cheese, Toasted Ravioli, Pasta Pomodoro, Italian Salad, and any of their pizzas.

We ordered to-go curbside and were pleasantly impressed with Anthonino's food. Their curb side service was excellent too, they texted me as soon as I pulled up and brought my order out right to my car. The toasted ravs were everything you could want from t-ravs and the pizza was also really nice, except next time I'd probably opt for cheese vs. the four meat which is what I had. Also, the pasta was awesome. It was simple, but comparable to dishes I've had in Italy. Overall, would be coming back!

Good visit. Open later than others so I visited after a delayed flight. Staff were friendly. Bread and oil delicious! I had the kale Caesar which was very good, and the beef tortellini. The vibe was relaxed and more casual. Tiramisu was good.

Located in the hill neighborhood in St. Louis, this little gem is serving up some great dishes. We stopped in here to carb up before a 5K race and sat at the bar. The bartender, Bryce, was very friendly and knowledgeable. Our food came out quickly, and it was delicious! Please see the pictures for descriptions

Anthonino's is easily my favorite restaurant in St Louis. It's one of those restaurants you will comfortable dressing nice or on your way to a ballgame. We have always had wonderful service. They bring complimentary bread and oil to the table. The seasoned oil is delicious and the bread We always get the goat cheese appetizer. It comes with toasted pita. I have included pictures of our different dishes. I would highly recommend this restaurant- the Italian is amazing but so is the Greek!

I was excited to eat here. The menu looked to be a mix of Italian and Greek and I love both cuisines. We had made reservations for 6:15pm on a Wed evening, but arrived around 5:30pm and there was plenty of open seating. We requested a booth and found the atmosphere to be excellent. The booths have high walls which make them seem really private. The service here throughout the evening was friendly and excellent. Between my wife and myself we ordered the Saganaki, Greek Salad, Caesar Salad with Gyro meat, Chicken Parm with a side of Bolognese pasta. The warm bread and warm olive oil was fantastic and the best part of the meal. The saganaki was "grilled" and tasted nothing like the fried versions I've had other places. I liked the crushed croutons on the Caesar Salad and was excited about getting Gyro meat as a protein addition, however, the meat was dry and the overall dish was just "meh". I tried my wife's Chicken Parm and it was also a bit dry and I didn't care for the sweetness of the sauce. Had the same problem with the Bolognese sauce on her side pasta. My wife said her Greek Salad was one of the best she's ever had.

Wanted to try a new spot with some outdoor seating and Anthoninos did not disappoint! The outdoor tables are just on the side of the building/ near the side walk but were sufficient for us to get to enjoy some nice weather! Our server was knowledgeable about the menu and so helpful with picking our pizza!

One thing that I learned from my trip to St. Louis is that it has a very big Italian restaurant presence. Most of those restaurants are located on The Hill which is a neighborhood. Anthonino's Taverna was my last meal while in town and I wound up saving the best for last. I had dinner there on a Thursday night and arrived without a reservation but only had to wait about 20 minutes for a table. This restaurant has a lot of inside seating along with outside seating too. Add a full bar and this restaurant gets loud. Don't expect a quiet romantic kind of dinner experience here. I ordered the Tutti Mare entree for $19 and added a house salad for another $7. The complimentary bread and olive oil basket arrived shortly after. It was very good bread and so I had to remember to not eat too much of it. Then the salad arrived with romaine, red bell peppers, cherry tomatoes, pepperoncini, olives, cucumber and feta cheese with Greek dressing. It was a very good tasting salad made with fresh ingredients. Shortly after that the main dish appeared. The clams, squid, shrimp and mussels bathed in olive oil garlic butter sauce over spaghetti pasta that is house made. There was plenty of seafood in this meal and for $19 it was a steal. The olive oil with garlic butter sauce was delicious but the star of the show was the pasta. Absolutely perfect! I went to Rome and Florence last year and the pasta quality was by far the best I've ever had. This pasta was the best pasta that I have had since then. Perfectly cooked and the taste was legit. It turned this meal from a 4 score to a 5. Even though I was stuffed after this meal, I think I could have eaten another bowl of just the pasta. It was that good. Bree was my server and did a fine job. Anthonino's is an excellent restaurant with a lively atmosphere. I understand why it is so popular and will remember this meal and that pasta for a while.

Came by on a Wednesday night for dinner, and it was just a mediocre meal. I guess I had higher expectations before coming here and the food was just okay. Took us about 20-25 minutes to get seated, and I was surprised by how large the restaurant was. From outside, it doesn't look so big. Our servers were friendly and food came out very fast. The bread they served was excellent. My clam pasta though was too salty and was nothing special. It was about $16 pre tax and I felt overpriced for the portion and the taste. Only street parking available but finding parking was not too bad. I'd imagine weekends might be a nightmare.

We finally made it back to Anthonino's & we loved every minute of it! We went on a Tuesday around 2:00pm. We took an Uber from downtown & were able to get dropped off right out front. We were greeted as soon as we walked in. There was about a 15 minute wait for a table (it was one of the first warm weather days so everyone was out for lunch that day). So we put our names down & grabbed a seat at the bar. We both ordered a drink & by the time we took our first sip our table was ready. We were able to sit in Christina's section & she took the best care of us. We started with fresh mozzarella sticks & toasted ravioli. The last time we were here the toasted ravioli was my favorite thing I had.... However the fresh mozz sticks took the No.1 spot this trip. They were perfectly crispy on the outside & had the perfect cheese pull. We also wanted to try something new so we ordered the Gyro pizza. It was SO good. The gyro meat was perfectly spiced & tender. All the toppings complimented each other. I told my boyfriend I could have stayed there all day. It's such a cozy vibe with incredible & friendly service. Before we left I popped into the ladies restroom which had 2 stalls & was very clean. If you get the chance to visit this place, GO! You won't regret it.

The lasagna was top notch! They use sausage in pretty much everything so hopefully you like sausage! I loved the sausage in the lasagna but I'm not used to spicy sausage in meatballs... Caesar salad was good but I didn't get to finish it because they brought my entree out a few mins after the salad. Place was clean and spacious. I hate being crammed! Service was fantastic and we got good portions! Great authentic place to visit on The Hill!

Had a nice dinner at this restaurant on a very cold snowy evening in February. They have no parking lot, but free street parking was available. Of the food items we tried, we all enjoyed the toasted ravioli. The Alfredo pasta with broccoli and the pasta with grilled salmon were pretty good, but not necessary life-changing. The lasagna, served in its own metal dish, looked the most impressive of our choices. And the beef braciole was described to us as "chewy", but the sauce was praised. The ambiance is dim and romantic and would be suitable for a business meeting or a special occasion. On a side note that was in no way the fault of the restaurant, one of the members of our party fell on the curb and sustained serious injuries. When another member of the party went in to call 911, the owner of the restaurant came out and stayed in the bitter cold with us until the ambulance arrived. He even was able to borrow a couple of blankets from another restaurant patron. So it's nice to know that the restaurant is run by kind people.

As a Sicilian who lives to eat and doesn't eat to live I'm QUITE picky on my Hill favorites. Anthonino's rolls in my top 3. For one, I love the Greek/Italian crossover having grown up around the famous Olympia Kebob House family. For starters, their decor is spruced up having been redone. It's rustic reminiscent of an Italy based stone restaurant inhabited for generations but kept up nicely. The service is always on point and attentive. I personally cherish this hotspot because they have homemade pasta. I've enjoyed the pizza but hard to side step from fresh pasta. The traditional Greek dishes are all on point but I'd say my personal favorite side dish is the stl CLASSIC t-ravs. A must visit. Thanks for the many years of family gatherings where everyone talks at once, cozy date nights, and belly laughter with friends. Cheers.

Was recommended to try St. Louis Pizza by the locals however I have to warn you this spot is not known for St. Louis Pizza or food. We waited over an hour but it was well worth the wait! Put down your phone number and then they text you when the table is ready. Ordered: *Calamari- had a great crispy texture. Not that many tentacles. Which is a win in my books! They have two different sauces to dip in. *Toasted ravioli- this is my first time trying ravioli and I have to say this was really amazing not overly saucy because you get to dip as you please. And it was filled with meat. How a nice crisp to the bite. *Kids small Pasta marinara with short noodles-my kids love this dish it was really good. *Prince Edward Island mussels - wish this was a little bit warmer but it tastes excellent. Flavorful. *4 meat hand toss pizza- fully loaded with pepperoni and cheese. Tasted great comes in only a 14 inch size. Overall, Clean environment. A bit of an old school vibes. Casual attire is fine. Very friendly and attentive staff. Food comes out super fast. Would I come back? Oh heck yes I would! My family of 4 were super happy campers! Definitely recommend this gem to all of my fellow Yelp Foodies! Tips: *Street parking *Indoor seating only *They have a bar area *Credit card accepted *Kids menu available *Restroom available for customers *They do catering and private events as well. *They sell their marinara sauce in a jar. *Corkage fee *Parties of 10+ 20% gratuity fee added to bill. *$2 dessert fee pp added if you bring in outside dessert.

Went to Anthonie's for lunch and was impressed with pizza and pasta. The staff was very friendly, and the ravs were delicious,

Anthonino's is a go to for my family. We had a reservation, so we were seated quickly. Reservations are encouraged cause they are usually busy. The baked goat cheese with the toasted pita bread is one of my favorite appetizers, we also did the mussels and toasted raviolis since we had a big group, All delicious. The tutti made with the pink sauce is my go to pasta but they changed the noodle and it was a much thinner noodle than normal which sadly was not as good. Not sure if this is a permanent change or just something they did in a pinch. We ended the night with martinis, I had the chocolate and loved the shaved chocolate topping. My boyfriend has the espresso martini and he was a fan. We also had the Tiramisu, one of my favs on the hill.

This is quite possibly the best lunch I've ever had! From the moment you walk into the restaurant, you are warmly greeted, seated immediately, and all of the specials described to you in detail. This is a super cute place to come for lunch, bring a date, or have a corporate dinner at. And it's also spotlessly clean. The toasted ravioli is amazing! I was afraid the hype and TV appearances might make it bigger than it is. Not the case! It's so good and their marinara is a perfect match for them. I opted to go with the steak pasta special and I am so happy that I did. It's a risky combination to have as sometimes it comes out too rich, etc but they did this PERFECTLY. It's probably my favorite "Italian" dish of all times at this point. My only struggle was to refrain from licking the plate. This is an amazing place! Anytime I am in the area, I plan to visit again.

Delicious dinner spot!!!!! We started with espresso martinis which were a 7/10, they were a bit watered down & the server said they were pre-mixed. It took a minute for our server to bring out bread, but when he did it was very good!! Came with olive oil and butter to put on top We ordered 2 pizzas for 6 of us and had plenty of leftovers because the pizzas were large. I loved the veggie pizza, we added feta and it was so good!!! Don't knock broccoli on a pizza until you try it! The kale caesar was also phenomenal. The dressing was not fishy at all & it was covered in parmesan cheese and bread crumbs - yum!!! We went to celebrate my friend's birthday & they even brought out a little cannoli for her with a candle. Can't wait to go back for more pizza and try a pasta next time!!!

A lunch hangout let to me trying out the meatball pasta here. It was great and boy is that a monster sandwich, the fries were crispy and the service was good. I'd say it's the bread for me that really does the trick. Whoever makes these deserve a raise! Great food spot as usual

I would give the entrees 4.5 stars. We ordered pasta carbonara and pasta bolognese. Both were very good dishes but could have used some greater depth and complexity to the flavors (ample portions perhaps meant in the leftovers for the next day). The bread service was soft and fresh and with a house salad both were very enjoyable. Our server LeAnn was a jewel and added to the patio dining experience.

Finally made it back to the Hill for some great Italian food and visited Anthonio's Taverna. Lots of recommendations from both the Yelp Army and friends praising Anthonio's lunch and dinner options. We visited on a late Saturday afternoon and was surprised Anthonio's was very busy before the dinner rush. We waited a few minutes to be seated in a booth but table seating was open. Our server was quick to provide some recommendations and well as take our drink order. We've been new to order appetizers more and went with the fried artichoke hearts. Several lightly fried artichoke hearts served with lemon and a light sauce. Was very good and definitely worth ordering again. Anthonio's has an extensive menu of delicious dishes to include pasta, pizza and classic Italian cuisine. We went with the Carbonara with grilled sausage and chicken Alfredo. Both dishes were delicious, seasoned perfectly and generous portions. Restaurant had a very intimate decor for intimate meals or a special dinner with guests. I highly recommend calling ahead if you're interested in visiting with a large party. Service was very attentive always keeping drinks filled, and tables were serviced quickly. Anthonio's Taverna was an excellent experience and highly recommend. Definitely coming back in the near future.

A very cute restaurant. We came on a Tuesday night and it was busy. I was told that i had to try the toasted ravioli and it was good. I took a chance with my entree and I enjoyed that as well. Very nice for date night or dinner with friends

We walked in at 5:30pm on a Friday and promptly got seated by friendly staff. Our waitress was very attentive and pleasant. The ambiance was a little loud but we were seated towards the bar area and I imagine the dining area would be quieter. The food...oh the food is very good. This place has the best lasagna I have had on The Hill. The toasted rav are worth getting once, but they aren't anything to rave over. The Volpi Sausage pasta is just ok. I tried the last bit of it when my wife was finished and it was nothing I could t make better at home, which lead to the 4 stars. If I went back again, I would be trying a pizza, as I saw many get served that looked fantastic!

We had not been to Anthonino's since 2020, I'm so happy we gave it another shot because this experience was lovely. I waited until the last minute to make a reservation and surprisingly got in at a reasonable time on a Friday night. We were sat right away in a booth near the bar, everything was notably very clean. It seemed updated since we'd last been in, I loved all the local memorabilia on the walls. Our waiter, Andres, was absolutely fabulous; super friendly, knowledgeable and efficient with drink and food delivery to the table. We had a well rounded meal with help from his recommendations - wine, salad, complementary bread, 2 entrees and dessert to-go. We will absolutely be back again sooner than our last period of time. Thank you mostly to Andres for a great experience.

Anthonino's is always my go-to for the Hill. The food is delicious and prices are very reasonable compared to some of the others in the area. I've never had a bad dish here and they are very accommodating with my food allergies. Definitely recommend reservations as it can be hard to even get a spot at the bar. Don't miss out on this gem!!

I have been dying to go here and finally got the chance and Im so glad I did. It is such a cute and welcoming spot. Every staff member encountered was very friendly and our waitress was amazing. She answered all of our questions and made us aware of the specials. She was attentive to us and ensures that our first experience was a good one. We started with artichoke bottoms and toasted ravioli. For me, not really a toasted ravioli fan, they were okay. Better than most but not something I could eat all the time. My mother loved them. The artichoke bottoms were huge and very filling. Absolutely delicious and I loved them. My mother who is not an artichoke lover thought they were okay. We had the Sicilian pizza and a meatball. I loved the pizza, I felt it was one of the best pizzas I have eaten. My mom would have preferred thinner crust and felt it was too spicy. The meatball my mother loves, I am not a fan. Then we ended with a Tiramisu that was beyond delicious! We both loved that. Over all I really had a great experience and I think my mother did too, we just have different tastes. I am excited to go back to taste their delicious looking pasta.

Anthonino's is one of the few local places to get good Pizza on Monday's, but it is good any day of the week! This time we went around 4 in the afternoon. In the evenings there is often a 2 hour wait. Parking is on tbe street and can sometimes be difficult to find a spot. My husband had the House Salad & I had the Italian salad and we liked both of them. I had the Prosciutto Pizza & my husband had the Garlic Chicken pizza. We've tried many of their Specialty pizzas, and these are our favorites.

First stop in St. Louis! Located on The Hill an Italian neighborhood. Started with the fried raviolis with marinara sauce featured on Diners, Drive Ins and Dives. Perfect to share (we loved the sauce!) Had the lasagna and the pasta carbonara everything is homemade. Filling portions and great food!

We met some friends here before a Cardinals game. Had never been before. We had mussels for the appetizer. They were good. The entrees were better. The pesto Alfredo was fantastic. The primavera was also great. We were seated promptly to our reservation time. The server and staff were friendly and service oriented. It wasn't super busy but things moved quickly and food was great. I'd love to go back and try the pizza. Restaurant is clean and eating area was fairly quiet given the large size.

Anthonino's is a great place to. Great food and superior service. Best raviolis in 314 that are not overcooked and the filling is sufficient to enjoy. Kale Caesar was really unique with a generous anchovies portion. Beef pasta special was outstanding with highly tender beef, mushrooms and tomatoes. Highly recommended. Chicken Parmigiana was outstanding as was the chicken parmigiana sandwich. The sandwich even was big enough for an extra meal. Highly recommend ANTHONINOS on the hill.

Just awesome! Anthonino's checks all the boxes- great pizza ( had the prosciutto, yum) travs da best, attentive service, great vibe/interior, all at a fair price. Can't wait to go back!

Thought we were just getting pizza because Google noted that they had gf pizza but, oh my, once we got there and saw the menu! The entrees were incredible and well priced. Food and service was excellent. Do NOT order apps or salad. The meals are huge and filling. Enjoyed a second dinner from our leftovers the next night. Make reservations if possible. We didn't. The wait for two on a Monday evening was about 30 minutes. Perfect length of time for a drink.

Came in for lunch with the parents. Loved the allergy menu as I am Gf. The service was exceptional and the atmosphere was clean and welcoming. We loved the food we had and will be back to try more menu items

Did they invent toasted ravioli here? No idea but they were awesome. Dinner with coworkers and we had a fabulous time. Yes, we got two orders of the toasted raviolis to start. An order is six and yes, I ate my three with the fabulous marinara sauce. Perfection. I went with the cioppino for main course and it was only okay. Not much flavor in the broth and I thought it was a rather small portion. The garlic bread on the side was crunchy hard. Did not dip well at all. The meat lover's pizza is the thing to have. It looked and smelled amazing. A huge portion, almost enough for two to share. Nice crunchy crust, lots of toppings and great flavor. My mistake, I'll have this next time!

Great service and ambience. The toasted ravioli was delicious. I really liked the Beef tortellini too. One person in our party got the salmon. He said it was great. One person was underwhelmed by it but would return and try a different item.

I decided now was the time to finally give this place a try. I called ahead of time to see if there was availability at the bar. The person who answered said it's currently full but encouraged me to come as most people were only at the bar waiting on their tables and there should be space upon my arrival. I took my chance and arrived at 6:54. After 7:05, two spots opened up and I slid right in. Sitting at the end of the bar, I was able to get glimpses of the kitchen, see the main corridor of the restaurant and observe all the reservations they had for the evening. I was surprised at how big this place was because it gives anything but from the outside. There were two people working the bar and I must commend them for their hustle and their ability to multitask. Not only did they have to care for the patrons at the bar, but they also had to run food, make drinks for the other people in the restaurant, and take care of the people who haven't been seated yet that are also wanting drinks while waiting for their table. These people were on it and didn't miss a beat! Kudos to them both! After looking at the menu, I decided on the French martini and the chicken pesto without the pancetta and goat cheese. The French martini was ok; the vanilla base overpowered the rest of the ingredients, although I did taste the faintest hint of pineapple. It was pretty good but I could do without it next time. Next, my food came and holy pesto was there a lot. As you can see by the pictures, both of them were literally drowning in pesto! Not necessarily a bad thing but not what I was expecting either. The one made incorrectly had absolutely no chicken! I quickly alerted one of the bartenders and within seconds, I had another one with all chicken. What timing! The first few bites of the chicken were just as I had hoped. While the pasta was good, I didn't taste a whole lot with the pesto sauce. Something was missing but I couldn't quite put my finger on it. On another note, the oil for the bread is divine and I enjoyed it! Overall, pretty good first time experience. Next time, I may opt for coming at a time less busy and may even sit in a booth. While bar seating is nice, it's a bit uncomfortable to have patrons behind you trying to order drinks at the bar while you're trying to eat or enjoy your meal.

Anthonino's is a unique Greek/Italian spot located in The Hill neighborhood outside St. Louis. They have a variety of menu options, and it was so hard to narrow it down to just a few choices for dinner! We started with a few appetizers, all of which were good - though the calamari stands out in my mind as the favorite. It was perfectly fried and tender. Next, I opted for the chicken pesto pasta as my entree. The chicken was nicely cooked and flavorful, and the pesto and goat cheese were a great combination in the pasta. The pasta itself was a little dry, but not so much that it ruined the dish. Service was friendly and prompt despite being busy with several large parties. Definitely a neat spot to check out if you're in the area!

I brought friends from out of town here for lunch. The restaurant is very spacious and open. Our wait staff was great and accomodating. She answered all my friends questions regarding food from St. Louis, I was very surprised they did not have the popular "Gooey Butter Cake", I had to bring it in from the grocery store. Everyone had different dishes, lasagne, toasted ravioli, pepperoni and sausage pizza, margherita pizza and also a chicken parmesan sandwich. Everyone enjoyed their dishes and could not say enough of good compliments to all the staff at the restaurant. They have the best tomato sauce on the pizza, makes it the best. The toasted ravioli was both tasty and crunchy and the sauce made it extra delicious. We will definitely remember this place for the most delicious and authentic italian dishes. Thank you for being such gracious hosts to our friends!!

I visited Anthonino's with some colleagues and was unsure what to expect as this was first visit. I had the lasagna and it was delicious! The drinks were okay, I had an Italian margarita and did not order another. It was very busy so service was slow due to that. Kind server but slow. The ambiance was very nice and I would visit again as it challenging to find decent lasagna. I also tried my colleagues greek pizza and it was decent.

I remembered seeing Guy do an episode of DDD on "the Hill" and while I didn't remember the name of the place, I remembered the corner location and was lucky enough to find it. Andrew, our waiter, couldn't have been more accommodating. We started with an appetizer of fried ravioli. Very meaty and served with marinara sauce. Very tasty. My wife and I shared a garlic pizza and had enough leftover to have another meal. There are many different pizzas to choose from. I found parking on the street with no problem. Good food. Clean restrooms and clean restaurant. What more can you ask for?

This was our 1st time in. We had hoped to sit in the bar area because of its historic value, cool vibe and more fitting for two people having an early dinner. However, even though we were one of the very few initially seated in the large dining space it didn't take long for the space to fill up. Morgan took good care of us. Since we still had to get back on the road to KC we settled on sharing an appetizer and entree. We got the Toasted Ravioli (a must when in St Louis) and shared Lasagna & Italian bread. All was good and wished we could have also tried the Beef Braciole for something new. I guess we just have to come back. Maybe next time be able to sit outside on a beautiful day.

Ambiance is incredible and the staff are so nice and accommodating The food was the star of the place I felt like i was back in Italy

My favorite Hill restaurant. Wonderful takes on classic Italian cuisine, and great sandwiches and pizza too! Comfortable dining, perfect for families and groups. Classic decor and service! Our go-to place to treat visitors to St Louis style Italian food - as well as great toasted Ravs!!

-Went to this Italian cuisine restaurant with my husband; the food was pretty good, they serve complimentary bread and dip and we also ordered the T-ravs and the chef special mozzarella sticks which by the way were to die for. I will say the pizza wasn't as good as I thought it would be but I did order something unusual, the tzatziki sauce was really good and fresh and the pizza crust was perfect ‍-The service was great, we got the food really quick considering the wait time was an hour, our server stayed on top of our drinks and made sure we got through dinner accordingly. -Although the overall atmosphere was clean and designed well we were placed right behind a family with a baby that wouldn't stop crying throughout our whole date..

We stopped to try Anthonino's for dinner tonight, April 18th. We had a great waitress named Stephany who was so helpful, as I have Celiac disease, meaning I can't eat wheat. I ordered shrimp pasta, gluten free. It was delicious! Wheat free rotini noodles,white sauce, shrimp, peas, and artichokes. We will definitely be back!

Always delicious, excellent service. The Fire pizza has a unique taste intertwined in all that heat.

We went there for my wife's birthday on July 9 with my son and my two daughters. Amazing food. Amazing service. Amazing ambiance. Felt like back in Europe. Will go again !
