Noto Italian Restaurant

My husband reserved for my birthday with a month of anticipation. It was a real Italian type of pizza. It was not the best pizza you ever have. But it was good. 👍🏽 the service was excellent: our server was kind, attentive, but not intrusive. Drinks were good as well. The pannacotta super tasty! Great place to go! But does it worth to have to wait a month to ? Not sure.

This place is incredible, and I understand why making a reservation is such a hassle. When we arrived at our designated time, we were promptly seated and greeted by our server, Erica. She was incredibly friendly and helpful, suggesting dishes that we might enjoy the most during our visit. For our first course, we had risotto balls accompanied by a refreshing salad. Both dishes were bursting with fresh flavors and textures. For our second course, we indulged in a delightful brick oven pizza topped with pasta. After savoring both courses, we never felt bloated, as all the ingredients were imported from Italy and tasted absolutely divine. It was as if we were on an Italian vacation, dining at a restaurant. To top off our meal, we enjoyed cannolis and gelato, accompanied by a refreshing Americano coffee. These desserts were incredibly refreshing and satisfying. What truly set this place apart was the ambiance, the thoughtful gesture of providing separate silverware for each course, and Erica’s exceptional ability to engage us in meaningful conversations. This place is absolutely worth the wait. You won’t find food like this anywhere else, unless you visit Italy. I highly recommend it; as an Italian myself, it reminded me of my Nonna’s cooking. Arrivederci e a presto!

I can’t speak highly enough of this amazing restaurant experience. Not only was the staff generously accommodating for my birthday dinner, but even the ambiance, food, and service were all exceptional! Everything from the drinks, main courses, and the desserts were delicious. Noto is the perfect place for an intimate, classy dinner with authentic Italian flavor.

After months of trying to snag a reservation, I finally made it to Noto in St. Peters — and it was absolutely worth the wait. Noto is one of fewer than 1,000 pizzerias in the world certified by the Associazione Verace Pizza Napoletana, which means everything here is done to the highest standard of authentic Neapolitan pizza. They use imported Italian flour, San Marzano tomatoes, fresh house-made mozzarella, and bake their pizzas in a 900° wood-fired oven from Italy. The crust is soft, chewy, and perfectly blistered — exactly how it should be. I ordered the sausage pizza, which was rich, savory, and had just the right amount of spice. For an appetizer, I had the roasted carrots topped with shredded cheese and nuts — they were flavorful, beautifully roasted, and definitely a standout. I also enjoyed a couple of their craft cocktails, which were fresh, balanced, and delicious. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, with the smell of fresh dough in the air, cozy lighting, and a lively energy that makes you feel like you’ve slipped away to Naples for the evening. Service was friendly and knowledgeable, and the pacing of the meal was perfect. If you’re a pizza lover, this place belongs on your must-try list. Book well in advance, because once you experience it, you’ll understand why it’s so hard to get in. 📍 Follow me for more local food finds, hidden gems, and travel-worthy dining experiences.

We started with the Arancini as an appetizer — delicious! The Tonarelli crab pasta was the highlight, absolutely great. The pork shank was good, though not as memorable, and the burrata pizza was very tasty. We’ll definitely be back. It’s not too hard to reserve a table if you’re flexible with the time. The only minor downside is the parking — we parked on the side of the restaurant, and the angle of the parking lines makes it tricky to get out when it’s full, but we managed! Also, I liked the cat-themed wall decor in the restroom😂

The only complaint I have about this restaurant is that it’s very difficult to make a reservation, lol. However, the restaurant won my heart! The menu is perfect, and the pizzas are spectacular. I was lucky enough to try the special of the day, which was a Swordfish, and it was fantastic. The starter, Arancini, was one of the best I’ve ever had (as a fan of genuine Italian food). The staff is very kind and helpful. We’ll be back as soon as possible!

I didn’t know much about this place, was passing with kids Saturday morning so decided to make reservation for four of us. Online reservation worked out perfectly with early dining at 4:30. Except, I realize once we were checking in that my reservation was 20+ days out. That’s on me. But myself, wife and kids appreciated restaurant flexibility offering us 4 seats at the bar. Service 5+ This very comfy, date type of restaurant. Large parking lot around the building. Food and drinks. I went with moktail and it was nicely crafted and tasted like everything I like. My wife appreciate coffee martini. Food: every dish was made so special. You must try carrot starter, little gem salad, Neapolitan pizzas and my favorite - wild boar pasta. Bartender and entire crew were very accommodative. Next time - with proper reservation and without kids ;)

Service was amazing and food was delicious. Our server Megan was fantastic we loved her! Will be back! This is our second time. I now understand why they are always booked a month out. They are doing everything right.

After months of trying, I finally landed a reservation at Noto in St. Peters -- and yes, it's absolutely worth the wait. Noto is one of fewer than 1,000 pizzerias in the world certified by the Associazione Verace Pizza Napoletana, which means they're doing authentic Neapolitan pizza exactly as it should be done. We're talking imported Italian flour, San Marzano tomatoes, fresh house-made mozzarella, and a 900° wood-fired oven brought in from Italy. The crust? Soft, chewy, and perfectly blistered with that signature leopard spotting. I ordered the sausage pizza -- rich, savory, and just a touch spicy -- and started with the roasted carrots topped with shredded cheese and nuts. Those carrots alone could convert any veggie skeptic. I also tried a couple of their craft cocktails, and they were fresh, balanced, and dangerously easy to sip. The vibe is warm and lively, with the smell of dough in the air and that gorgeous tiled oven right in view. Service was welcoming and knowledgeable without being rushed, and the pacing of the meal was spot-on. If you love pizza, this is bucket list-worthy. Book early -- once you taste it, you'll understand why reservations are so hard to get.

My first dining experience at Noto was less than average. I really wanted to like this place. I would like to say that the current seasonal menu is what made me review it three stars. I strongly feel when they have a more hearty menu. My review would be a lot better. The one thing that is kind of upsetting is that you have to wait so long to actually find a decent reservation. I actually forgot that I made the reservation because I made it four weeks ago. When we arrived, we were able to sit at the bar and wait for our table which was about 15 minutes. It was FREEZING at the bar. Actually so cold to where if I was sitting at the dining table and it was that cold, I would probably leave. The place is super cute on the inside somewhere where I would visit quite frequently if it was a better menu. The bread was brought out just a few minutes before the food however, the bread was served very cold and with bland olive oil . It was very soft bread, but like it was refrigerated. I had the Manzo pasta. It was almost like a beef stroganoff, but worse. Something about the gravy tasted like cloves. Which is not what you want in a hearty pasta. We also got the sausage pizza. That was good!! I would go back for a pizza on this current seasonal menu, but nothing else. I will continue to look at the menu to see when it changes to go back for something more appetizing and I hope that I'm able to give this a better review .

Was very excited to get a Friday night reservation here! Reservations are a must! They may be able to accommodate walk ins or some bar service but make a reservation! Cutely designed like a pizza place in Italy, their simple menu is appreciated. Had the Aranchini. Served with a sauce with a kick it was a little bland but the idea is to mix it with the sauce to balance flavors. Still delightful. Pizzas were cooked as a Neapolitan pizza should! Slight char and flavor is good. They don't skimp on the toppings! Drinks. Quite an eclectic menu! Flavors that You wouldn't think go together. Snap pea infused vodka? Such a great combo! Plenty of wine by the glass or bottle for the choosing. Desserts as well but get the amaro flight! Great gem in St. Charles! Love the lemon decor. Great spot for any occasion!

I cannot say enough about how amazing our experience at Noto was! Amazing food, service, and ambiance. Highly recommend a Negroni and getting dessert!

Been looking to try Noto for a long time and finally got a reservation as they're booked well in advance. Noto is what I call a traditional Italian restaurant where portions are small, freshest ingredients and great service. Located in St. Peter's, MO, Noto is the restaurant where an intimate dining experience compliments great food. Again, reservations are highly recommended. During our visit some customers were informed bar service was available, but walk in seating may not be available unless arriving at opening. Noto will contact you the day before to confirm your reservation. After our review of the menu we decided to get appetizers, salads and a main course. We did order a speciality drink and both were great pours and refreshing. Noto is know for its pizza and provides a diverse menu of pizzas and can accommodate any pallet. Pasta and entrees are limited but pizza is where it's at. I do recommend the Noto house salad, incredible ingredients and dressing will almost make you order another one! Service was excellent and allowed us privacy to enjoy our experience. Prices were reasonable but the experience makes up for it. Noto is a great restaurant and will be back.

Came here on a weekend for a double date night. Our server got so excited to tell us about how much work the restaurant has done to achieve the VPN recognition, that we knew we had to get pizza. We got 2 pizzas for 4 people and 2 appetizers. Appetizers we tried were the carrots & the Arancini, the carrots were good, but I was inspired to try making something similar at home. The Arancini, very good, cheesy and delightful. For pizza we got the Fungo & Mortadella. They ask you if you want your pizza sliced or not sliced, I can save you from asking, if you'd like. There are reasons why they don't slice a pizza, but it comes down to, in Italy you eat pizza with a fork and a knife, so if you order a pizza unsliced, it is assumed you are digging in as such. We did get the Fungo sliced, since we were splitting it amongst all of us. The Mortadella did not come sliced, this is why, there is a lump (?) of Burrata in the middle, meant to spread out among the pie. This was delicious, I do love Burrata, what wasn't my favorite thing ever, the cold Burrata made the warm pizza cold. Since we are in S. city, I don't know if we will be in the "neighborhood" but if we are, I would totally go back.

I really wanted to love this place. I've seen it all over social media and was drawn in by the vibe--it's a beautifully designed space with a great concept and a focus on fresh ingredients, which I appreciate. That said, the food just didn't quite land for me. It probably didn't help that I had Napoli Bros pizza last week, so that was fresh in my mind for comparison. We ordered the Salsiccia pizza, and while I was excited to try it, the flavor was underwhelming and the dough was a bit too chewy for my liking. We also tried the tuna crudo appetizer special. It was light and minimalistic, but unfortunately, some pieces of the tuna tasted a little too fishy. We shared the lamb pasta next. While my boyfriend and I usually differ on our preferences for salt, we both found this dish to be overly salty. I do love that they make their pasta in-house--that's a huge plus--but maybe we just picked the wrong one this time. The focaccia had good flavor, but like the pizza, it was a bit chewy. I feel like it would've been better served warm. One dish I did really enjoy was the Noto salad--it was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully balanced. I do wish there was an option to add a protein to the salad, though. For someone like me who loves salads and tries to limit heavy carbs, there weren't many well-rounded meal options available. Service-wise, we had a good experience. Our waitress was friendly and attentive throughout the meal. One small thing that felt a bit odd: between every dish, they brought us new silverware and napkins, even though we already had clean extras on the table. I also think sometimes when a place is constantly booked out or all over social media, the hype builds up to a level that's hard to meet--and in this case, it just didn't quite live up to the buzz. That said, I may give it another shot in the future--now I know to check their ever-changing seasonal menus before I go.

We had such a great experience. Our server was London and she was so knowledgeable and helpful. She gave great recommendations and knew her stuff! The restaurant itself is so cute and intimate. We tried multiple drinks, an appetizer, pizza, pasta, and dessert. The pasta was pretty fishy but tasty. The tomatoes on the pizza were so flavorful, I wish there were more. The appetizer was so great! I'd definitely get again. The dessert was wonderful! We loved our experience!

Amaaaaazing! The service was spot on, the cocktails were fantastic, and all the food I tried (and there was a LOT!) was absolutely delicious! The ambiance was nice, though a bit loud. It's not a cheap place, but worth the $.

All of a sudden, you're driving along and there is Noto! No trouble finding it as well as all the other diners in this justly popular restaurant. The pizza choices are unique and delicious. The crust is perfect! Service is polite, quick. Feels like a European bistro in atmosphere. Great wine selections and cocktails.

Hands down, this is the best pizza you'll find in St Charles County. Plan ahead and make a reservation or get there when they open and grab a seat at the bar, you won't be disappointed. Tonight I opted for a carry out pie that's absolutely delicious.

Intimate, romantic spot with classic cocktails and modern Italian charm. I wouldn't go there without a reservation though because it's unlikely you will get in. It was packed even at 8 PM on a Wednesday night. Sometimes you can roll the dice and get there early enough and find a spot to sit at the bar. Bartender/barista "Ironman" Dylan will take good care of you. Service was top-notch! I love the crystal glassware. It really lends a beautiful and elegant touch to the atmosphere. There is a decent cocktail menu and they will make you pretty much anything you want. There is a nice wine list that you can order by the glass or by the bottle. The menu is seasonal. We began with the Patata appetizer which featured crispy potatoes with a cream sauce and a flavorful bite of Giardiniera. It was the perfect size for two to share. I enjoyed the Delicata squash Neapolitan pizza. I really liked the sweetness from the sorghum. It is a large serving and I was only able to eat half. They have a dessert menu with the typical Italian offerings of cannoli, Panna cotta, etc. I love this place and I will definitely be back.

Some of the best Italian food in the area. I love Italian, NY, and Chicago pizza. I am not at all a fan of St Louis style pizza. Noto's pizza is wonderful authentic Neapolitan pizza. Their pasta dishes are also wonderful. Servers are friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable of the details of their menu and specials. A classy destination perfect for date night.

The burrata on top was creamy and fresh, pairing well with the slightly charred crust. A simple yet elegant take on pizza.

Good service. Clean, and decent customers. Pizza was just alright...mine was wet. Pasta and salad options lacking. Tomato salad was two half frozen tomatoes and salt. I'd rate it a 7.1. Wife gave it a 3.4.

Excellent. Been here a couple of times so I'm sure of my 5 stars. Intimate spot. Reservations are a must as this place is consistently packed. Arancini is a must get. All of their pizzas are outstanding. Pasta great. Desserts great. Corkage is a reasonable $35. Good Service. Will be back!

I decided to try Noto because I saw it made the list of top pizza places in the Midwest and was rated pretty high. Definitely be sure to make a reservation in advance if you want to guarantee a spot because they book out for the night pretty quickly. We first went downstairs to the cocktail bar and had a couple appetizers and drinks while we waited to be seated. The downstairs cocktail bar has a different menu of appetizers and drinks from the upstairs offerings so would recommend checking that out. The eggplant and meatball apps we ordered were delicious and our Spritz drinks were refreshing and perfect for summer time. They also let you bring your cocktails back upstairs when you get seated. Once we got seated upstairs we ordered the Nduja Rigatoni Cremosa which was absolutely delicious. We also got the Nduja Pizza and the Scarpa Pizza. Each dish tasted so fresh and you can tell that they use good ingredients. The pizza dough was perfectly cooked and so so soft. We ate every single bite. To finish up the meal, we ordered Tiramisu and it was presented well in a glass bowl. Overall, the meal was lovely and I look forward to coming back to try more of their pizzas and drinks.

Second time here. Food and service have been exceptional both times. Ambiance had been great. Can also go to Bormio pre/post dinner for drinks. I highly recommend trying Noto, just make a reservation when you first can.

Another delicious dinner at Noto tonight. The Gnudi may have been small but an overall "heavy" dish with a delicious sauce. The pork shank was a large portion and every bite was delectable. It did get a bit loud and was hard to hear due to some larger parties near us but service was good and food was excellent.

Service 5/5 Pizza 7/5 Pasta 3.5/5 Ambience 5/5 Noto is a small Napoleon restaurant at St Peters. Reserving a table is a bit challenging, so advanced arrangement is highly recommended. Service is so attentive. Parking is plentiful. What we enjoy at Noto? 1) the calamari fritti is phenomenal. It was seasoned so well with fried onions on top. It's my favorite calamari for a very long time. 2) Nduja has distinctly wonderful flavors and perfect crust. I felt like transported back to Italy. Bravo!! 3) The lamb ragu pasta is lacking some seasonings, though we enjoyed the hand rolled fresh pasta.

We had a lovely dinner at NOTO last night. One thing I like about NOTO is their menu changes seasonally which keeps it fresh and exciting. They have amazing Neapolitan pizza which was certified by AVPN in Italy. Service was spectacular. Charming atmosphere. I started off with NOTO house salads. Chefs kiss. Mortadella is a no-brainer for me. My partner got the Salsiccia. They were absolutely delicious. The whole experience definitely brought us back to Italy. We also liked the patata a lot. I did make a reservation one month in advance but it's worth the wait. Highly recommended!

We sat at the bar and really enjoyed watching the Bar Manager, Dylan, making fantastic Cocktails! I ordered the Bacca E Fumo (Bubble) and it had a cool smoke bubble on it when it was served and tasted great! The Noto House Salad was great too! I had the Delicata pizza, and added Prosciutto my husband had the Salsiccia. We both loved our pizzas! We are looking forward to going back soon.

We had an anniversary dinner at Noto. The service is great, we sat right away with a reservation. The space is quaint and decorated very cute. The tables are a little close together, not a great place for a large group. We loved the risotto balls (ARANCINI), Noto salad and BUFULINA pizza. All the food is made in house and is so fresh and delicious. The CAROTA appetizer and MANZO pasta were good, but would probably not order them again. They serve homemade focaccia with olive oil. Excited to try other items on our next visit!

I think I might have ordered the wrong things.. The food we got was so unremarkable. Their pastas were the highlight -- would definitely get their gemelli again. Mussels were overwhelmingly fishy. Pizza was so soggy to the point you couldn't pick it up. Flavors were just alright. It picked up again with dessert, but still expected a lot more from a restaurant like this. Favorite dishes: Gemelli alla gricia, cannoli

We love Noto pizza! I've always had amazing experiences here as far as service goes. We take the chance and sit at the bar and Dillon is always attentive and his drinks are top notch. The quaint atmosphere gives off that Italian nook restaurant vibe perfectly. The music, the drinks, the food, the service is worth the wait for a seat!

St. peters now has upscale dining! Noto is a very charming spot, that will leave you wanting to rush back. The inside of the restaurant is gorgeous, especially after dark with the lights down low. The service was great, and the food was amazing. I particularly enjoyed the fiori. I suppose I may have to travel to St Charles County more often now. Bravo.

Wonderful little Italian place and service and cocktails were terrific. I had a pizza and ate the whole thing. Manhattans were awesome with the addition of some fancy amaro to kick them up a notch. I will be back every time I'm in the St. Louis area.

Our family dinner at Noto was wonderful. We were celebrating a birthday and our server made it very special. We ordered pizza and pasta, and everything was delicious. We had a cannoli for dessert and it was the perfect end to the meal. The atmosphere and decor is wonderful and the dining room is small but comfortable. We will definitely return!

I remember J Noto when they were a little bakery, and my mother would bring my sister and me in for cannolis and pignoli cookies before school at ASH. I moved away long ago, but always heard about the incredible restaurant that J Noto had opened. After many years of visiting home and being unable to get reservations, I was finally able to get a table for two for my fiancé and I. The food was great, the pizza incredible, great organic wine recommendation, and the dessert was even better (an incredible cannoli and a bowl of hazelnut gelato). My biggest issue was that from the moment we sat down, the waiter rushed us. We like to order dishes as we go -- not allowed, you need to put everything in at once. We were halfway through our arancini and both entrees were out. Midway through our entrees, we were asked if we wanted boxes, while we had food in our mouths and we were handed a dessert menu. Once we were somewhat finished with our entrees and ordered dessert the waiter brought out the check quickly. I was going to bring back cannolis and a few other things for my parents, but we weren't even given the option. If we're going to spend $150-$200 for two at dinner don't try to turn our table as quick as possible. This is just poor etiquette. They had mentioned eating things the "authentic way", well hell, I can tell you they wouldn't rush you out in a restaurant in Napoli. I can cook as good a meal as anyone -- going out is for the experience not just the food. Ultimately, I'm disappointed for that reason alone.

I could go on and on about my experience at Noto! Wow what a delicious and feel good experience. I live in South City so it's a bit of a trek for me, but I had made it a goal of mine to head out here before the end of the year. They also recently just landed a spot on Top Places to Drink in St. Louis, so that really made me want to check it out. We had a concert at Ameristar, so I thought this was the perfect opportunity. I made a reservation about a month out (definitely recommend) since they fill up fast! We arrived at 630 and were promptly seated. The first thing I noticed were the awesome Christmas decorations, which were adorned on their year round greenery around the restaurant. It was so feel good and festive. I ordered the Hugo spritz to drink and it was made with super fresh mint. They have a great wine list and a great list of cocktails, as well as after dinner drinks. We ordered the burrata pizza for the table as an appetizer and it was fantastic. Everything was so fresh and delicious. High quality ingredients are definitely used. I also ordered the salad (I'm a huge salad gal) and I think this is probably one of the best I've had. The best part- it was $6 and the portion is huge! For dinner I had bucatini arrabbiata. Wowowow incredible!! Delicious pasta with cheese, olive oil, calabrese, and tomato sauce. The best part- a large piece of burrata on top! I loved every bite. For dessert I ordered an espresso martini, and my friends ordered the tiramisu and cannolis. The tiramisu was absolutely insane. The presentation was amazing with a bit of crumble salty crunch on the outside. I did not try the cannoli, but my friend loved it. The espresso martini was exactly what I was wanting. A little caffeine with the cocktail vibe. Already wondering when my next trip will be. Amazing!

Easily one of the best spots I've been to for Italian. The service is amazing from the moment you walk in. The food is some of the most delicious I've ever had. And it's a very cozy and intimate vibe which I love. 10/10!

This was our second time visiting. We got a variety of starters and pasta (no pizza). I absolutely love having an option like this out in Saint Charles. There aren't many other places like it. I recommend starting at Bacaro and getting a pre dinner drink beforehand. Both of them are decorated beautifully and have a warm welcoming atmosphere. Service is professional and attentive. I would say the food wasn't the best I've ever had, hence the 4 star, but would come back and try the pizza next time which is their specialty.

The service was great, fantastic! We really had our hopes set high for this authentic italian restaurant and we were disappointed. The calamari had a good flavor but was a little dry. The salad could have had a few more veggies incorporated. The artichokes were very hard and we had to take them out while chewing. Our entrees were ok. My husband had a pasta dish, which he thought would have more meat and the sauce was bland and the pasta was undercooked, more than al dente. My pizza margherita was good, there could have been more flavor to it. The negroni was delicious. There seem to be more campari than gin/vermouth. The ambiance was a little too dark and seem to be cramped. My husband is always cold said the temperature could have been cooler. We may come back and try some different dishes since we live in the neighborhood.

This is one of my favorite restaurants. Me and my boyfriend celebrate our birthdays and anniversaries here almost every year. Inside is so pretty and they have the huge pizza oven up front so you can watch them make the pizzas! I definitely recommend making a reservation as the inside is smaller so you don't have to wait. Service is always so quick and kind. The food is exceptional! You can't go wrong with anything on the menu. All the ingredients are super fresh. My favorite is the arancini balls and patatas appetizers!

The parking lot is a little small. The decor was nice. They offered both drink and entree specials. We got the Apple crostini and Arancini as starters. The crostini was ok but expected it to be more Apple forward. My friend thought it tasted like makeup. The arancini was delicious as was the sauce. I had the rigatoni for my entree and it was pretty good. I waned a little more flavor but it was still pretty good. My husband got the wild boar bolognese and he enjoyed it. Our friends had the pork shank, which was a very good portion size and tasty, and the tonarelli which she enjoyed. Overall it was a good experience but nothing so great that I am dying to go back.

This place is a favorite date night and birthday spot for my husband and I. The most recent time we came we got a murrell mushroom appetizer and some pizza. I got the burrata pizza and it was delicious, highly recommend! For dessert we got a tiramisu to go since we were so full and it was one of the best I've ever had. Our waiter was amazing, he was so friendly and helpful with the menu. He came around the perfect amount, not too often or too little.

Noto pizza is the absolute best pizza in St. Peters. It may be hard to get a reservation but it's so worth it. I love the light and airy crust and the fresh ingredients. This place has nice lighting to create the perfect ambiance for a nice date. Service is always great, which is always a good thing.

Noto is always a good spot for Italian when in St Charles. The pizza oven is right inside and I've never had a bad meal here. The space is smaller but the ambiance is cozy and pretty. The beet gnocchi was super good and the pizza was super flavorful. The pizza is really thin and they suggest to eat it with fork and knife

Noto is a great authentic Italian spot. The decor has pretty Italian touches and the service is fantastic. We had the bucatini and italiano pizza. Enjoyed both - will be back to try more of their menu.

My friend came in from out of town and made a reservation here. I'd describe her as a foodie, and we're both from Chicago, so we're picky about pizza. There is no other restaurant in the area whose pizza compares to this! Normally I take lots of pictures, but I was too excited to see my friend after years (and to eat the amazing food obviously). We got a few aperitivos, which were delicious - especially the Quattro Formaggi Arancini. Honestly I was just looking forward to our brick oven 'za. While we ordered a couple different options, I had my heart set on the classic Margherita and was not disappointed. With every bite, I found myself wishing it would last longer. I was full but I wanted more! It's not really close to where I live, but I would definitely make the trip out there again. In terms of customer service and atmosphere, it is an upscale vibe and the staff are friendly. We felt like we could ask our server questions without judgment and they were very knowledgeable about the menu. The timing of everything was great. It was one of those small, boutique restaurants where everyone is somewhat close to each other, but it doesn't feel cramped - kind of like Italy. Highly recommend!

This was an incredible experience. The pizza was easily some of the best I have ever had. We saw the pizza being made in a brick oven in the center of the kitchen and all the dough rolled out there as well. The bartender Dylan was delightful as well, very good conversation. The drink itself was not my cup of tea. It was far too flowery tasting but I would say that is personal preference. The inside is small and cozy feeling and you have to book reservations ahead of time. Overall great experience I will definitely be returning again.

So disappointed with my experience - food was ok - pasta (crab), not great, pasta was overcooked and the flavor wasn't worth the price tag. Server/drinks/dessert good. Extremely long wait for dinner and once our guest was served his coffee (not finished) we were told they needed our table for 5. Our reservation was 6:45 and we left around 9:ish. I have never been "kicked out" of a restaurant - the delay was caused by the kitchen, not us. I have been to this restaurant several times and Saturday night was my last visit.

This little place is so cute and the service was absolutely immaculate! The food was a little hit or miss for me personally I would just focus on the pizza because each one was delicious. Out of the appetizers definitely the arancini, focaccia, and the salad everything else was good just not something I would have to get again. Overall definitely think everyone needs to check this place out!

My favorite Italian restaurant. They have so many options and they change their menu each season. Good drinks, pizza, and the NOTO salad and espresso martini are two of my favorites.

Stopped in last night for date night and so happy we did! Love having Noto close by and it's been on the list for some time, but after reading Ian Froeb's too 25 this week I knew it was time! The restaurant itself is relatively small- so definitely get reservations. Lots of parking. After a little bit of a wait, we were seated for our reservation right next to the pizza oven. I love that you can see the pizzas being made. They have an awesome bar too. Started with a small Noto salad and it was delicious. I always question why I cannot seem to figure out how to make these at home. I digress, for entrees we got a Burrata pizza and the Italiano pizza (added pepperoni) as well as rigatoni bolognese. The cheese was plentiful and I'm thrilled it was! Portions were perfect- we eat a lot so I see the pizzas as being more personal size, but like I said, we eat a lot. Everything was cooked to perfection and entrees came out timely. Did not have enough room for dessert so will certainly be back to sample those as well as their fantastic lineup of cocktails. 10/10!

Service takes forever. You have to order everything at once, so if you fill up on appetizers you still have food coming no matter what. We had a reservation at 5:30 couples with reservations for 5:45 were sat before us. Took us almost 2 hours for 1 pizza and 1 app. Love the atmosphere

I currently can't move because the food at Noto was so good! I couldn't stop myself from eating everything. I rarely make a visit to St. Charles since there are so many good restaurants closer to me in the CWE, downtown and Clayton area. We have been wanting to try Noto since we heard it open. It's small inside and they only accept reservations to dine in. I heard you have to make reservations pretty far in advance but we got lucky and made it Wednesday for Friday night. I think someone may have cancelled right before I checked because when I had checked Monday there was no availability. The inside of Noto is decorated nice with greenery on the ceiling. You can see the wood burning oven manufactured in Naples and you can watch them cook the pizza inside of it which is neat. It takes 90 seconds to cook the pizza!! There was four of us in our reservation so we were able to try a variety of items. We started with the patata and bruschetta. Both really good! I personally preferred the patata but I'm also I sucker for anything potato. The patata had a salmoriglio underneath (salmorgilio kind of reminded me of a chimichurri sauce). The bruschetta was mostly ricotta cheese and beets which complimented each other nice. For my main course I shared the gnocchi and burrata pizza, both 10/10. My mother in law and her sister got the rigatoni genovese and Italiano pizza. I think out of all 4 main entrees the rigatoni genovese was my favorite. It was loaded with braised short ribs which complimented the Parmesan cheese and red wine nicely. The only thing I would critique which is so minimal is the lighting. The ceilings are very tall and the light was yellow. All four of us were bothered by the color and found it hard to really appreciate the beauty of the food. Saint Peter's is lucky to have Noto!

Hands down the BEST Italian place in the area. Worth the drive wherever you are. Pizza is great. Been to Noto around 10 times now. Never a bad meal. If you can't get a table, no shame at sitting at the bar. Good news if you can't get in, they're expanding.

I really like Noto and wish I could give 5 stars but a few things fell flat. Our server was exceptional - very helpful and knowledgeable. Food and drink Cocktail - seasonal special, delicious Appetizers - both the arancini and ribs were less than stellar. Arancini had very little rice. The ribs were tasty but very dry/overcooked. The fennel salad they were served with was delicious. Entrees: We split a house salad (fresh and delicious) and pizza. My SO and I enjoyed both. Dessert: Cannoli freshly filled to order. My favorite part of the meal. Loved the hint of pistachio
