I've had Amighetti's before as delivery or catered. This is the first time dining in. Order at the counter and they bring it to your table. I ordered the Chicken Parmesan Sandwich half and my husband had the Amighetti's Special sandwich whole. Both were ordered as a combo meal with a bag of chips and a soda. Hubby was happy they had Sprite Zero as a fountain drink as that is rare. We both loved our sandwiches! The chicken parm was so delicious with a large breaded chicken piece. 1/2 sandwich was very filling. We also got a couple of cinnamon raisin bagels for breakfast the next day. Amighetti's makes their own bagels. Denser consistency with lots of flavor.
I've tried Amighettis Turkey Special twice and I enjoy the sandwich! It's not your typical mayo, tomato, pickle; It's more of a hoagie style sandwich with the oil, shaved onion and pepperoncini. That's what I enjoy! It's a fresh sandwich with just enough toppings and freshly baked bread. I haven't visited the location yet (because I door dashed both times) but it's the closest thing I've had to a hoagie here and I'm a fan.
I've lived near the Hill all my life, but I've never been to Amighttis. We decided to give it a try tonight. I used to shop at the old Hanneke hardware store and wanted to see what it looked like now as a restaurant. It was nicely decorated, but a little generic. I had had a really good sandwich earlier in the day, so I decided to try the Tortellini (meat). It was OK, but for $14 I was expecting a larger portion. It didn't have a lot of flavor for a restaurant on the Hill. My wife got their signature sandwich and it was a little embarrassing. It was on chewy bread with very little meat and lettuce. They were out of a lot of things- cream for Cannolis, meatballs, turkey, several sodas. This was the day before the Fourth of July, so maybe that explains that though. I doubt that we'll be back. There are too many other great places to eat on the Hill.
I went here to get their bagels. This place has different variety of bagels. I ended up getting their blueberry, garlic, cinnamon raisin and jalapeños and cheddar. The dills cream cheese is interesting. There were not as many staff here so it did take sometimes to get the bagels. Parking was street parking.
Was in town for an afternoon. On the recommendation of, and accompanied by, a world traveler with a proclivity for, I'll be nice and call it "safe" food (not one to trip the culinary life fantastic and push boundaries or get adventurous), made our way to this well run, spacious establishment. The lady behind the counter was grandmotherly in her insistence to try more than merely a sandwich (she stopped short of physically escorting me to the cheesecake area near the back, but I did, despite not wanting cheesecake for lunch, as an alms for being an out-of-towner, venture round the back). I admired her salesmanship, if not her persistence. Ordering was easy, they have a special sandwich, I'm getting the special sandwich. Despite the word "special" being thrown around, and not to blast an institution (if that's what Amighetti's is) but the sandwich was right up the guy who's rec we ventured in upon's alley. It was ok, mediocre, safe. The bread almost annoyingly flaky. The meat was pretty well covered up by the bread. Eating it was, well, a chore that left a mess of flaky crumbs as though the sandwich had exploded and for very little tastebud reward. This doesn't happen often, but a quarter of it went uneaten and not taken for later. The taste was kind of muted. Nothing popped. The St. Louis standard I'm measuring it by, and not to give the competition a nod, was far superior. And sure, that joint (Gramophone) offers an Italian amongst many others, but Amighetti's is more for the institution than the cuisine.
Amighettis catered an event I went to Friday night and I was a little worried based off of some of these Yelp reviews, but I thought the sandwich was fresh and delicious! The event had 4 types of sandwiches to choose from that were cut into thirds (meatball, turkey, salami, & veggie) along with a couple of pans of salad. The sandwich had two well seasoned meatballs with enough sauce & cheese to make it a bit messy but very flavorful. I thought the bread was fresh and yummy. Salad with dressing lacked a little pizzazz but I'm sure it would have been much better tossed in the dressing - totally understand why they didnt coat the salad in dressing since it was for a group. Would def be happy to eat here again.
Traveling bands always ask, where's a good place for toasted Ravs? People often say, everywhere. The correct answer is Amighettis. This casual dine in or take out place is my preferred choice for easy access, unassuming, affordable, good Italian lunch (and dinner). Plenty of street parking around the neighborhood and you don't have to fight with traffic as you would closer to center of the hill. I can't begin to list the menu (long), so you'll just have to go try them for yourselves.
We are trying to venture out and try restaurants that we haven't tried yet. I have always heard wonderful things about Amighettis so we decided why not give it a try at it's newer location. They are located in the old Hanneke Hardware building and did a great job on restoring it for a restaurant. When we walked the tables were all empty, which should've been a pretty good sign for us. As we had not been there, we weren't sure really what to eat. Reading through the menu I saw 'the sandwich that made us famous' so I thought, why not? I ordered the Amighettis Special. When they brought it to the table, I really didn't see anything too special about it. It had very little sauce on it actually very little of anything on it. When I got home later, I was looking at an article from feast magazine about it and that sandwich looked pretty good, which was supposed to be mine. Clearly mine was not made just like this one. I had no pickles and no pepperconcinis on mine as I did inspected every layer of mine to see what was on it. It definitely could have used more of everything on it for their special famous sandwich. Especially the famous sauce. They were out of a lot of things no meatballs, no cannoli filling and a few other food items. Went over to the soda fountain which I really appreciated they had both Coke and Pepsi product, but as we started filling our soda cups, a lot of them ran clear and they were out of the sodas. Took a couple of tries to find one that actually worked. Our first experience here did not go quite as we had hoped. For a restaurant that is on The Hill you certainly expect it to be exceptional or at least pretty good.
My review is for the bagels. I ordered an egg & cheese sandwich and 2 other bagels. The sandwich was decent but short on flavor. There was some toast on the bagel so I guess that helped it. The other 2 bagels were dismal and I couldn't eat them. No crust, no chew, too puffy, etc. They were bread not bagels. I could have possibly eaten them if they were scooped out and toasted but 1. I don't think anyone here knows what that is and 2. You shouldn't have to do that to a fresh bagel. A fresh bagel has a crisp exterior and a dense chewy interior. This isn't it! I ate at C and B Boiled Bagels when it was open and these do not taste like those or any other bagel.
This was our first visit to this location so we were excited to try it. While ordering, we encountered a rude employee, Pam. Our request for a side of pasta was rudely denied without explanation or kindness. We were taken back at the lack of courtesy. Despite her behavior, the food was good and the environment was clean. We'll be back but hope to have a better experience.
Great lunch spot! Tons of sandwiches and salad options. They even have all of Hanks Cheesecakes flavors- what a treat. Tried the large Amighettis special salad with grilled chicken and it was delicious. The dressing is phenomenal. My husband tried the meatball sub and loved it. Both super fresh and came out quick. We got Oreo cheesecake to top it off and it did not disappoint. 10/10. We will be back!
I've been to this place and always liked it. It has come back to The Hill (right close, practically The Hill), and now in the old hardware store. I could give the place 5 stars...and maybe I will the next time, as I try more things...but I try and (not) be too loose with my 5-star ratings. The thing about this place: They use a different sub sauce....but dang is it great! A mayo base...but then...has dill and mustard...who knows what else...is it killer! Bread is quite good...fresh tasting meats. This place is a winner....get there...
Great place for lunch or dinner. I have many wonderful memories of eating an Amighetti's sandwich with friends and families for important life events. This was our first time trying this newly opened location. We are very glad to welcome them back to the city! The sandwich and pasta selection options are as we recall. My husband likes the Special Sandwich. I opted for pasta. Both were good. The bread seems not as crunchy or chewy as we recall, but still very good. I enjoyed a salad with my lunch that had a generous amount of cheese and some olives and artichoke hearts which were tasty. Big change is that Hanks Cheesecake is available for dessert in addition to cookies and cannolis. Street parking. Large bathrooms but there is a raised threshold which would be difficult to negotiate with a wheeled device. There is a ramp to the side door.

What a local gem! We ordered the Beef N Gravy, half Chicken Parm, and meatball appetizer. Everything was incredible! The meatballs were flavorful and both sandwiches were perfectly toasted. There was a group ahead on us but the line moved quickly and we got our food quickly. The service was great! The staff were wonderful and the general ambiance was really nice. read more

The bread!!!! I had the Turkey Special half and when it came out I have to admit I was slightly disappointed in how it looked. Not a lot of meat, iceberg lettuce and a simple tomato. But, looks can be deceiving! The bread - so soft and flavorful really made this sandwich. The meat and toppings were nicely balanced and it was a lovely, fresh sandwich. The toasted ravioli that my friend had looked amazing and the Sicilian salad looked amazing. I would try both of those next time! read more

Love the special sandwich. If you've read some of my previous sandwich shop reviews, you'll know that I love a good proportion of ingredients on a sandwich and Amighettis gets it right! A great combination of fresh meats, veggies, pickles and peppers, and their sauce (what is this sauce?! It's addictive). My husband had the meatball sandwich and he loved it. I had a few bites of the meatball sandwich and it surprised me because I had the meatballs at the Yelp elite event one week earlier and thought it was a tad salty and too firm. Neither was the case today. The bread on the meatball sandwich was warm and fluffy - such a welcoming bite - the sandwich was loaded with sauce and cheese - ooo the cheese made the sandwich scrumptious. The new location is spacious with lots of seating. It was pretty busy during lunch on a Tuesday but service is so friendly and efficient, and we got our food relatively quickly. Looking forward to another visit soon. read more

The worst deli on the hill. Just buy the sauce and add it to a sandwich from Southwest or Eovaldis - that's the best move IMO. They stopped making their own bread, and the new stuff is Fazio's standard. This means a softer, chewier, smushier bread. Not bad, but one less reason to come here. Totally inconsistent from one item to the next. Hot items are usually over cooked. Seems like they use less meat on the special than they use to too. Meatballs are more often golf balls than anything. Picked up twice, ordered was wrong both times. They serve bread co style bagels too, dunno why. Union is a real bagel, but these do in a pinch. Bagel sandwiches are one overcooked egg with cheese toasted to the point of no identifiable taste with a heaping hot portion of salty deli meat. No garlic butter on the bread, just meat sweat and steam. I grew up on Amighetti's, but this is not the quality that I - my brother, or my father remember. I think this is likely a combo of poor menu planning for the kitchen, lack of training, and corner cutting to maintain profit. It's the combo that kills this place for me, one thing wrong is ok but 2 or 3 every time is too much. read more
So happy to see Amighetti's back open on The Hill! The world is right again! Had the Ameghetti special which is better than ever. Bread is fantastic and it's loaded with everything you'd expect on a classic Italian sandwich. Loved it and it was a great walk down memory lane. The location is great...plenty of room to sit. And the service was way more than we expected...sandwiches brought to our table and leftovers were wrapped by the staff for us to take with. And there is Hank's cheesecake there to boot. We didn't save room but will next time. Welcome back Amighetti's! You were missed and so happy you are back. read more

Anthony and his staff do a great job of providing attentive, friendly service while ensuring accurate orders and quality ingredients. From the fountain drinks to the wide selection of Italian eats, there is something to please everyone. Plenty of veggie options, cold or hot sandwiches, pastas, salads, soups and desserts! I recommend the cannoli and you can never go wrong with a Hank's cheesecake. Specifics: -Fountain drinks featuring both Coke and Pepsi products (standout of Lime Bubbly and soda water) -Salmon meatballs were something I never imagined, but they were good -I think I dreamed about the Hot Italian sandwich I had -Welcoming space with lots of windows -Friendly staff Check this place out for a delicious and filling Italian meal in a historic locale. read more

It was our first trip to St.Louis and we decided to drive up to "The Hill" for an Italian lunch. We happened upon Amighettis and it did not disappoint! Toasted ravioli was yummy and the accompanying sauce presumably the same sauce on my chicken parm sandwich was very good (flavor, texture and ratio). My husband had their Special which he enjoyed thoroughly. Portion sizes were generous and the bread lived up to the hype. What we enjoyed equally to the food was the welcoming and friendly staff. A+ for customer service. The decor was tasteful and charming, complementing the upcycled neighborhood building and space well. We were too stuffed for cheesecake, but they all looked amazing. read more
Best sandwich in St. Louis ‼. They moved, I didn't realize that until today but the new store is much nicer and bigger. The ladies working were so friendly, maybe they were flirting, I don't know. They showed me around and showed off the display case of cheesecakes. I grabbed the "The Original" and took it on home. Love this place. read more

Decided to try something new today. The Special sandwich was quite tasty. I got it with the sauce on the side. The service was good. Polite order taker and wasn't too busy. The restaurant could be a little noisy on a busy day but wasn't too bad. I'd definitely return. read more

I ordered the Amighetti's Special Sandwich and it was tasty. The sandwich is thick with six slices each of ham, salami, roast beef's, Swiss cheese, and tomatoes. All the ingredients tasted fresh. The French bread wasn't as fluffy and freshly made. Instead it was a little dense. Some people believe my mouth is big enough to fit half a sandwich but that's not true. I ordered the whole sandwich (9 inch loaf) and I was full. We dined in and sat at the rail along the window and it was fun people watching. I'm going to try a pasta dish next time. You park on the street in front or back. There's an empty lot diagonally across the street. read more
