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

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. read more

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. read more

Amighettis - Turkey Special - Whole - Italian Near Me - Saint Louis, Missouri

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

Amighettis - Amighetti's Special - Whole - Italian Near Me - Saint Louis, Missouri

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. read more

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. read more

Amighettis - Tomato soup. Toasted Ravs - Italian Near Me - Saint Louis, Missouri

Great Italian sub for a quick take out dinner. Excellent ingredient quality and fast service.

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. read more

I usually always order pick up with I get food from Amighettis. It's counter service so it's fairly easy to navigate. For food, my favorite is the Taste of the Hill sandwich (no olives, please) and you can't go wrong. I love that you can get half or full sandwiches, so you can try whatever you want! They have both Coke & Pepsi products which is a win in my book. There is always plenty of seating and street parking. Noise level is low, employees are kind and service is quick! Highly recommend this as your next sandwhich stop. read more

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. read more

This was our first visit to this location so we were excited to try it. While ordering, we encountered a rude employee, Pam.

We'll be back but hope to have a better experience. read more

Amighettis - Nice place and good food this woman is however a little bitter and rude. - Italian Near Me - Saint Louis, Missouri

This location is convenient for us, so we order carry out occasionally and we're consistently underwhelmed by the food. Last night was more of the same. Spaghetti - okay, not great. Sauce is pretty bland. Garlic bread is a little short on garlic. Salads are pretty good, tomato basil soup was pretty tasty. Overall, it's just okay. The service is good and the location is so convenient that we're likely to give them another chance to disappoint us, so shame on us. I haven't tried the bagels yet. They look promising! read more

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! read more

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... read more

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. 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

Amighettis - My 4 month old side eyeing that meatball sandwich - Italian Near Me - Saint Louis, Missouri

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

Of course , it's fun , but I was hoping to get a sandwich on the great, legendary bread. No dice. They wont do it. They only sell that bread separate and pre-order. Why? It doesn't make any sense. Without the great bread, its just another sandwich, like Subway. If they really want to be unique, they should offer the sandwiches on the great sesame bread. 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

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

This is a review specifically for the bagels so excitedly advertised by this establishment. When this New Yorker saw this, I of course had to stop by and get these supposed authentic bagels for breakfast one morning. First of all, if you're telling me you're running an authentic bagel shop, I'm going to walk in like a New Yorker and order my bagels like I'm in a... get this... bagel shop. That's what you're setting me up to be able to do. I say hi and place my order, to which the woman at the counter looks at me like I just spoke another language. After the typical St. Louis move of slowly explaining the long list of items they're out of (....you didn't make any everything bagels? And you're supposedly a bagel shop?) and trying to fit my order into her narrow understanding of the menu, I ordered two bagels, flavors don't matter because both trash, one with butter and one with scallion cream cheese. Twelve minutes later she shuffles back with my order. Second strike. In NYC I would have been through the line and out the door with my bagel and a perfect simple but powerful iced coffee, to the station and waiting on my train in 12 minutes. What was happening to these bagels? Did time stop? Did someone have to call for help because they've never sold a bagel before (believable)? In my bag were two of the most inauthentic, wrong texture, wrong toppings, wrong size, wrong flavor, wrong crust, wrong everything "bagels". It's like someone read a brief description and vague recipe process with zero authentic frame of reference, and when it looked like the picture they said "good enough for St. Louis!" And where were my fillings?? Oh, in tiny little cups perfectly portioned. What the fuck? Perfectly paired with a plastic knife. What? 12 minutes and you don't even understand the fillings go IN the bagel? The butter they gave me for the bagel was GARLIC MARGARINE. Think about this on a crappy poppyseed bagel. The scallion cream cheese was pathetic and again, a literal staple I'd guess 80% of NYC bagels get ordered with, and this was unbelievably bad. Guys, just give up if you don't know what you're doing. You clearly don't. This cream cheese mixture was disgusting, the wrong texture and flavor completely. Both went into the garbage and I've spent the entire time since fuming. I even prefaced my order with "don't waste my time if this isn't authentic" to which she gave a spiel about some bagel shop in Illinois and blah blah which to me was more of a red flag than anything. Avoid for both the bad product and the blatant false advertising followed up with zero response when called out via message and social media posts - even with an offer to connect with someone back home who could set them up right. 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

Showed up at 2:15 to grab a sandwich. I stood at the register for 10-15 minutes before anyone came out to help me. The guy walking around in flip flops delivering food to customers could not be bothered to help me but had time to chat up other guests. I ordered a large special sandwich which sat in the window another 3 or 4 minutes before flip flop guy could be bothered to put it in a bag and hand it to me. This is a far cry from the service you received at the original. However the sandwich was good and true to the Original Special sold on The Hill for decades. read more
