Anthonino's Taverna was one of the highlights of our trip to St. Louis! The food was so good that we ate there twice during our visit. Every dish was delicious, the service was warm and attentive, and the atmosphere was welcoming and relaxed. If you're visiting St. Louis, skip the crowded tourist spots and make a reservation here instead. This place is a true gem, and we'll definitely be back the next time we're in town! read more

If you're visiting St. Louis, you've probably heard about toasted ravioli, and Anthonino's Taverna is one of the places that kept coming up in recommendations. The restaurant was packed on a Monday evening, so I'd recommend making a reservation if you're dining with a group. I stopped by without one and only had a short wait. It was also fun seeing the photos and memorabilia from when Guy Fieri featured the restaurant on Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives. Service was friendly and quick. I started with the toasted ravioli, and while it was nicely fried, it didn't quite live up to the hype for me. It was basically deep-fried ravioli without much flavor on its own, though the marinara sauce helped. For my entrée, I ordered the Tutti Mare in garlic butter sauce, which I enjoyed much more. The seafood was cooked well, and the pasta was light and flavorful without feeling too heavy. Overall, I had a great meal and left completely full. Even though the toasted ravioli wasn't my favorite, I'd still recommend Anthonino's Taverna if you're looking for authentic Italian food in St. Louis! read more

We visited last night for the first time to celebrate my birthday. I was looking for a solid family restaurant and Anthonino's fit the bill. It's a big restaurant with lots of seating and an extensive menu. The service was friendly and attentive. For an appetizer we chose toasted ravioli and they were some of the best I have had. Flavorful filling, crispy exterior, and plenty of Parmesan cheese. We all really enjoyed these. The complimentary bread with olive oil was also nice while we waited. Not a ton of places still have this. I also liked that the olive oil was seasoned which gave it a nice kick. For entrees we ordered two lasagnas, salmon pasta and a frisco burger. All were good but the lasagna was the standout. A little spicy and very filling. The salmon could have used a little extra salt but I loved the grilled flavor. Since it was my birthday they gave me a complimentary mini cannoli. It was so cute and very tasty! If I wasn't so full I would have loved a full sized one. If we go back again I would try a pizza and Palmer's style chicken. Both looked really good! read more

Clearly, with over a thousand reviews, Anthonino's is beloved in St Louis and beyond! I had to check it out for myself. Reservations are a good idea due to its popularity. Parking is easy within a block or two. Outdoor, booth, and table seating is available. My husband had the gluten free pasta because it is also vegan, and no lie and true to form, it was delightful and light! The tomato sauce is Perfection: not too acidic, not too sweet, letting the grand yet humble tomato shine. I chose the puttanesca, one of my favorite traditional Italian pastas. I would order this again!! Had plenty for lunch the next day. Not to be left out: the toasted ravs and cannoli. I've had a few T-ravs since moving to StL, and these are excellent. The tomato sauce for dipping, once again, is a real treat. The cannolis? Precious, flaky, and dreamy. I ate one at our table and took the second bad boy home. FIRE. read more

Anthonino's Taverna - Greek Near Me - Saint Louis, Missouri

Came here with a friend on a Wednesday night. I was shocked at how busy it was. When we sat at our table, our waitress was super sweet and attentive. We got our bread and appetizer pretty quickly. We got the appetizer of the goat cheese and pita it was so delicious. I got the pasta con broccoli, and it was pretty good. The lasagna seemed like it took longer to cook and came out Piping hot where my pasta con broccoli wasn't necessarily hot. The lasagna came out a cute dish, which was cool. The tiramisu came out and it's not the best tiramisu I've ever had, but it was pretty good and came in a cute little glass. Solid experience on the hill. read more

One of our favorite restaurants on The Hill! Everyone is so friendly and accommodating. They absolutely love dogs on their patio and even partner with Ciao Chow pet store to provide your pups with "Toasted Ravioli" treats! Their food is fantastic! Everything from their Caprese Salad with Burrata to their pasta and pizza and down to their desserts. Their dining rooms are lively and the restaurant is filled with the best smells. As mentioned, big fan of their patio as it's dog friendly and is right on the side of the building, where you can watch the crowds walk by. It is covered and even has fan read more

While traveling through Missouri, my wife and I were looking for a place to have dinner. I searched Yelp and came across Anthonino's. I also remembered seeing it featured on the Food Network's Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives, so we figured it had to be worth a try. When we arrived, we were asked if we had a reservation. We didn't, but noticed a few open seats at the bar and asked if we could sit there instead. The two bartenders welcomed us right away and told us they would take good care of us throughout the evening. My wife ordered an iced tea, and I started with an Old Fashioned. For an appetizer, we ordered the Toasted Ravioli ($14), which is handmade in-house and filled with ground beef, ricotta, and pecorino romano cheese, served with marinara sauce. It's one of the dishes featured on Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives. For dinner, my wife ordered the Chicken Marsala ($23), and I went with the Bolognese ($17), made with veal, pork, red wine gravy, cresta di gallo pasta, stracciatella, and Calabrian chili oil. The toasted ravioli arrived looking great. I tried one without the sauce first. The fresh pasta didn't fry up quite the way I expected. It was more flaky than crispy, and I was hoping for a little more crunch. The filling was decent but could have used a bit more seasoning and flavor. The marinara sauce also had a bitterness to it that wasn't my favorite. When our entrées arrived, both dishes looked and smelled wonderful. Unfortunately, the flavors didn't quite live up to the presentation. My wife's Chicken Marsala had good flavor overall, but the side pasta was very gummy, and the sauce again had a bitter note that seemed to overpower the dish. My Bolognese was the biggest disappointment of the evening. When I think of Bolognese or a rich meat ragù, I usually expect a wider pasta such as pappardelle. The cresta di gallo pasta wasn't my favorite choice for the dish, and it also had a gummy texture. The sauce itself suffered from the same bitterness that we noticed throughout the meal. Looking back, I probably should have ordered the Carbonara once I realized the Bolognese wasn't being served with the type of pasta I was hoping for. Overall, the meal was okay, but it didn't quite meet the expectations we had after seeing the restaurant featured on television and reading the reviews. The service was excellent, and the bartenders did a fantastic job taking care of us. While this visit was a bit disappointing, there were plenty of other dishes on the menu that looked great, and I would be willing to give Anthonino's another try and order something different. read more

I was visiting St. Louis for the first time and I wanted to try foods that St. Louis was known for (according to online research) and toasted ravioli kept popping up. Being from the Bay Area in California, I had never heard of toasted ravioli so I added it to my itinerary. I found this place on Yelp and saw that Guy Fieri (another Bay Area native) had featured it on his show so I settled on Anthonino's. I walked over from the Botanical Garden on a Friday afternoon around 12pm so that I could get a better feel of the streets, locals, surrounding shops, and the Hill neighborhood. The area was very calm, clean, safe and had a sense of pride. I enjoyed the sights and sounds throughout the streets and by the time I arrived at the front door, I was super excited to eat. I was seated quickly at the bar and given a menu and water. The bar staff were friendly and pleasant to talk to and also took my order within a few minutes. The restaurant quickly filled up behind me and it was a lively environment. I really appreciated that the TVs had sports shows on (huge sports fan and was in town to visit Busch Stadium) so it gives you something to look at. I ordered the toasted ravioli and a tiramisu. As a solo traveler, I have to limit how much I can order so this was the perfect amount for me. The food was amazing and I wished that I could have tried more plates. The ravioli had great flavors and texture and the tiramisu was so creamy and fresh. I would definitely return if the opportunity presented itself. The customer service from all staff members was amazing! Thank you for this experience :) read more

THIS IS A MUST! Anthonino's has the homiest yet classy atmosphere with the best staff to match. The food was next level! We got the Baked Goat Cheese for an appetizer, and it was "like the bowl" good. I ordered their lasagna and my husband got Nona's Rague, both of which were heavenly. We finished dinner with their cannolis, which were creamy and crunchy goodness. read more

WOULD definitely recommend. Came by for a quick dinner after a long day of errands and shopping. We didn't have a reservation prior, which I would recommend especially for a Saturday evening (reservations made via SpotOn). We were able to get bar seating that night anyways and still had good experience. They had an extensive drink menu with so many different pastas, pizzas, appetizers, and sides to choose from. We started off with drinks, got Moscow Mule (9.4/10) & glass of Lambrusco (9.0/10), both of which were made very well, the bartenders seemed to have sufficient experience. For appetizers, we order the Toasted Ravioli and Kale Caesar Salad. The toasted ravioli was not too crunchy, which I actually liked. Most of the time, toasted raviolis are so flaming hot and crispy that its hard to taste the filling because it falls out, but this one wasn't that which I enjoyed (8.6/10). The Kale Caesar Salad was also good, just wished it came with a little more salad dressing, a problem which can be fixed (7.8/10). For our entrees, we order the Chicken Parmesan w/ side of Bolognese pasta and the Grilled Salmon Pasta w/ Alfredo Sauce. The chicken parmesan was cooked well, fresh, with amazing marinara, cheese, and parsley garnish (8.9/10). The Grilled Salmon Pasta comes in garlic butter sauce but we asked to replace with Alfredo sauce and it was the best decision we could have ever make. Their alfredo sauce is very authentic with ample cheese amount, tastes nothing like store bought alfredo which was great (9.4/10). Overall, the food had pretty great quaity. All in all, this restaurant was very good to us, service was on point. The food was definitely the best part of the experience. Pricing was not bad at all for the dishes we received, with adequate portioning. This is a great family-friendly restaurant if you have people from out of town and want a nice cozy Italian dinner. This might be my go-to for Italian if I have to choose again in the near future. read more

It was good. Not fantastic. Service was great. The restaurant is big so bring everyone. We had two apps. Calamari and the artichoke hearts. The hearts are huge! I used the marinara from the calamari because I liked it better. They were good and very filling. The calamari was good with a nice crunch and tender. We ordered the Italian Salad. The dressing was way too salty and it was dressed too heavily. The lettuce was not right for an Italian salad. I had scampi. Cooked very well but too much sauce and not enough acid. My son loved the lasagna. The pesto pasta was fine but not fantastic. The restaurant has I think two bars and has a lot of seating. It's cozy and a great place for celebrating. I think it was an off night. I'll definitely return read more

Service was horrible. Long wait time on everything. Took a good 10-15 mins for a waitress to show up at our table. We placed order right away then. My husband ordered a well done burger but he got a burnt burger. I ordered a Primavera but i got a tomato/marianna sauce veggie pasta. At this point, we just wanted to eat and leave. Waited another 10-15 mins to get our bill. This was not the end. Two days later, our credit card alerted us that we tipped 46% on that bill. Checking to see if it was right. Had to call a manager to get things straight. We got over charged cos someone misunderstood the tip amount. read more

I ended up ordering the lasagna. WOW. PIPING hot (actually burned myself on the dish it came in, lol), so flavorful and tasty. Pasta cooked to perfection. I wish it had more meat, but delicious nonetheless. My friend ordered pasta con broccoli and said her dish was also delish. My daughters had meatball pasta, a cheese pita pizza and shrimp Alfredo. All dishes were devoured. I will DEFINITELY BE BACK, I can't wait to try a pizza!!!! read more

I have been meaning to go here for awhile but finally went for lunch. I highly recommend you get a reservation ahead of time if you can- especially if it's over the lunch rush. There was about a 45 min plus wait if you didn't want to sit at the bar. The restaurant was much longer than what I thought. What's cool about Anthonino's is they do greek, italian and pizza! Its hard to decide. We did a mixture! We started with the saganaki appetizer, which was fantastic. It wasn't the traditional style where its put on fire at your table and served as a block of cheese. It was sliced into strips and grilled. Really flavorful and salty. It comes with pita bread and tzatziki dipping sauce. I wanted more! I also got a house salad, which was really good but I should have asked for the dressing on the side. They put too much on. For my main- I had Beef Tortellini with pink sauce. It really fresh and homemade tasting. Others got a salad with gyros and the fish stew- everyone loved their meals! Service was fast and our waiter was helpful. I would absolutely come back and try other things. Overall experience 4/5 read more

First, our server was great. Sweet, knowledgeable and celebratory (as it was a birthday)! The space itself was busy, we had a 7 PM reservation and got sat about 7:20 so not too long of a wait. It's a pretty casual vibe, don't have to be too dressed up but you for sure can! Now the food: They can fry some good stuff. Ravioli and Mozzarella sticks were great. Cheese bread was okay, could've been a little crunchier for me. I ordered the garlic , chicken, spinach pizza. Delicious! I will say it was a tad soggy in spots but the reheat was on point! Good flavor. My love has the Carbonara, first time having it and it was great. They make their own pasta and you can tell it's made with consistency. read more

Anthonino's Taverna is my go to Italian restaurant lately. I have learned that no matter what day of the week or what time, you should definitely get a reservation! When my mom is in town last time, we went for a dinner date and while waiting for our table, sat at the bar to enjoy a cocktail. The bartender was helpful and talked with my mom about some of the drinks that she might like to try. He ended up creating a fizzy cocktail for her that she really enjoyed as it was not too strong and not too sweet. I can't remember what it was, but it was refreshing which is all that matters. For dinner, we usually start with an appetizer and then choose a pasta dish with seafood (the clams and scallops are always a great pick). The salads are refreshing and just the right size and the bread they bring out is usually warm and tasty. The butter, on the other hand, is usually too cold to spread. Service has always been fantastic and the food has been tasty each and every time we visit. We don't always order dessert, but if we do, it's usually the cannoli to share. If you don't want to order the traditional Italian dishes, they also offer a few Greek dishes so this place is a win-win if you are looking for something with both options. They have a small sidewalk patio during the warmer patio months and can be a lot of fun. They also allow dogs outside with patio seating, so this is another dog friendly choice when I want to bring my little guy along for a date. read more

Came here for the first time with coworkers after work and I had heard really good things so I was excited. The place is pretty spacious! Small hiccup to start, I ordered a lemonade and it tasted really off, almost like there was something weird mixed in or maybe their machine was having an off day. I politely let the waitress know and she was super sweet about it, no issues switching me to something else. We got the toasted ravioli for the table and it was delicious! I had a salad and a pasta dish and the portion sizes were generous, I'd say maybe half our group finished their plates and the other half had leftovers to take home. The handmade pasta is very popular here. The place also had like a private party room with an event going on, so it's definitely a great spot for bigger gatherings too. I want to come back to try their pizza because I kept eyeing everyone else's tables. Highly recommend. read more

The wait was terrible on a Friday at 5:15. I thought we would beat the rush but we were waiting for an hour and fifteen minutes. The service and atmosphere was great and the chicken parmesean I got was delicious. The pasta on the side was a little underwhelming. I think they could do better with the freshness of their ingredients. It feels like they just make the sauce and pasta in a big batch and store it for a while. The chicken parmesean was a good size serving but I was disappointed in the amount of chicken served. It is pretty thin, would like it a little thicker or have another small one added to the plate. The ricotta cheese on top is a nice touch I will have to try for my own made ones. It would be hard for me to want to come back again as the wait for the meal was definitely not worth it. read more

First time at Anthonino's and it was great! Service was awesome and I highly recommend making a reservation. I went with a group of friends and we shared plates so we got to try everything. For an appetizer we ordered the toasted ravioli. It was crispy and delicious (might be the best I've had in St. Louis!) Loved the cheese in the maraina sauce. The gyro pizza was unique, really interesting with the feta and pizza cheese. I probably wouldn't order the pizza again though. Then we also tried all the deserts: gelato, cheesecake and cannoli. It was fabulous!! I think if I go again, I'd order the pasta as my main entree too. read more

An Italian joint in "The Hill" neighborhood of St Louis. It was busy for dinner service on a Wednesday night. We had a very reasonable wait before being seated. A patron would be comfortable and welcomed wearing anything from a suit to a sweatshirt - it is casual yet elegant. The menu was two pages - mostly Italian type fare but also had burgers and whatnot. Our service was extremely professional - friendly - and prompt. We never waited for anything once we were seated. We had Italian dishes and they were amazing. I would definitely recommend this place and would return to sample more of their menu items. If I had to offer a "negative" - it was kind of loud - but as previously stated it was busy. read more

Phenomenal! It's hard to describe just how good the food at Anthonino's is.....but I will try. To start, we went for lunch on a Monday without a reservation in early July. We were told it would take 20 minutes, but we were seated within 5 minutes. The ambiance was great. Our server was great and offered lots of menu feedback and suggestions. We decided on the Toasted Ravioli to start and it was great! They also brought out fresh baked bread....and I could have eaten that all day long. The main courses were excellent! Meatball pasta, Shrimp pasta and the Caesar salad with chicken were are great and high recommended. You cannot go wrong with anything on this menu!
