We go to Bartolino's Twin Oaks often! The atmosphere is fantastic and the menu offers a wide variety of entrees, appetizers and salads. Their pizza might be the best in town! They have a huge bar offering some nice wines, cocktails, and an extensive selection of bourbons. While this can be an added perk to your dining experience, bourbon drinkers beware! Ask about pricing; we asked for a particular common brand. The server failed to explain they didn't have the typical bottle of the brand we requested in their bar, and only offered a special reserve version. The special version of the brand is mentioned on the menu, but we did not have the menu and just inquired about the brand. Therefore, there was no mention of the bourbon being a special blend or reserve and being priced much higher than what's typical for the brand. He just brought out the drink. We were shocked when the bill was presented learning just then it was a $102 shot. We were shocked considering we'd ordered other bourbon drinks there in the past and never paid more than about $20 for one drink. The menu lists wine prices; bourbons, however, despite their apparent wide range in pricing, are not noted. This experience left us feeling disappointed. read more

Tried out St. Louis style Pizza for the first time! Thin, cracker-like crust, very similar to Chicago Tavern style but featuring "Provel" cheese; a processed blend of Swiss, Cheddar and Provolone! The rich creaminess and unique flavor of the Provel shines since the crust is so thin, which is the beauty of this style of pie so to me, this was excellent. The fried raviolis had a crispy and flavorful batter and the garlic butter cheese was dense but tasty. Service was very friendly and food came out at a reasonable pace. The place itself had a very clean and modern look but still felt casual. Food was very heavy but they do have lighter options; I just wanted to try some St Louis staples. read more

This was my first time eating at the Bartolino's Twin Oaks location and I was super impressed and it was even better than the Hill and South Lindbergh locations that are great too and I've ate at those several times over the years. I ordered the Tortellini Piselli that is pasta shells stuffed with beef and pork and finished in a delightful sauce of peas, mushroom, prosciutto, cream and Parmesan cheese. My friend had a plate of Rigatoni with Italian sausage that I tried a bite of and was deliciousness as well and the pasta had a very garlicky sauce as well that I want to go back for soon. I'll probably opt to dine at this Twin Oaks location from now on, it's more elegant but still warm and inviting than the other locations. Also I found the service much friendlier than the others as well. read more

We had a really nice time here for brunch. I have really enjoyed the experiences at their location off of Hampton, food is always good and this new spot was no exception. The space is nice and open, and it was pretty busy. We sat at a 4 top and had some good options for brunch, including a classic brunch menu and San Martino brunch. They have a drink menu as well, but I only ordered water a a cappuccino. Espresso was good! My meal was the caprese omelette, the burrata sold me! It came with toast and their breakfast potato. The omelette was really good, the fresh basil on top was good! The breakfast potato was good too, it was more of thicker shape than your typical hashbrown. Check it out! read more

We were back at Barolinos, which I have to say is one of my favorite restaurants. I had always wanted to sit at the bar because it is very nice. However, it wasn't so great this time. We ordered the Fried Calamari and it was undercooked and didn't have much flavor. We also ordered the Tortellini Peselli and it also didn't have much flavor either. We sat at the bar and the bartender was pretty unengaged with us and seemed like she was going through the motions. I was really surprised because everytime I had been here preivously was excellent. I guess everyone has an off night. I know that I will be back again. Thanks read more

First, the parking can be a nightmare. It's shared with so many businesses and depending on the time, you may park far. The resturant is very nice, inside and out. I came for lunch with a friend and we were seated right away. Since we came during lunch, we are pretty light. We both ordered a salad and my celebs had soup. Our server was a little slow to icky have a few tables and so it took a minute for her to come around but she was nice. We sat in the area that looks like a patio and it was very loud. Not because of the music but with everyone talking, it was hard to for me and my friend to hear each other during conversions. Outside of that, the food was cooked very well. The salads were really good and the chowder wasn't bad. Very nice place. I would return again. read more

Bartolino's Twin Oaks delivers exactly what you hope for from a classic Italian-American restaurant: consistency, comfort, and well-executed staples in a relaxed, polished setting. I started with a bourbon sidecar, which was nicely balanced and spirit-forward without being overly sweet--clearly made with care rather than rushed behind the bar. The Caesar salad was crisp and traditional, with plenty of freshly grated Parmesan and a creamy dressing that coated the romaine without drowning it. Simple, classic, and done right. The highlight was the tortellini pannini. Generous portions of fresh tortellini in a rich, creamy sauce with sausage, peas, and mushrooms. The pasta was cooked properly, the sauce clung well, and the dish felt indulgent without crossing into overly heavy territory--exactly the kind of comforting Italian fare Bartolino's excels at. Atmosphere was warm and comfortable, and service was attentive without being intrusive. This is a reliable spot for a relaxed dinner where you know what you're getting--and it's done well. Would absolutely return. read more

Went out for a nice dinner with my wife and our out-of-town visitors, wanted to find a nice restaurant that represented St. Louis well and this place DID NOT disappoint! All 4 of us got different meals, from lasagna to salmon fettuccine, risotto and toasted ravioli... Everything was incredible! Presentation, and vibe of the restaurant was very well done. Service was really good too! Waitress was very helpful in finding the right meal for each of us, and gave good insight. I don't think our drinks got below halfway ever. Overall a very good experience! And would recommend for anyone looking for a nice meal out! read more

The food is always fantastic and the service is great! The steak is done to perfection and they do a wonderful risotto.

This is more of a heads up: Saturday's they don't serve their lunch menu, only brunch. The staff there is so nice so this isn't a reflection on them but so strange when you go in for a reservation at lunchtime on Saturday or Sunday they don't offer their weekly lunch menu. read more

Giving Bartolinos a shot at lunch is a good idea. The place wasn't packed like it is at dinnertime and it still holds up to their quality and customer services. It was quiet until the lunch rush came in but that is normal for all. I had a casesr salad with fried calamari and cannelloni. The cannelloni was cheesy and creamy with a good amount of meat for each bite that made yoi crave for more. I will be returning to try their sandwiches. read more

We went in for a holiday lunch and we're excited to try this newer location. The atmosphere is nice and they have a nice bar area I understand has a happy hour from 3-6 M-F. We both had the same dish for lunch. It was the salad with the grilled tuna. Salad on a week day that took an hr to get. And the restaurant was not busy. Our server was good but obviously the kitchen is either understaffed or poorly organized. The salad was good but we could not figure out what was taking so long. I forgot to take a pic of it, we were so distracted. We also got the cannoli combo for dessert. It was good. read more

The atmosphere of this restaurant is beautiful, and there's much potential. I have come for brunch twice now, and both times have been disappointed. Unfortunately this morning, I ordered the biscuits and gravy (recommended by our waitress), and the sunny-side up egg was extremely unappetizing. I was afraid of getting sick so we did not eat the dish. We then overheard the table next to us telling their server that they also had a situation with their dish (the egg white omelet came out with egg whites so thin and runny that the guest described it as "snot"). My friend today ordered avocado toast and it had way too much lime on it - it tasted like guacamole, which is not appropriate for brunch dish. I'm hoping the kitchen can get brunch figured out because this area could really benefit from a solid brunch spot, but currently they have some work to do. read more

I ordered orange juice and the classic breakfast. The orange juice tastes like freshly squeezed, very delicious. The classic breakfast comes with two eggs, I ordered scrambled, hash browns, three strips of bacon, I asked for extra crispy, and two slices of toast. The eggs were cooked just right. Many parts on the bacon were burnt. I didn't want it that crispy. The hash brown looked like a small brick. The hash brown was crispy but needs seasoning. I asked for the multigrain bread for my toast and it came out perfect. I got excellent service sitting at the bar. I like the look and vibe of this restaurant. There's a large parking lot in front of the restaurant. read more

Bartolino's Twin Oaks - Classic Breakfast - Italian Near Me - Manchester, Missouri

We visited on a Saturday with a small group, reservations for 5:30. the experience, on the whole, was fine, but the service was lacking. Everyone agreed that we were rushed, they bussed the table as people were eating and we ended up that the last person eating was doing so alone with the table cleared. I appreciate the prompt service but this was a little annoying to everyone, you could hardly put your fork down without someone coming to ask if you were done. Very off-putting. One star deducted. The food was what you'd expect from a Saint Louis Italian restaurant. Been to one, been to them all. But good selection on the whole from what you'd expect, not a huge menu, but I'm sure everyone could find something there. Value for money? Meh, not really the best. The place is clean, good atmosphere. Would I go back? Probably not. There are a lot of Saint Louis Italian restaurants to try yet. read more

Great food, service and ambiance for date night. They didn't say the price of the specials and they were very pricey so heads up on that. Fish was great but not $60 a plate worth.. read more

Bartolino's Twin Oaks - Fish special - Italian Near Me - Manchester, Missouri

I was very excited to come here and experience the newest addition in Manchester/ Valley Park area. It is definitely a bit more upscale especially if you look at the decorations inside. However, I think my experience was off put from the beginning. I made a reservation online and the older lady at the check in counter was rather rude. My husband and I asked for a high chair for our 8 month old and she was very annoyed. It was cold outside and we were sit at the first booth right by the door. The high chair they brought out was dirty and looks unsafe. Along with the fact that it stick out and I was worry everyone would bump into the high chair.... so my husband and I took turn holding our baby so the other could eat. I do think that customer service should've been a lot better given they've been opening since October. The food was average/mid. We got couple appetizers and salads to start. The salad is overpriced and doesn't come with your entree. My salmon fettuccine was extremely salty ... I could only eat maybe a third of my plate. My husband's pasta combination was less salty but still more than average. The pork chop special had too much lemon on it, without side pasta it wouldn't be balanced at all. Needless to say, I was very disappointed with everything. P/s: we spent over $75+ a person read more

The new Twin Oaks location is the most convenient location for me out of all their locations. The decor is beautiful and the service was excellent. I was meeting an out of town friend and he had not had the toasted ravioli so I told him it is a must try since he was in St. Louis and he liked it. I got the chicken modiga for dinner and it was excellent. Have been to multiple locations and have been happy with the food and service. read more

The food is very good, However, I have learned that there was a mistake on a large parties bill. After paying the bill, it was brought to the parties attention, by management, about the shortfall mistake on their bill. Some in attendance paid extra to rectify Bartolino's mistake. Part of the mistake Bartolino was kind enough to write off. A few folks in the party ask the management if Bartolino's would make the waitress make up ANY part of the shortfall mistake the restaurant made. Management answered "absolutely not! "We would never do such a thing to our staff!" Now comes the part I want future patons to consider BEFORE frequenting this establishment. I have been also informed that at a later date some of the original party went back to Bartolino to eat and ask for the same waitress. The waitress was very kind, but was not as bubbly as before. when prodded repeatedly, she admitted she was docked the $400 dollars she was saving for her wedding to make up the shortfall on the bill Just wanted all the kind folks out there to know before you go there/ read more

From start to finish we had a great experience. Our waiter, Matthew, was very pleasant and efficient. My husband and I both had the rigatoni bolognese and it was out of this world delicious! The manager stopped by our table to check on us at one point. He was very friendly and quite funny! The atmosphere was lively and pleasant. We will definitely return to try some more offerings from the menu and maybe even have a dessert read more

The risotto is some of the best I've had. I have had several different flavors. The service is top notch. I was not a fan of the other Bartlinos locations. This one is a step above. Ambiance is also cool Update: I just called at 4pm on a Saturday for an order to be picked up at 5pm and they told me they could not do that because they are busy????!!! The told me to call back 30 minutes before we want to pick it up read more

Overall, my wife and I were very pleased with all aspects of this restaurant. We were seated right away and our waiters were very attentive. There were points throughout our dinner where we were waiting for a while for service, but it was due to the fact they were extremely busy. Pasta portions were enough to feed 2-3 people and the salad was the same as well. My wife got the tortellini, but said it lacked some flavor. My Blackened Salmon was cooked perfectly. It had the perfect amount of Cajun flavoring and it got 2 more meals out of this one. We were seated in a more private area of the restaurant which was pretty nice considering how busy it was. Next time, I recommend splitting a salad and pasta with someone as it will be more than enough food for you! read more

Fantastic food and experience. Great location and parking can be a challenge on the weekends but the food is worth it. The cocktail menu is extensive and looked great. The wine list was also great too and I thought reasonable for the ambiance. Blackened salmon fettuccine was excellent and enough to enjoy again as a leftover. Eggplant parmigiana was also great even though I just got a taste. Service was outstanding by our excellent server Emma who was knowledgeable, attentive and a pleasant presence. Highly recommend her for service. read more

The steak was juicy and flavorful. Dessert was also very yummy. We will be coming back! read more

We called in an order for dinners only to be told "Oh, we are doing reduced menu tonight". Did not say that on website. I ordered chicken something, it was dry. Had a pasta side that I had to use a fork to pry the lid off. And it really did not taste good. Had a cannaloni dinner that looked like it was microwaved. Had a fetticine dinner that looked ok. Only thing I would order again. Had told the girl when I ordered we wanted to orders of toasted bread. Did not get this but we were not charged either. I will avoid this place in the future. read more

Maybe we made a mistake going after they had only been open a month but This family has been in business for 50 years running restaurants so there should be minimal ramp. We had a reservation and were promptly seated. The dining room was busy and had a good vibe. We have watched the build out for a year. The surfaces are all hard and it was noisy and echoed. The menus are too big for the tables. Service was rather slow for the overall meal from seating to check out. Each course seemed to take too long to order and too long to present. The combo appetizer was good - shrimp and crab mushroom were plentiful- T rav mediocre as was cheese stick. House salad was average. Entrees were average in taste - Soul was over saturated in oil so bread crumbs were mush. Chicken modiga was cold - chicken breast was about a 5oz portion for dinner - skimpy for price. Wine selection was good but cocktails were overpriced. Ended with Tiramisu- again - average. Overall- we spend $300 + for dinner for 4 onn a Sunday night and for average food taste, portions on the small side, temperature off, all being served by an indifferent server - I cannot recommend. read more

I arrived without a reservation a few minutes after opening. I went to the bar since it was just me. I already knew what I wanted since I visited Bartolinos South for years. I ordered Veal Parmesan with a white sauce pasta, both were very yummy and exactly what I needed. I also only ate about half and had the rest boxed up for leftovers. My bar tender was Chailey (sounds like Hailey except with a Ch) and she couldn't have been more attentive and they were very busy. I will definitely be going again! read more

Beautiful Atmosphere, Excellent Service--but That's Where the Positives End The decor is stylish, modern, and inviting. Our server was outstanding--attentive, kind, and genuinely empathetic. Unfortunately, that's where the positives stop. To begin with, the dining room was uncomfortably cold. It's June, and we found ourselves eating with our coats on--not exactly the cozy dining experience we hoped for. The food, sadly, was a major letdown. The shrimp ripeini - which is clearly described on the menu as 'charbroiled shrimp stuffed with crab MEAT' was BREADED (no mention of that!) and arrived stuffed with IMITATION crab--something that felt deceptive, especially given the upscale pricing. Our server, trying her best, let us know she asked the manager to speak with us. He NEVER BOTHERED. That silence said everything: they knew, and they simply didn't care. While the dish- which I did not eat, was removed from our bill, the lack of accountability was incredibly disappointing. The rest of the meal didn't fare much better. The menu offered very few healthy options. EVERY single chicken and veal entrée was breaded, and most pasta dishes were drenched in heavy cream sauces--there were barely any red sauce options. The calamari appetizer was okay, but the bitter spinach it sat on was unpleasant. The bread was stale and dry. And my shrimp--again, filled with imitation crab--was swimming in greasy oil and covered in soggy breadcrumbs. The overpowering garlic and taste of processed white fish disguised as crab made me feel physically ill. All in all, the experience was deeply disappointing--especially for a night meant to celebrate our 30th anniversary. Lovely service and ambiance can't make up for misleading menu descriptions, mediocre food, and indifferent management. We won't be returning. There are way too many other better options just around the corner, like The Tavern! read more

The ambiance is very nice. The wait staff is pleasant and very attentive. Food was delicious. Parking is a little tight but reasonable.

We've made reservations to go out to a nice memorable dinner at Bardolino's in Twin Oaks The problems started when they seated us in the sports bar area. It was so loud my wife and I could not talk, we could not hear each other. The service was just OK, the waitress wasn't very attentive. The food I would give it a 6 out of 10, if you want to go to a sports bar, go to Buffalo wild wings, if you want to go out to a nice dinner, don't go to Bartolano's in twin Oaks. There are many other good restaurants in the area I would rather go to. We spoke to a waiter during dinner about our experience and he told us he would speak to his manager and get back to us. We never heard back from him. Al read more

First time for brunch on Sunday February 22nd 4 people. Started with 2 Bloody Marys and a couple mimosas and 1 cold brew cocktail. Had a special tiramisu overnight oatmeal that was fabulous to start with and a French toast with fresh berries as appetizers. Everyone ordered something different to taste for main breakfast entrees. The breakfast risotto, crabcake Benedict, Greek yogurt with fresh berries and organic granola, and the steak skillet. All were fantastic. Had a couple bottles of Flowers Pinot Noir and a few glass glasses of Chardonnay with our entrees and enjoyed a fabulous get together and look forward to the next visit!!! Service was excellent and accommodating. The decor and atmosphere very welcoming. read more
