    Beef Medallions

    Excellent Italian food in a cozy atmosphere. Friendly service and huge portions. Highly recommend the brisket ravioli and the fried cheese! Everyone left satisfied including our 13 month old grandson. Great experience!!

    Sweet Chili Glazed Salmon
    Jenelle B.

    Brisket toasted ravioli were perfect! Lightly breaded with generous portions of brisket. The homemade marinara is so tasty. We split an Italian chopped salad and it was plenty for the two of us. Spring mix was fresh, toppings of meat and olives were delicious. The rib eye and mashed potatoes were cooked perfectly to order and it was a good quality cut of meat. The grilled salmon with chili sauce was lovely. Honestly it was so good, it would have been amazing without the chili sauce! We finished with the port wine chocolate cake. Rich and delicious. Overall, the food quality to cost was very very good. High quality food for less than many other restaurants. Well done!

    Very friendly staff. Service was excellent. The patio was a nice area to relax & enjoy a long dinner with friends. The food was tasty. We loved the appetizers. Pastas were good & we had a favorite- the bucatini. The tomato sauce was delicious. We ordered for happy hour. Wine flight was $12. What an amazing deal. And the waitress brought the 2 of us flights with 8 different wines. Was a great way to try so many.

    Red Snapper with beurre blanc sauce, spinach with crispy corn, and crab polenta
    Chris R.

    We visited Collina Eatery a couple weeks ago after reading a positive post by a friend. Collina is a corner, neighborhood cafe on the hill surrounded by apartments and homes in a quiet family area. I believe the building was an old converted gas station. It's small and quaint with most of the seating on the sidewalk or patio. It was a beautiful evening, perfect for dining o' natural. Upon arrival we were greeted by smiles and cheery attitude. I had made a reservation for an inside table (not knowing how the weather would be) and they graciously changed us to a table outside. We ordered a couple glasses of wine which were delivered quickly and sipped while we perused the menu. They brought fresh Italian bread to our table to nibble on which we enjoyed. The menu was a nice mix and balance of beef, pasta, multiple fresh seafood entrees, pork tenderloin, and fried chicken. They even had a couple burgers and a wrap for this so inclined. We decided to start with their Italian Chopped salad. We asked how large it was and decided to share it. Good choice. The salad was quite large and more than enough for two. Possibly three people. The salad arrived in a beautiful presentation of spring mix greens, peppers, green olives, salami, mortadella, and parmesan dressed in a delicious vinaigrette. For entrees we went with the bacon wrapped beef medallions and I ordered the red snapper. Even while they tended a party of sixteen, the advised us up front and made sure to provide great service for all of their other tables. Service was top notch. The salad came out beautifully presented as described above. My only criticism was there was no salt and pepper on the table, and they didn't offer fresh ground pepper. They were able to provide salt/pepper but having fresh pepper shouldn't be unavailable to diners in a restaurant of this caliber. When our entrees arrived they were beautifully plated. Kudos! Presentation is a sign of what is to come. My date had the beef medallions with applewood smoked bacon and a cowboy butter and red wine reduction, along with asparagus and parmesan risotto. I received the pan seared red snapper with citrus beurre blanc sauce, accompanied by a crab polenta cake and spinach with toasted corn. The beef medallions were a perfect medium rare (as ordered) and the sauce a great paring. Rich and delicious. Tender. Melt in your mouth. The risotto cooked to a tee, light and not remotely gummy. The grilled asparagus tender and full of flavor. The red snapper was simply amazing. One of the best plates of food I have enjoyed in St. Louis. The snapper was a thick, generous fillet perfectly seared preserving the light, juicy, flaky fish. The beurre blanc light a wonderfully complimentary to the light fish. Another melt in your mouth dish. The sides almost out shined the snapper. The crab polenta had a lightly crispy crust with a center of soft, fluffy, perfectly seasoned corn souffle. Wow! Amazing. And finally, the spinach with toasted corn. The spinach was lightly sauteed and slightly crispy while the slightly crispy chickpeas rounded out the flavor. We were too full to order dessert thought it all sounded inviting and we would expect to be fabulous. Though we passed, they brought us a slice of carrot cake stuffed with caramel cheesecake to celebrate our anniversary. I'm typically not a carrot cake person, but feel converted. A light and balanced perfect close to our meal. Delicious! I'm a sixty-ish, foodie-ish with a wide pallet and dining history. Everything was wonderful. The food great and service to match, with only a couple minor service flaws. I highly recommend visiting this restaurant. It's a hidden gem in St. Louis. Unpretentious and a really good value. So many good dishes on the menu. We will be back repeatedly!

    Went to 2 other nearby places first but didn't want to wait 1 hour+ for a table. Stumbled upon this little gem and it was a pleasant surprise. It has a nice size patio and indoor dining space as well. Food was delicious and came out fast. A bit disappointed that there is no free bread. Pasta was light and spices were used well, great for a hot day. Full bar with lots of drink options. White chocolate tiramisu was to die for. Service was very prompt. Street parking only.

    Rigatoni
    Jennifer M.

    First time visiting Collina for my dear friend Benefit. First of all, thank you to this Family owned business for putting this fundraising event for her!!!! The place was packed.. sitting outside in the heat was brutal but tolerated due to what we were there to do!!! Food was very good... The Salad (dressing was a bit to vinegary) but good The Bruschetta was Amazing.... The Linguini Del Mar was very dry but I sent it back and it came out Perfect!! Crispy Shrimp Bowl was good and different. Rigatoni with Meat Sauce tasty But the Best was the Chicken Cor Don Bleu!!! Highly Recommend!!! The Specialty Cocktails were yummy!!! The staff worked their tails off!!! We took a few desserts home!!! The lemon Marscopon Toasted Ravioli was different and good! Cheesecake Yum!

    Chicken Cordon Bleu, Bucatini Pasta
    Emily M.

    Yum! My dad and I made reservations here before our show at The Fox. We started with the brisket ravioli appetizer, which was super yummy. The green goddess sauce paired perfectly with the tender ravioli. For our entrees, I opted for the chicken cordon bleu, which was delicious. It was served with a cheddar gnocchi which was clearly homemade. So light and fluffy, I would eat just that for my meal! My dad got the bucatini pasta which he said was delicious, as well. We were too stuffed for dessert, but I need to come back to try that stuffed carrot cake! Overall, this charming and cozy restaurant had wonderful service and exceeded our expectations.

    Port wine chocolate cake
    Robert B.

    Grabbed some dessert for carry out. The cakes were delicious and came out quickly. Service was fast and the ladies were great to help me make my choices. Layout of the restaurant is better for dine in, as there not a spot to wait for your order, if not dining in. Port wine chocolate cake was my favorite over the stuffer carrot cake, but both were tasty!

    Fettuccine de gambari
    Trevor M.

    First time visiting Collina around 7 on a Saturday night. There isnt a hostess stand so checking in is an awkward stroll through the dining area. This location used to be the old pit stop. It's noticeable because some of the staff still wear those shirts. The service was nice but things were noticeably slow for everyone. I don't mind waiting for the food to be done right but I could here some other tables getting antsy. We started with splitting the fall salad which was sweet and tangy, the pecans were my favorite part. I had the fettuccine de gambari. The shrimp were big and the pasta was incredible. The portion size is a little too small for $25. I think they could do better by reducing the number tables to get cook times down.

    Incredible food, great atmosphere, and amazing service. Huge shoutout to our server John, who was fantastic! Everything we ordered was delicious. Will definitely be back soon.

    Crab cake
    Kelsey H.

    Wow! What a hidden gem. Found this place thanks to Yelp and thought it would be a good place for people with varying preferences and it knocked it out of the park. First, the service was phenomenal (shout out to Julie!). Second, the food was great. We had a great experience and sent some family friends the next week and they loved it too. It's like the perfect neighborhood restaurant, good for date night, family dinner, take out... you name it, it hits. They have amazing specials throughout the week, so check those out when planning your visit.

    My husband and I came here back in December 2023 and our food was VERY subpar; burnt chicken sandwich, burnt bacon, and some other stuff (however, the service was great). I called and the owner offered us a gift card for our poor experience. Love! Five... months... later.... they called us and reminded us that we had a gift card waiting there; I was so grateful that they hadn't thrown it out! The restaurant is pretty small and quaint. It sits on the corner of Mackland. We ended up coming back in around dinner time. Our server came over and greeted us, she was pleasant. I asked her which one of their specialty drinks was the least sweetest because sweet & overly sweet drinks are a no for me. She went to ask the bartender and the bartender recommended the old-fashioned... I literally get old fashioned's everywhere I go which is why I wanted to know which one of THEIR specialty drinks was the least sweetest so I could try one of those. But I guess that was the only option?? We order appetizers and we opt for brisket ravioli, and lobster arincini. The ravioli was good with the green goddess sauce. Just "good." I couldn't try the other appetizers as I am allergic to shellfish, but my husband said they were also, just OK. My husband opted for a seafood pasta that he said was bland, again I couldn't taste because of the allergy but for him to say that speaks volumes because he never complains about anything. I ordered the steak medallions which were delicious & cooked perfectly, my veggie side was also bland so I just added some salt and pepper and they were fine. I may come back and try something new.

My wife is using a walker due to upcoming hip replacement surgery and the hostess suggested we use the outside patio gate instead of trying to pass through the restaurant. We sat in the patio and water and fresh hot 2 kinds of bread were placed on the table. Our server, Connor, is so knowledgeable and pleasant. He was patient with us and his wine suggestion was spot on. Great sense of humor and he worked all the patio tables. The food choices were amazing and exceeded expectations. Pricing was comparable with what we expected. The lobster bisque was thick, hot and very filling. There was ample pieces of lobster as well. My wife shared that her pasta was not hard or dry or rubbery but tasted freshly made. Connor shared that the prep starts every morning with homemade pasta. The traditional toasted ravioli were just that, toasted and tasty and the CG shrimp seemed so much more than an appetizer. Meals could be had with just those. I was very satisfied it ordered lasagna anyway. I just had them pack it to go as I was comfortably full. I know there are a lot of choices on the Hill but I assure you this one stands out. Please treat yourself to Charlie Gitto's. Don't wait for a special reason. Any time you eat here will be special

We had 6pm reservations and were seated on time but people without reservations faced a 2 hour wait. Make reservations! Upon entering, there is a hostess stand and small bar with seating extending to the back of the building. We had the first table so I can't comment on the full size. My son ordered a Bloody Mary and I had a Pinot Noir while we looked at menu. Bloody Mary was very good and the wine was pleasant. We started with Garlic Bread with Cheese. It was the only menu item I would not order again. Flavors did not come together. I ate my fair share so it was good. Just not great. We then shared a cheese pizza with provel. Elite crust and sauce! The crust had an amazing char and the sauce was deliciously nuanced. The cheese was very good, but most definitely not the star of the pie. Pasta Pomodoro was wonderful. House made pasta was excellent and the sauce was a perfect accompaniment. (Anthonino's really does sauces well!) I finished with tiramisu and I am so glad I did! Did I need it? No. Did I want it?

I have had salve osteria on the hit list for a while, and my expectations were far exceeded. This place is both insanely busy and also a hidden gem at the same time. It does not get the attention, nor press it deserves. The place is jumping with good people and good vibes. I got their New Years special which was prix fixe with prime rib as the main event. Everything was superb. The cassoulet had a beautiful spice with a velvety texture. The crab tom yum risotto was so decadent. Silky smooth from the coconut with a beautiful herby finish from the mint chili oil to complement the crab. I never thought I'd say this, but the brussel sprouts stole the show! Cooked in some bacon fat they were crunchy, salty, and perfect. Oh, and the prime rib was everything a kid could ever dream of. Fatty and the cacao rub was amazing. The horseradish was spectacular. The whipped potatoes were light and airy. Think of mashed potatoes in whipped cream form. A texture and flavor combination I will now dream of because I imagine I will never get to experience something so lovely again. As for cocktails, i kept it simple with a martini... I mean, it is a gin bar, how could I not? The service was great. I was dining solo and the servers and bar tender kept me updated, well taken care, and treated with intense hospitality.

I did have one issue: I ordered a Barr Hill Vodka Martini at a premium price, and it had a strong taste of Juniper. I alerted the staff and they were very apologetic and understanding, unfortunately the manager assured me it was Vodka and didn't acknowledge the possibility it tasted like gin. I'm guessing bartender failed to rinse the shaker properly after the previous gin shake, resulting in a vodka drink with a strong gin flavor. The staff kindly replaced the drink with a lower quality vodka that helped satisfy me. The situation was resolved, but I walked away feeling misunderstood and dismissed by the owner. I will be back and I do recommend this restaurant. :)

We also got alcohol so it would have been cheaper without wine and a mixed drink. Best Italian on the Hill in my opinion!

    Tonight we went to Zia's with family for a back-to-school dinner, and unfortunately, it was a bad…read moreexperience. The food was average at best. The toasted ravioli were small and tasted like they might have come straight from the freezer. The salad was probably the best part--they are known for their sweet Italian dressing. My chicken spiedini was nothing special, with flavorless prosciutto and a piece of cartilage in one bite. My wife's entrée was swimming in a bowl of sauce. Even the bread in the basket was smashed. The drinks were just OK, not fully mixed. The ambiance wasn't much better. It was noisy, with a constant parade of traffic passing right by our table. Our server was just OK. The oddest part of the evening was the table busser, who would literally throw plates and silverware into his tub. Every few minutes, he'd clear another table, crashing everything around. When he reset the table next to us, he actually threw the plates onto the table like he was trying to break them. It was so absurd that we laughed out loud. Seriously, you can get better food and service for half the price at Pasta House.
