I love Vom Fass. Today was my second time stopping in here and I was in search of the delicious…read moreBear Garlic oil I had gotten last tim. They did not have this but once the very nice lady that works there knew what I wanted she was able to recommend items I would enjoy. She is so patient and kind. I enjoy the fact that she is extremely knowledgeable about the products and gave me a taste of everything I asked for, even mixing oil and vinegar together for me so I could taste the combination. She took her time explaining the bottle sizes (and a bonus, I didn't know before is that if you keep your bottle and clean them, bring them back and they will refill them with a new oil. It saves on the cost a bit because you don't have to buy new bottles) There is a very nice stock of alcohol as well here and they are all so unique. I am not a drinker so I skipped that but the selection of oils and vinegars is just as impress. They also have things like risotto, spices, chutneys, honey, chocolates and more. It is a very cute and welcoming space where you are greeted, allowed to explore and then assisted which makes for a great shopping experience. There is also a man who works the shop who I spoke with last time and I'd like to acknowledge that he is equally as friendly and knowledgeable about products and very friendly and helpful. Now I want to say here that I really feel when it comes to oil and vinegar you get the quality you pay for. Bot only does Vom Fass stock items using herbs and fruits that are in season but they are truly quality items. I am health conscious so enjoy using oil and vinegar of salads or veggie platters and Lao use flavored oils for roasting vegetables and each time I have used a Vom Fass item, I have been blown away by the taste so their products are definitely splurge worthy. Finally they host wine tastings and meal events that look fantastic and I will be signing up for some events here in the future. On the way out, the gentleman who works there came and opened the door for us and void us goodbye and safe travels. I appreciate this step and again felt not only welcomed but appreciated.

Definitely a hidden Gem in downtown Maplewood. I decided to stop in to see what they had to offer…read moreand I'm glad i did. They sell infused oils, Vinegars, spices,liquor, wine and spirits. The oils and Vinegars are in barrels lined up on the shelves, with labels that show pricing and a brief description. You are able to taste all that they have to offer, just reach out to staff for assistance. I saw quite a few different olive oils i wanted to purchase, but opted to go with the garlic infused olive oil. I did sample it, and it was absolutely delicious. You can definitely taste the garlic. It was almost as if i was eating a fresh baked slice of garlic bread. I'm looking forward to going back and purchasing the chili Olive oil, and the pomegranate Vinegar. The gentleman working at the time stated Vom Fass has been around since 2006. Beautiful clean layout. Plenty of parking outside and friendly staff! They offer tastings in store so be sure to check them out. Also, they are an Eco conscious store, so all their products are in reusable glass containers. Bring in your clean glasses to refill.

Everyone is so friendly, from other shoppers to the staff who checks in to see if you need anything. I was looking for Tuna, but when I saw the selection, I couldn't remember which type I needed so that just means I will have to go back! I bought a large jar of capers because I can never have enough of them and I happened upon a frozen Seafood Mix Mediterranean PanaPesca. This looks really good and I think it is for a pasta dish, I will try it and see. I wish I had known when we were there that we were going to have winter weather this weekend! I would have purchased a lot more and if you need to know this, they have fresh yeast cakes. I would have purchased it to make St. Louis school cafeteria rolls.

Love the Bitchin sauce, I didn't think the Chipotle flavor was much different from the original but still delicious. I was nervous about the rice, I have had some that is not good at all, but both of these were great. The Blue Zone Bowl was awesome, too. More items to add to my list to continue to purchase!

I love to come grab something to eat for lunch every now and then since they are across from my office. The store is always clean, and well stocked. Staff is always friendly and willing to help answer questions or help you simply find what you are looking for. The store and parking lot can get congested during peak hours, making it hard to maneuver. So it's best to come in the morning or later in the evening to shop if possible. You are able to bring back Amazon returns and drop them into the bin, or hand them to the worker at the counter located near the self-checkout stations.

Service was quick and friendly and it was a really great stop and I really like that they do not use sodium nitrite in their products, they are all natural! And very tasty.

Respectable Americanized-Italian restaurant on The Hill…read more.. I was in town for work with the ole ball and chain, and we met some friends at MOTH for dinner on a Friday... Quint lil restaurant nestled in the middle of the STL Italian district. The restaurant looks like a big Italian family room and smelled like my G-Ma's kitchen. The staff super super friendly and accommodating. As for the food, it was solid Italian but I wouldn't call it "authentic", but more Americanized Italian fare (albeit the toasted raviolis were as good as advertised). We really like that the staff didn't rush you... Good pacing with dinner and no pushiness to turn tables. The only reason I didn't give 5 stars was the price... $250 for 4 people is expensive regardless of it being STL. While I still contend Gian-Tony's is the best Italian restaurant OTH, MOTH was good and offers an enjoyable dinner experience with friends and family... It's easy to see why they've been a successful family run business for so many years.

The sauce had the perfect consistency... creamy, rich, and with just the right amount of kick. I skipped the peas, added a meatball and paired it with the recommended Koha Sauvignon Blanc. Easily the best vodka sauce I've had in St. Louis! Already dreaming of the day we meet again. We sat on the patio and had wonderful service with Connor.

The restaurant vibe is fantastic. Welcoming and hopping but not too loud that you couldn't hear yourself think.

Who doesn't like Pasta!!!…read more So it was a girls night, i will say the restaurant is open and noisy. Not off putting type of noisy, but you are not having any romantic private conversations here. We are in Clayton so you know the ambiance is right, nothing to complain about there. My waiter was attentive, almost to attentive, until it came to the check then I couldn't find him lol. Not complaining though because way to often you have to be ultra patient. WE had a large chopped salad which was delicious. I had Pomodoro pasta which was good. BUT THE STAR OF THE SHOW WAS THE BRUSSEL SPROUTS. we ate two orders and I ordered one to go. Now i am not a pasta snob but I do enjoy the hill, and my favorite Italian restaurant is EAtely in Chicago. Now this, aint that. But i would definitely come back and try other things on the menu. ITs affordable enough that i can bring my whole family, its nice enough that this could be classified as a special night out. If you have teenagers or young adults that are currently dating within a budget, your date will feel special if you bring her here.
