    Pizza
    Claire C.

    Had a great experience here with family while in town last weekend. Our waitress was so so friendly and very helpful and quick with everything that we needed! The place is huge and we were sat immediately, I imagine the parking lot gets full but we were also able to find a spot big enough for our truck. We all got different things. I got the spicy pappardelle entree, my dad and his gf split one of the STL pizzas, and my boyfriend got the meatball sub. Everything we got was DELICIOUS. The pappardelle was the perfect level of spicy and the meatballs that came with it were AMAZING and HUGE. My boyfriend really liked his sandwich and I also liked the pizza my dad and his gf got. I'd never had STL style pizza before so that was neat! Overall, I'd definitely recommend this spot especially if you're in the mood for a big and filling meal!

    Pepperoni pizza

    This was only my second time here but it sure didn't disappoint. Hands down the best meal ever! I opted for the pepperoni pizza and the seafood pasta and they both were incredible! I had plenty of leftovers. The staff was very attentive and welcoming!

    Chicken Spiedini
    Steven F.

    Somehow I'd never been here before, but I can't wait to come back. Photo doesn't do it justice, but their Chicken Spiedini is probably the best I've had in St. Louis. The parmesan risotto was delicious and went so well with the dish. Service was great as well, and the covered patio had a great vibe for a great meal.

    Small Caesar
    Chrissy E.

    So it was Sunday evening and I was scrolling looking for something to eat. I googled "pesto pasta" and to my surprise, Farotto's popped up. I was excited because I had only been here a few times but was excited to try their food. I arrived and per usual, sat in the bar area. It took a while for me to get water, so I was bit disappointed in that. When the server finally came, although I was ready to give him my entire order, as soon as I told him what I wanted to drink, he turned and walked the other way. When he finally came back, I ordered a small caesar and the pasta farotto. The salad came out rather quickly and although the parm crisps were good, that was about it. The balsamic dressing I got was way too salty and it made it tough to eat. I ate what I could tolerate but that was only to hold me over until the real food arrived and when it did, that's when things took a turn. First, I had NO idea the portions were that large. They could easily serve four people comfortably. The first few bites were underwhelming. What I thought would be the highlight of my dad ended up being a buzzkill. The pasta literally tasted like something of a frozen dinner. The sauce was watery, lacked flavor, and wasn't good. I literally had four bites and decided that was enough, so I asked for the check and dipped. This visit was a bit disappointing. I'd be willing to come back and give them another shot, but I also don't want to be left disappointed.

    My seafood cannoli!!!
    Terrilyn L.

    How have missed this gem all these years!!! Met some friends for a hurry up happy hour... ummm parking or lack there of first clue!!! The staff was friendly and helpful. I found my friends!!! I ordered a Bourbon Smash. And I drank it...fast. Delish! Moved to wine so I could pace my alcohol. I ordered the seafood cannoli. I ate it ... fast. Sooo delicious. The ambiance is a hard call. It full of people having a good time so does that count. I will be going back... must try more deliciousness.

    Very cool open place.. first time weirdly.... It was really busy at lunch and still had great service. Loved the cannoli and flash fried spinach. (Off menu). Kudos to the friendly fast service & delicious food! I will be back! Great gf options!

    Supreme pizza
    Keith J.

    Farotto's is one of my favorite STL style pizzas and is located on Manchester Rd in Rock Hill. I've been there there times and I keep going back for the supreme pizza that is wonderful although is kind of salty. The place was pretty busy on a Saturday night so we grabbed seats at the bar and that was fine although a little noisy but they got out our pizza, arancini, and t-rav appetizers fresh and hot and didn't take too long at all. Friendly service too, maybe I'll get pasta next time I go back.

    Signature Roast Beef with Fresh Parmesan Chips
    Scott S.

    I am a food and entertainment critic who covers the Chicago and St Louis markets. I call it like I see and experience it. I stand by my reviews. Farotto's has been a St Louis favorite since 1956 spanning multiple generations. The restaurant is still owned by the original family members. They've expanded it too. Their outside patio although still under cover is fantastic. They have a large bar with several giant TVs. On a warm summer night it's fantastic. I hold restaurants accountable. I look at their mission statement and how they describe themselves. Funny how the food and service does not back up the bold talk. What the owner claims since he started working at the restaurant since he was 11 years old was, he discovered that people really want from a restaurant is high quality food, the best service, and fair prices. Their mission statement boast can be assured of receiving quality meals with world class service. Let's talk about the world class service. As we all know St Louis was just under extreme heat with heat indexes of over 100. My first glass of water had Ice and was very cold on such a hot night. My ice had melted and when the server came around to refill, his pitcher had NO ice and the water was cool to slightly warm at best. C'mon, really! Common sense, and world class service says, get ice in the pitcher! I order their "signature" roast beef sandwich on a garlic cheese roll with fresh Parmesan potato chips. The roast beef sandwich was juicy, but I hate to say it, tasted and had the consistency like something from Arby's. I finished it but really didn't like it. I expected the garlic cheese roll to be bursting with flavor and it wasn't. You hardly tasted the garlic cheese. Honestly, if you want the FINEST Italian roast beef sandwich and truly a signature dish, the BEST in St Louis is Grassi's in Frontenac off Lindbergh and German Blvd. I was hesitant to try the fresh parmesan potato chips but I figured why not. Sounded good. The chips were home made which I like but there was literally no flavor. They must have really skimped on the parmesan. To be fair, let's talk about the pizza. The Light Italian Pizza was very good. Consisting of olive oil, mozzarella, garlic, spinach, mushroom, and large chunks of tomato was very good. Even just as good the second day as a leftover. Bottom line is this, go to Farratos, order what you want but do not get the roast beef sandwich. There's better elsewhere. Make sure the server has COLD water WITH ICE. Mr Farrotto needs to look at his mission statement and his philosophy and don't rest on his laurels. The bar keeps getting raised.

    House Salad
    Andrea S.

    After getting back into town from a long weekend on the Mississippi coast (driving, mind you), I was in no mood to cook or to grab another quick/fast-food meal so we decided on a close to home stop. All I really wanted was to get a healthy-ish meal like a salad or anything not fried. My husband suggested Farotto's and I was too exhausted to argue against Italian. My eyes went immediately to the salads. Such a good variety of options. I chose the Beet and Chèvre salad. I can't lie though, the First Bites (appetizers) sounded amazing and I was secretly hoping my husband would suggest a starter like the Arancini Pizziolo but I suppose that makes a great reason to return soon. We both opted for small salads and to split a small supreme pizza. My Beet Chèvre salad was a work of art. A visually stunning presentation of a pretty basic salad with amazing flavor profiles. My only complaint, and I hate to call it a complaint because I LOVE goat cheese, was the ratio of cheese to beet. It was too much and overpowered the beet. The dressing and balsamic was DE-licious and those pickled onions...yum. Let's talk pizza...one of the best thin crust pizzas in town. Fresh toppings and a crispy thin crust cooked to perfection! The perfect ratio of sauce, cheese and toppings cooked to the perfect wellness; light and crispy with a well done finish. We were seated on the enclosed deck and it had a really relaxed vibe and heaters to keep it nice and cozy for the chilly evening. It was a breath of fresh air (pun intended) that it was not noisy, despite being pretty busy on a Tuesday night. The service was impeccable. From the time we walked in the door, the staff was very attentive, accommodating and friendly. Although our visit was for a lighter fare, the menu proved to be filled with many items that I'd love to try when I haven't been pumped full of southern fried delights for days. I will definitely go back.

    Hot diggity diggin' dog was it busy. Service was absolutely stellar, shoutout to Nicole. She was very attentive, checked up on us just enough. I knew that our table was very rowdy so i'm glad that she could bear with it. The place will be filled. That is a expectation. Restrooms and seating areas were sparkling clean! Nothing to complain about in terms of ambiance. Roomy and spacious, not crammed at all. Parking lot is a little small though. Prices weren't as great as I thought though, it wasn't at the right value in my opinion. Food was decent though, it was filling and well portioned. Just enough to eat by yourself or share with two, same could go for dessert. Dessert was absolutely delicious, not too sweet and light. I wouldn't come here again, the food I found only to be average but the dessert made up for it. It was nice to try Faratto's though, it was.

    Bread basket
    Michelle H.

    If you happen to be on Manchester in the Rock Hill area be sure to stop by Farottos for an authentic Italian meal! We went on a Saturday afternoon and sat on their expansive deck with several tv's to enjoy basketball or Cardinals baseball. There were couples, families with young children and girls day out groups all enjoying themselves. We started with the complimentary bread basket which was so soft and delicious! Our appetizer of toasted raviolis came out quickly and was a large portion. The dipping sauce is so flavorful and the best I've had in this area. Shortly after we received our entrees. Go simple and enjoy the large portion of spaghettini and meatballs and you won't regret it! Our waiter was friendly and kept our water filled despite the large crowd. I just have nothing but the highest compliments for this establishment!

    Half of "The Sicilian" salad - fantastic.

Warning.... Beware of delivery. I thought they did their own but for individual orders, they farm it out and the cost is high and IMO not worth it if you are able to pick it up at their cute shop in webster groves and deliver on your own. I almost paid $42 to deliver 1 grocery bag of food to chesterfield! My car costs less for a full tank of gas so round trip delivering on my own was way way less. The amount was not shared with me on order placement and when the charge hit my bank I was really surprised! I called and cancelled the delivery and was issued a credit, but it was a surprise I did not need, if they had just been upfront about the charge while ordering. Love the food, great local business/neighbor and always a pleasure to give them business.

Stephanie put my fears to rest by assuring me she'd take care of all the details. As the day of the party dawned, we had the place all cleaned up and ready.

All the food was labeled so our guests could choose foods that were best for their food sensitivities.
