    A heck of a happy hour! My intern and I met here for a working happy hour and it was perfect! Ample space at the table, casual but still felt elevated, and a great/ affordable menu when huge portions. We had the chicken lollipops, zucchini fries, meatballs, and espresso martinis. The espresso martinis were delightful, light but not too sweet. The food was all delicious, I especially loved the zucchini fries. Like I said, the portions were huge! We both had a bunch of food to take home. I'm Looking forward to returning for dinner!

    Chicken lollipop
    Madhura J.

    We went here for early dinner after a matinee show at the Fox . Making reservations was easy online: the food was delicious . We loved the apps - artichoke , pulpo , cheese . We tried bunch of apps : hamburger , lobster roll, lobster gnocchi (yum!!) and a Salad with chicken. Ambience was causal and relaxed

    Arancini

    I am so glad to have had this spot recommended to me. I have walked by this spot a few times and just assumed it was a grocery store, I had no idea there was a restaurant as well and now that I know it's there, I cannot wait to visit again! I made a reservation ahead of time and when we arrived, our table was ready and our server was quick to bring over water and make some recommendations on apps. None of us were drinking cocktails that night, but we did order some tea and sodas along with an order of arancini and an order of the chicken lollipops! Once our apps were brought over, we talked with our server a bit about entree recommendations and with his help, we all were quite happy with the decisions we made and we knew that we could share with one another so that we could all try multiple dishes! The apps were so good, I loved the arancini so much and enjoyed the sauces for dipping. And the chicken lollipops were so unique. Crunchy on the outside and juicy inside. Basically, chicken wings, but the presentation was so unique. When our meals arrived, everything looked so good and fresh. The pasta was perfect and the greens were fresh. The salmon was cooked just right. Everything was just lovely and the flavors were top notch! While we did not finish everything, it was nice to be able to pack some leftovers and reheating them did not mess up any of the flavors. All in all, this was a great spot for dinner and I am going to visit again soon.

    Live and Learn. When I've been on, The Hill in the past, I always thought Marconi Mercado was a boutique grocery store. The other day I was visiting The Hill with a friend and she suggested that we go inside for a cocktail. I was bewildered, but went with the flow. Once inside, I did see a variety of grocery items, but there was much more. They had a bakery counter that had some very tempting pastries. There was also a bar and a dining room. This all blew my mind. We had already eaten, so we just had Espresso Martinis at the bar. The martinis were made with real espresso, which is always a big plus for me. However, the glass was on the small size for the $14 price. It should have been $12. Also, they need to upgrade the glassware to a true martini glass. The service was friendly and efficient. Now I want to go back soon and try some of the food. When: January 13, 2026 Why: Day Drinking with Friend

    Fall salad
    Jenelle B.

    Unique menu - if you aren't familiar with Italian dishes, be sure to ask wait staff to describe dishes to you. We started with the lobster ravioli. Delicious, and $20 for 4 ravioli. Next fall salad (butternut squash, apples, pecans) - also delicious! My husband had the prime rib (cooked perfectly to order with a delicious serving of mashed potatoes), I had the mushroom ravioli. It was rich and a bit salty. Overall, food was well made and served promptly.

    Omg YUM! This might be my favorite place on The Hill!!! The burrata was incredible. The balsamic was my favorite part. I also loved the soft bread and arugula. Overall an awesome appetizer. I wasn't blown away by the baked ricotta though. The lobster gnocchi was delicious. Lobster was perfect, loved the creamy spicy rich sauce, and gnocchi were perfect pillows of goodness. We finished the night with chocolate cake! The water tasted a little off to me but otherwise great. Lots of seating, cute part of town, street parking. Great service too. Our waiter was very patient since we had a bigger group and he was super nice.

    I really wanted to like this place. I was super excited to go to dinner there. It made Ian Frobe's top 100. The chef was Chef of the year for the Missouri Restaurant Association and I thought wow this is gonna be great! So let's start with the great, our waiter was really great super nice really helpful. The old-fashioned's were really good. The salads; there were three people in our party and I had an Italian salad and my sister had the other salad and they were both really good. There's a bread service on the appetizer menu and while I didn't have any, my friends, both said that they really enjoyed that. As far as entree's go, my sister had the fungi ravioli and she really enjoyed that. That is about the extent of the great. Now for the not so great, we had made a reservation at least a week in advance, and when we got there, for some reason, we're seated at a six high top in the bar, even though there were tables in what they consider the dining room room available for the three of us. OK, no problem until the bar became extremely loud. There were people partying on the other side of the room and while that's great it wasn't so great for us. We ordered an octopus appetizer. It was just so so really pretty lackluster. I had the veal chop. It was just OK really nothing to write home about and my husband had the Lucatelli and he had a little bit of it. The sauce he said was the best he felt like the noodles were really undercooked. Maybe that's the way they're supposed to be and we're just not used to. Anyway, it wasn't the great experience that I had hoped.

    Salmon and lump crab manicotti
    Brittany M.

    This restaurant is open on a Monday. Do I need to say more?!? I ordered the Lombatello entree, which includes marinated hanger steak, boursin garlic herb mashed potatoes and crispy Brussel sprouts with romesco sauce. I have no idea what's in this orange sauce but I liked it. It seems like it's something in the chimichurri family but red sauces based. I can probably count on one hand how many times I have ordered boneless steak. I will say this dish "wow'd" me. It wasn't heavy and it did not skimp on flavor. Everyone else at my table ordered the jumbo lump crab manicotti. They all loved it so I made sure to taste it. I can say it was good and the packed the cheese and sauce in. One person even ordered the salmon for extra entree for lunch. Another person said it was the BEST salmon they ever had. Now I do not eat Salmon so I cannot confirm or deny that comment. Overall excellent restaurant choice. Great service, clean, good drinks (not pictured), and price was about the same as another Italian restaurant.

    Whipped Mashed Potatoes
    Tess A.

    Decided to stray from our normal Hill favorites and give Marconi Mercato a try! The inside is very cute and was decorated for Christmas. We skipped apps and ordered the Bucatini Cacio E Pepe and the Nduja é Salsiccia Piccante. The Cacio E Pepe was pretty good, but it could have used more cheese. My partner didn't like the Nduja é Salsiccia Piccante very much, said it was bland. I enjoyed the mashed potatoes, they were mostly whipped but had a few chunks still which I like. The sherry green beans weren't my favorite but we were trying something new. There is a cute market right when you walk in which we would have liked to check out, but by the time we finished eating the market had closed. We may give this another try sometime and order some different items.

    Lobster Roll and fries
    Mishell H.

    Went here with friends one night. I had never heard of it, but love trying new places. Parking in the hill is never easy but we were able to find a good spot. We were seated quickly and ordered appetizers. We got the burrata and cauliflower. Both appetizers were yummy and flavorful. For dinner I ordered the lobster roll. Lobster roll was just okay but the fries that came with it were yummy. It's a cute place behind the market. Noise does carry throughout it. But that might have just been someone that was really loud. Overall good dining experience and would def go back!

    Grilled octopus and pork belly
    Mel A.

    If you're looking for a dining space that is not fussy but delivers high quality food with a wide variety of menu items which could include some atypical offerings, look no further than Marconi Mercato! You enter through the market and the restaurant is located towards the back. I made a 6pm reservations and we were seated immediately. There's a bar area with dining tables closer to the restaurant entrance but we were seated at the dining area close to the kitchen. They had a sangria special which was fitting for the season (autumnal flavors). I ordered that to start and it was delicious. Then we shared some grilled octopus with sweet potato mash and pork belly. The sauce had fantastic flavors, the grilled octopus, perfectly charred in places and the pork belly was great as well. Immediate Chef's kiss with the appetizer we've chosen. I was deliberating over the lobster gnocchi and the crab manicotti but in the end I decided on the gnocchi. Fortunately enough for me, I had voiced my opinion and my husband ordered the manicotti for himself so I had the chance to try them as well. Both dishes were lovely but our waitress was right, the manicotti was richer than the gnocchi. The sauce over the gnocchi was very good and while I ate my entire lobster tail at dinner, I ended up taking home the rest of the gnocchi. I was too full for dessert, unfortunately but we did browse through the market. They have a frozen section where several flavors of their tiramisu are sold. Service was fabulous. Our waitress came to check on us at regular intervals and it seemed that they actually all help each other out as our beverage and food orders were delivered to the table by available staff in a timely manner. Our table was also cleared off of dirty dishes fairly quickly which is always a great thing to see. I would definitely come back. With such an extensive menu, I'm sure I will not go home hungry or disappointed. I was especially eyeing the wagyu ribeye and would love to try it next visit!

    zucchini fries
    Thao N.

    An absolute gem for happy hour. I went with my manager and their espresso martini did not miss. I really loved their chicken lollipops and was pleasantly surprised by their zucchini fries. The atmosphere was so calming and it's a perfect place to connect with others in St. Louis!

    Roger L.

    One of my favorite bar tops in STL for a great lunch or dinner experience! Food is super fresh, staff super friendly and the atmosphere is what you'd expect on the Hill aka feels like home for a Sunday dinner

    I was really impressed with this speakeasy. It was obviously hard to find the door, lol but look…read morefor those red lights over it. The bouncer was super nice and he actually walked me all the way in. our waitress was also very nice and attentive. It was not busy when we were there and we had reservations for a group of six, which is apparently the most you can have on a reservation. We were there to celebrate a friend's birthday and everyone got a variety of drinks from the cocktail menu. I got their version of the whiskey sour with the cherry froth on top and it was so good. The waitress said it is the most popular and I can see why I really enjoyed it and would've ordered more if it wasn't so expensive for one drink the table, got a variety of the small bites such as the cheese and the Barada. They also got some bread which looked awesome. I did not try personally, but it looked very impressive. the atmosphere is dark and mysterious. It smelled good and felt fancy. The decor is very tasteful and makes you feel like you are truly in a speakeasy. The location is outstanding with it being near the foundry. If you're looking for a place to grab a drink, this is definitely a fun stop however, don't expect a full meal. Overall would be back!

    Finding None of the Above hidden inside The Foundry was such a fun experience and definitely one of…read morethe highlights of our visit. We showed up without a reservation, which I wouldn't necessarily recommend. We were initially told the wait would probably be around an hour and a half, so reservations are definitely a good idea. Somehow, we got super lucky and received a text that they were ready for us only about 10 or 15 minutes later. We ended up sitting at the bar, which honestly made the experience even better. If you enjoy watching bartenders work their magic, I highly recommend sitting there if you get the chance. The cocktails here are unlike anything we've had before, and it was so much fun watching all the different drinks being made and seeing the creativity that goes into each one. Our bartender, John, was amazing. He was incredibly personable, answered all of our questions, and was genuinely enjoyable to talk to throughout the evening. Between the two of us, we tried four cocktails. I started with the Linea Uno and asked John if he could make it less bitter after the woman sitting next to me mentioned that was an option. It was delicious, although I apparently didn't pay enough attention to the menu when ordering because it was tequila-based, and tequila normally isn't my first choice. The Trade Winds was one of the coolest drinks of the night, made with clarified rum, apricot, and coconut and topped with mango air. The mango air literally looked like bubbles but smelled like mango. Such a unique presentation, and the drink itself was really enjoyable. My husband tried the New York Whiskey Sour, made with clarified whiskey, yuzu, tart cherry, and black lime cordial with a red wine foam. Again, the presentation was beautiful, and it tasted just as good as it looked. My personal favorite was Ankra's Passion Fruit Martini, made with vodka, vanilla, passion fruit, lime, and bubbles. It came with a small glass of champagne on the side, which was a really nice touch. John mentioned that I could drink the champagne separately or add it to the martini as I went. I ended up pouring some into the cocktail, and for me, it balanced out the sweetness of the passion fruit perfectly. The entire speakeasy experience was just fun, from trying to find the entrance to making our way inside and finally settling in at the bar. We took plenty of pictures and videos along the way, but I'm intentionally not posting most of them because I don't want to ruin the surprise for anyone visiting for the first time. I will share a picture of the red light you need to look for at The Foundry since we initially had a little trouble figuring out where to go, along with some photos of our drinks. The rest of the journey inside is something I think you should experience for yourself. Creative cocktails, beautiful presentations, a genuinely fun atmosphere, and fantastic service from John made this an easy five-star experience for us. If you're visiting The Foundry and enjoy unique cocktails and hidden speakeasies, None of the Above is absolutely worth finding. Just learn from us and make a reservation. We got very lucky!

I'm disappointed that it took me so long to make my way here. They won me over with the tiny dedicated parking lot. At my big age, difficult parking situations are a turn off and I will go home if I can't get reasonable parking. I was able to snag a space in the lot and headed in. The space is a bit dark with rich sage, brass, and terracotta. There are several hanging plants making it an inviting place. The bar has plenty of comfortable seating and cozy tables if you decide to bring some friends. Caleb was our server during our visit. He was an absolute delight. He made excellent cocktail suggestions. He looked after our group without being overly doting. Just a gem of a human. We tried approximately 9 cocktails during our visit. Did I mention we were at brunch! I highly recommend the peach bite and the Side Car. Every cocktail is thoughtfully made and well executed. They offer a small brunch menu along with the regular menu. I usually always get chilaquiles when they are available. But today the ruby trout and grits sounded perfect. This dish was amazing!! The trout was thin with crispy skin. The grits were creamy and delicious. The dish is topped with a house made radish pico and salsa macha. We also ordered a breakfast sandwich that was paired with the crispiest breakfast potatoes I've ever had. The burger and fries are also a good option. The seasoning on the fries is next level. The brunch menu has a sticky toffee roll that is a perfect size for sharing or not. Salty sweet fork tender cinnamon roll. Lastly, the deviled eggs were a group favorite. I am a big fan of Passenger Chili Crisp. If you are unfamiliar please look them up! It's hands down the best chili crisp I've ever had. It's locally made here in STL and can also be found in several dishes at restaurants around town. The eggs were creamy with the right amount of tang from the mustard. The chili crisp made these deviled eggs easily top five best I've ever had! Planning to stop in again soon for happy hour with more friends
