    What a great find in Clayton. Was in town visiting my daughter and was looking for a causal spot…read morewith good food. I stumbled across Pastaria and was immediately drawn to the place. I sat at the bar and was immediately greeted and given a menu. I ordered the Citrus Salad and Fried Risotto Balls. OMG the risotto balls are something that cannot be passed up. Simply amazing. The salad was so good, could have used a touch of acid but was superb. The service was top notch and will not only be coming back but recommending Pastaria to anyone that I like. 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.

    Wow. It is easy to see why Charlie Gitto's has garnered 4 1/2 stars overall on this site. It was…read morethat good. I was taught by brother that you should book your first dinner reservation as after flying all day, one is tired, and not able to make good decisions...hence eating at a TGI Fridays in New Orleans on our first night. I have heard about that since. Charlie's had the perfect vibe going as it has a great reputation. Wendy was also simply amazing and shared may stories of St Louis and was just a tremendous server. The only thing that tricked us was the Toasted Ravioli. It has meat in it, and my wife is vegetarian. The Arancini was terrific and the table bread was also quite tasty. My wife had the Manicotti and I had the Chicken Lemonata. So great. The bottle of the house Gitto's Red was the perfect wine as well. A great experience at a restaurant that is a legend in St. Louis and I am glad it was our first meal in the city.

We've had so many of the dishes and special items....every one of them delivers great flavor. The atmosphere is perfect. The service is on point always. An old school approach to a tremendous dining experience. Special Note: Suzanne - an owner along with her brother: she always makes the place for me. She somehow always remembers me, even though I don't live in Stl. She always sends an antipasti to my table....and makes the night start off great! Suzanne and that little laugh and smile she has - she's a gem!

The menu is full of delicious choices and most dinners include salad and a scoop of ice cream. The house pesto dressing is so delicious. The mizithra pasta and broccoli is my favorite and I highly recommend it. We love the garlic cheesy bread appetizer as well. Service was fast and friendly and prices are good for what you get. I do believe you have to pay for parking if you use the lot next door, but there are free spots around as well.

    Our group of 11 ate here during a convention and had a very disappointing experience…read more Our reservation was at 6:30pm, and our entire party arrived early at 6:15. Showing up on time, with a 11 people, because we respect the time of others. Despite that, it took over an hour and a half to receive our food. We waited about 20 minutes to get our drinks, our salads arrived before the drinks, which set the tone for the rest of the evening. When the meals finally came out, a couple were cold. At that point, we had been there close to two hours. What was most frustrating, though, was how the situation was handled. The manager offered a minimal discount and quickly dismissed our concerns. When we asked to speak with the General Manager, we were met with the same lack of concern and no real effort to make things right. We understand that restaurants get busy, especially during events, but communication and customer service go a long way. Unfortunately, both were lacking here. We really wanted to enjoy this experience, but the service and response from management made it hard to overlook. *NOTE to management - You can save yourself some time and skip the COPY/PASTE response. It comes across as insincere and you have already proved our concerns do not matter.*

It really is consistently good and we've never had a bad experience here. We started with cocktails and I had the espresso martini. It was very good! She had more of a fruity martini and also enjoyed it. They give you bread which is always a plus, and we started with an appetizer of mozzarella fritti which was fresh mozzarella and fried. Delicious. We also obviously had to get the salad and it was so good with the house dressing. We had the chicken piccata and the pollo Soto. My piccata came with a side of pasta and was very tasty. I loved the lemon and the capers. Our server was kind and helpful. I definitely recommend making a reservation because we went at noon on a Saturday and it was poppin! I'll be back :)

Thankfully, we weren't waiting too long until our table was ready. We were seated outside and were quickly given water and menus. We both started with the house salad and were given complimentary bread. The salads and bread were ok, but nothing to write home about. I'd say all the restaurants on the hill have the same bread except for a couple, so don't expect anything fancy. I got the Italian Lemon drip and thought it was refreshing. Up until that point, our server was relatively attentive and seemed to have no problem communicating with us. When it came time to take our order, I got the chicken spiedini special but asked if a few things could be removed (which she said wasn't a problem). Evidently it was because my boyfriend's food came before mine only to be met by the manager who claimed our server was misinformed and that modifications couldn't be made after all. He then asked if I was ok getting it how it looks in the picture, which I was happy to take (I prefer it this way). What struck us as odd is why our server couldn't tell us that. We didn't think it was a big deal but it clearly showed the lack of confidence she had and her inability to properly communicate. Unfortunately, service was just ok after that but then when it came for the bill, she read the price aloud! Again, it definitely wasn't necessary and instantly made me not want to come back. It was incredibly tacky and I was over it and that point. Overall, it was ok but I'm not sure this warrants a return visit.
