This place is top tier. Quality food. Quality service. Quality atmosphere. Italian. Wood-fired pizzas. I could not speak more highly of this place. Make a reservation in advance because it's always busy and the seating area is somewhat small. Have been here twice and both times were exceptional and we were treated so well by the wait staff. The menu is perfectly curated and in season. Great to go with a bigger group (4-6 people or so) so you can try several items! Their pizzas are always by far the favorite things we order. Would especially recommend the Nduja, Sophia, and Fungo pizzas. Big time recommend this place. The owners own the restaurant downstairs as well, BorMio which is Northern European/swiss inspired, and I highly recommend it as well.
My dad and I came here last week right when they opened. We were lucky enough to get a seat at the bar, as we're told they're reservation only otherwise. We had a bottle of white wine, i don't remember the name of it, but it was great! For food we had a pasta dish and a pizza. The service was wonderful, the restaurant is beautiful and the food was amazing! Highly recommend trying this place.
I thought I left a review the first time I tried this place early last year or late 2024 but I guess I didn't. I have since been back at least four times. The first time was a great impression. My fiancé at the time ordered a margarita pizza which was delicious. I ordered a garganelli pasta with some sort of red sauce and beef. It left a lasting impression that made us want to come back for more! The impression was so lasting that I made a reservation for my bachelorette dinner to be here but the pizza I ordered fell very short. I think I ate once slice and left everyone else eat it. We got about 3 different other pizzas and they were just okay. The arancini was good and the blue crab pasta was really good and I was like okay I'll order that next time. It was also to celebrate my birthday and they brought out this dessert and the clove flavoring was so bold I spit it out. It was actually not good at all. I felt bad because they gave it to me for free so I just said I was way too full to finish. (First two visits food pics were on my previous phone so I do not have those any longer!) The third visit, I ordered the blue crab pasta and for the price there was barely anything in the bowl for one, but there were also these small chunks of lemon in it and I could not see it so I bit into it with the peel and it was so sour that it just ruined it for me. Ordered the arancini again but there wasn't enough sauce. The burrata was good though. I feel like I can't catch a break lol The last time I went (last night) we rock paper scissored between the shrimp toast and burrata. Shrimp toast won and I had really great shrimp toast from Indo so this fell flat and then I ordered the garganelli with kale and sunflower seeds and it really wasn't anything great and I've come to realize that this place is overrated and I really think it's psychological because there only open certain days of the week and they're so booked out so it MUST be fantastic, but it's just.. good. That's probably the last time I'll go. I feel a lot better spending my money at Katie's. It's more of a 2.5 star rating but I can't do halves and 2 seems like I hated the place but I didn't. It just really fell short the last 3 visits when other places are just so consistent with quality, Noto has been consistent with disappointment. Hot take, I know from other reviews, so take what you will. Other notes * it's pretty loud so prepare to speak up * very small waiting area - more like an aisle really and an outdoor four person space deck with a door leading to a ramp * even if you make a reservation, the exact time isn't guaranteed until the party before you leaves and they don't rush customers (good if you're the one dining, not so good if you're waiting -- had to wait the night of my bachelorette * no tiramisu a tragedy really * dim lighting so very romantic / love the aesthetic * though it's listed as classy, I've seen men wearing cargo shorts, people wear sweats... disrespectful in my opinion but no strict dress code
I seriously cannot get over how great Noto was. I've been wanting to try this place foreverrrr and since we moved it is quite the drive for us now but totally worth it! I started off with an Aperol Spritz and then went with their drink special of the night which was a white wine- a mix between a Pinot Grigio and a sauvy blanc. So delish! We tried the Nduja pizza which was very different than anything I've had before. We decided to go with the pizza uncut to get a full Neapolitan experience! Definitely recommend. The bolognese was incredible and the cheese was so fresh that they put on top. I told the host last minute (oops) that we were celebrating a birthday and they provided a card and a dessert for our friend which was incredibly sweet. They also get bonus points for all the cat decor in the bathroom. Can't wait to come back again and again!
The restaurant was fully booked for our date tonight (early valentines dinner), but it still felt intimate, and the decor was beautiful. We arrived early for our reservation but they were able to accommodate us, and we continued to receive excellent service courtesy of Hadley for the duration of our dinner. My boyfriend enjoyed his Negroni, which was very adorably adorned with an "XOXO" stamped ice cube. I had a glass of the Sangiovese which was excellent with our meal. They require you to order your entire meal at once, due to the very small kitchen staff. We started with the citrus salad, which was shockingly the star of the show. Do NOT skip this! Everything on the dish went perfectly together, I hope to continue to see this on the menu in the future. Our salad was followed by the mafaldine bolognese, which was rich and delicious, with impeccably cooked pasta. We also tried the sugo pizza, which was on their seasonal pizza list. This wasn't our favorite, but still very good. The guanciale was amazing, albeit a little salty with the other toppings. The pizza crust is definitely the star of the show, rightfully so! I can't wait to come back to try more. Many friends had recommended Noto to me, and it certainly did not disappoint.
We loved it here. Our waiter was very friendly, provided excellent service. The ambiance is great for a date night, it's a small restaurant and decorated beautifully. Would definitely eat here again!
Really have enjoyed all my experiences dining at Noto and this time was no different! They have a great selection of Christmas cocktails (see third photo) right now and the holiday pop up decorations are awesome. I ordered the gnudi. It came with five dumplings and it wasn't quite what I expected. The goat cheese flavor was too much for me, it was just thicker than I imagined. My friend ordered the tonarelli pasta and hers was amazing. I wish the portion was a little more but hey for homemade pasta noodles, I'll take what I can get lol. HIGHLY recommend the tonarelli. Then for dessert we ordered the tiramisu and cannolis. The tiramisu was more like a brownie texture but still amazing. Then the cannolis were perfect. Always love eating here. Also shoutout to our server Jacob because he is always providing great service.
Food was absolutely amazing! We had the Arancini balls and two pizzas and everything was delicious! We even ate the pizza with a fork and knife like the old gods commanded! We got there right when it opened at 4pm. We didn't have a reservation but were there early enough that we got a seat at the bar. I personally think the bar area is a little too dark. They also only had 5 beer options available and all of them were Italian Macro brews consisting of Pilsners, Lagers and a Red Ale. This is Missouri and we need IPA's! One of the more odd rules of the restaurant was that we were not allowed to order a pizza to go. Now I understand it's not Domino's and you can't order 12 pizzas from the seat of your couch for carry out, but we sat at the bar, had an appetizer, two beers apiece and a pizza. When I asked the bartender if we could order a second pizza to go, we were informed that as a general rule you cannot order pizza to go but other foods were available to take home. So I just ordered a second pizza to be served at the bar, ate a piece and then had them box it up. An odd rule when you consider the pizza that is set in front of us could've just as easily been placed in a box in front of us.
If you want to try Noto out, make sure you make a reservation well in advance! The experience is worth the extra planning, trust me! The interior is warm and inviting as well as the hostess. A pizza oven is in the middle of the restaurant- that added a nice little touch to the atmosphere. The menu is carefully curated with flavors for each season. Tonight, they just began to transition to their fall menu with warmer flavors and away from the brighter summery menu. Everything listed sounded delicious, it was difficult to pick out what to order! My husband and I landed on sharing a braised lamb pasta and mortadella pistachio pizza. Both EXCELLENT! Paired well with wine too! This is our second time here and both experiences have been top notch. Attentive service, friendly- a great spot for date night! Excited to come back again in the future.
After months of trying, I finally landed a reservation at Noto in St. Peters -- and yes, it's absolutely worth the wait. Noto is one of fewer than 1,000 pizzerias in the world certified by the Associazione Verace Pizza Napoletana, which means they're doing authentic Neapolitan pizza exactly as it should be done. We're talking imported Italian flour, San Marzano tomatoes, fresh house-made mozzarella, and a 900° wood-fired oven brought in from Italy. The crust? Soft, chewy, and perfectly blistered with that signature leopard spotting. I ordered the sausage pizza -- rich, savory, and just a touch spicy -- and started with the roasted carrots topped with shredded cheese and nuts. Those carrots alone could convert any veggie skeptic. I also tried a couple of their craft cocktails, and they were fresh, balanced, and dangerously easy to sip. The vibe is warm and lively, with the smell of dough in the air and that gorgeous tiled oven right in view. Service was welcoming and knowledgeable without being rushed, and the pacing of the meal was spot-on. If you love pizza, this is bucket list-worthy. Book early -- once you taste it, you'll understand why reservations are so hard to get. Follow me here and on Facebook, Instagram, and GoogleMaps for more STL food finds, hidden gems, and travel-worthy eats.
One of our favorite restaurant's in the area.Was fortunate enough to make it for the new menu and everything was fantastic! Arancini and the Noto salad are must's for the starters. The crab pasta was my wife's choice and she devoured it. The steak was also a winner. And we always finish our meal with an affogato. Best I have ever had!
Some of the best Italian food in the area. Grab a reservation and go try it now. They have a few seats at the bar for walk ins. The pizza program is top notch. My favorite are rustic pasta dishes they offer. The drink program is on point too. The servers are very helpful and knowledgeable about the menu. Plus it's the best tiramisu ever.
Had a pretty good meal here for my wife's 50th birthday. My only knocks are minute. They asked if we were there for a special occasion and I told them it was my wife's 50th. That was never acknowledged nor was a free dessert or after dinner drink offered. That is totally fine, but it would have really bumped my opinion of the place for sure. Don't even ask if you're not going to follow up. When our allotted time was up the server rushed us out the door, which was more than a little off putting to me, though I get why. Our reservation was at 4 when the restaurant opens. At opening, the servers are seated at every table in their section and start the night off "in the weeds." We had to wait a not insubstantial amount of time for our drinks and order to be taken, etc. through no real fault of the server. The service was otherwise fine. The restaurant is small, like small small. Think your grandma's house in South City small, with a big wood fired pizza oven as the centerpiece. It's a pretty cool oven. While I wasn't blown away by the food, it was good. My pasta dish wasn't what I was expecting it to be, so maybe that turned me off a little bit. The Gnudi was balls of pasta and that threw me off when it was dropped off. It was pretty good, but every other pasta dish we had at the table was better. Arancini was good with a good sauce. I liked the bread with dipping oil and we were brought a second helping after asking. The salad I had was probably the best thing to me that night. It was very good and was a generous helping. I paid extra for a couple of pieces of anchovy on the salad, whic was probably not worth it though it was only $2. The pizza we shared for an appetizer was good, but not spectacular. It maybe could have used another 30 seconds in the oven as the crust was rather flaccid to me. The pizza was not better than Pizzeria de Gloria on the Hill, if that's a comparison. Both are good and I see the potential with NOTO pizza, but maybe this one pizza was a little off on this night. Drinks looked really cool, though I'm a beer guy and that selection is weak. Drinks and food were reasonably priced for what the place is I thought, and if we lived closer we'd definitely go again.

Was very excited to get a Friday night reservation here! Reservations are a must! They may be able to accommodate walk ins or some bar service but make a reservation! Cutely designed like a pizza place in Italy, their simple menu is appreciated. Had the Aranchini. Served with a sauce with a kick it was a little bland but the idea is to mix it with the sauce to balance flavors. Still delightful. Pizzas were cooked as a Neapolitan pizza should! Slight char and flavor is good. They don't skimp on the toppings! Drinks. Quite an eclectic menu! Flavors that You wouldn't think go together. Snap pea infused vodka? Such a great combo! Plenty of wine by the glass or bottle for the choosing. Desserts as well but get the amaro flight! Great gem in St. Charles! Love the lemon decor. Great spot for any occasion! read more
Been looking to try Noto for a long time and finally got a reservation as they're booked well in advance. Noto is what I call a traditional Italian restaurant where portions are small, freshest ingredients and great service. Located in St. Peter's, MO, Noto is the restaurant where an intimate dining experience compliments great food. Again, reservations are highly recommended. During our visit some customers were informed bar service was available, but walk in seating may not be available unless arriving at opening. Noto will contact you the day before to confirm your reservation. After our review of the menu we decided to get appetizers, salads and a main course. We did order a speciality drink and both were great pours and refreshing. Noto is know for its pizza and provides a diverse menu of pizzas and can accommodate any pallet. Pasta and entrees are limited but pizza is where it's at. I do recommend the Noto house salad, incredible ingredients and dressing will almost make you order another one! Service was excellent and allowed us privacy to enjoy our experience. Prices were reasonable but the experience makes up for it. Noto is a great restaurant and will be back. read more
This is my favorite place for an early Friday night dinner. Get there at 4 when they open so you can grab a seat at the bar (or make a reservation, but prepared to make it in advance). The bartender is friendly and will be happy to tell you about the specials. Relax, treat yourself, get a salad, they'll bring you some focaccia with it. Have a pizza or some pasta. Everything here is delicious! read more
Came here on a weekend for a double date night. Our server got so excited to tell us about how much work the restaurant has done to achieve the VPN recognition, that we knew we had to get pizza. We got 2 pizzas for 4 people and 2 appetizers. Appetizers we tried were the carrots & the Arancini, the carrots were good, but I was inspired to try making something similar at home. The Arancini, very good, cheesy and delightful. For pizza we got the Fungo & Mortadella. They ask you if you want your pizza sliced or not sliced, I can save you from asking, if you'd like. There are reasons why they don't slice a pizza, but it comes down to, in Italy you eat pizza with a fork and a knife, so if you order a pizza unsliced, it is assumed you are digging in as such. We did get the Fungo sliced, since we were splitting it amongst all of us. The Mortadella did not come sliced, this is why, there is a lump (?) of Burrata in the middle, meant to spread out among the pie. This was delicious, I do love Burrata, what wasn't my favorite thing ever, the cold Burrata made the warm pizza cold. Since we are in S. city, I don't know if we will be in the "neighborhood" but if we are, I would totally go back. read more
I really wanted to love this place. I've seen it all over social media and was drawn in by the vibe--it's a beautifully designed space with a great concept and a focus on fresh ingredients, which I appreciate. That said, the food just didn't quite land for me. It probably didn't help that I had Napoli Bros pizza last week, so that was fresh in my mind for comparison. We ordered the Salsiccia pizza, and while I was excited to try it, the flavor was underwhelming and the dough was a bit too chewy for my liking. We also tried the tuna crudo appetizer special. It was light and minimalistic, but unfortunately, some pieces of the tuna tasted a little too fishy. We shared the lamb pasta next. While my boyfriend and I usually differ on our preferences for salt, we both found this dish to be overly salty. I do love that they make their pasta in-house--that's a huge plus--but maybe we just picked the wrong one this time. The focaccia had good flavor, but like the pizza, it was a bit chewy. I feel like it would've been better served warm. One dish I did really enjoy was the Noto salad--it was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully balanced. I do wish there was an option to add a protein to the salad, though. For someone like me who loves salads and tries to limit heavy carbs, there weren't many well-rounded meal options available. Service-wise, we had a good experience. Our waitress was friendly and attentive throughout the meal. One small thing that felt a bit odd: between every dish, they brought us new silverware and napkins, even though we already had clean extras on the table. I also think sometimes when a place is constantly booked out or all over social media, the hype builds up to a level that's hard to meet--and in this case, it just didn't quite live up to the buzz. That said, I may give it another shot in the future--now I know to check their ever-changing seasonal menus before I go. read more

Noto is so freaking good. The prices are reasonable for a nicer dinner. It's super cute too. Our server was knowledgeable and gave us good recommendations. I will be thinking of the broccoli dish forever. The Noto salad was simple, but delicious. I got the kale pesto pasta and my boyfriend got the Scarpa (add spicy sausage). Loved the noodle shape of the pasta; the pesto was earthy so just something to note. Already planning to go again soon!!! read more
Intimate, romantic spot with classic cocktails and modern Italian charm. I wouldn't go there without a reservation though because it's unlikely you will get in. It was packed even at 8 PM on a Wednesday night. Sometimes you can roll the dice and get there early enough and find a spot to sit at the bar. Bartender/barista "Ironman" Dylan will take good care of you. Service was top-notch! I love the crystal glassware. It really lends a beautiful and elegant touch to the atmosphere. There is a decent cocktail menu and they will make you pretty much anything you want. There is a nice wine list that you can order by the glass or by the bottle. The menu is seasonal. We began with the Patata appetizer which featured crispy potatoes with a cream sauce and a flavorful bite of Giardiniera. It was the perfect size for two to share. I enjoyed the Delicata squash Neapolitan pizza. I really liked the sweetness from the sorghum. It is a large serving and I was only able to eat half. They have a dessert menu with the typical Italian offerings of cannoli, Panna cotta, etc. I love this place and I will definitely be back. read more
Some of the best Italian food in the area. I love Italian, NY, and Chicago pizza. I am not at all a fan of St Louis style pizza. Noto's pizza is wonderful authentic Neapolitan pizza. Their pasta dishes are also wonderful. Servers are friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable of the details of their menu and specials. A classy destination perfect for date night. read more
Amaaaaazing! The service was spot on, the cocktails were fantastic, and all the food I tried (and there was a LOT!) was absolutely delicious! The ambiance was nice, though a bit loud. It's not a cheap place, but worth the $. read more

The restaurant hums with the sound of happy chatter of families leaning in over shared plates, couples clinking glasses, and the sounds of friends laughing between bites just like the kitchens of Naples. The brown rustic floors and lush greenery bring a touch of the countryside indoors while the warm glow of the lights softens the romantic space. At the heart of it all, a mosaic tiled white oven radiates both heat and the aromas drifting out mixing with the lively atmosphere. The confident staff making you feel welcomed and eager to make your experience truly one of a kind! The Noto Gem Salad was everything a salad should be -- light, fresh, and crisp. What set this one apart was the umami punch from the fresh Parmesan, shaved so finely it fell across the lettuce like snow. The leaves, just barely kissed with a tangy Italian dressing carried a balance that lingered with me for days after. The Neapolitan Margarita Pizza was a masterclass in simplicity. It's crust, airy and blistered with those signature cheetah spots. A vibrant San Marzano tomato sauce spread across the base brought a sweet, sun-ripened brightness, balanced by the creaminess of the fresh mozzarella and the fragrance of basil. With only a handful of ingredients, many imported directly from Italy, the pizza became a beautiful example of expert technique, proving that when done right, less truly is more. read more
We had such a great experience. Our server was London and she was so knowledgeable and helpful. She gave great recommendations and knew her stuff! The restaurant itself is so cute and intimate. We tried multiple drinks, an appetizer, pizza, pasta, and dessert. The pasta was pretty fishy but tasty. The tomatoes on the pizza were so flavorful, I wish there were more. The appetizer was so great! I'd definitely get again. The dessert was wonderful! We loved our experience! read more

Very warm and inviting atmosphere. Our waitress Jen was polite, engaging and checked back often. The Bibb salad greens were fresh and the blueberry vinaigrette dressing was delicious. The home made angel hair pasta was fabulous topped with blue crab sauce. We had one MARGHERITA and one BUFALINA pizza. For dessert, we had the banana gelato topped with caramel and truffles and got a couple of cannoli to take home. The cappuccino was steaming hot and delicious. Dinner for two, including one speciality bar drink and the tip was $160. read more

I decided to try Noto because I saw it made the list of top pizza places in the Midwest and was rated pretty high. Definitely be sure to make a reservation in advance if you want to guarantee a spot because they book out for the night pretty quickly. We first went downstairs to the cocktail bar and had a couple appetizers and drinks while we waited to be seated. The downstairs cocktail bar has a different menu of appetizers and drinks from the upstairs offerings so would recommend checking that out. The eggplant and meatball apps we ordered were delicious and our Spritz drinks were refreshing and perfect for summer time. They also let you bring your cocktails back upstairs when you get seated. Once we got seated upstairs we ordered the Nduja Rigatoni Cremosa which was absolutely delicious. We also got the Nduja Pizza and the Scarpa Pizza. Each dish tasted so fresh and you can tell that they use good ingredients. The pizza dough was perfectly cooked and so so soft. We ate every single bite. To finish up the meal, we ordered Tiramisu and it was presented well in a glass bowl. Overall, the meal was lovely and I look forward to coming back to try more of their pizzas and drinks. read more

Service 5/5 Pizza 7/5 Pasta 3.5/5 Ambience 5/5 Noto is a small Napoleon restaurant at St Peters. Reserving a table is a bit challenging, so advanced arrangement is highly recommended. Service is so attentive. Parking is plentiful. What we enjoy at Noto? 1) the calamari fritti is phenomenal. It was seasoned so well with fried onions on top. It's my favorite calamari for a very long time. 2) Nduja has distinctly wonderful flavors and perfect crust. I felt like transported back to Italy. Bravo!! 3) The lamb ragu pasta is lacking some seasonings, though we enjoyed the hand rolled fresh pasta. read more
