The bread was freshly baked (daily, I'm told), the meat was tender and delicious, all of the ingredients were fresh and the portions were extremely generous. Left me very satisfied. Can't wait to bring my wife down here to try as I know she would love it! Also, the proprietor was extremely welcoming and friendly. Always a good sign.

Zito's Deli was so good! The menu made it hard to decide because there were so many great dishes I…read morewanted to try. I ended up with the gyro deluxe, and it was hefty and packed. For $12.99, that's an amazing price for such a big sandwich. My friends got the doner combo, and both were fantastic. The real highlight was the family that runs it. They're truly such sweet people, and every time they checked on us it felt genuine and made our visit so welcoming. The owner even noticed we were a bit torn on what to order and pointed us toward some great options. Can't wait to come back and work my way through the rest of the menu!

I could muster an unoriginal joke regarding the how big of a mouth you need for a big mouth…read moresandwich. Consider yourself spared. I shall jump straight to the good stuff: the sandwiches. Listen, st louis has no shortage of sandwich shops, so to be successful you need to offer a unique enough product that is still approachable, and reliable. Big mouth has mastered the game. The menu is inundated with options inspired by tried and true classics. However, they do not stop there. Each sandwich is inventive enough to create some separation from it's origin. This keeps the experimenters happy, while also catering to the more tame of tastebuds. I went prosciutto. It was incredible. Thin pear, whipped ricotta, pesto, and that salty, thin prosciutto. Every bite gave me a little something different. Some bite had a big crunch full of juicy pear accentuated by the tang of balsamic. Others had a bit of sweetness from the sugars released in the pear juice and caught by the vibrant pesto. Some bite were buttery, with the help of the prosciutto sliced thin enough to read all of the perennial accolades adorning the back wall. The focaccia is art. A dark crust, one you do not see on focaccia. With mega flakes of sea salt. It was fresh out the toaster so as i gripped my sandwich warmth was sent from the tips of my fingers throughout my body as every bite delivered a crunch i am certain the folks dining outside could hear. A legit option in a city with limitless options when it comes to meat between bread

The sandwich was incredible in every way from the super piled on ingredients to the fluffy crisp bread. It's all tucked inside of a loft apartment building so the view of this place is sort of hidden. (In a good way.) Sort of feels like you've jumped from south city into a private beer club with great sandwiches. The outside seating is nice too. Would be a great place to bring some upper scale friends. Nothing here is cheap, so please don't come if you're expecting cheap! I highly recommend it.

First of all, I knew I was doing well because of the traffic coming in and out while I waited (ever so briefly) for a table. I wanted that delicious St. Louis style pizza, and Liliana's delivered on my expectations. The cheese was perfect, the toppings exactly as I would hope, and it did not hurt that I had some leftovers. I also ordered a Caesar salad and a House red. So many places under-deliver on Caesar salads these days that I tend to be cautious when ordering. This one was delicious. It hit all the high notes. As for the ambiance, the dining room could've walked right out of the 70s, plopped itself down in 2026, and manage not to look out of place. Service was spot-on, the food did not take too long, and I thoroughly enjoyed my evening. Next trip tom St. Louis, I'm stopping here again!

It was everything I wanted it to be: warm, flavorful chicken, garlicky, and cheesy with some fresh veg. It came with a side of chips, so I put a few on the panini for a nice crunch. I was a little overwhelmed walking in to the small-ish space, full of people and music (great music!). I saw a sign that said to take a seat, so I did and a nice gentleman brought me water. There was a menu on the table, but after a bit, I questioned if I should order at the counter. Not the case, they will take your order table-side, have you pay, and bring you the food. It was nice. Everyone was friendly. Comfy plush seating. Looking at past photos, I noticed they ditched those awful metal chairs and had a little make over. I loved the new look.

That said, no one had anything negative to say about the food itself, and overall it was still a positive dining experience.

We chose Salt + Smoke because it was nearby and usually BBQ is pretty doable for her. When we got to our table, we were both amazed that Salt + Smoke has a FULL allergen-friendly menu, not only gluten like many places will have nowadays. And our server was super patient and understanding of our needs as well. GF was able to easily select an entree and sides that she could safely enjoy, including the amazing deviled eggs. When our entrees came out, they were amazing also -- I highly recommend the brisket grilled cheese and the popovers. We both had plenty of leftovers for another meal too. Finally, the space inside the restaurant is really well done: very modern and open, but comfortable as well. We were in there the day that Dolly Parton passed away also and they were playing many of her hits over the sound system, which was a nice gesture.

Anyone that's ever won something in a team setting knows how hard it is for a team to mesh, play together, learn from one another, etc. It's not something that's done over night. It happens in the offseason, during two-a-days, and at 6pm during the evening rush on a Friday night. I'm not saying salt + smoke couldn't win a championship right now. They have the makings of a great team. They just haven't learned to play together. Ribs falling off the bone, that's your quarterback. You want a guy that will take a swing on a deep ball without barbecue sauce. Fatty brisket, that's your left tackle. You expect them to be the saving grace of a meal through consistency and flavor. But don't forget how important coaching is. You can't just have talented players. You need more salt and less smoke. It's called accountability. Now I say this all to say that my 1.5 year old toddler ate more food than she'd eaten the last week. As a dad, if she's happy, I'm happy. So, I'd recommend to any family. But as a yelp elitist, I'd wait a little longer for the team to become championship caliber.
