“Good service, we had a large group and they really took care of us. Big menu. Huge portions – if you get a pasta you can easily share it with someone which makes it a better value. Pizza is really good as well.”
Nicholas

“Thank you for an amazing exceptional dining experience for our company holiday outing. Everything was great, Jeff is a great server, and the host apologized for a 30 minute way beyond our reservation time, in a way unexpected. Everything was great, loved the food, and I can’t wait to come back next time.”

“My first visit here was for a work holiday lunch. Very clean and upscale place with fast and friendly servers. Lots of lunch options, including soups, salads, pasta, and sandwiches. Little on the pricey side, but would be a great choice for a birthday or anniversary celebration.”

“Had lunch here with my mom and my son.”
“Had lunch here with my mom and my son. Waitress was awesome. The toasted ravioli was amazing. My mom loved her steak. My son said his burger was top notch. Great place to visit, a little nicer than we anticipated.”
Karl
“Upon her recommendation, I had the Angel Hair Roseanne, which was delicious.”
“Enjoyed an excellent evening supper with nine other family members, some of us just in town for a wedding. Tho there was a line of folks waiting to get in, we had no problem since we had made reservations.
The food came at a reasonable time despite a full restaurant. The waitress was very helpful with her suggestions. Upon her recommendation, I had the Angel Hair Roseanne, which was delicious. I think everyone else was satisfied with their meal. Of course, we also started with fried ravioli, which was as good as one would expect.
As an Alaskan, I was disappointed that they served farmed salmon and not wild-caught salmon, which is what everyone should eat in order to preserve the health and integrity of wild salmon worldwide.”

“Chance was our waiter and was very kind and attentive.”
“My wife and I were celebrating two new jobs and I decided to use Google Maps to make reservations for what we expected to be a great dinner. We were not disappointed. Chance was our waiter and was very kind and attentive.
The vibe in the restaurant was hopping, it was a little louder than I anticipated but it wasn’t bad. My wife ordered the crab stuffed shrimp and I opted for the chicken ferry. Both meals were delicious. She ordered the crème brûlée for dessert and loved it! I hadn’t been here in decades and look forward to our next trip.”

“The ambiance is dark and warm.”
“Had a very nice evening at Bartolino’s in St. Louis! This place has a wonderful Italian charm with a great selection of wines to choose from. The setup is cool, there’s a full bar on one side and a cozy dining area on the other. The ambiance is dark and warm, with wine bottles beautifully decorating the center of the dining room.
We kicked off with the stuffed mushrooms and Bartolino salad, both were delicious! I also tried Michael’s smoked Manhattan; it was good, but didn’t quite hit the mark for me.
The service was good and friendly, adding to the pleasant experience. A heads-up: parking is pretty tight, so be prepared. They also offer patio dining, but the view of the parking lot isn’t the most inviting.
All in all, Bartolino’s is a lovely spot for a cozy Italian meal with a fabulous wine selection. Can’t wait to visit again!”
