Red Gravy offers upscale casual modern Italian fare.Chef/Owner Eric Brenner spent his first decade in the industry inside Italian kitchens. Talking up St. Louis' wide-ranging Italian eatery scene, which gets as specific as regional specialties, he says he's wanted to have a place like this since he was 18."We're going to start very simple and accessible," he says, "we'll play to the crowd and start a dialogue, then grow the menu with community input.""Simple," includes dishes like his tomato bisque, with which only has five ingredients. "It's all about the perfect balance. And that gets back to the essence of good Italian food: quality ingredients, very few, in perfect balance." Other examples include his St. Louis-style, thin-crust pizza, best compared to a flat-bread.

This was our first time at Mackenzie's but we will certainly be back. We were sat near the fire place in a quiet area. Our server Brandon was very helpful and attentive. The drinks were fantastic and my partner and I shared a porterhouse cut; also amazing. Dessert didn't disappoint either. We highly recommend and can't wait to dine again.

We were seated immediately, our waiter was amazing as he went over the remarkable menu, told us his favorites and also made great recommendations. The service was perfectly timed, The drinks were fabulous, the Arancini and Fried Calamari were outstanding with incredible sauces for both. The Shrimp Fra Diaviola was delicious, so was the Chicken Picatta and the Tonios Rigatoni. They also provide salads so 2 Traditional & 2 Caesar were both excellent. The Dessert menu was awesome but we were so full we couldn’t order one. Can’t wait to return to try more on the menu!

Maybe my favorite burger in town now. Lots of drink options, and the truffle fries are great. Our waitress was also friendly and patient.
