*2024 WINE SPECTATOR BEST OF AWARD OF EXCELLENCE*

Renown Italian restaurateur Mario Laccarino is pleased to invite guests for a taste of the Sorrento Coast at Casa Don Alfonso. Open for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and Sunday brunch, the menu tells the story of traditions passed down for generations in the family homes of southern Italy. These recipes come from a magical place, ripe with the culture and beauty of the Mediterranean. Alongside an unmistakable commitment to hospitality and service, Casa Don Alfonso brings hand-crafted flavors and carefully chosen ingredients with every bite.

Family of Iaccarino honors the culinary heritage of the Campania region, with seasonal ingredients that closely resemble the sun-kissed produce harvested at the Iaccarino family’s farm. Fresh, handmade pastas create an edible narrative of the Iaccarino legacy, while whimsical desserts transport guests to Naples’ nostalgic bakeries.

From Sorrento to St. Louis, we look forward to welcoming you soon.

The brunch buffet is outstanding. The quality of the food and service is incredible. It is expensive, especially for the holiday buffet. But very, very delicious.

Attending the Christmas Day Brunch Buffet was superb! The quantity of food choices was immense and of top-notch gourmet quality! Our server, Paris, was so cordial, attentive, and very professional. The beef, salmon, vegetable dishes, butternut squash bisque, breads, fresh honeycomb honey, and all of the elegantly prepared desserts were breath-taking and so delicious. Thanks for making our culinary experience so special!!!

The Christmas buffet brunch was as spectacular as promised. I enjoyed all of the dishes that I tried, and the cocktail that I ordered was delicious as well. My one quibble with the service was that we didn’t see our waitperson for a spell after we were seated, so it wasn’t initially clear what we should do about beverages. It was a small hiccup in an otherwise smoothly-running operation.

The hostess Josie was nasty. We got there a bit early so I just went up to check in and she started yelling at me after she cut me off and interrupted me. It was really rude. She was certainly not welcoming at all. And she did it in front of other people. It was embarrassing and humiliating. I have started from nothing 3 businesses which I have owned and operated and 2 of those are multi million dollar businesses. So I know a thing or two about operating a business. If she had done that to a client or customer of mine I would have fired her on the spot. We usually come here every year for Christmas but next year we’ll look for someplace else.

It was an overpriced buffet. I liked it better when they had serving stations instead of one buffet line. The seafood was ok, but you should also include sushi. I thought you would get a complimentary glass of bubbles when you sat down. I don’t mind paying for the bubbles, but it took forever to get service-and we were the first seating at 11:00. This place can do much better, because it has done much better.

We experienced some serious Christmas magic at Casa Don Alfonso St. Louis at the The Ritz-Carlton, St. Louis! The food was incredible, the drinks were fabulous, and the highlight? A cocktail Christmas tree adorned with four unique cocktails—absolute perfection! While all of those things were amazing, the service wasn’t up to par. Our plates weren’t being cleared, we didn’t have water, and we wanted to order drinks other drinks but never could because our server was never around. This is the second time I’ve had a poor service experience here. We did appreciate that the manager offered us a round of drinks for apologize but that didn’t really make up for basically being ignored for almost three hours (we were partly there that long because we couldn’t get the check).

Our server Jon Paul, was VERY POOR! Three (3) times we had to ask other servers (also the host) to contact him. VERY surprised of the poor level of service.
