Apparently they were running low on their frozen bread. Arrived in time for our reservation 4:15. In a half empty restaurant, we were probably sat at the worst table in the house, a four top on a support pole. While waiting for our salads, watched a bus boy deliver bread to several tables, with their menus still in hand, and who had arrived after us. Watching the restaurant fill up, we asked for some bread after the salads arrived, and continued to wait. When it came we were told it need to be microwaved as it was still frozen. We heard that information relayed to several tables as we ate, with many people not getting any. We thought, advertising bread was frozen not fresh was not the best move for an Italian restaurant, but not my business. It was Saturday at 4:30, and no fresh bread to go with your meal. It was going good to be a long night. Food was good, but it was a wait.

Had not been here in a long time. One of the few places on The Hill open on Monday. Food exceeded expectations! (Roasted veggie lasagna) Atmosphere same as it ever was. Pasta comparably priced to other restaurants ($20), but generous serving size and includes side salad, so good value.

Lots of options for everyone! I got a gluten free version of Rigazzi's baked Mostaccioli, and loved it. There's also GF pizza that I'll order next time. My husband and son had the chicken parm, and a huge meatball sandwich. Leftover heaven; we all got take-out containers to bring it home for another round. Price was reasonable, service was very good, especially given it was crowded. They could do better with wine by the glass. I'd like to see a Lambrusco and a good cab or zin by the glass. We'll definitely be back!

Wow. Every time I return I'm more impressed with the delicious food and exceptional value. Had a party of 12 and service was excellent. Owners are on the ball improving the traditional and adding new items. Definitely support these folks.

I was warned, by several other diners. Yet, we proceeded with our reservation. This was hands-down the worst dining experience we’ve had. Not a single item that came to our table was poured, delivered or cooked properly — to the point I sent my dinner back because it was covered in raw egg white. Manager came to tell me how carbonara should be served … that wasn’t it, in fact, I pointed out how dangerous that was. As a chef, I would have fully expected that plate of food to be returned to the kitchen. Cocktail - burnt. Calamari - hockey puck. Stuffed artichokes - whatever the polar opposite of hockey puck is. Cavatelli - was fettuccine. Baked ravioli - somewhere between the two latter + add gristle. Out of lasagna. Enjoyed the marinara and my water. For $120. Go to any other restaurant on The Hill. Or anywhere else in STL.
