Service was poor (took forever and served unevenly in our group of six) despite how quiet it was. A second waitress (that punched in half way through our meal) helped by apologizing and hustling to make things right. A very cool space that needs to get its act together. Food was decent. I wish Sainato's well and would try again to see if it was just a "bad day".

Disappointing. My daughter and I order eggplant parmesan. The egg plant was really food;however, the pasta was terrible. It was way over cooked, lack salt and reminded us of canned spaghetti. We will not return nor will we recommen this place.

The pizza was fantastic and so was the antipasto salad. It was nice to sit on the patio and drink a cold beer. Will definitely go back!

We ate here before heading to Playhouse Square for Aladdin. We are supporting the new restaurant partners, the OTooles. The pizza was delicious and the salad very fresh. The location has parking in front for no charge. The service was wonderful and timely!

Went with a group of 12 for my son's birthday celebration, it was great! Staff was attentive and accommodating, food was tasty - however they seemed to struggle with getting it served at the same time...dishes were brought out as they were done, not all together. Overall would recommend this quaint little gem. We will return for sure.

This is really a neighborhood bar and pizza place in the flats. Had never heard of it until I saw the Open Table listing. The pizza and salad were good, and gluten free - a must have for med reasons. A selection of beers on tap. Wine by the glass, but no list to look at. Nice, casual place. We'll be back.

Great neighborhood Italian place. We had pizza, veal parmigiana and salad. We live in St Louis and this is among the best pizza we have ever had. The veal parmigiana is actually homemade and very good especially for the price. Highly recommend
