Perhaps I was nostalgic for the past. I used to sing praises of Cunettos- Cozy italian restaurant, a Hill neighborhood classic donning it's holiday decor. Seeing as we hadn't been since pre-covid times, it was time to revisit an old Christmas time classic. We were in a line of probably 30 ppl waiting for the doors to open on a blustery 20* Saturday evening. So get there early or plan for a wait (no reservations) Being a while since we last visited, the menu has since changed, there are fewer options. As luck would have it, the menu item I liked is no longer. Our pastas were mid at best. Both of the options we chose were bland and soupy. The food did come out in a timely fashion though. To note, half of the restaurant capacity is blocked off, which is something to keep in mind if you're hoping to visit during a peak time. The service was slow due to the fact that there's 3 maybe 4 servers and two bussers running the whole restaurant and hosting large parties. You could tell they were trying hard but seemed understaffed. This experience felt a bit like a cafeteria on a downward slide. The icing on the cake was going to refill my kids water cup and finding a bug in it... The likelihood of us revisiting this is slim to none.

Omggg pasta and service was amazing owner came out talked to us and other tables making sure we were enjoying everything. The food, amazing! My husband and I wanted to try a different Italian spot on the Hill, not disappointed at all, wish we knew about them sooner! His Chicken Parmesiano was tender and perfectly made my Seafood pasta ,even after I had them make the broth that it comes with a creamy garlic sauce instead .OMG. top tier and soo much I was eating for 3 days! We will be back asap! Will bring the family next time! 🍝 🍷

So good! The trouble with this place is deciding what to order, so many selections and everything looks so good on the menu. Service from the hostess desk to the waitresses to the busboy was excellent. My creamy buttery garlicky shells (I can't remember the name of the dish!) was fantastic and even better the next day since I had so much left over because it was huge. I'm currently living in Arizona and we have nothing like The Hill and authentic Italian food such as you would find on The Hill. I guess I'll have to wait till I come back!

Amazing food and service!! We were in from PA, and the security gaurd (aka Plumber Bill) at our hotel in downtown St.Louis highly recommended this place as a must!!! We were stuffed from the big portions.

I will start by saying WOW! I have now found my new favorite Italian restaurant. Not only is the food outstanding and loaded with flavor but the helpings are huge. Service was excellent and they brought out warm bread too. They opened at 4 pm and there was already a long line. Every single person in our party was completely satisfied with their meal. The Minestrone soup may be quite possibly the best I have ever eaten. The key to the meals here are the perfect combination and balance of flavors. They have perfected the Italian meal over here in the USA. Next time I am in St. Louis I will be visiting this restaurant again! YUM!
