- KKristineSt. Louis •5 reviews5.0Dined 1 day agoEverything was great. Noise is high when sitting next to two other tables with two people each. You can't have conversation because you only hear their conversations going on. Other then that, it was a great experience. Just not able to have our own conversations due to being so close and others listening or being over powered with conversations a foot next to us.More infoDominic's on the HillPrice: Expensive• Italian• The Hill•4.8
- JJeffLos Angeles •9 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoThis is the second time I have been to Lorenzo’s. It did not disappoint. I brought my partner and a friend. My partner has never been to St Louis before and I wanted her to experience the food in The Hlll. She loved it. The waiter was courteous and attentive, the restaurant I would t say is loud but there definitely is a good buzz of people talking and enjoying each other’s company. I will definitely recommend and hopefully come back in the future on trips to St Louis.More infoLorenzo's TrattoriaPrice: Moderate• Italian• The Hill•4.8
- DDonnaSt. Louis •3 reviews4.0Dined 2 days agoWe had eaten here before many years ago. Homey, "Hill" atmosphere. Our waiter was awesome, and our drinks were always full. One person at our table had a hamburger - said it was really great. Two of us had Tortello and Tortellini, both very flavorful and well prepared. One had spaghetti and meatballs - which was gigantic and could have easily been shared. Also good. The only comment we'd make to management is to warm the bread. Seems to be a common comment...so there's that. Take a trip to Rigazzi's...you won't be sorry!More infoRigazzisPrice: Moderate• Italian• The Hill•4
- MMcKennaSouth Carolina •1 review5.0Dined 2 days agoWow, I wish I could give this place 10 stars. My boyfriend and I were visiting St. Louis for the weekend and we were recommended to come here. To say we loved it feels like an understatement. I had asked to be seated in a quieter section and they happily accommodated. The ambience was perfection: jazz and dim lighting…music wasn’t too loud. Our server Zach, gave us great menu recommendations. We ordered the French onion soup to share as our appetizer and it was incredible. We got the chicken dish and braised beef…absolutely phenomenal. For dessert, we had a hard time deciding between the chocolate mousse and the cream puffs. The kitchen gifted us the cream puffs (absolute angels). Also, the espresso martini was the best I’ve ever had. Overall, 11/10 experience. I’ll be dreaming of the desert for a while. Thank you to the kind hostess and server and staff who all made us feel so special and taken care of!More infoBrasserie by NichePrice: Moderate• French• St. Louis•4.8
- RRonaldSt. Louis •29 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoThis was Valetine's Day and they were well prepped to service a largenumber of people. We made a reservation well in advance and asked to be seated in the "rear area" separated from the bar area -- which is usually quieter. We eat there about 2-3 times each year, for apecial occasions like a birthday, anniversary, etc. The food is always excellent They had their full menu available on Valentines Day, with a couple of special items added. Our waiter was very attentive without hovering -and was very friendly. We went with the 4-course tasting menu. We highly recommend the beet salad and the egg raviolo for the first two courses. The homemade pastas are also great. With one quartino of white wine and iced tea, our total for the evening was about $215 a couple of "upgrades" in the tasting menu and including tip. It's a bit of a pricy place, but well worth it for a treat!More infoAceroPrice: Expensive• Italian• Maplewood•4.9
