*2024 WINE SPECTATOR BEST OF AWARD OF EXCELLENCE*

Renown Italian restaurateur Mario Iaccarino 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.

    Food was very good, and it came out warm so or they do a good job keeping things warm or they had just cooked it. Service didn’t start great, but I also acknowledge it was Valentine’s Day. To be fair our server did tried to make it up to us which I appreciated. At the end we had a fun time, just kind of a cluster since it was 2/14 (like everywhere else).

    Lovely setting. Have been several times. Restaurant was a little overbooked/overwhelmed on Valentines Day. 715 seating was seated at 750. Food was delicious but several dishes were lukewarm. Never received an amuse bouche. Wait staff was professional and friendly. Food quality was high but just a little cold. Will definitely return but not on a “high holiday”. 6 out of 10.

    I never thought I would pay $500 for a meal and have to go to the bar to refill my own water. We were seated an hour past our reservation, food was sub par and our “wine pairing” wasn’t paired to the food and wasn’t even poured until after the courses were served. Overall I don’t think I've ever been this disappointed by a dining experience.

    Valentine’s Day experience meal was not great. Server was good. Food overall was awful. No flavor and most of our food was served cold. We were still eating our 2nd course when they delivered the third course and the food tasted as if it been sitting for several minutes. Clearly they were trying to rush people out so they could seat the next groups. It wasn’t because we were slow it was due the first few courses took a long time To come out. At 150 per person, I would have expected a higher quality in food and service.

    I went here for lunch. The menu was limited. My wife loved the braised beef ravioli. I had the pizza but the crust wasn’t cooked well enough and was floppy. The atmosphere is awesome and my server did a decent job. However, the table next to me had a problem with their pasta. The head chef came out and apologized and remade the dish for him.
