Fortunately for me I live less than 5 minutes from this great restaurant which has become a favorite for me and my partner. We have been there weekly for 6 weeks now and every time the food has been incredible and the service has been extraordinary--even when we've gone close to closing time. Pros: Great Service, Great Food, Great Atmosphere more

My wife and I visited St. Louis for a spontaneous weekend from Northeast Indiana. We were driving around Lafayette Square and found Ricardo's. It was the best Italian we've ever had... even better than in Boston. The food was great, the prices were affordable, the service was friendly and efficient, and the atmosphere was comfortable and clean. We'll definately stop back again the next time we are in St. Louis. I highly recommend the Toated Ravioli and the Cannelloni. Pros: Great Food, Great Service, Good Location, Cons: Parking is street available only. more

My wife and I were introduced to this restaurant by her brother several years ago. We have since gone back several times over the years and taken our friends as well. The food is always great and friendly service. It is a small place which is a nice change of pace. You can have a conversation without being drowned out by the ajoining tables. Pros: Ambience Cons: Parking, although it's not too bad more

We went here with 2 other couples for a night out. We got there first so sat at the bar inside the entrance. Wasn't sure what kind of wine I wanted. The Owner / bartender said i could sample anything that came by the glass. Of course one of the ones that I was looking at was only sold by the bottle. Then a gentleman at the end of the bar was drinking the wine in question and said that I could have a sample from his bottle. I already loved the place. After that it only got better. The place is decorated with white linens and mural paintings on the walls with candlight on the tables. After we were seated the owner came and checked on us personally. The food was delicious and the service was amazing. We took some friends back there about 1-2 months later and the owner remembered us after just meeting us that first time. Pros: Everything was wonderful - food, ambience, service. Also there is a chocolate bar a couple of doors down if you still have room after dinner. Cons: i can't think of any! more

food is great - service is the greatest I had in a long time - been here a number of times both for lunch and for dinner and it always has the same great food and service. Would highly recommend it for anybody. more
