anthonino's taverna

great casual dining! interesting mix of greek and italian. either way you go, good food.

i ate here tonight w friends -ordered the tutto mare. the dish was primarily a plate of noodles in olive oil with a few morsels of various fish -4 minuscule clams, 2 med to large shrimp, etc. if it had any less fish they could use the statement 'no animals were harmed in the making of this dish'. i hate it when cafes pull that. i sent it back and instead ordered a gyro. it was a bit over salted, but otherwise good. it had a generous amount of meat. the greek dinner salad i had with it was just ok. i will not be back and do not recommend. they have a nice bldg, but i can't eat that. i realize we all like to give favorable reviews, but don't forget your duty is to your readers -not the biz. try a little discernment, geez. are the owners and employees or agents writing these reviews?

phenomenal food and service. the pizza (especially the gyro) and hamburgers are fantastic.

toasted ravioli was excellent. leigh the server was helpful and very gracious during our lunch visit.

awesome calamari, jumbo toasted ravioli and pizza.

ddd led us here and we're so happy it did! the food was amazing and freshly prepared. the staff was friendly and upbeat. anthonino's will be a must visit on every st. louis trip!

time was when it was italian or nothing on the hill when the hungries hit, but times change, and the cuisine of other nations that border on the mediterranean sea now are moving into the neighborhood and finding a fertile ground. modesto was first, lookin

swing and a miss. after a good start with the local schlafly seasonal brew and the signature toasted ravioli appetizer, things went sideways. after some time, the waitress came out to declare the kitchen had decided my wife's chicken spedini, highly recommended by the waitress, was too small so they started over. when it arrived, my wife cut in to it to find it to be undercooked. when it returned, it was cooked and the flavor was good. the opportunity for a good first impression had passed. my pasta carbonara was good with salty pancetta and creamy sauce, a little cold, though.

we'd try it again because it seemed promising. it was certainly popular.

nice experience. i had a trio of appetizers: baked feta with marinara, spanikopita, and brushetta. would not recommend the brushetta. the spanikopita was very large and tasty, but the pastry was not as flaky as it should have been. the baked feta appetizer was outstanding! i highly recommend it and will try to recreate it at home. my friend had the speidini. he really enjoyed it. i tasted it, and thought it was good, but not something i would order in the future. overall, a nice experience. the pizza looked outstanding, and a lot of people were ordering it. it might be the thing to order here -- too bad i am a diabetic.

not a good one. my husband , daughter and i went for a drive to st. louis and had planned on anthonino's to eat dinner. we are making rounds and researching it looked as if they had a mix of reviews, we would try it anyways. definately a disappointment. 2 of us got the chicken parm w/ side of pasta w/ alfredo. the chicken had breading , no seasonings, and scant sauce on it. the chicken itself seemed very fresh, but had no flavor.we asked the waitress for more red sauce. she gave us 2 tiny plastic containers and charged us for them. the alfredo sauce that evening was nothing more than a little milk with the consistency of cream. way to watery. and again , no salt, pepper, no spice, no garlic, no flavoring was tasted at all. we also ordered a steak dinner w/ side of pasta. medium rare was done right on some parts, the outer edges, inside was completely raw. and the sauce on pasta was very unspiced, unflavorable. i don't pretend to be a critic. i did go to culinary school while i was in hs. i enjoy cooking and do cook daily. my husbands mother's side are all italian. growing up she taught both he and i ,loads of italian dishes and most importantly, sauce making. we come from pa. where old forge , pa. has some of the nations best pizzaria's and italian rests. i am very proud of that history.maybe they were having a bad night @ anthonino's that evening. my guess is once your disappointed , that will be the rule. i don't know because i do not go back and spend money where i feel i did not get the service i paid for. i hope that the owners read this and oversee the staff w/ cooking. it seemed that evening was busy w/ no one in charge. were they on vacation?? the prices were reasonable. need to fix that chef. needs to be consistent. sorry anthonino's. not a good pick for us. the waitress did speak w/ someone and they took the charge off for the 2 ounces of sauce. that was nice of them. ;)

some of the best pizza i have ever had. ravioli was awesome as well. big thumbs up!

had the tutti mare pasta and it was fantastic. the pesto tasted incredible. the food is reasonably priced as well as the beer

the toasted ravioli were filled (about half way, a bit skimpy) with both meat and cheese, unusual for sure, but very good. most are just meat, but the ricotta definitely added a dimension that i really liked. the other people i was with moderately enjoyed their meals, but nothing was really great. a solid enough effort, but the fact that it's on the hill with some real powerhouse italian restaurants, it's not one of my top choices.

overall a good experience. the hostess was rude, however our server was extremely efficient. we experienced a minimal wait time, i think we got there right before the saturday evening rush. greek salad and pasta were very tasty, but the lemon-drop i ordered was not made very well. the menu has a diverse price range, you can come here and order a $10 entree or a $30 entree. i like that they have something for everyone.

we ate lunch at anthonino's taverna this weekend. we really enjoyed our meal. their bolognese sauce is really good. we hope to visit them again.
