Bartolino's South - Saint Louis

We had an amazing experience at this restaurant. We were seated promptly and quickly served water. Our server was friendly and the food was excellent. I ordered the special scallops with pasta and would highly recommend it. I would definitely order it again.

I attended a seminar at this restaurant and was very disappointed with the food service. The food was served slowly, including salad, steaks, broccoli, and baked potato. They did not ask how we wanted our steaks cooked and mine was overcooked, losing its taste and becoming chewy. The broccoli was extremely tough and almost impossible to eat. The potato salad was the only decent dish served. The biggest disappointment was the bread. Despite being an Italian restaurant, they served cold sliced bread that looked like it came from a bag. We had to ask for butter as well. I will not be returning as a paying customer, as there are many other delicious Italian restaurants in St. Louis to choose from.

You have to try the cajun salmon pasta and crab cake with deep fried spinach at this restaurant - it's a must!

This was our second visit in recent months, after rediscovering this South County gem. Reservations are suggested and they fill in during the main eating times. We came back especially for the roasted ravioli... so good. It's good enough that we made the ravioli our ducks. Dinner salad for my wife, but I had the Bartolino's special salad and it was special. We finished the meal with a common dessert and dessert cocktail. We will return...

They were able to accommodate a group of 9 on short notice even though it was a very busy Friday night. The food was fantastic and arrived in a timely manner despite the dinner rush. The staff was proffesional and courteous. I would not hesitate to bring guests back here for an upscale meal.
