Gaetano's Ristorantino Mediterraneo

Me and my wife stumbled upon this place simply because our AirBNB was nearby. We wanted to celebrate a special occasion and decided to try the chef's menu. It was the best dinner we've ever had and we've dined at Michelin star restaurants before. Lovethis place!

Hard to believe I have never been to this Italian gem in Forest Park. The menu includes very unique twists on traditional Italian dishes. Everything was delicious. We started with the tempura fried calamari wrapped asparagus and ended with thetiramisu, with a variety of pasta dishes in between. If special note was the homemade gnocchi, like eating little pillows! Iwill be back!

Eating in gaetano’s is always a joy. the entire staff is welcoming and very professional. eating is excellent. all Italian wine list is short but with interesting choices at affordable prices. I always order a pasta court and I am always amazed. the gnocchi with bark short rib ragu is the ultimate comfort food. the sometimes whimsical take on traditional Italian dishes always satisfying.

Always awesome food. Great variety, interesting preparations. My only improvement would be to re arrange the tables it is a small place and sometimes the tables are a bit squashed in or awkward. But truly a gem.

Tried chef’s tasting menu. Good selection of meats, fishes, pasta, vegetable.
