Bill Gianino's Traditional Italian

I've been eating in this neighborhood restaurant for 30 years and the quality really went down. My NY Strip Steak was a very thick, tender and cooked to perfection. Last night it was thin, hard and boiled over. The pasta side and the salad were delicious, but the steak was terrible. It is also disappointing that several elements I have enjoyed over the years have been removed from the menu and replaced by cheaper things. Sole was replaced by cod. Flash fried spinach gone and replaced by sauce. Chicken Caesar Salad disappeared. White tablecloths are gone. Earlier, you could request special preparations, even if they no longer disappear from the menu. The last time I saw the chicken Spiedini was dry. The last time I found out there was a noticeable difference in the amount of food. The portion size was much smaller than if I were immersed. What's going on? G built no longer exists. The place has become more like a sports bar and less like the fine restaurant it used to be. I visited this place once a month or more. Not anymore. Disappoint.

I love this place every time! I was so excited about the salad and the manicotti that I forgot to take pictures! The salad here NIE disappoints and the Manicotti super delicious! My friend treated me for my birthday and encouraged me to try the artichoke hearts, and they were also delicious! A good meal is here EVERY time and the staff is friendly, and there is a fun atmosphere and fun crowd. Definitely recommend!

My daughter, son, son-in-law, my son's partner came here for the 70th birthday. I enjoyed my family first, my wonderful gifts. The food was delicious and I had for the first time a chocolate martini that was very good. I was brought cheesecake that took the night. Especially with my family and all the wonderful gifts? I wouldn't have asked for a better birthday. Yes!

If you are looking for a nice place to have a good meal with great service, give them an attempt. The best roasted raven in St. Louis. Pastas are huge and delicious. There are many good places to eat, but you will go far to find a better staff from the back to the front. Try it, you will not be disappointed. Oh, yeah, come hungry. Portions are huge. Just the best restaurant in South County. No competition.

A classy place for sure. The wait staff could not be nicer or more attentive. The warm bread was delicious. The side salad that comes with the meals was a little too drenched in dressing but the other ingredients were great with a good amount of mushrooms. The portion is very generous for a side salad. The salmon with pecans was cooked perfectly and had a nice flavor. The side of spinach and carrots was underwhelming. I would not recommend getting the carrots as a side dish. The caesar salad dressing was very powerful so be aware if you don?t like a strong dressing. The lunch menu prices aren?t bad but the regular menu can get pretty pricey. The overall experience was great and the menu has tons of options to explore.
