Lombardo's Trattoria - Saint Louis

The food was delicious, but the only drawback was the long wait for it to be served.

The food was outstanding, the service was fantastic, and the ambiance was incredible. I just wish it were more conveniently located!

While I believe the food was good, I think it was a bit overhyped. Nonetheless, I will definitely return.

The Moscow Mule was expertly made, and the roasted ravioli was the best I've ever tasted. The only reason I’m giving a 4-star rating instead of 5 is that they don't offer a side of marinara sauce. It was surprising to find no lasagna or any pasta dishes with marinara at an Italian restaurant. Other than that, the atmosphere, service, and food were fantastic!

Everything was quite good, but nothing really stood out as exceptional. I started with the portobello mushrooms marinated in balsamic, which were delicious, served on a bed of very salty steamed spinach. For the main course, I had the pasta which was a home-style Italian dish—nothing fancy, just classic comfort food. Finally, I tried the mile-high chocolate cake, which was definitely rich and indulgent. The service felt a bit distracted, but the staff remained polite. The restaurant was clean, although the menus had some food residue on them. Overall, considering the price, I wasn't overly impressed, but I wasn't disappointed either.
