The best veal parmigiana in town so far. I’ve been traveling to St Louis at least once a month for the past 4-5 months. LoRusso’s reminds me of the local restaurants in my hometown. My Caesar salad was nice and garlicky and well dressed. For my main course I had the veal parmigiana with a side of pasta. Veal was nice and tender, breaded and sauced well and smothered appropriately in cheese. My side of ziti rigati with a tomato cream sauce was delicious, just the right amount of acid from the tomato and smoothness from the cream. The creme brle that I had for dessert was a respectable effort (it could use a touch more vanilla in my opinion). As a solo diner a little later on a Thursday night I never felt rushed and I especially enjoyed swapping restaurant stories with Terri (the owner) and the bartender.
I was so excited to try this restaurant for the first time. Our night began well. Knowing we would have our daughter with us, we got a last minute reservation at 5:30. The owner, knowing we needed a high chair smartly say us in a quiet corner. Our daughter does well in restaurants, but she is still a two year-old. The appetizer and drinks were great. Our entrees arrived in a timely fashion but our daughter’s did not. We told the person who delivered it, not our server, we were missing it. Our daughter was hungry and started to fuss, so my husband took her outside. She was calm when he brought her back. We both managed to finish our meals before the server came and explained hers was delayed because a large party had ordered appetizers. Regardless, chicken fingers should not take 30 minutes. We asked that it be boxed since we were finished. My husband took her to the car while I waited. When I got the check, her food was on it. I hate doing this but I went up and asked the manager to comp it and she did, telling me what really happened was that he simply forgot. Having worked in the industry myself for many years as a young person, I know we all make mistakes, but I owned up to them and tried to rectify the situation. This is the first time I ever left less than a 20 percent tip, let alone a bad one, but sitting here watching my child eat her dinner in the car, I feel it was justified. Such a shame, because the food was really good!
This may be my new favorite Italian restaurant. Food was good. We got the special, a nice sol wrapped crab cake. Really fresh and tasty. We also ordered the penne alla Ferrari. This was amazing. The entire table was happy with thier orders. Except for the flash fried spinach which as a little too greesy and the fettuccini Leonardo which was okay at best. Desert was amazing!!!!
Great Italian food! The service was outstanding. Wonderful ambiance! Highly recommend visitors and residents of Saint Louis, MO enjoy a meal at LoRusso’s!!!
I miss it. Whenever I get back to St. Louis, I make a point of eating here. It’s where I get my cannelloni fix. Atmosphere is also great. You can’t beat it.
Will Go Back. The cioppino was excellent, filet was good and the veal marsala tasty but a little heavy on the sauce Nice caprese salad and good selection of wines. Our waitress was a little distracted.
