Bar Italia

Bar Italia stands as a timeless and cherished spot in the Central West End, contributing to the St. Louis community since 1983. I had not been to Bar Italia since 2015 and its charm hasn’t changed. the upscale Italian cuisine remains unparalleled in St. Louis. The crab ravioli and mushroom pasta showcased the culinary excellence, leaving another mark on my taste buds. Beyond the exquisite dishes, the ambiance at Bar Italia creates a memorable dining experience. Here's to the enduring charm and continued excellence of Bar Italia!

You must experience Bar Italia! Reserve your table and experience Mediterranean excellence!Patio and inside dining are available. Beautiful grape vines embaraces the exterior infrastructure. It is truly a taste on Italy in the CWE.

Great place! I got the special. It was really good.
Drinks are great too. Service is amazing. Tiramisu was delicious!

Top 10 meal of my 5 decades! Amazing food plus incredible service by Juan and Nicole. This is a not to be missed dining experience. Just make sure to make a reservation.

Fantastic food and service. Stumbled in while taking a walk and found a great food and service place. Met at the door by the owner, a friendly, happy man. From the wait staff to the cleanup team, everyone was a treat. Met the chef and thanked her for her excellent cooking! Go and enjoy!!!!!!

Wonderful Italian restaurant. Quaint atmosphere. Friendly service. The food was amazing. I had the butternut squash ravioli. It was so flavorful and out of this world amazing!! Great taste of fall. My wife had the seafood ravioli, which she thought was also amazing. The only thing that was slightly interesting was that it took what seemed forever to get our bill. Other than that minor detail it was a fabulous evening with fantastic food, great service, in a quaint restaurant!

Very sweet restaurant! Food and Wine very good apps were delicious. Feta and pistachio w sauté sweet onions & pita was very good

Chicken and mushroom was also excellent.

As a general rule, I don't patron any establishments that have lower than a 4.5 star rating on Google maps. At the time of writing this and my visit, Bar Italia had a 4.3 star rating of 385 reviews. My partner and I were wandering around aimlessly so we decided to take a chance. WE WERE NOT DISAPPOINTED!

I had the Pollo Arrosto and the lil lady had the Ragu alla Bolognese. Both were fantastic and I would highly recommend them to anyone.

I want to preface this review with a tidbit of important information. This is the only enjoyable Italian restaurant that my partner and I have been to since we moved to St Louis, about a month ago. In fact, it is the fourth restaurant we have visited in the Italian genre and the only one we haven't walked out of.

The restaurant was also courteous to our service dog. 10 out of 10 will come back.

My family and I sat on the patio this evening. We had a variety of entrees - salmon, pasta, salad, etc and everyone enjoyed what they ordered. It was a lovely setting and the service was fabulous. I will definitely be back!! Thank you Bar Italia!

The service was amazing. And the food was so delicious. And the prices were pretty fair!

My favorite place on the CWE. Solid menu, good fresh ingredients, fantastic outdoor patio, great service. The price is reasonable for what you get too. Every time I go it's a treat.

This place the food exceptional service impeccable and ambiance delightful you want to go back and repeat all over again the next day wow this place was just great no complaints at all

Food selection was great and everything we had tasted fantastic. Service was excellent. I will send friends here in the future and we will be back again.

Last night was my first night here and it was amazing! Service was so good! I got a spinach salad as an appetizer and it was so delicious! For my main course I got the pasta with scallops and shrimp and it was sooo good! My fiance ordered the Grilled New Zealand Lamb Chops, and I don't know what they put in the sauce, but I could've put it in a cup and drank it. It was that good! Robel, I think he was the manager, came and asked us how did we like everything and offered us and after dinner drink. He brought us an espresso that was really tasty. Best restaurant experience I've had in a long time. Would definitely recommend. It's a nice spot.

Jonathan the bartender gave great service:)
I suggest trying the crispy snapper piccata dinner, requesting extra sauce on fish :) & to try their martini cocktail called “Bar Italia Citrus Rose” 10/10

Every dish we ordered was great, the portions are big and the staff was very nice too. Highly recommended

Classic Italian spot. The meat tortellini was flavorful and the sauce was delicious especially when it’s scooped up with the bread. The espresso martini is great, but be warned, it can be bitter if you’re expecting a sugary drink. Overall while there’s nothing that stands out, sometimes simplicity is perfection, and that’s all we can ask for. 🙂

Come here every time I'm in town. Love the food and espresso martinis!

James was our waiter for dinner and his service style was attentive and friendly. He was able to give good recommendations based on our questions and made us feel as if we made the right choice to spend our money and enjoy our dining experience at this restaurant.

Service was amazing & food was even better! Beautiful patio
