Talaynas Italian Restaurant

I’m so glad we finally dived here. This Italian restaurant is right in Chesterfield but somehow we always tried something else.
Plenty of parking on the lot. Very cosy inside seating with two levels. It looks like there is outside seating in warm days.
Great food, from cheese sticks to pastas. Tortellini was delicious, with mushrooms, peas and cream sauce. Kids also enjoyed their options from kids menu.
Service could be more attentive, offering plates and utensils. But overall - great tasting Italian food!

We arrived and were immediately seated in the upstairs section. Be aware there may be stairs to climb to get to the seating area. Nice booth and plenty of TVs. Ordered toasted ravioli (only 6 but large size) and beers. Ravioli was very good, marinara sauce was good, not great. We got a medium pizza with pepperoni and artichoke and it was very good too.
We were given a medium sized box for our leftovers which were quite nice reheated in our air fryer the next day.

We came here with a group of friends and the servers were so great with our two toddlers. They brought the kids meals out early which is always appreciated!

The house salad and house dressing is delicious! The perfect creamy Italian dressing. The shrimp scampi was very good, and everyone else in the group seemed to enjoy their food as well. Would recommend!

Admittedly, part of the charm of the atmosphere was it reminded me of the old Talayna’s in the city — the elevated floor and the stained glass windows.

It was a perfect place for old friends who reconnected after years and years of not seeing another. The pizza was great and the frosted glass for my beer was a bonus feature I always appreciate.

Visited the establishment for a Birthday gathering the night of Feb.20th. Food was delicious and Leigh Anne our Server was Phenomenal she was the best! She was accurate with every order and attentive to every guest. It was at least 50 guests who showed up to show love to the the Birthday Girl!! Thank You Talaynas and Thanks to Leigh Ann, the Chef, and other staff members who assisted. BTW... Leigh Anne my Cosmo was great!

Just moved to St. Louis area from northern Chicago burbs. A coworker highly recommended Talayna's and we were not disappointed! Chicago style pizza was delicious and came close to a favorite we miss in IL. We will definitely be back to try the other menu items! Service and ambiance was wonderful!

Great food and atmosphere. The staff was very friendly and our waiter was also very friendly and helpful. I would highly recommend this restaurant.

Excellent food. Great service. Visited this one as we were familiar with the old one in University City in Saint Louis. Loved the stained glass Windows. Wasn’t keen on the ubiquitous big screen TVs.

Saint Louis.

I have always loved it here. It had been a while since I had been there, but it didn't feel like I had been gone anytime at all. Love it there HIGHLY Recommend

We visited Talayna's on a Sunday afternoon/early evening.

We started with drinks. The lemonade was fantastic! The beer was cold, served in a frosted glass.

They brought out the bread which was crusty and very dense served with good old fashioned butter. Great extra treat. I'm a big fan of free food before the real good.

The appetizer we chose to get is started was the Jumbo Toasted Ravioli. Fantastic! I loved the sauce but it could have been meaty.

We ordered a house salad to split between the four of us (and we had some left). Roped provel cheese. Homemade croutons! Double thumbs up. And then came the pizza...

We order a kids pizza and the pizza was PLENTY BIG for a kiddo. The big 16" large we chose was the New York Style with half Deluxe plus bacon and half meat. The pizza was wonderful, plenty left over at all. All in all the services what made it worthy in the five star rating. They were attentive, friendly and accommodating.

Stopped here while visiting relatives in area over thanksgiving . So so good, everyone very satisfied. We had different kinds of pasta dishes and kids had pizza . Server was attentive and fun. Recommended!

Came in at 7pm on a Friday night and the service was amazing! We had minimal wait time for our food and our waitress, Gracie, kept a great flow of communication, as well as kept our drinks filled & bread replenished. Kids enjoyed the NY pizza & our Chicago-style was equally good. House salad dressing was fantastic! The wine is a bit overpriced but that didn't detract from everything else being great!

Great food, exceptional lunch value.
Try the roast beef sandwich with French dip.
Pizzas looked really good too, hoice of crust
Fresh tasty salads & more.

The food was great and the delivery was fast. The pizza had great flavor. The only issue we had was the deep dish pizza toppings slid to one side and even started to come off. Which is probably not from the restaurant. We will definitely try it again.

I love this place . There's fewer pizza crusts for the puppies ,the sauce is tasty and not too much cheese . There's a few places in the metro area that make similar style to me this is st.louis style pizza .

Had a meat lovers St. Louis style pizza, it was as good as I remembered. Cheese garlic bread was on smaller bread but still good. Had never had the meatball appetizer, it was good loved the sauce it was seating in. Waitress seemed to be a 1 woman band.. doing everything but she was good🙂

Everyone enjoyed their meals. Great kid meals, Spaghetti and chicken strip. Pasta con vodka,chicken kabobs and veal parmesan were excellent.

You can't beat this place if you are a Mike Talanyna (Wash Univ) fan. He passed on a while back but the owners bought the name and recipes. Healthy portions and the world-famous salad still there.

So the review from T R is absolutely hilarious. Talaynas is great. I've had family parties and they've done so well!
PLEASE READ:
referring to the previous review from T R, i was a customer eating there that same night and watched the entire situation go down. it was about 25 people and 3/4 of them dined and dashed, leaving their birthday girl to pay all of their tabs for them. the manager was kind and took off coupons and gave the birthday girl a gift card because he felt bad. i watched the entire interaction from the booth near the bar near the computer, where the conversation went down. he had his own customers walk on on their bills without paying and still did them a favor since he felt bad about them leaving the tab for the last guest to pay. i had a wonderful experience and will be coming back, the manager and servers on the party handled the situation with grace and kindness, even after having a party dine and dash. i spoke to the manager about it and told him he did a wonderful job handling the situation They were so rude to the staff. Unbelievable people.

Great service. I had the most delicious food last night. The place is very inviting and clean. Our dinner tasted great with fresh ingredients and the manger was gracious enough to stop by to see if everything was to our liking. We will definitely return.
