Roberto's Trattoria

One of the best restaurants in St Louis. From the quality of the food, the service, and the friendless its 5 stars all the way around. We come a couple times a year from dinner and the specials for the evening as well as anything else on the menu never disappoint. If you've ever thought about coming here make a reservation and you won't be disappointed.

Excellent meal- all 4 courses! The Ravioli appetizer was the best for sure. Brought home a bottle of their house made lemoncello, too :)

Have been going here for years but last night's service and food was beyond any experience we have ever had. I commented on their Facebook post about a dessert and how awesome it would be to try the next night when we were there. They set one aside and put it with our reservation! That is about the highest level of service I have ever experienced at any restaurant. Jamie is an amazing host and I will make sure to request his section every time we make a reservation. He has been our host the last couple times and just goes above and beyond for all his guests. Cannot say enough great things about every experience we have had here.

There aren't enough stars. This is where you should have dinner. We're from out of town, so we don't have a hometown bias. Pulling up it just looks like a strip mall restaurant. Once you've sat down you're in for 5+ star experience. The service is phenomenal. We had Shannon serving us. She was patient, informative, honest, and highly experienced. This place is all about the little details that add up, and Shannon embodied that. You can show up casually dressed and you will be treated as if you're dressed to impress. There's no bias and I love that.

Everything is scratch made to order. Every sauce, everything.
Start with some lobster bisque.
The rigatoni a la vodka will change your life. Finish the meal with a little Limoncello and tiramisu. We will be back for sure when we're in town.

A little hidden gem in south county St. Louis.

Oh, this is one of the nicer restaurants in south county. Tucktaway in a little strip mall near Joey Bs.

Today we sat at the bar and had a drink and appetizers and a salad. All were excellent and the bartender was an excellent server.

I’ve never been disappointed when I’ve been here for a full meal. Service has always been good and the food has always been exceptional.

Kind of funny though because when I come here for my birthday like three years in a row it’s been on a Monday when they were closed. Lol .

What a wonderful hidden gem! Every person we encountered was very pleasant and welcoming. Our server was excellent. The atmosphere was beautiful. The food was delicious. I am so so happy we tried Roberto’s. We will definitely be back. Bon Appetito! 🇮🇹

Wonderful ambiance, the food is so very delicious and the desert…fagetaboudit. I give Roberto’s 5 YUMS 😋😋😋😋😋

Food was so delicious! It was six of us and everyone liked their food. Shrimp Lucia, sea bass and Tortellini Alla Boscaiola was to die for! I loved their Limoncello as well. Overall excellent food and service!

Had an amazing date night with my wife tonight. She said "that is the BEST lobster basque I've ever had"

I ordered the Fillet Roberto and it was cooked perfectly with a delicious muchroom amd cheese topping. My wife had the chicken spedinit which was full of some amazing breading! So delicious!!!

The decor was very nice and the staff was extremely polite and courteous. It's been a couple years since we have visited, this restaurant, but our experience was amazing! We will be back soon.

Amazing dinner tonight! Quickly seated, great service, amazing appetizers and entrees. Kids loved the fettuccine and tortellini. I had the sea bass which melt in your mouth and had so much flavor. My husband had the rigatoni with huge pieces of crab claws and shrimp. Everyone left very full and so happy! We will definitely be coming back! The owner was so nice and personable. Must visit if in St. Louis. You will not be disappointed!

Great Italian Restaurant in the Greater St. Louis area. Don't let the look from the street fool you. It is a wonderful interior with even better food. The service was great and very fast. Many dishes offer a wide variety of Italian cuisine and grilled options for multiple tastes. Highly recommended for all looking for something special.

Expect to spend a lot more at this restaurant than many other places. The quality of the food justifies the costs, in my opinion. The calamari was not the best that I have had, although it was pretty good. The special handmade pasta plate had shrimp that was huge and so exquisitely cooked. The seafood pasta was phenomenal! The restaurant has a nice ambiance; the wait staff was friendly and attentive. If you want to impress someone, a meal at this restaurant may just help you achieve that goal.

Best. Italian. Ever! Delicious authentic Italian, family atmosphere, great service….a must for anyone who enjoys Italian food! From appetizers to dessert….second to none!

When we walked in, some people finished and was leaving the restaurant noticing we are reading the menu and he said, everything was good here. Any foodies will know, each restaurant will have it's popular dish that they do well, but not every dish. Well, I guess I was wrong.

Chicken Parmigiana - that was an extra dish to share so we didn't start on it until later, but it was still crispy, cheese was just right amount, the sauce was excellent, just right, not to sour (tomatoes) just perfectly seasoned sauce. Chicken was tender, not too thick.

Shrimp - Nicely grilled, very fresh and crisp. It's impressive.

Chicken Spiedini - I didn't taste too much of it, not my dish but the stuffing was very tasty, the sauce was delicious, just the right taste.

Lobster tagliatelle - My dish, mine! My precious! It was the best. I forgot to check how much it costs but it didn't matter. So much lobster meat, the sauce is delicious, the pasta was al dente. The only thing is, I shouldn't have ordered the lobster bisque, I think the sauce is based on the bisque or may be the same.

Fried calamari - Was I impressed. I've had so many fried calamari and this one is nicely done. Perfectly done in fact. Some fried Calamari I had before were slightly soggy, you can see oil on the plate, battered came off and oily as well. But here, calamari were crispy, the battered didn't come off, not a lot of oil on the plate and it's crispy not soggy. They truly done a wonderful job with it.

I was particularly impressed with their thoughtfulness where they wrapped the you go box. So thoughtful! So the sauce will not spill out.

What a find! I've been to many many excellent Italian restaurant and many many pasta trip to Italy but those place is special. What a gem! When you look at the entrance you definitely going to wonder may be it's not too late to go some where else. But the inside decor is very nice. Guess you can't judge a book by the cover.

One of my favorite Italian restaurants in STL. Lobster Bisque is second to none. The tortellini is hand-made and fabulous. They give great wine pours and the wait staff is excellent. The staff describes how all the food and drinks are prepared to incredible specific details. Definitely would recommend for anybody visiting St. Louis who want to try authentic Italian-American food.

Best Italian-Seafood in St Louis! Roberto brought his family recipes from Taranto, Italy where he fished the seas for a living. Amazing food and stories!

Excellent service and absolutely amazing cuisine. We drove 1.5 hours (one way) to get here for my wife’s birthday, and it was worth every mile. It will become a once a month trip.

My family and I enjoyed our son's 22nd birthday dinner at Roberto's last night. We arrived promptly at 430 pm, our reservation time, and we were warmly welcomed by all. This dinning experience was very elegant, warm, friendly with cozy family feeling throughout our stay. Since it was our very first visit, we asked questions about the menu items so we could pick our entrees. Our waiter and assistants were very attentive throughout the meal. Our food was promptly brought out when ready piping hot smelling of the best Italian flavors. We loved our meals: chicken parmesan, scallops with spinach was divine, mouth watering tortellini with peas and mushrooms (so good), and oh yes the toasted ravioli appetizer was also very delicious. I choose the house dressing and I wished I picked something else as the flavor, for me, wasn't pleasing my taste palette. I'm very adventurous trying new things and every once in awhile I get it wrong. We can't wait to come back to try something different and soak up more finely prepared pasta dishes. The attention to detail was felt in every delicious pasta bite.

Mr. Zanti and all staff, thank you for a very lovely evening we will always fondly remember. We felt like we were in Italy with all the perfect ambience of what it must be like to eat at a truly amazing Italian restaurant far away in our own lovely hometown of St. Louis MO.

Mr. Zanti, I've read a lot of your replies to customers. I admirer your high quality standards not compromising price for quality food. We tasted your loving care and attention to detail throughout the whole meal. I love how you defend and honor your restaurants by not cowering to terrible unflattering remarks by standing up to bullies. We will recommend your restaurant to friends and family for their next special diner out on the town. Thanks to all!

What a hidden gem! This place is AMAZING! All the service staff was great, the food is 2nd to NONE!

This place is a gem. I came here BECAUSE of the owners response to a sketchy review. Atmosphere, price, food quality and selection as well as impeccable service are a win win win. Get here and enjoy a culinary wonderland!
