Delicious food. I haven’t had pasta that good since I gave been in Rome. I was so impressed. We came early and it wasn’t crowded, but the place filled up and it was so loud. We had to shout at each other to hear. That’s my only downside. Service was excellent. I would highly recommend. I would go back, but sit towards the front where it might be quieter overall.

Decided to meet with friends whom we had known for some 30 years and happened to be in St. Louis on a trip. Some of the group had been experiencing medical problems and it was great to just meet and enjoy fellowship again. A great place to gather, spend some time, and not feel rushed. Food was excellent and staff was suberb.

I had been wanting to try John Mineo’s for some time, and am so glad that I finally did. The restaurant is absolutely beautiful, and the lunch menu is a great deal. The seafood pasta was out of this world, and the chocolate peanut butter pie was heavenly. My server Rick was just wonderful, and made certain that my experience was perfect. It has to be the most authentic Italian restaurant in St. Louis. I look forward to returning.
