Renown Italian restaurateur Mario Laccarino is pleased to invite guests for a taste of the Sorrento Coast at Casa Don Alfonso. Open for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and Sunday brunch, the menu tells the story of traditions passed down for generations in the family homes of southern Italy. These recipes come from a magical place, ripe with the culture and beauty of the Mediterranean. Alongside an unmistakable commitment to hospitality and service, Casa Don Alfonso brings hand-crafted flavors and carefully chosen ingredients with every bite.

Family of Iaccarino honors the culinary heritage of the Campania region, with seasonal ingredients that closely resemble the sun-kissed produce harvested at the Iaccarino family’s farm. Fresh, handmade pastas create an edible narrative of the Iaccarino legacy, while whimsical desserts transport guests to Naples’ nostalgic bakeries.

From Sorrento to St. Louis, we look forward to welcoming you soon.

    Normally I’d rank 5 stars across the board, as we’ve eaten here many times. This visit I rate 4 stars on service and overall ONLY due to waiting 30 minutes past our reservation times to be seated. The staff were friendly about it, and I could tell they were actively trying to manage the full main dining area to seat us, however that long of a wait was a bit much. Overall the food and experience was amazing as always despite that. I still highly recommend!

    We’ve been here about 5 times. Drinks and service has always been excellent. But the food has been very average. They did a menu change since the last time we went, and everything we got was amazing! The food is now back on par with their service and drinks. Excited to go back again!

    Took my daughter to brunch at Casa Don Alfonso. We loved the seafood bar!!! Oysters were fantastic. The prepared food was mediocre and I would have expected much better from the restaurant at the Ritz. It would be better to do a few things really well than everything mediocre. Perhaps they are seasoning for the masses. Just doesn’t interest me. The service was good but no spoons for the soup or our coffee. Just kind of disappointing for a high end restaurant. Lovely setting.

    We have had brunch at Casa Do Alfonso many times and have enjoyed it. Today we brought guests with us and made a reservation for 11:00 Saturday morning. We were not told that brunch ends at 10:45 and Lunch begins at 11:00. Although lunch was good, we preferred brunch. Nothing was written on the reservation. page. We hope you can correct this.

    Delicious food and excellent service. The meal is served at a typical Italian pace - one is expected to linger over and enjoy each course. So it is not unusual for a meal to last 2.5 hours. Slow down and enjoy!
