“ An amazing Al fresco meal tonight. The gazpacho is the best in town. The caprese is extraordinary with yellow tomatoes and the mussels are just the best anywhere. Sitting outdoors and watching the world go by was so relaxing. There was a street performer playing great music. This is the best place in stl when the nights start cooling Best of all are the fine and patient servers. GREAT dinner!! ”

“ I was seated for about 10 minutes before a server ever came over. And I had "that" look of hello? Anyone? I need a cocktail! Not sure if he was waiting for my companion to arrive or what. I also had to get up twice to find him. Great location, and the interior is fine. We sat at a window table, which was lovely, but the acoustics were such that we could barely hear our server telling us about the specials, but could very clearly hear the conversation of the people at the next table. But the food...excellent! I got the Beef Tenderloin, ordered mid-rare, and cooked perfectly over a wood fired grill. It was seriously SO delicious! As were the mashed potatoes and grilled asparagus. It came with a demi Glace that I'd ask for on the side, next time. It was yummy, but my asparagus was swimming in it. My friend got the tortellini in cream sauce, and it was also very good. I finished with an espresso martini (which they are known for) and tiramisu. Chefs kiss! I'll definitely be back! (I also got the sea scallops and paparadelle to go. I tried a little bite and yum!) ”

“ Went for my brother’s birthday and the staff has a way of always making you feel special and that the moment you celebrating is special too. Not to mention the food was amazing in taste and presentation. 10/10 recommendation, not just for special occasions. Recommend the tortellini, mussels in wine sauce (save the bread to soak up all the wonderful white wine sauce, salmon (great sides that come with that entree), espresso martini, and don’t skip the tiramisu. ”

“ We sat on the patio since it was such a pleasant evening. The bruschetta with tomatoes, artichoke and topped with cheese was delicious. Our entree’s were equally on par. Coupled with the impeccable service it was a perfect date night. ”

“ Great Vibe at Bar Italia! We stopped by Bar Italia just for a quick drink after dinner in the area — but ended up staying for several hours! The bartender and the owner were incredibly nice and welcoming. Their great customer service and friendly energy made it hard to leave. We only planned for one drink, but the vibe kept us there. Definitely coming back to try the food next time. Thanks for the warm hospitality! ”

“ 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. ”

“ Had a wonderful birthday dinner here. Hibiscus and botanical drink was wonderful, and so was the espresso martini. Mussels were great, lobster ravioli amazing, and the lemon mascarpone for dessert was good too. Service wonderful beginning to end! ”

“ Wow!!!!!!! What an incredible experience. Jason was my server and I HIGHLY recommend him. What a true professional he is. I brought the love of my life with me and Jason made it a magical memorable evening. She said that this was the best dining experience that she has ever had. I have been coming to Bar Italia for over 25 years and it is always exceptional but Jason made this the most wonderful time I have ever had at this restaurant. Incredible menu and exceptional wine list. I look forward to my next meal there. If you dine here ask for Jason as your server. You won't be disappointed. He will make your evening magical and memorable. We had eggplant caponata, caprese salad, beet and walnut salad, grilled salmon, risotto of the day, tiramisu, and cappuccino. Everything was exceptional. The chef is extremely talented and very gracious. He made us feel like family. ”
