Bartolino's South

Was at a seminar held here & dinner provided after. Very disappointed in food & service. They served, very slowly, salad, steaks, broccoli & baked potato. You weren't asked how you wanted steak cooked, mine was well done. It was chewy & flavor was lost due to being overcooked. The broccoli was hard as a rock & almost impossible to eat. The potato & salad were the best thing served. The biggest disappointment was the bread. Now this is an Italian restaurant & you would think they would have delicious warm fresh bread. We were served sliced bread that looked like they opened a bag of sliced bread & put it in a basket & served. It was cold & had to ask for butter. Don't think I will go back, definitely not as a paying customer. Too many other delicious Italian restaurants in St. Louis!

Met friends here for dinner. Place was very busy on a Friday night. Food was excellent! Live music on the patio outside of bar, so we sat outside for a while and enjoyed the music and company. A little out of our way but we will definitely be back!

Had lunch here on Tuesday Oct 3, 2023. Rene was our server. She was delightful. Very knowledgeable and efficient. Very attentive. Food was good. Prosecco was delicious. Salad was a bit bland. Salmon was very good. Pasta side white sauce was good. Nice ambiance, low lighting. Could make for a quiet romantic evening. Will come here again.
