Best Contemporary Italian Restaurants in Kirkwood

very good lunch spot, excellent service and good food

This could be the best restaurant in St. Louis. The food is outstanding. The service is great and the ambience is beautiful. Will continue to be our go to place. 

Happy hour is a good deal. We had Risotto ball as the starter and a Margherita pizza and a mushroom pasta. All foods are excellent especially for pasta. I will definitely visit again and try other pastas

We had an amazing first visit at Gamlin’s! Our server, Jooly, was so attentive to every detail and offered her guidance with any questions. The food came out incredibly full of flavor. We chose to sit by the kitchen and it was very enjoyable to watch the behind the scenes.

Thoroughly impressed with the hospitality, food quality, and wine selection. Chef Nicola Pignatelli outdid himself! Chef's kiss for the Homemade Tagliolini with Mushrooms & Black Truffle! Superb, unique flavors. I added chicken on the side, and it was lightly crisp and so tender. With an incredible wine selection, I paired it with Juan's recommendation: Urlari Rosso, "Pervale", Toscana 2019. Very smooth. For dessert, I wanted to try the infamous Il Limone, paired with Limoncello Liqueur. Very unique, but it lives up to the hype because the sweet white chocolate coating balances the Lemon Compote. The lemon liqueur was surprisingly very strong (it'll open your sinuses). The restaurant itself is beautiful and elegant, from the aperitivo seating to the dining and private dining area. Every server was extremely attentive and polite. Dominicus and Juan were outstanding - we had some good laughs. Chris, the GM, blessed us with his presence and a moment of his time, as did the Chef. Thank you ALL for a wonderful dinner experience and a reason to return! Well worth it. What makes them unique? Recipes are passed down by the Iaccarino family, from Sorrento to St. Louis. I highly recommend visiting and experiencing Casa Don Alfonso!
