The menu is extensive, and I have tried about half of the offerings. I have never been disappointed. The sauces are excellent and the ingredients are fresh. EVERYONE leaves with a doggie bag; that is how big the portions are! The wine list ranges from the wonderfully affordable to really expensive. They do a five ounce pour as opposed to most restaurants which give you between 3oz. to 4oz. The service is superior...water glasses are always filled promptly. Whenever I have out-of-town company I take them to LoRusso's...and th... read more
Celebrated my birthday here! – Our group of 10 celebrated my birthday at LoRusso's at the end of September, 2009. What a great way to start our evening with a dinner at this amazing Italian restaurant! From appetizer to after dinner drinks, everything was delicious and the servings generous. Our glasses were never empty, the meal was presented beautifully and the each course was brought out in a timely fashion. The cioppino was very nice, the mushroom ravioli to die for, the tenderloin melted in our mouth. You have to try th... read more
Great people, service and food - a new favorite – Lucky enough to have picked LoRusso's from a variety of opportunities in the Hill area. Have dined at some great Italian restaurants in Chicago/Milwaukee - but this was a fantastic meal while doing a long weekend in St. Louis. (2/28/09). It was everything we'd hoped for - Rich and the staff were enjoyable. Service was perfect - always there when needed and timed just right. Not rushed through our meals like some places would do on a busy Saturday night. Bruschetta, salads, ve... read more

Wonderful experience – This was our first trip to LoRusso's Cucina. Saturday night. The atmosphere was beautiful. The staff was very friendly and our server treated us like we have been going there for years. Appetizer was the Wild Mushroom Trio. Wanted to lick the plate it was so good. Tenderloin Mudega and smoked chicken stuffed ravioli. AWESOME. For the dining experience, very reasonable. Highly recommend.

Won't be going back – We were there Friday 5/9/08. It took an hour for our order to be taken. The server was a very rude man, who acted like we were taking up his time. I ordered the Mudega, medium rare. It was cooked to a very tough well. I even noted that at the table next to us, who had the same server, one of the diners sent her chicken spedini back. We had been talking to the members of that table during our wait and the lady told me that the chicken was tough and tasted like it was made 12 hours earlier. Overall, the f... read more

Thanks for your comment and we regret this unpleasant experience. We only wished we knew about these issues when you were dining with us. My wife and I were both working on that very busy night, you were at table 35. Dan your server said there was never any comment about the food. Please, when ever you dine out and something is wrong, you need to let management know and give them a chance to make it right. Leaving an establishment with these feelings is doing disservice to all. Writing a letter after the fact is adding insul... read more
Be sure to make a reservation on the weekend and you will not be disappointed. The tenderloin, meatloaf, and chops were out of this world. Pasta was a little overcooked. Great ambiance.
Consistently great! – Our favorite Italian restaurant; there are no off nights here. Rarely can you say about a place you frequent that there have been no bad meals, but that's the case. A wonderful blend of fine and casual dining. The atmosphere is warm and inviting and the pianist in the dining room adds to nice ambience. Special occasions are special, but this is a great place to go just to get out. Reservations are recommended and usually obtainable. The food is carefully prepared, of high quality, and not slathered in s... read more

whine – We were dismayed to find sludge at the bottom of a bottle of red wine. Unfortunately, my son got the last glass and a mouthful of disgusting red sludge. The owner and chef had little sympathy and only made us mad. Not good customer service and a big disappointment at a restaurant so highly rated. We were a party of five celebrating an 85th birthday and this was pretty unpleasant. We have been loyal customers but next time we will go elsewhere.
Business response:
Thanks for your comment, I remember this incident. The product that was in your sons glass was in fact wine, the bottle listed the wine as "unfiltered". I'm not sure what was expected of us as this is what the product is. Bones also are in fish, if you find one in your entree please realize that sometimes it is out of our hands. You would have been better off complaining to Franciscan Winery about the wine issue. An edudated diner is our best customer. Hopefully we wil see you again. Remember we offer half price bottled wine... read more
