Mediterranean Restaurant · 8 tips and reviews
ALIVEMagSTL: With sister restaurant Olio, Elaia is the co-winner of Most Innovative Concept in ALIVE's 2013 Hot List.
Go! Magazine: Elaia is not cheap — $100 for the grand tasting, $200 with sommelier Andrey Ivanov’s wine pairings — but you certainly get what you pay for. (Evan S. Benn) Read more.
Adam Hickey: One of the best meals we've ever had. Pay the extra money for the wine pairings. You won't regret it.

Italian Restaurant · The Hill · 19 tips and reviews
Laura: The house salad is a must-have: pistachios, prosciutto, and parm on romaine with a balsamic vinegarette that has the creaminess of ceasar. Tiramisu is light and fluffy. Excellent service. Low lunch $!
Alan Hautly: Excellent soups and awesome Gorgonzola spread
Cyndy Woodard: It's not on the menu... Bit ask for the fried ravioli. And put the Gorgonzola cheese on it. Yum!!

Irene Liu: Very comfortable atmosphere, excellent service. The food is delicious. I recommend the salmon entree. If Russell is your server you are in good hands.
Shirley Derr: One of the best fine restaurants in St. Louis Metro.
Riverfront Times: The wine list is impressive, along with a menu featuring variations on casual Northern Italian and California fare. Wild boar is a house specialty -- that's right, wild boar. http://bit.ly/11L7NjW

Go! Magazine: Best of '12: Vitello con granchio at Cunetto’s House of Pasta, 5453 Magnolia Avenue, Hill. “Veal with crab and delicate cheese sauce, generous side of pasta with free house wine,” says @robhutti. Read more.
Allison: Dining room opens at 5 - be there at 5 or earlier, or face hour-long waits.
Jamie Corona: Only the hostess had a smile on her face, everyone else looked miserable working here. Oh well, tortolini bianco rocks!
Davey Mendoza: Best Italian food in town, try the toasted raviolis, original dumpling style family recipe unique only to St. Louis. Wonderful food from a wonderful Italian family tradition!
Ryan Smith: This places toasted rav. Makes everyone elses seem store bought. Couldve eaten plate after plate!
Bryan F: Literally the best t-ravs in the world
