Sorry for the lack of updates. As you may have read in a previous post, I am in St. Louis for a while. Thus, I have many people tugging my arms in opposite directions.
Nevertheless, I feel compelled to take a break and recommend Onesto Pizza and Trattoria located at 5401 Finkman (at Macklind).
The place was absolutely packed last night. It was exhilarating to see such a crowd turn out in what is otherwise a sleepy and primarily residential neighborhood (Princeton Heights). If you enjoy the Racanelli's name, you'll love Onesto; it's Racanelli-owned.
However, Onesto is more of a sit-down, family-friendly environment. It's the perfect intersection of "chic" and accessible. Dining in front of the large window that overlooks the quaint neighborhood, you get the sense that this is what cities are all about. Families walk down the tidy sidewalks, in front of Tudor-style swooping gables perched on a modest hill, and into the restaurant. Some patrons wait outside on the patio, sipping at wines and striking up conversation.
It's exciting to be back in St. Louis. Great weather, great food, great city!
