Bar Italia Ristorante Description:
Rather than modify its traditional menu, Bar Italia has tackled St. Louis' increasingly competitive market for Italian cuisine by emphasizing its lively spirit. For example, it hosts many live soccer-viewing events for St. Louis' loyal fans. The interior---with the bar-music room to the east---is appealing, and the large outdoor dining area is thronged in warm weather. Unlike most other St. Louis Italian restaurants, Bar Italia has the pace of Italy. Its menu changes little: penne appears in a cloud of garlic and mixed mushrooms, and fettuccine wears eggplant and fresh ricotta. Interesting desserts are custom-made from authentic Italian recipes, including house gelato, which isn't as sweet as what's found elsewhere around town. The wine list is long and lovely and very heavy with Italian selections. After dinner, linger over owner Mengesha Yohannes' house-infused grappas.
