Paul Manno's Restaurant

This is one of the finest Italian restaurants in St. Louis. You walk in and expect Frank Sinatra to be playing. Really nice, fine dining atmosphere. This is a little unexpected since It’s just a restaurant in a strip mall. Great drinks from the bartender. The bread is amazing and it served with olive oil and balsamic glaze to dip in. That was superb. The calamari was good. The veal was good but a little tough. The Seabass was cooked perfectly as was the rest of the food. The side vegetables were excellent. The desserts were amazing! The service was excellent.

Paul Manno’s – A Meal That Left a Mark Dining at Paul Manno’s was one of those experiences that reminded me why going out to eat can be something special—not just about the food, but the feeling it leaves you with. The atmosphere is refined but relaxed. It’s the kind of place where the lighting is just right, the tables are dressed nicely, and the room carries a quiet hum of conversation that makes you want to lean in and enjoy. What really stood out, though, was the service. Matthew, our server, was excellent—attentive without being overbearing, knowledgeable, and genuinely welcoming. He made the whole evening feel smooth and personal, like we were being hosted rather than just served. The food lived up to the setting. The lobster ravioli was rich, creamy, and full of flavor.

Very nice restaurant. Food was outstanding. Waiter and bussers were very attentive. The chelaen sea bass special was fantastic and cooked exceptionally well. Linguini monte mar was very well done. Sauce was amazing. Highly recommend and would go again.

We had dinner at Paul Manno’s Cafe with our friends a few days ago. The entry door was kinda hidden from the outside. It’s a little too dark to read the menu but it didn’t bother me much. The restaurant has a cozy and charming atmosphere. We started with calamari fritti for appetizer. For entrees, we ordered their famous Rack of lamb (med rare) with Caesar salad and linguini mare monti. My little one had his own off menu item.Rack of lamb was definitely the star of the show. I loved the flavor a lot. We finished our dinner with homemade tiramisu. I didn’t take photos of my friends orders but they were satisfied with the quality of food and service. Paul Manno’s Cafe is absolute a great spot for anyone craving authentic Italian cuisine.

I travel with work and eat out often. This is by far and away the single best Italian restaurant I’ve ever eaten at. The wait staff is impeccable and the food is amazing and CONSISTENT. Two of my favorites on the menu are their house special veal chop and the shrimp scampi. The place is in an unassuming strip mall but has a nice ambience and ultra good food. Highly highly recommended.
