Meet Me In St. Louis
The St. Louis dining scene is hardly cutting edge, but if you’re looking for old-time Italian charm, look no further. This week’s installment on John Mariani’s website features two St. Louis classics + Larry Forgione’s An American Place. Forgione successfully transferred his small-carbon-footprint, locally-driven philosophy from The Big Apple to The Gateway To The West 3 years ago. For a preview of what his Vegas outpost might look and taste like (slated to open at the Wynn later this year), you can read about AAP + 2 classic Italian places that occupy top spots in the St. Louis restaurant hierarchy.

Send a nasty email to whomever directed you to those Brooks Bros.-style cookie-cutter eateries. When in St. Louis and hankering for real Italian creativity and great food, try some authentic, homemade Italian cuisine at LoRusso’s. Rich & Theresa are the best hosts and chefs in town.
