*2024 WINE SPECTATOR BEST OF AWARD OF EXCELLENCE*

Renown Italian restaurateur Mario Iaccarino is pleased to invite guests for a taste of the Sorrento Coast at Casa Don Alfonso. Open for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and Sunday brunch, the menu tells the story of traditions passed down for generations in the family homes of southern Italy. These recipes come from a magical place, ripe with the culture and beauty of the Mediterranean. Alongside an unmistakable commitment to hospitality and service, Casa Don Alfonso brings hand-crafted flavors and carefully chosen ingredients with every bite.

Family of Iaccarino honors the culinary heritage of the Campania region, with seasonal ingredients that closely resemble the sun-kissed produce harvested at the Iaccarino family’s farm. Fresh, handmade pastas create an edible narrative of the Iaccarino legacy, while whimsical desserts transport guests to Naples’ nostalgic bakeries.

From Sorrento to St. Louis, we look forward to welcoming you soon.

    The food was excellent but found being informed that we had to eat dinner in a 90 minute time frame on a Saturday night very off putting.

    Great food and selection for buffet. Service was lacking unfortunately, but server was polite and friendly. Waiting to order drinks, plates were not being cleared in a timely manner (had to ask), and forgotten drinks.

    Disappointed. For the price point, this place should be a slam dunk, but unfortunately, it left us wanting more. The quality of the food was subpar—everything was bland, and we even had to ask for salt and pepper to add some flavor. The presentation was mediocre at best. Overall, it just didn’t meet expectations, and we were left unimpressed.

    Simply put - a great dining experience. I've been lucky enough to travel to the Amalfi Coast a couple of times, and this is like going without the jetlag. Each one of our dishes (we split soup, salad), and both ordered a pasta was literally like "being there". You don't find this food often, and it's a special place.
    Casa Don Alfonso - The Ritz-Carlton St. LouisResponded on March 2, 2025
    Thanks for the feedback, Scott! We're thrilled to hear that you had a great dining experience and felt like you were in Italy. It's wonderful to know that our dishes transported you there and that you found our food to be like 'being there'. We're also delighted that you enjoyed your pasta as much as you did. Your kind words truly made our day! We look forward to welcoming you back on your next trip to St. Louis.

    Great business dinner… enjoyed by all. Only issues was that one of the main course menu orders was mistakenly delivered. The server corrected, but was delivered after others in the Party were finished. She sincerely apologized.

    I chose this restaurant to celebrate my birthday, expecting a great experience, but I was extremely dissatisfied with both the service and the food. From start to finish, the experience was nothing short of disappointing. First, despite having a 7:30 PM reservation, my party was not seated until well over 40 minutes later. While waiting, we noticed other tables being offered bread and beverages, yet we were not extended the same courtesy. Once we were finally seated, the service remained painfully slow. It took a significant amount of time before anyone even took our drink orders, adding to our frustration. To make matters worse, a staff member named Rinaldo was pouring water near our table and nearly spilled it on my friend’s phone. Instead of acknowledging his mistake, he neither apologized nor made any effort to clean it up. Later in the evening, when I needed water to take my medication, Rinaldo outright denied my request, stating that the restaurant was about to close. I have never been denied water at a restaurant, especially as a paying customer, and I found this to be extremely rude and unacceptable. Overall, this was a terrible experience. The service was slow, the staff was unaccommodating and impolite, and the evening that was supposed to be a celebration ended up being extremely disappointing. I will not be returning to this restaurant, nor will I be recommending it to anyone.
