The bright decor, offset by the industrial setting, is the perfect scene for the wildly imaginative menu featured at this dynamic restaurant. Calamari salad is made with garbanzo beans and diced beans tossed with a lemon and oil dressing. Eggplant fettuccine is enlivened with a tangy blend of tomatoes, olives, onions and capers and topped with herbed ricotta cheese. Sample the homemade gelato for dessert.

This elegant, old world-style restaurant features dark woods, a fountain, and a comfortable ambience. Risotto makes as fine an appetizer as it does an entree. Start with the creamy seafood risotto made with salmon, shrimp, and scallops. Follow with the Veal Nunzio, medallions sautéed with cheese and topped with lump crabmeat and a lemon butter sauce.

SOUTH CITY. [Due to road construction, Giuseppe's is open for lunch only until sometime in 2009.] Serving hungry diners since 1974, Giuseppe's has grown to incorporate three neighboring storefronts and now commands its city block. Basic southern Italian dishes fill the menu, and the authentic recipes have been passed down through three incarnations of St. Louis restaurants. Appetizers like toasted ravioli and sauteed calamari give way to filling entrees like veal parmagiano, sauteed chicken livers with onions, and classic spaghetti and meatballs.

This authentic gourmet Italian restaurant has been a St. Louis staple since the 1920's. Small dining areas arranged within the larger space create an intimate old world atmosphere. Start with the signature fried artichokes and move on to filet tournedos in a green peppercorn cream sauce, linguine with seafood, or a mixed grill of lamb, beef, and Italian sausage in a currant mustard sauce.

THE HILL. Achieving that rare, successful balance between elegance and comfort, LoRusso's attracts couples looking for a romantic night out and families who come to enjoy the spacious dining area. Authentic, flavorful entrees from the cucina are inspired by the owner's grandmother's cooking. Veal saltimbocca, chicken Teresa (breaded breast meat with broccoli, cheese, and white wine sauce), and linguine in tomato and lobster sauce are a few favorites. Interesting vegetarian dishes like butternut ravioli and eggplant lasagna promise flavor without meat.

Enjoy the potato ravioli with shrimp and seasoned with herbs grown in the restaurant's garden or try the creamy risotto with roasted chicken, sun-dried tomatoes, and asparagus. Reservations are essential.
