Best Contemporary Italian Restaurants in The Loop

This is the second time I have been to Lorenzo’s. It did not disappoint. I brought my partner and a friend. My partner has never been to St Louis before and I wanted her to experience the food in The Hlll. She loved it. The waiter was courteous and attentive, the restaurant I would t say is loud but there definitely is a good buzz of people talking and enjoying each other’s company. I will definitely recommend and hopefully come back in the future on trips to St Louis.

If I could give more stars, I would. The space was decorated gloriously for Valentine’s Day. Joe’s wait service was efficient and well-paced. Food and wine was fabulous as usual! We had a wonderful V-Day with so much value added at Edera!

Lunch was amazing! Excellent service and amazing food. We started with a glass of Prosecco while sampling the amazing focaccia! Best ever! Next the mushroom and black truffle soup followed by the fish sandwich of the day.

Ambiance: The restaurant boasts a beautiful, contemporary interior with floor-to-ceiling wine racks and private dining spaces. The open, airy lounge and the patio lined with lit trees and a water fountain create a relaxing atmosphere.
