"Flash-fried spinach appetizer was visually appealling and tasty. Lobster risotto was outstanding. 1/2 bottle selection was great for a single diner, had a coupon from the Hilton next door that made the visit an even better value. Lots of locals and out-of-town guests for the Blues game made for a fun and energetic atmosphere, but the service was still outstanding and had a higher-end restaurant feel. Would definitely go there again."

"We had a great dinner. The staff was very accommodating even though some guest did not arrive on time they continued to be attentive and helpful to us when more than the invited showed up. The food was great and arrived in a timely manner. Hope to return next time I'm in St Louis."

"Waiter was annoying. Loud, scripted, moved around the table as he talked and interrupted too often. Lombardo's has always been one of our favorite restaurants: good food, quiet atmosphere for visiting and good service by professional waiters. This was not the case this time. Others in our party thought the food was good. Mine was so-so, if not bland. It was very disappointing."

"This was a great place to celebrate a special occasion while visiting St Louis. The atmosphere was awesome and the staff were all very accomodating and friendly. Our server David was a true professional who was always available without ever being intrusive. I was disappointed that other diners were wearing ball caps and yelling in such a classy restaurant, but to each his own. Our food was amazing, the wine was just what we wanted, and we had a great night for a very reasonable price. As a bonus, the Lobster Risotto was almost as good the next day, so I got two meals for one!"

"Great food and menu options. Waitress brought us some complementary garlic cheese bread which were awesome. The house salad was excellent and the seafood linguini was probably the best I've ever tasted. Service was excellent; water glasses never half empty before being refilled. Great atmosphere. Would definitely go again."

"Lombardos has been a STL favorite of ours for nearly 20 years. Food, service, and ambience are always head and shoulders above most restaurants, and on a par with the finest Italian restaurants in the city. We regularly send friends and guests there, and they never fail to come back with a positive report/"

"Lombardos is a great restaurant and would recommend to anyone. This prices are moderately expensive but worth it. Me and my husband invited a couple along with us for Valentine's day and they said they would come back. We have gone for our anniversary and birthdays and have never been disappointed. The owner was there for valentines day and we thought that was a nice gesture."

"It was the best piece of Filet Mignon that I have ever had in my entire life. The dish was cook perfectly and the meat seemed to melt in my mouth. I have never experienced such a delicious first bite. The meals were pretty heavy in oil (I loved it) and our seats were in the coldest part of the restaurant, but it was the perfect place for our valentines dinner."
