And make sure you go to Ted Drewes for desert afterwards for a concrete! My favorite is the Cardinal Sin.
As a lifelong STL resident, dinner on The Hill followed by Ted Drewes is the way to go! Gitto's, Favazza's, LoRusso's and Cunetto are my favorites. Most restaurants on The Hill are reasonably priced. The Hill is located near Interstate 44 and Kingshighway.
