Anthonino's Taverna - St. Louis, MO - Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives on Waymarking.com

They were featured in Season 15, Episode 9 of Diners, Drive-ins and Dives, "All Family, All the Time", which initially aired in 2007. Note that the decor has changed since then. Casual is still A-OK, of course, but the atmosphere is much more upscale than before, where it was a little more like, well, a tavern.

Anthonino's was started in 2004 by two brothers of Greek-Italian descent, so for lovers of Mediterranean cuisine, this is the best of both worlds. They've been "Best Italian Restaurant", they've been "Best Greek Restaurant", and they've made plenty of lists. If anything, if you've never had toasted ravioli, that is their signature appetizer, and the one that got them on TV, so you want to try it. You'll get a half dozen of what they call "little meat pillows" with a really nice cheesy marinara sauce to complement it. Next time, you can try another appetizer!

Most folks will go after the pasta or entrées, but they also have burgers and pizza, with a variety of specialty options. Soups and salads are also available, and upon request, one can add fresh meats or vegetables, all from a local Italian market. They have steaks, seafood, and chicken, and the dolmathes are out of this world. See their website for their full menu, and if you have room after your meal, they've got freshly-made desserts.

In addition to the usual soft drinks and coffee/tea, they have a full bar, a small selection of beer, and a very nice wine list. You are welcome to BYOB, but their corkage fee is rather high, and they'll also charge per person for outside desserts. They also offer free-wifi, but the signal is a bit funny in the back of the restaurant: They'll encourage you to connect up front, by the bar.
