Gioia's Deli ★ 4.5
1934 Macklind Ave, St. Louis, MO 63110
A James Beard America's Classics winner on The Hill, Gioia's slices its house Hot Salami onto fresh-baked bread, a sandwich St. Louis treats as a rite.

Adriana's On The Hill ★ 4.2
5101 Shaw Ave, St. Louis, MO 63110
Mama Adriana Fazio opened this Shaw Avenue sandwich shop over 30 years ago, and her daughters still run it. The foot-long subs are a Hill lunch institution.

Anthonino's Taverna ★ 4.2
2225 Macklind Ave, St. Louis, MO 63110
A family taverna on The Hill, Anthonino's blends Italian and Greek cooking, from toasted ravioli to spanakopita, a casual room popular with families.
Tip: The toasted ravioli and the Greek-Italian crossover dishes are the draws. It fills with families at weekends.
Charlie Gitto's On The Hill ★ 4.1
5226 Shaw Ave, St. Louis, MO 63110
A Hill institution tied to the toasted-ravioli origin story, Charlie Gitto's plates red-sauce Italian classics in a clubby room. The t-ravs draw first-timers.

Zia's On The Hill ★ 4.1
5256 Wilson Ave, St. Louis, MO 63110
A family-run Hill room going since 1985, Zia's plates generous Italian-American spiedini and pasta. The everyday Hill table locals lean on over the big names.

Gian-Tony's Ristorante ★ 4.0
5356 Daggett Ave, St. Louis, MO 63110
Open on The Hill since 1989, Gian-Tony's serves Southern Italian veal, chicken and seafood from a chef-owner who still runs the kitchen most nights.
Tip: Reserve for the small dining room and ask after the night's veal preparation. Closed early in the week, so plan a Wednesday-to-Sunday visit.
STL Toasted ★ 3.9
2201 Macklind Ave, St. Louis, MO 63110
STL Toasted took over the old Mama Toscano's space on The Hill and built a counter entirely around toasted ravioli, the breaded-and-fried dish born here.
