Pastaria ★ 4.4

$$$ ItalianClayton

James Beard winner Gerard Craft's Clayton Italian runs on handmade pasta and wood-fired pizza in a busy room. The most reliable Italian table off The Hill.

OrderHandmade pasta of the day with a wood-oven pizza.

TipIt books up at weekends; the bar and the patio take walk-ins. The next-door Pastaria Deli & Wine handles takeaway.

Acero ★ 4.3

$$$ ItalianMaplewood

Acero plates handmade pasta and a deep, off-the-beaten-path Italian wine list in Maplewood. It is the quiet, grown-up Italian dinner locals favour.

OrderHouse-made pasta and a glass of an obscure Italian varietal.

TipThe wine list rewards trusting the staff with a regional pick. Reserve on Resy; the room is small.

Louie ★ 4.4

$$$ Italian BistroClayton

This DeMun bistro pairs a fiery pizza oven with a tight Italian menu, and its wood-oven roast chicken is among the best in the metro. A neighbourhood room.

OrderThe wood-oven roast chicken and the Ramon gnocco.

TipIt does not take many reservations, so come early or settle in at the bar. The gnocco fritto is close to mandatory.

Mai Lee ★ 4.4

$$ VietnameseBrentwood

Opened in 1985 and credited as the first Vietnamese restaurant in St. Louis, Mai Lee runs a vast menu of pho, bun and canh chua that sets the local standard.

OrderSalt-and-pepper calamari, pho, and canh chua sour soup.

TipThe menu runs to hundreds of items; the salt-and-pepper calamari and the sour soup are the orders to anchor a table around.

Frazer's ★ 4.2

$$$ AmericanBenton Park

A Benton Park gathering place for 25 years, Frazer's pairs a globe-trotting comfort menu with one of the better cocktail programmes on the south side.

OrderThe cioppino loaded with mussels, clams, shrimp and squid.

TipIt is a neighbourhood room that fills with regulars; reserve at weekends and ask the bar what is being shaken that night.
