The Scene – For many St. Louisans, Cunetto's is synonymous with The Hill, the Italian neighborhood to which it has opened its doors since 1974. Their House of Pasta is popular with just about everyone--families, couples on dates, and holiday revelers. However, be prepared to wait for your table, since reservations are not accepted. – – The Food – If you like rich food and your cardiologist doesn't object, order the tortellini bianco, a yawning gulf of pasta stuffed with meat and bathed in a mushroom, prosciutto, and pea cream sauce. If you'd prefer to dine light, try…
Best Place in Town for Pasta

I have been going to this place since I was a kid, and the food has always been great. The wait for seating is a bit long, but the food never disappoints.
Cunetto's House of Disappointment
by Sualymat at Citysearch
It has been 5 or 6 years since our experience with Cunnetto's and we had the same degrading service that obviously still prevails. We definately felt like the "common folk" on are visit, beginning with the no greeting the moment we walked in the door and an unreasonably tiring, long wait. Guess Cunneto's has such a great following they do not need new customers. We thought we would give them a try after all this time has passed but after reading the other reviews, we will not bother wasting our precious time, energy or money.
Disappointed but will give it one more try???

My Husband and I really enjoyed dining at Cunetto's. That was up to about 5 years ago. It was a very unpleasant experience. Granted, it was a very busy night, however when we asked for some bread, the waitress went over to another table where a couple had just left, took the bread off of their table and placed it on ours. I must say I was "shocked". We definitely requested some "fresh" bread and the waitress acted insulted. When we left, we spoke with the Manager and all he could say in rather a curt voice is "what do you want me to do about it"? Seriously....that is all he could say. I think he thought we were expecting a free meal. We told him that we would never be back and we have held true to our word. I know that there are plenty of other good Italian places to eat, however we are thinking about giving this place one more chance. What do you think????
Fellow Italians give you 5 stars

My son and I flew to St. Louis with a friend. We live in Orange County California and own an Italian restaurant. I am Sicilian and Greek and my husband is Italian. We entered a busy dining area with a very friendly staff. For appetizer we ordered the Toasted Ravioli: Best I've had, also the Shrimp Diavolo and the eggplant parm: all great. For dinner we all ordered the eggplant parm dinner because we didn't get enough from the appetizer. This dish could have fed the three of us. Dinner salad was awesome. My 14 year old son actually ordered another one. The coffee was good the Italian waitress was a delight. We had a lot of leftovers and no fridge in the hotel. We left them in the trunk and due to the fact it was snowing, it was frozen by morning and ready to reheat. I have to have another surgery in October and can't wait to eat at Cunetto's again! Hats off to St. Louis!!! The people are warm and wonderful.
- Pros: Dinner Salad, Bread, Toasted Ravioli...
- Cons: Tiramisu a little dry
Simply dreadful dining experience
by NYCtoSTL at Citysearch
There is nothing particularly skillful about preparing meals that are over cooked, over sauced, over cheesed, and over processed. And there is nothing particularly pleasing about gargantuan portions of food that, if fully consumed, would accelerate ones own demise.
- Pros: Nostalgia
- Cons: Food and service
