I tell my friends every time they go to St. Louis to go to Paul Manno's. Get the rack of lamb or the filet and you will be extremely happy with your choice. The best Italian restaurants are supposed to be on "The Hill" (and there are several good choices there) but Paul Manno's beats them all by a wide... More

I was searching for a restaurant and stumbled upon this place by accident. Sat at the bar and had dinner and drinks. Food was good and beer was cold. Friendly crowd. Pleasantly surprised. Great staff.

Not on the "The Hill", but transposed in every way without the troubles of getting there. Don't be put off by its location in a strip mall, once you're inside it's a great dinning experience. The daily specials are indeed special and not a way of getting rid of yesterdays leftovers. Make reservations for the weekend for sure because it... More

By far, the best Rack of Lamb in the city. They use a spice blend that you can taste for days afterwards. Great service, great food and small and intimate restaurant that does it right every time. A special occasion destination.

The atmosphere is high-end yet not pretentious. Don't let the strip mall location deceive you ~ the food is delicious. Perfectly cooked scallops. Al dente pasta. Scratch-made sauce. We were there with a large group of friends, but I can also see Paul Manno's being a great place for a quiet dinner for two.

Thoroughly enjoyed a wonderful Valentine's Day dinner here. We made a reservation and there was no wait time. The food was outstanding and service was excellent. It was very busy, but all staff and the owner, Paul Manno, were very attentive and pleasant. My husband had the rack of lamb that he also had on a previous visit and again... More

A well known St Louis Restaurant with flawless food and service. Atmosphere was lively and busy. Our table was ready when we arrived a few minutes early. If you had to wait I am unsure where this would happen.There was no bar or waiting area that I could see. Dinner was excellent. At our table of 4 we were all... More

We visited with two other couples on a recent Thursday evening. The restaurant was busy but not packed as it has been in the past. Our service while attentive was slow, it took over an hour for them to serve salads and over all it was a 3 hour meal. They have expanded the restaurant since our last visit and... More
