Vicini pastaria, cafe, & market

"Food Vendor at Tower Grove Farmer’s Market turned Brick-and-Mortar, Vicini Pastaria is THE place to have a great Italian lunch while also picking out food for the week from their ready-made fridge. The whole menu is my favorite and changes daily based on what is in season."

"Lovely! Great quality food in a cozy environment. My boyfriend said it’s the best restaurant he’s been to in St. Louis and I have to agree."

"I've been here before to buy pasta to go, which has always been amazing. Today, I finally got to stop for lunch. Seating is limited, but we were fortunate that they were not busy. The service is friendly. The food....is phenomenal. These are dishes you want to eat slow so they never end. I haven't had a meal this fantastic in ages and I wish I could've tried everything. The menu and pasta selection change, but they had options that could cater to anyone. This place is a true gem that is on the rise in St. Louis and perfect for a memorable lunch."

"Great pasta and do not miss the bread service! My wife had the Cacio E Pepe and I had Tagliatelle pallia e fiend (pasta ribbons with prosciutto, asparagus, peas and marscapone cream. They both were great. The bread service was amazing with warm foccocia, olive oil, Parmesan, and housemaid pesto."

"This little cafe/store with communal seating (first come first serve), cozy ambiance, delicious food and plenty on shopping opportunities was the perfect place for lunch on a Sunday during a Lafayette Square neighborhood event. The pasta was cooked perfectly, the olives and the arancini were really good. The sandwich super filling and tasty. The service was great, even during a very busy day. Totally recommend to check out this place."
