Toasted ravioli with cheese filling?

My vegetarian daughter and I are leaving on a road trip from San Francisco to St. Louis and back. We'd love to try the toasted ravioli in St. Louis but have been told they always have a meat filling. Is that true? If not, where can we find ones with cheese filling? (Or is that heresy?) Thanks!

    Unfortunately cheese-filled toasted ravioli seems to be a sacrilege in Saint Louis, but another thing to try, and safe for vegetarians, is the toasted CHOCOLATE ravioli at Finale - http://www.finale-stl.com/frame_menu.... .

      Fortel's has them. It's a local pizza place, although there's a couple locations (Kirkwood is the best though). I'm a vegetarian too and that's the only place I've ever seen cheese t-ravs. I've ordered them a couple times and it seems to be hit or miss- sometimes they're great, sometimes the inside is still a little raw. FYI fortel's has really great pizza

        You certainly can get them with cheese filing at the grocery store, but you'll have to look -- i.e., call. I got my last batch at the local Shop 'n Save. (I don't care if it's heresy...)

        As for getting them cheese filled in a restaurant, I've never even looked. You can bet the toasted ravioli's are deep fried in the same oil as chicken, etc. If that's not a concern, simply call ahead.

          Yeah, I don't know of many restaurants that have those. You can get em' at the store .like Richard said though. I've seen prov and jalapeno and parmesan filled ones.
