Toasted Ravioli- The Hill St Louis

After a 5 year absence I'm returning to St Louis

I will have 3 opporturnities to try Toasted Ravioli.
I plan to to go to Charlie Gitto's and Lombardo's- I'd like to check out one other place on the hill
and was wondering where I can find one of the best.

In the past I've been to Rigazzi's, Lou Boccardi's, Mama Campisi and Cunetto's House of Pasta- They were all good with the exception of Rigazzi's.

Thanks

    The best I've had here was Charlie Gitto's. Might have to try the other ones.

      I did go to Charlie Gitto's but their downtown location. Their toasted ravioli was "plumper" than I remember compared to the other restaurants I previously mentioned but other than that it wasn't notably any different. However I did go to a restaurant called Angelos in downtown St Louis in the Drury Hotel, they are in the same restaurant group as Lombardo's and their toasted ravioli was truthfully the best I've ever had.

      FWIW, Mario Batali chose Mama Toscano's Ravioli when he showed toasted ravioli on his show on the Cooking Channel, "Ciao, America."

        For some reason I thought they were take out retail only- I didn't know they were a full fledge restaurant.

        Thanks, I'll check them out

        I believe Trattoria Marcella would be the place. They are "House Made with Fresh Tomato Sauce".

        Definitely NOT Mama Campisi and I would pass on Rigazzi's as you already probably have.

          Unfortunately they're only open in the evening. Sorry, I should have clarified that I'm looking for a place thats open for lunch- preferably on the Hill..
          Thanks
