Italian
Red Gravy offers upscale casual modern Italian fare.
Chef/Owner Eric Brenner spent his first decade in the industry inside Italian kitchens. Talking up St. Louis' wide-ranging Italian eatery scene, which gets as specific as regional specialties, he says he's wanted to have a place like this since he was 18.
"We're going to start very simple and accessible," he says, "we'll play to the crowd and start a dialogue, then grow the menu with community input."
"Simple," includes dishes like his tomato bisque, with which only has five ingredients. "It's all about the perfect balance. And that gets back to the essence of good Italian food: quality ingredients, very few, in perfect balance." Other examples include his St. Louis-style, thin-crust pizza, best compared to a flat-bread.

    It has been awhile since we've been to Red Gravy, but this last visit reminded us why we like it so much. The food was delicious - warm bread, well-balanced Bucatini Amitriciana, and the Veal dish hit the spot (though the prosciutto was slightly thicker than expected). Service was unobtrusive but fine. Good vibes throughout our 75 minute meal, and the bathroom was clean. We'll be back.

    Really fabulous gluten-free food. I have celiac and was able to bring my wife here so we could have gluten pasta and gluten-free pasta together on the same table. Everyone was super nice and extremely helpful. Restarant was very cool and a touch eclectic on the inside. Very classy without breaking the bank.

    Went here for birthday dinner. It was a fabulous meal. She had the salmon piccata, cooked perfectly with sides of broiled brussel sprouts and a twice baked potato. I had one of the best lasagna ever. It had a delicious meaty red gravy and was a reasonable sized portion. To finish the meal we shared the lemon curd dessert. It was as good as the rest of the meal. Decent price on wine and super service. We will be back again and look forward to seeing what we will eat next!

    Service excellent. Ambience was poor. Music was too loud and inappropriate for an Italian restaurant. The food was way overpriced. Everything was an additional charge. For the five of us they served a small plate of bread and if we wanted more there was a $2 up charge. Drink refills were full price. And a plate of plain fettuccini Alfredo with the smallest salad came to over $25. My wife’s gluten free pasta was poorly prepared. The pasta was way undercooked and rubbery. For the five of us (no alcohol) our bill was close to $200. Never again. Well maybe we will return for just their garlic bread and split a salad. FYI I don’t mind spending $200 for five of us for dinner but it better be worth it. This was no where close.

    Our server was terrible. We were celebrating an Anniversary and were looking forward to a nice evening out. She messed up one order and while the other 3 people enjoyed a hot meal our 4th person waited an extremely long time for the shrimp that was supposed to be on top of the linguine. By the time the shrimp came (literally boiled in water no seasoning or grilling) everyone else had finished their meals. That person got a to go box and went home hungry because she didn’t want to eat alone and make the whole table wait while she ate. The WORST part of the whole thing was how the server handled it. The manager was very curt and didn’t give a crap about the whole event. He did remove the entree from the bill but that wasn’t the point. We were prepared to pay for what we ordered and we’re just looking forward to a nice evening out. Overall horrible experience due to staff!!!!!!! 5 thumps down.

    The food was very good, the wait staff was attentive, and the prices were reasonable. My issue is that we booked a table and when it was our turn to be seated the young man who was, I suppose, the maitre d' took us to a table near the rest rooms. When I asked if we could have a different table - there were four tables vacant - he told us they were reserved! When I pointed out that we had a reservation, we were on time, and there were other tables ready for seating he refused. He said he could wait list us but that it would be an hour wait! Because we were meeting a friend and it was a Friday evening we decided to take the table we did not want. Would I return to Red Gravy? Absolutely not nor would I recommend it to anyone. This illustrates how one inflexible staff member can harm a business.

    I don't call a loud restaurant energetic; it's noisy! Not a relaxing environment for dinner so we ate fast and left. The food was very good and the prices reasonable but we had no interest in staying any longer than needed due to the irritating noise level. The loud music didn't help.

    Our waitress was knowledgeable, but so busy we didn't see her much, leading to drinks not coming in a timely manner, such as a second glass of wine coming about the time my husband was two bites away from finishing his dinner. I guess there was no expediter for the waiter? I think our food was delivered by kitchen staff. Baked ravioli was overcooked(softened up in the fridge overnight) and just warm, not hot. A for originality,but the gnocchi in my marsala was overwhelmed by the balsamic glaze to the point it completely took away the artichoke and mushroom flavors. The cocktails were good.

    Italian food is sometimes hit and miss but this food was delicious. The fact that they used beef bolognese is awesome. Not everyone can eat pork so it was a nice touch that we could eat so many things on the menu. My daughter had fettuccine alfredo and she said it was the best she'd had since Italy. My wife's only comment was that the red sauce was a little sweet and would rather taste a little more garlic but we're splitting hairs here. Overall would absolutely recommend.

    I am absolutely appalled by the servers and the manager of this restaurant. I took my girlfriend out to this restaurant in hopes of great food and experience, but unfortunately, Thursday 10/26 gave us an experience that we will never forget, the restaurant was so cold so we had to go to blue. The bartender/server ordered the wrong dish (butternut ravioli instead of lasagna) and said this was now the 2nd mistake she’s made in a short time and was stressed about that, so in an effort to be extra nice we said we will just keep the wrong food, pay for it, and don’t worry about it. We still wanted the lasagna that my gf ordered but it took 20min to come out. So my food was completely cold by the time her food came out and we couldn’t eat together for our date. No apology was given for this. The server came out at this time with Alfredo sauce only. I had ordered fettuccine Alfredo as a substitute side. She said “that’s what this is.” I said no that’s Alfredo sauce, I ordered a side of pasta. She said we don’t do that here. We had about 4 different servers, so we were just bombarded. One of the servers just leaned on the bar right next to me and stood there for a while and gave a strange smile while I was eating. My gf asked if the bartender had a break down since she ran off upset after she now made another mistake with the side of pasta. She said “no she’s fine” and continued to just watch us eat. We ordered desserts and decaf. The desserts and coffee came in to go cups and to go boxes. The now 4th new server shows up said we closed at 9pm everything is in to go boxes after 9. Then the 4th server comes out and said the server was very upset by our behavior. I said what behavior? We were especially nice by paying and accepting her mistakes and wrong food. She said well you ate the food. The manager comes out and said there was clearly some miscommunications. Never apologized and supported his incompetent staff.

    The locale is awesome. We enjoyed 1/2 wine Wednesdays. The server brought the bottle of wine to the table already opened and corked. She didn’t pour us a taste or have us check the cork. The calamari appetizer was great. We ordered our dinner when the server brought out the appetizer. We didn’t see her again until she brought out entrées out. She hadn’t cleared the table from the appetizer course so she had to set the dirty dishes on a nearby clean table and then provided our meal. She asked my mom if she needed parmesan cheese or red pepper. Mom said yes please. Unfortunately she brought me the wrong entrée. I let her know that I didn’t order it and repeated my order. She became visibly angry and grabbed the plate telling me she would have the kitchen remake it. Mom asked her for more water please and she snatched the refillable glass water bottle bumping into a neighboring chair. She didn’t come back until 25 mins later. Mom ended up sharing some of her tortellini with me which was delicious! Please note that we eat early so there wasn’t anyone else near us that needed attention. There were two other tables filled in a different server’s area. When our server came back, she didn’t say anything but placed the plate in front of me and started to leave without asking if we needed anything or how mom enjoyed her dinner. We had an empty wine bottle and a few small plates from the appetizers still and it was a small table so I said excuse me because she already had turned to leave and asked her if she could please take those items to which she stared at me with an angry look and then huffed before taking those items. Unfortunately my dish wasn’t good which was disappointing considering the calamari and tortellini were excellent. I ordered linguine with clam sauce. The linguine had be snapped in half before cooking, they were over cooked, and the sauce was two ladles full of a soup like consistency at the bottom of the shallow bowl. We aren’t sure if we will go back.

    I deducted one star because the waitress was not very attentive nor was she very friendly. I'm afraid that when the wait staff knows that there's an automatic 20% tip for a party greater than six, it impairs their attitude. The food was great. But the service from the waitress was marginal.

    The ambience is welcoming. The service was pretty good. They seem understaffed. We had the Caprese as an appetizer. I was served the tomoare end, so part of it was inedible. The tomatoes had been refrigerated so they were cold and the texture was mealy. The mozzarella was definitely dry and bland. Our wntress were delicious. I had the stroganoff and my friend had the linguine and clams. Ordered what was supposed to be some sort of tiramisu creme brulee but was more like the texture of pudding that was runny and brown with a thick layer of burnt sugar on top. It was extremely unappetizing just to look at it. Had the food been better and consistent across the board I'd be fine with the pricing as I don't think the prices are high. But the quality was not there. I doubt I will go back.

    We were seated in the area towards the back. The waitress was overwhelmed with the number of people. We had to ask for plates for our salad that we shared. I had just barely sat back when finished eating when she asked if we needed boxes so that made us feel rushed. Overall just an “eh” experience. We’ve been here before and had better service.

    I am originally from St. Louis and it was great to finally have good Italian food like I got used to on the Hill. The worst part about the whole experience was having to decide on one main course! We will definitely be going back to test out the St Louis syle pizza. God! I've missed provel! lol
