I added shrimp cuz I’m HANGRY after being on my feet all morning! Soooooo good! Just the right amount of spice.

The BEST! My father and I are so much alike. We both ordered the eggplant Parm and then split the large Guido's special salad.

This locally owned restaurant is a St. Louis treasure. Katie Lee has a very thoughtful and imaginative menu making this Italian restaurant unlike any other in the area. Definitely destination restaurant.

This is comfort on a plate. The fresh made cannelloni are chock full of the beef, mascarpone & spinach filing & the fresh tomato sauce is light & delicious. No freezers or microwaves in this family owned Spaghetteria . Everything is bought fresh in the morning & prepared each day. A real gem.

Full of asparagus! Yay!

Hey St. Louis favorite this is a fantastic version of it but enough to feed four people and swimming in sauce. That’s not a bad thing!!

Best dish of the night. Missouri mushrooms & handmade ravioli & sauce.

I love the food here and the attention to detail in service is top notch. Every single hot dish is literally heated further inside a plate over a flame. Your dinner stays hot the entire time you're eating it. Nice!

Girls night out with my Mom. She said she just wanted "something light." She ordered this & ate almost the whole thing with 4 pieces of Italian bread that she declares "is to die for!" She ate half my watermelon salad too...Love my Mom.

ARUGULA REGINETTE ARUGULA FLAVORED REGINETTE WITH PORCINI CREAM, FOREST MUSHROOMS &TRUFFLE OIL. This was my friend Jess's dish. She absolutely adored it. You could smell the truffles a mile away.

So many varieties of mushroom! Jess loved this dish.

Super flavorful and lioved it.

A classic plate of cannelloni from Talayna's tastes the same today as it did when I was a teenager. It's not fancy but it's a great family restaurant and they have them all over the city and county.

SO decadent and, hello? Black olives?!! Yes!!!

This hit the spot because I hadn't eaten for 7 hours, but I would only give it a 7 out of 10 due to the sauce being too spare and a bit bland. Smoked local chicken, sun-dried tomatoes, sweet peas and garlic cream sauce. I love peas in my pasta. My Nonna always added it in her marinara & we all loved it.

With salsiccia and prosciutto in a light broth. Pretty good. All housemade pasta, but I only ate half & the waiter threw out my leftovers! No doggy bag for a $91 (before tip), meal is not cool in my book. Oh well.

Pasta with an olive oil and sun-dried tomato sauce.

I have loved just about everything I’ve ordered here over the years, and I’ve always order-envied the old standard spaghetti and meatballs that other people order but really ...why order something so ordinary at a restaurant? It’s a Monday night meal at home. But ...I was in the mood so I ordered it and was sadly disappointed! I have never had watery Ragu before. It was so watery nothing clung to the pasta at all so I drenched it in Parmesan cheese to try to thicken it up and while it did ultimately have a good flavor, I would not order this again. Also the meatballs were overworked and far too dense. Sigh.

Pretty good, but needed more sauce.

Not as good as I remember it. Has it changed, or is my palate just more sophisticated as I get older?
