" What an incredible dining experience! The moment I stepped into LoRusso's, I felt like I was transported to Italy. The ambiance is warm and welcoming, perfect for a date night. I ordered the seafood risotto, and it was hands down the best I've ever had; creamy, full of flavor, and loaded with fresh seafood. Our server was attentive, and genuinely seemed to care about our experience. I'll definitely be returning! " (*Curated Review*)

" Back at LoRusso's for a quick dinner, and once again it didn’t disappoint! Tried their cannoli this time and it was heavenly! We also ordered the fettuccine alfredo, which is definitely a crowd-pleaser. Although we faced a little delay in seating, the server was friendly and made up for it with excellent service. A solid choice for a meal any day of the week! " (*Curated Review*)

" While visiting family in St. Louis, we decided to try LoRusso's, and it was a treat! The gnocchi was light and fluffy, and the marinara sauce had that homemade quality that reminds me of my grandmother's cooking. Despite a slight mix-up with our order, the staff went above and beyond to make it right, which I really appreciated. I'll definitely be stopping by again when I'm in town again. " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently celebrated my birthday at LoRusso's, and it was a lovely experience! The Italian bread served warm was a fantastic starter, and the pasta dishes we ordered were rich and flavorful. The service was great, everyone was friendly, and it felt like being part of a big Italian family. The only downside was the noise level during our visit. Still, I highly recommend this restaurant for a special occasion! " (*Curated Review*)

" We came to celebrate a promotion and could not have chosen a better place. The atmosphere was cozy, like a family-style Italian home. We tried the garlic knots, chicken marsala, and tiramisu for dessert. Absolutely amazing! The staff was warm and welcoming, making the experience that much better. LoRusso's will be on our list for future celebrations! " (*Curated Review*)

" Absolutely loved my experience here! Not only was the food fantastic, but the staff were some of the friendliest I’ve encountered. I started with the calamari and followed with the chicken alfredo, both of which were instantly favorites. I also appreciated the cozy decor. It's clear the team at LoRusso's cares about providing a great experience. Can’t wait to come back with friends! Highly recommend this place! " (*Curated Review*)

" Dining at LoRusso’s was an experience to remember. Our family visited for my daughter’s graduation, and they set up a lovely table for us. The food was generous and prepared with fresh ingredients. I loved the lasagna, rich and cheesy; it's like a slice of Italy on my plate. Service was great, but the restaurant was busy, so plan ahead if you want a quieter experience. Would recommend for celebrations! " (*Curated Review*)
