Our Story
One family,
three generations,
one kitchen.
In 1962, Giuseppe and Rosa Russo arrived in St. Louis from a small village outside Naples with two suitcases, a wooden rolling pin, and a notebook of recipes. A year later they opened a six-table room on The Hill.
Sixty years on, their grandson runs the kitchen. The dining room is bigger. The recipes haven't changed.
01
Slowly
Sauces simmer for hours. Pasta rests overnight. Nothing is rushed.
02
Honestly
If we wouldn't serve it to our own family, we don't serve it.
03
Together
A meal is meant to be shared. Pull up a chair, stay a while.
Meet the Chef
Marco Russo
Marco grew up rolling gnocchi on the back counter of his grandmother's kitchen. After ten years cooking in Rome and Modena, he came home to take over the family pass.
"My job isn't to reinvent anything. It's to make sure my grandmother's pomodoro tastes the same in 2026 as it did in 1962."
