A delicious dinner – especially an authentic Italian meal – often leaves us absolutely stuffed and oh-so-happy. That’s a good thing, except…Italian restaurants usually dish up some of the most decadent desserts around. Like this unique Italian restaurant in Missouri. Save a bit of room for dessert because all dinners come with a complimentary slice of rum cake.
V’s Italiano Ristorante knows a little something about dishing up authentic Italian meals that keep diners coming back again and again. After all, this family-owned and operated restaurant has been a favorite since 1963.
Diners rave about this charming Missouri restaurant, pointing out that a combination of an old-school ambiance paired with classic Italian dishes is what makes it a long-time favorite.
Offering old-fashioned friendly service, V’s Italiano Ristorante also stands apart from the crowd by serving a complimentary slice of rum cake with all dinner entrees. (Don’t worry if you’re visiting for lunch; you can buy a slice a la carte for just two dollars.)
Happy guests have used some pretty complimentary terms – divine and delicious, for example – to describe the rum cake. However, you’ll probably want to judge for yourself. Don’t worry if you’re simply too stuffed to eat it after dinner. Take it home in a to-go box.
While dessert is certainly a hit, the Missouri restaurant also dishes up an impressive selection of Italian dinner entrees. From baked lasagna and spaghetti to manicotti to broiled chicken breast, the menu offers something for everyone.
All entrees come with a salad, too, although you might still want to take a peek at the appetizers. How about starting with such favorites as toasted ravioli, bruschetta, or calamari?
