Missourians know there’s one place to go, when in St. Louis, for a delicious, authentic Italian meal – The Hill. The historic neighborhood, founded by Italian immigrants, promises some of the best Italian cuisine in the entire state. If it’s your first visit to the charming area, reserve a table at the oldest restaurant on the Hill.

A Hill favorite since 1957, Rigazzi’s is perhaps best known for a few things – in addition to being the neighborhood’s oldest Italian restaurant – and that’s its toasted ravioli and the frozen fish bowl.

Toasted ravioli needs no explanation, but the award-winning dish is worth ordering. If you’ve never had a frozen fish bowl, you’re in for a delightful treat.

Unlike some restaurants, Rigazzi’s balked at the idea of a signature drink, instead offering a “signature drink glass.” Fill the 32-ounce “goblet” with whatever drink you choose.

Rigazzi’s serves lunch and dinner on select days. For a real taste of Italy, order one of the classic Italian entrees – the baked ravioli or the beef tortellini.
