Great little Italian place. Small parking lot but don’t let that change your mind about eating here. Great food and friendly staff. The house dressing on the salad is a balsamic vinaigrette and is fantastic. The new flat bread pizza are really good and perfect for one.

Sweetest small home cooking Italian place run by a grandmother and her granddaughter – wouldn’t you want to be in business with your granny? I know I would. Absolutely delicious Italian food. I had arancini and eggplant parmesan. I keep hearing about arancini – on Sopranos, in books, but I could never find them at Italian restaurants! You can imagine my excitement when I found them at Filomena’s!

We live close by, so we love to pick up food to-go, especially when guests are in town! The service is always top-notch, the pasta incredible… but this last visit might have turned us off forever.
The side salads were about 1/3 rotten lettuce, and mine even had a bonus hair inside. Gross.

Was not even close to good. Lasagna was definitely reheated. Crusty on the edges. Rest of food was bland. Pictures look good on other reviews but that isn’t what showed up at our table. Definitely high on pricing for what we got. A real disappointment. Won’t try again. First and last time.

Well above average food. Great value. Nice local owners. Dog friendly staff at take out window. This is a great chance to get really good Italian food and avoid the “chains”. Chicken Parm and Chef salad are excellent.

I love this restaurant. They are well known for their catering services, but I personally love just walking in, ordering, and enjoying a sit down meal in their dining space. It is a lovely interior with cute tables. Great for any party size. Great food served fast!

They claim to be the best among “inexpensive” Italian restaurants. One way to deliver on that promise is to offer good food with no frills. Another way is to serve brown, rotted lettuce in to-go orders, hoping no one finds out until the meal gets home. I posted a picture…the whole salad was brown, limp, and rotted. The person who packed it had to know what they were doing and simply didn’t care.
We ate some of the rest of meal…the chicken was rubbery. I know you hear that and think, “where does that saying come from?” You overcook the chicken.
To be fair, the lasagna was OK and the garlic bread was good.
But it’s awfully hard to trust a place that will serve actual rotted lettuce…and not just a few bits. We’re not squeamish; we can pick around a brown bit here or there. Who cares? But a whole container of brown, spoiled greens–it’s very weird.

I unfortunately moved away from the St. Louis area 3 years ago, but any time I come back to visit I make my way over to Filomena’s and order some arrancini because there is nothing else that compares. Enormous balls of pure deliciousness.
Carmelina’s roast beef sandwich is excellent, and I don’t know if I’ve ever felt the need to order anything else!

Pasta is really good and the price is right. The no-frills dining room isn’t much to write home about, but they do takeout too. This has landed on the takeout rotation for when we have friends coming over but we don’t want to cook.

Filomena’s is a great place for lunch or dinner. The Filomena’s special sandwich was very good and very filling. The Beef Ravioli were great, a generous serving in a tangy marinara sauce. Arancini are a house specialty that you just don’t find at other restaurants and should not be missed. The place is small, nothing fancy but Filomena’s is well worth the visit.
