*2024 WINE SPECTATOR BEST OF AWARD OF EXCELLENCE*

Renown Italian restaurateur Mario Laccarino is pleased to invite guests for a taste of the Sorrento Coast at Casa Don Alfonso. Open for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and Sunday brunch, the menu tells the story of traditions passed down for generations in the family homes of southern Italy. These recipes come from a magical place, ripe with the culture and beauty of the Mediterranean. Alongside an unmistakable commitment to hospitality and service, Casa Don Alfonso brings hand-crafted flavors and carefully chosen ingredients with every bite.

Family of Iaccarino honors the culinary heritage of the Campania region, with seasonal ingredients that closely resemble the sun-kissed produce harvested at the Iaccarino family’s farm. Fresh, handmade pastas create an edible narrative of the Iaccarino legacy, while whimsical desserts transport guests to Naples’ nostalgic bakeries.

From Sorrento to St. Louis, we look forward to welcoming you soon.

    Wonderful dining experience. We did a little staycation and redeemed some Marriott points for a night over winter break. Excellent food and service. Juan Pablo and Troy were attentive, kind, and wonderful servers. Can’t go wrong with the Ritz.

    Really, really expected more. Server messed up order for soup. Did correct it and not charge me for it, but should not have happened in the first place. Recipe on main course was tasty, but a little on the tepid side?  Entree almost, almost cold.  I had to aggressively pursue drink refills which was surprising considering how little traffic in the restaurant on New Year’s Day.

    We have been semi-regulars at Don Alfonso. Not any more... Had an early seating for New Years Eve. Prefix menu with wine pairings. We were early so they weren't in the weeds yet but the service was still awful. We had to ask four times for sparkling water. Wine pairings were brought LONG after the corresponding course. Food was sub-par. Zero hospitality. I have never been so disappointed.

    Just ok...not much selection. Pasta and entree were worst thing on the buffet. Service was very good with JohnPaul being an excellent server but in my opinion skip the buffet and go out for a good brunch.
