*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.

    Despite making a reservation, our table was not ready for us. We were encouraged to instead sit in the lounge area but it was very awkward seating (my feet had to go to one side of the table and not directly under). It was disappointing and we were the ones asked to do this. We are a guest at the hotel too. That said, the food was excellent and the rest of the service was very good. Still it left a bad impression.

    The Ritz is always lovely. Brunch buffet was a little lacking today. Items low or out. For $42 should be full, hot and better items. Ambiance and brunch cocktails were awesome.

    Service was not as expected and not what we had previous experiences there. Octopus was very chewy and over charred. Food was just alright. Did not live up to its price and hype. They also had a 90 min kick out they were implementing which was very distasteful so much we will probably never return. How do you tell a table to leave when they are still ordering drinks and maybe want dessert? We came here for our 15 year anniversary and unfortunately were disappointed.

    We were not told until two hours before the reservation that it had been routed to the bar not the restaurant, so we were left completely unable to change our plans or find a nice place to go. The food was ok at best and our options were limited to pizza and salads. I had booked this as a special occasion for a family member and was extremely disappointed with their lack of attention. They did not try to accommodate us and basically said we could leave.

    This place knows more about bread than any place I’ve ever been. 10/10 delicious and fresh every time. Paris was a kind and attentive waiter and made sure I was never without warm bread.

    Atmosphere was great, Santa experience with the face paint was fun for my daughter. The buffet however, subpar for the price paid. Food was cold and we were a bit surprised lattes and cappuccinos weren’t included in the cost, I understand alcohol being extra but for $500 for 4 people to eat (and my 5 year old ate 3 chicken strips in total) . This was our second time booking Brunch with Santa and will be our last, at least for any buffet style events. A shame, really, as the Santa and Mrs. Clause couple were just perfect and so super sweet. Had high hopes but unfortunately I cannot recommend a buffet style meal here.
