Tony's is a place where St. Louisans have celebrated special occasions for more than 50 years. It is also the place where society, from local corporate tycoons to visiting sports celebrities, comes to bask in the good vibes, the great food and the all-encompassing hospitality of owner Vince Bommarito. Tony's has a muted, contemporary feel, while still exuding comfort and a modern sense of Italia. Tony's is famous for its steaks, veal, seafood and pasta. Try the Lobster Albanello, a decades-long favorite of lobster chunks in a mushroom sauce over pasta. The wine list is lengthy and can be very expensive.
