Acero

7266 Manchester Rd

Maplewood, MO 63143

314-644-1790
Website

St. Louis has approximately 1 million Italian restaurants, but nothing like Acero. Here you don't choose between the red sauce or the white, and you won't find Provel on anything. Sample salumi from the nation's top artisanal producers, or share a quartino of Amarone wine with a special someone. Pasta dishes, especially, are exquisite — small portions crafted with incredible attention to detail; polenta is poured tableside onto a marble slab and then topped with one of several sumptuous sauces. You're meant to order in the traditional Italian style — antipasto, pasta, then entrée -- but there are no rules except to celebrate the sheer joy of good food and wine.
