A Taste of Italy on The Hill
“In The Hill, every street tells a story—and every meal feels like coming home to Italy, right in the heart of St. Louis.” -Lofts on Washington
Tucked just south of Forest Park lies The Hill, a storied neighborhood that’s been the heart of St. Louis’s Italian community for generations. Here, red-white-and-green flags hang proudly, and the air is perfumed with garlic, basil, and fresh-baked bread. Delight your taste buds at classic trattorias, bakeries, and delicatessens—many run by the same families for decades.

No visit to The Hill is complete without sampling toasted ravioli, a local invention said to have been created when a ravioli was accidentally dropped into a fryer. Order it piping hot with marinara and pair it with an ice-cold beverage. Wander the area’s quaint streets to explore markets and specialty shops, where you’ll find everything from imported olive oils to handmade cannoli.
