Bartolino’s Twin Oaks: first look at the modern Italian restaurant in West County

The third St. Louis-area Bartolino’s restaurant opened in late October at 1304 Big Bend Road in Twin Oaks by the Saracino family, offering Italian dining that feels like home. With roots firmly planted by their parents’ philosophy – “Cook good food and give plenty. Basta!” – Bartolino’s Twin Oaks delivers a welcoming and generous experience.

The new restaurant serves up beloved Italian classics alongside fresh seafood and prime meats. This menu is slightly different from Bartolino’s South & Bartolino’s Osteria, with dinner currently available and plans to roll out lunch service in the near future. Guests rave about the fried calamari with flash-fried spinach, while entrées like chicken Michael and cavatelli alla vodka with the signature pink sauce never disappoint. The full bar features carefully crafted cocktails, highlighted by Michael’s Smoked Manhattan and an espresso martini perfect for a nightcap. Wine lovers can explore the expanded wine selection housed in the dedicated wine room.

Spanning around 6,600 square feet with seating for up to 250 guests, the space harmonizes modern and timeless design. Rich blue and gold accents, white stone tables, and a lively bar set the scene for an upbeat atmosphere. They will have live music on the weekends in the bar area, adding even more energy to the space.

Hours are currently 4 to 10 p.m. daily with lunch service to be added soon. Follow them on Instagram @bartolinos_stl for updates.
