Marconi Mercato
2030 Marconi Ave, St. Louis, MO
Crema's Take
“This Italian market and restaurant in St. Louis pulls off the rare trick of being both a quick espresso stop and a destination for serious, from-scratch cooking—think lobster manicotti and handmade tagliatelle alongside your morning cortado. The staff genuinely seem to enjoy their work, with reviewers consistently praising the warm, attentive service that feels personal rather than performative. If you're after authentic Italian food and thoughtfully made coffee in one unpretentious spot, this is the place locals keep coming back to.”

Our service was amazing and the wine list was on point. We had arancini which was delicious and tagliatelle bolognese. Also very good. We prefer a savory sauce. This was a good bolognese sauce slightly sweet but not overly so with some parm blended into the sauce base. Very good. Portions are very very generous. The server really brought our experience home and did an excellent job.
I had a fantastic experience on each of my two visits here. The sliders are a must for an appetizer; they're juicy and delicious. I've gotten the lobster roll and the seafood risotto, both great, but I'm excited to try more dishes on future visits. Staff is always welcoming and open to answering any questions!
Our waitress was absolutely wonderful. Very sweet, helped us with the menu and recommendations. Chatted with us a bit, overall very pleasant. The food was very authentic, the best I have had in years. We had the tagliatelli, bison burger, classic burger, and hanger steak. Everything was cooked perfectly. We will definitely be back
This place is a must if you are in the St. Louis area. The pasta is absolutely exquisite. Max was our server and he was very attentive. The food was very delicious and they even sell snack items and hoodies and shirts.
Yum! Yum! Yummmmm!!!!! 😋 If you make it to this establishment and like lobster, you have to try their lobster manicotti! It was absolutely amazing!!! Such nice atmosphere. The service was incredible. What a great addition to The Hill. Can’t wait to go back!
