  Filomena's Italian Kitchen

  Best kept secret at one time in Glendale...but the word is now finally getting out and spreading. This is my favorite place to order takeout Italian in my neighborhood bar none. My family of 4 has had the Spaghetti and Marinara Sauce w/ added meatballs Special several times over the last year. Enough left overs for a few more meals always. It is always fresh and the marinara sauce is to die for in my opinion. Filomena's sauce is so tasty and robust that you can tell they certainly use special tomatoes and only all fresh and authentic ingredients.(I hear it is a family Silician secret recipe) and is daily made and slow cooked all day.) I have had their arancini which were excellent and both the famous Roast Beef Sandwich with au jus as well as the Filomena Special sandwich on several occasions. Both are tasty with the Roast Beef on garlic bread being my all time fav sandwich. On my last visit, I decided to give their lasagna a try. Holy cow...I was not disappointed! Once again some of the best lasagna that I've had in St. Louis. Did I mention that the owners are friendly and seem very in tune with their customer base, too. The nice lady who works the cash register is always offering suggestions and very accomodating as you wait for your carryout. Next vist, I'm trying a different entree and their Italian wedding soup. A bonus... I see that you can come in with your own bottle of wine and sit in dining room without a cork fee to enjoy with a meal. I will defintely have to do it one day soon! For now I'm happy as clam getting take out for my family and will keep recommending this little gem to many of my friends and neighbors. In my opinion, it might be a close contender to some of the best Italian food St. Louis has to offer. Please give them a try and see what you think.
