"We may receive a commission on purchases made from links. When it comes to blurring the line between food and art, few cuisines achieve that quite like Italian. A seemingly endless variety of pastas and sauces combine to create plates that are like a hug passed through the generations, and there's no denying that the worst day can be made a little bit better with a hearty Italian meal."
"In order to compile our list, we started by heading to social media and looking for the places that locals in each state counted among their favorites and recommended to visitors. To narrow things down, we looked for places that were proud of their scratch-made pastas, sauces, and breads, as well as those lauded for authenticity and a friendly, welcoming atmosphere that makes customers feel like family."
"Charlie Gitto's is anchoring one of the best Little Italy neighborhoods in the U.S., located in St. Louis's The Hill. It also has a location in Maryland Heights. Reservations are a must; expect a loud and lively atmosphere, the kind of lobster bisque that gets mentioned in rave reviews, top-tier veal Parmigiana, and delicious toasted ravioli. The service is perfect, and the feel is old-school traditional for a true V"
Italian cuisine blends food and art through countless pastas and sauces passed down across generations, capable of improving a bad day with a hearty meal. Some pasta dishes are quick weeknight staples while others require complex, time-consuming techniques that challenge home cooks. The best Italian restaurants in each U.S. state were identified using locals' recommendations on social media, prioritizing establishments known for scratch-made pastas, sauces, and breads, authentic recipes, and welcoming, family-style atmospheres. National recognition and awards were considered secondary bonuses. Examples include Pizzeria Bianco in Arizona and Charlie Gitto's anchoring St. Louis's The Hill.
