Yeah TonyG the hill is fantastic. I hate everything about St. Louis except The Hill
. So many great restaurants and bakeries and has probably looked the same as it did 50 years ago. You'd never think out of all the cities, St. Louis would have the best Little Italy!
I don't know if its the best Little Italy, but it certainly has not changed. They have a good, strong neighborhood association that has been vigilant about retaining its character and traditions. Several restaurants still have Italian language (and English) menus. We get mail orders from Vivianno's (an old, and very good Italian grocery
http://www.shopviviano.com/) since we can find the good, authentic stuff here in Texas.
LOL Nicky, why do you hate everything about St Lou except the Hill? There are other parts of the city that are fantastic - cental west end, the park, soulard, etc.
