About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Good for groups
  • Neighborhood gem
Red Gravy offers upscale casual modern Italian fare.
Chef/Owner Eric Brenner spent his first decade in the industry inside Italian kitchens. Talking up St. Louis' wide-ranging Italian eatery scene, which gets as specific as regional specialties, he says he's wanted to have a place like this since he was 18.
"We're going to start very simple and accessible," he says, "we'll play to the crowd and start a dialogue, then grow the menu with community input."
"Simple," includes dishes like his tomato bisque, with which only has five ingredients. "It's all about the perfect balance. And that gets back to the essence of good Italian food: quality ingredients, very few, in perfect balance." Other examples include his St. Louis-style, thin-crust pizza, best compared to a flat-bread.

    The tomato soup tastes like canned ravioli. The bread is tough, and the spicy dish has a moderate flavor that resembles spicy pesto sauce. The Italian sausage meat was of low quality, tasting more like chunks of hot dog. Very honest review. Service on the other hand was pretty good.

    As always amazing. The food was running a tiny bit behind and our server let us know immediately and was asking what she could do to help. Genuinely great wait staff and food as always

    I've lived in the Springs for over 10 years and never made it to this gem until now when I took my sister for her birthday. She wanted Italian, so I decided to see who else was in town besides chains and pizza places, and this one popped up on the map. I think it was the name that made me think it wasn't much of anything in the past. I've passed it frequently to go to other restaurants on the block, but never really glanced in the window. Definitely understated! The food was delicious. I had the Chicken Marsala (sans mushrooms since I don't like them), which was a different interpretation than what I've had anywhere else, and it was phenomenal. I also had the tiramisu creme brulee - wonderful flavor and the burnt sugar topping was toasted to perfection, however the consistency was a little thicker than I prefer for creme brulee but thankfully not as dense as a flan like some places pass off as creme brulee. For my sister's birthday, the restaurant gave her a piece of the blueberry butter cake, which was also quite good but a little on the sweet side. For dinner, she had a beef tortellini dish and enjoyed hers, too. I definitely look forward to returning!

    This was our first time having dinner at Red Gravy, and it won’t be our last. The food, service (Jazz was an outstanding server) and atmosphere were all excellent! The Blue Room in the back is a more cozy and quiet room for dining than the main dining room, so request it if that’s what you’re looking for.
