Quattro Trattoria + Pizzeria at The Westin St. Louis

About

Located right across the street from Busch Stadium. This upscale but affordable modern Italian eatery is on the first floor of the Westin St. Louis, in the space that previously held former Clark Street Grill. After a major renovation, the restaurant seats 140 and is about two-thirds larger than before. Items such as pasta, sandwiches, salads and hand-tossed pizzas baked in a 700-degree stone-fired oven are available. The "Salsiccia di Pollo," for example, is pappardelle pasta, chicken, sun-dried tomato, sausage, asparagus, white wine and Parmesan. But the star of the show at Quattro is the signature sixteen-ounce meatball: the Polpette. This sucker is huge. It is topped with tomato sauce and herbed ricotta and served with crostini made with bread from St. Louis’ Companion Bakery. It's a big enough appetizer for at least four people to share.
