Description

St. Louis has approximately 1 million Italian restaurants, but nothing like Acero. Here you don't choose between the red sauce or the white, and you won't find Provel on anything. Sample salumi from the nation's top artisanal producers, or share a quartino of Amarone wine with a special someone. Pasta dishes, especially, are exquisite - small portions crafted with incredible attention to detail; polenta is poured tableside onto a marble slab and then topped with one of several sumptuous sauces. You're meant to order in the traditional Italian style - antipasto, pasta, then entrée -- but there are no rules except to celebrate the sheer joy of good food and wine.

  • 2011 | Best Italian Restaurant (Not Cheap)

    This town has an abundance of red-sauce Italian joints (to put it gently). And if you're in the mood for simple, hearty food like someone's Italian American mama used to make, that's not a bad thing. Not a bad thing at all. But sometimes you've got your palate dialed up for something more, shall we say, refined. Not better, necessarily, but existing on an entirely different plane (albeit one that would knock Mom's socks off). Fortunately, that plane is well within reach. In fact it's... More »

  • 2010 | Best Italian Restaurant (Not Cheap)

    There is no Italian dish in St. Louis any better than the egg raviolo at Acero. There is no dish any less complex: a single raviolo surrounding the deep orange yolk of a farm-fresh egg. This simplicity, this beauty, goes a long way in explaining why, three years after it opened, Acero remains unique among the area's many (so very many) Italian restaurants. Owner Jim Fiala wants to take us beyond red sauce and white sauce, gloppy cheese and dried pasta no different from the Barilla we boil at... More »

  • 2009 | Best Prix Fixe

    Despite three successful restaurants -- Liluma, the Crossing and Acero -- chef Jim Fiala seems to maintain a low profile. For whatever reason, word of his $25 prix fixe dinner at Acero seems to be a secret, too, known only to foodies and acolytes of his mini-fiefdom. It hurts a little (full disclosure) to let the rooster out of the barn, but Fiala deserves it. He offers the set menu nightly, including weekends. The portions for the three courses tend toward generous, if not... More »

  • 2007 | Best Italian Restaurant (Not Cheap)

    Step through the front door of Acero and you might think you've left sleepy downtown Maplewood for one of New York City's hippest 'hoods. The unflappable hostess telling you there will be a wait. The bustling, black-clad waiters. The noise. Yeah, Acero's loud, but everyone's talking about the food -- Italian cuisine unlike anything else you'll see in St. Louis. Start with salumi from some of the nation's best artisanal producers. Then indulge in small but oh-so-satisfying portions of... More »

  • 2007 | Best Wine List in a Restaurant

    Acero's wine list isn't comprehensive. Every wine offered at this fantastic new Italian restaurant hails from Italy. That's the beauty, though. Rather than force you to choose from a bewildering variety of varietals and producers, or allow you to fall back on a reliable favorite, Acero's list focuses your attention on the extraordinary diversity of Italian wine. You'll find wines you know: pinot grigio, prosecco and even Chianti. You'll find wines you've always wanted to try: super-Tuscans,... More »
