NOW HERE'S AN IDEA!
Concetta's origin comes
from the word conception. When on
vacation, we throw a lot of ideas around.
Where to go, what to see, a place to eat, etc. If we are away for several days, a meal at an
Italian restaurant is usually in the mix.
Here lately, though, we have had a trouble making that happen. After our drive around quite a bit of the St.
Louis area yesterday looking for this type of cuisine, we continued our exploration
today for lunch. We were headed to St.
Charles for an afternoon of shopping and in my GPS search, I found a place
called Concetta's
When we arrived, the
restaurant had the appearance of an older home which has been converted. The entrance was in the rear. We were greeted by a hostess who seemed to be
a little cold and indifferent. We both
looked at each other when we found out that this same lady would also be our
server. However, she seemed to warm up
after awhile when taking our order and made sure we were well taken care of,
The restaurant seemed a
little dark which I guess that's what they call ambiance but the lights could
have been turned up just a notch without ruining this effect. It was good to see, on the menu, that they
had 1/2 portions after having such a huge breakfast. I have become quite fond of toasted ravioli,
so we ordered that as an appetizer since we were having the small size entrees. They were quite good and I especially liked
the flavor of the marina that was served with them. Gary had the onion soup which wasn't anything
special. He also ordered the chicken
tortellini, and I stayed with the basics of spaghetti and meatballs. I found my meal to be a little on the bland
side. It just needed something, more
oregano or cheese or something. Gary's
plate, on the other hand, was calling my name and I took a bite of his
tortellini. Boy, if we ever come back or
maybe even at a different Italian restaurant, that's what I'm going to
try. It was very, very tasty.
Our bread basket, as
well as our soda glasses were kept full which matched our tummys on the way
out. All in all, it was an enjoyable
lunch.
