You don't have to drive far to experience the best pasta in Missouri.

We are lucky here in the Tri-States to have an amazing Italian restaurant, but if you want to try a restaurant out of the Tri-States 24/7 Tempo says this restaurant is the best place to have a plate of pasta.

Best Pasta in Missouri

You don't have to go all the way to Kansas City or even Chicago to get a good plate of pasta. According to 24/7 Tempo, you can find the best pasta restaurant in St. Louis called Casa Don Alfonso.

There you will find Italian family traditions from the atmosphere of the restaurant to the cuisine. Located in the Ritz Carlton, St. Louis you can try their famous Caprese or need carpaccio. Don't forget the dessert.

As much as I would enjoy the lunch/dinner menu that the restaurant offers I would indulge in the dessert menu. I would try at least two (maybe even three) desserts.

So remember this restaurant when you take a mini-vacay to St. Louis or maybe want to try a new place when you visit. You might find a new favorite place.
