Anthonino's Taverna (2225 Macklind Avenue; 314-773-4455) is celebrating its tenth anniversary with an upgrade. The Italian restaurant will undergo renovations over the next several weeks to expand seating and update the decor. We spoke to co-owner Anthony Scarato about what's next for Anthonino's.
"We occupy an old bar that we've turned into a restaurant, but it's so small that we can't accommodate our guests' needs," Scarato tells us. "We hope to take on parties and bigger groups and family gatherings in a more efficient matter, with more seating and a better kitchen. After ten years, we felt it was time to do something."
