This quote is from a recent posting on the St. Louis Post-Dispatch website;
Ten St. Louis restaurant milestones of the decade; 2000 to 2009 by Joe Bonwich, Post-Dispatch Restaurant Critic and Food Writer.
….”2002 Bye-bye Fio. Fio Antognini and his wife Lisa were generally recognized as the pioneers of nouvelle cuisine in St. Louis, first openinig in the old Westroads (now Galleria) shopping center in 1982. They’ll also always be remembered not just for terrifically innovative cooking, but also for breaking nouvelle’s reputation for not enouch food, by offering unliminted seconds.“…..

For the ultimate private dining event, please go directly to,”Private Dining”. After over thirty-five years of professional cooking experience, twenty of those years as chef/owner of one of St. Louis’ best restaurants (see the “reviews”), I have decided to share my expertise, and love for cooking, focusing my passion on a variety of possibilities for unique culinary experiences. I am thrilled that you’re visiting my site, giving you an idea of my background (see “About Fio”) and experience, while exploring possible future journeys. Whether you are looking for the ultimate in private dining in your home or at the location of your choice, or for more professional support, like restaurant consulting, or developing a “private label” line of sauces, or “ready to eat” meals, I guarantee guiding a memorable culinary journey, to its ultimate destination. “In the true gastronomic sense, the culinary journey is the destination.” Fio Antognini
