50+ Years of Cooking
For more than five decades, Fernanda Polesel has prepared traditional Italian cuisine for friends and family. When Villa Antonio opened, the family knew she would become the heart and soul of its kitchen, a role she continues to hold today.
The Heart of the Kitchen
It Started with Fernanda
Fernanda, or Nanda as she’s known around here, is the heart and soul of our kitchen. She has been preparing traditional Italian cuisine for friends and family alike for more than 50 years. She has brought her recipes into our kitchen and put her unique spin on some American classics, creating a menu that incorporates the freshest and highest-quality local ingredients. Nanda oversees our kitchen staff as they prepare everything from scratch to create a culinary experience that reflects the same care and craftsmanship we put into our wines and craft beers.

Family cooking is the heart of Villa Antonio's kitchen.
A Family Kitchen
More Than Recipes. A Way of Cooking.
Our wood-fired pizzas anchor our menu, and they are each carefully crafted with handmade dough fermented and stretched in-house, Nanda's zesty pizza sauce, and a blend of mozzarella and Provel cheese for that distinctive St. Louis twist. Alongside our pizzas, you'll find sharable snacks like arancini and toasted ravioli, hearty sandwiches, salads featuring fresh local produce, and snack boards that are perfect for sharing with friends. Everything on our menu is crafted using Nanda’s own recipes and made with the care we’d put into feeding our own family.
"Make as much as possible from scratch, and start with the best ingredients possible."
The Villa Antonio Kitchen Philosophy
What Scratch-Made Means Here
01
Our Own Sauces
Sauces are prepared in-house rather than simply opened and served.
02
Our Own Sausage
We grind own sausage as part of its scratch-made approach.
03
Prepared Here
The goal is to prepare as much as possible in-house for the people sitting at the table.
Nanda's Kitchen
Simple Principles Behind the Food
01
Make It Here
Prepare as much as possible from scratch inside the Villa kitchen.
02
Use Good Ingredients
Start with the best ingredients possible before anything reaches the table.
03
Feed People Well
Keep the spirit of cooking for friends and family at the center of the experience.
The result is a menu that includes classic wood-fired pizza to wings and sliders without losing the scratch-kitchen philosophy behind it.
