About
Think a family deli can't be a gay-friendly spot? Adriana's on the Hill proves otherwise. This Italian-inspired lunch-only cafe is run by Adriana Fazio and two of her daughters, with extended family helping out. You order at one window and pick up at another, a classic deli system that keeps things moving. The menu covers Sicilian-American salads, pizza, pasta, and sandwiches, plus homemade soups and daily specials. Beer and wine are available by the glass, and the atmosphere is casual and welcoming. Yelp confirms dog-friendly outdoor seating, and reviewers consistently note how gay-friendly it is.
The vibe here is all about feeling like you've come home for lunch. Adriana herself is the soul of the place, making everyone feel welcome. Saturdays are especially lively, so that's your best bet for a fuller crowd. Hours are tight: Tuesday through Saturday, 10:30 a.m. to 3:00 p.m., closed Sunday and Monday. No full bar, but beer is usually available and wine on occasion. Regulars check Facebook for daily specials before heading over.
Adriana's is in Saint Louis's Southside neighborhood, near Hereford Street. It's a residential area with a mix of local businesses.
