Organization Overview
Chris’ Pancake and Dining in South City has proudly served St. Louis for 25 years, which is why they are known for the “Best Pancakes” in St. Louis by the Riverfront Times. They have also received awards from various other media outlets including the Sauce Magazine, A-O-L City Guide and more. Their award-winning work is because of their philosophy to “provide a dining experience that welcomes each guest to be part of their family.” They do this by providing flexible and friendly service and by the quality of ingredients that go into their pancakes, omelets, french toast, hamburgers, and all of their other menu items. Chris’ Pancakes and Dining is committed to serving the Best Breakfast in St. Louis.
But it hasn’t always been just Chris’ Pancakes. Chris hails from the Bartolino’s legacy, which has bred three successful restaurants in the St. Louis area It all started with Bart and Roseanne Saracino. Coming to America in 1954 from Italy, Bart met Roseanne Saracino and her family. Together, the families opened a chain of authentic Italian restaurants under the name of Bartolino’s. Bart worked closely with his in-laws, Rose and Nick LaFata, to run these successful businesses, meanwhile his wife Roseanne was at home raising their four sons – John, Bart, Mike and Chris.
He expanded the locations to include Bartolino’s Osteria, which is located in the Drury Inn and Suites at Forest Park. Also, Bartolino’s South opened in 1982 in South County at 5914 South Lindbergh.
