Weldon Spring Restaurant Guide

The Arcobasso family restaurant began in 1972 in Dellwood, Missouri. My parents established a warm, welcoming atmosphere with some of my Nana Arcobasso’s wonderful homemade recipes. My father, Tom, added his own special dishes and some dashing charm to welcome customers to his fine establishment. When my mother, Judy, was not at home taking care of my sisters and myself, she would be right up front with him greeting customers with her own class and elegance. My mom’s sister, Pattie, has been with us through all the years and is a very hard-working and dependable lady. She brought her own quirky charm to our customers, and they love her, and so do we.

In 1997, Dad and Mom decided it would be a good idea to build a new restaurant in St. Charles. A lot of our north county customers moved west and it seemed sensible to all of us to follow their lead. After 8 years in St. Charles, my parents decided it was time to retire. We were all a bit saddened by the thought of that. But knowing how hard they worked over the years, we knew that they deserved to relax and enjoy life and each other. So, we closed our doors, in the hopes that one day a new door would open.

My parents are very happy being retired and love being able to spend more time with their girls and grandchildren. Their first born is my beautiful sister Sherri. She has two children. Danielle is a smart, drop-dead-gorgeous young lady. Blake is an easy-going, funny and very handsome gentleman. Chrissy is the baby of the daughters (still is!). She is beautiful inside and out. She has three children with her handsome husband Jeff Ayers. Nicole is the oldest, she is a beautiful, sweet and caring little lady. Dominique is the middle child, and she is very affectionate, silly and gorgeous! Spencer, the baby of the family, is a loving boy, full of energy and spunk, with a face that will stop many a female in her tracks. Some of the best days of my life have been spent with my five beautiful nieces and nephews. They ALL make me very proud!

After two years of not having a restaurant, I could not take it anymore, and I decided the Arcobasso tradition must continue! The restaurant business has been my whole life and I love it.

My promise to you is that I will do my very best to continue in the tradition of my wonderful parents and make them proud, and hopefully, I will make a lot of customers very happy. I look forward to renewing old friendships with previous customers, while welcoming new friendships with new customers. I want to thank you all for your patronage and friendship in the past and in the years to come. I hope you will feel at home here.

Ciao, Toni Arcobasso
