The rigatoni at The Clover and The Bee in Webster Groves is the unfussy, reliably delicious comfort food we crave. Fat noodles swim in a creamy, spicy tomato-vodka sauce with fruity heat from Calabrian chilies. The simple dish gets a luxurious upgrade with a generous amount of lobster meat. Order it and be the envy of your table.
