The 25-year-old former Georgetown star is signed through the 2027-28 MLS season with an option for 2028-29.
"We're excited to bring Dante to St. Louis and believe he will add quality and competition to our group," sporting director Corey Wray said. "He is a versatile player who can impact games in both defense and in midfield, and at 6-foot-4, he brings an imposing physical presence while still being technically clean on the ball.
"He's still young but has gained valuable experience from Scotland and European competition, which will help him contribute right away."
Polvara tallied six goals and seven assists in 93 appearances since making his pro debut with Aberdeen in 2022. He helped the club win the Scottish Cup last season.
St. Louis sent up to $150,000 in general allocation money to New York City FC to acquire his right of first refusal. NYCFC also retained a percentage of any potential future transfer or trade.
