“Excellent food and service. Best Italian in the neighborhood. Would have been 5 stars but they really need some type of window covering. It was around 5:30 or so and the sun was beating in my side of the tables eyes. You seriously couldn't see anything. Other than that, which lasted about 45 minutes, the place was perfect.“

“The Bull’s Eye Calzone is mouth watering and satisfyingMarinated streak, spinach, garlic Mushrooms, balsamic onions, garlic Herb cheese, fontina, garlic oil.With French Onion Sauce on the side.I have found the best way to eat a Calzone is to cut it in half and then eat the corner and leave a slice worth to take home because they have well served portion'sAnd the Caesar Salad was magnificent I love me a great Caesar’s dressing and it was perfectly creamy and well mixed withRomaine Lettuce, Parmesan cheese, Pesto Croutons, and Red OnionsDon’t got get that Caesar dressingGo you will enjoy your experience they have delicious sodas.“

“Don't care for the burnt taste that wood fired pizza has. Other than that. all food on their menu is very good. Have had their salads, sandwiches, meat ball and spaghetti, tortellini and other items that were all very good. Their home made deserts are wonderful. Their side room would be great for small gatherings. Service was excellent.“

“Always a good meal here. Rustic atmosphere simple menu, but everything is prepared to meet St. Louis Hill Italian standards. Neopolitan style pizza, bread and olive oil. Great house wine value, also good selection of wines by the bottle.UPDATE: This is one of our favorite restaurants in Edwardsville. It hits the sweet spot of consistently excellent Italian food without pretension or fuss. The service is always great. I don’t hesitate to take my St. Louis friends here. I know they will love it, too.“

“I liked the food. Thought the pizza was delicious. I loved the cheese. Ravioli and the salad was good as well. My wife on the other hand did not like the place. Her stomach hurt very bad after eating here. I would eat it again but don't think I could come back with the wife.“

“I had a very good expirence there ....my family got done with a funeral and we decided to go put to eat afterwards....I got spaghetti and the rest of my family member had pizzas....I would definitely go back to joesany time I'm in the area....thank you very much...“

“The atmosphere and service are stellar! I dine in on occasion, but regularly do carry out. The cajun chicken pasta is my absolute favorite. While I don't think the carry out portions are the same as the in-house portions, it could just be plating magic that makes it appear to be a bigger portion. Sit on the patio if given the chance. ❤️“

“We love this fazoli's location. Food and service are always great. The interior dining experience is always well managed. We love the fried cheese balls and they have wonderful lunch specials. Annabel was our server today and she was awesome!!“

“First two times, pizza was excellent! Third time a little soggy. Will still go back and try again! Fried green beans were really good, too. Red sauce pasta was a hit with our family as well.Wheelchair accessibility: Wide door, no steps. Room to maneuver. Tables, table/booth and some booths.“

“The server was very nice and friendly. The food was delicious but a tad bit pricey, I got the roasted ravioli and when I went they were doing the 1950 prices and it was the most worth it deal there. The Alfredo sauce on the other dishes was delicious as well.“
