“I can’t recommend Liliana’s enough! They were very accommodating for a surprise party and made it an easy choice to host it there. Fantastic food and very quick serving time. The staff was awesome and our server Erin was the absolute best! She went above and beyond and made the night special. Our family will definitely be coming back because of her!“

“Everything!!!Great dinner, drinks and atmosphere! Bartenders are on point!“

“This place is incredible, and I understand why making a reservation is such a hassle.

When we arrived at our designated time, we were promptly seated and greeted by our server, Erica. She was incredibly friendly and helpful, suggesting dishes that we might enjoy the most during our visit. For our first course, we had risotto balls accompanied by a refreshing salad. Both dishes were bursting with fresh flavors and textures.

For our second course, we indulged in a delightful brick oven pizza topped with pasta. After savoring both courses, we never felt bloated, as all the ingredients were imported from Italy and tasted absolutely divine. It was as if we were on an Italian vacation, dining at a restaurant.

To top off our meal, we enjoyed cannolis and gelato, accompanied by a refreshing Americano coffee. These desserts were incredibly refreshing and satisfying.

What truly set this place apart was the ambiance, the thoughtful gesture of providing separate silverware for each course, and Erica’s exceptional ability to engage us in meaningful conversations.

This place is absolutely worth the wait. You won’t find food like this anywhere else, unless you visit Italy. I highly recommend it; as an Italian myself, it reminded me of my Nonna’s cooking.

Arrivederci e a presto!“

“Dining at Mia Sorella was a great experience. The service is wonderful and everyone seems genuine and friendly. All the food tastes fresh and made with quality ingredients.“

“The staff has our hearts, the food has our bellies! All around an extraordinary experience for myself and my family visiting in from IL. Thanks so much to your excellent team at Fratelli’s! We’ll most certainly be back and refer others to forego the experience. We are thankful for you all! Best, -Kasey“

“The staff were friendly, the food was hot and amazing, and the place was super clean. Stopped in for a meal while traveling back to Chicago from Louisiana and decided to dine inside. I have been to other Fazoli’s but this location was just pure perfection. Great job with this location and the staff!“

“Tony and family always make you feel like family. From his table side presence and his beautiful mother leading an amazing team in the kitchen. Anthony our server was great and knowledgeable of all the dishes. We started with the calamari and fried spinach and a perfectly spiced marinara sauce. We each had the separate salads I had the Italian chop salad, and my girl had the Caprese salad both were absolutely amazing. I had the Benedetto's Farfalle with spicy pink sauce and added shrimp 🤌we also had the perfectly cooked and breaded Chicken Spiedini served over risotto. Timing is everything when you have multiple dishes everything was perfectly prepared.. 🤌🤌🤌🍷“

“First time diners! We were welcomed immediately by a friendly staff. The atmosphere was quaint and inviting. The food was flawless and the service exemplary. Joe and Diane were extremely good to us. We will be back! Thank you for an amazing meal!“

“As always, I absolutely love the food here. As someone born and raised in St. Charles, the pizza here always fills me with a nostalgic glee. While the prices have gone up since I was a kid, the staff and atmosphere make up for that alone, while the food makes it even better. I heavily recommend this pizza to everyone, in and especially outside the state!“

“Great food and fantastic cocktails! Had a great meal.“

“The large salads are large. My rookie mistake was ordering a large salad and a calzone. It was too much food. I ordered the fatty B and it was fantastic. I usually don't enjoy canzone because the crust is hard pizza crust. Not so at sauce on the side. The crust is almost pastry tezture.
Fountain drinks are so carbonated that you can taste the CO2. The only issue. Customer service was ourstanding.“

“Got pick up with my gf. Loved the meat lovers and the buffalo chicken. Amazing service. They were quick and kind. Mean while at the local dominos a few weeks later i get caller a cheap b*stard by the delivery BOY. I cant wait to try more from stefs.“

“Fantastic food, great as always“

“Thank You, Dom for a Wonderful Rehearsal Dinner Experience

I wanted to extend my heartfelt thanks for hosting our rehearsal dinner at Massa’s. The evening was truly special, and your team went above and beyond to make everything perfect. From the delicious food to the warm and welcoming atmosphere, every detail exceeded our expectations.

We received so many compliments from our guests, and it’s all thanks to your hospitality and the care you put into the evening. We’re so grateful for your support in making such an important night so memorable.

Warm regards,
Tom and Lindsay“

“We’ve been here twice and both times service and food were excellent. May be my new favorite restaurant in this area. Highly recommend!“

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Pictured below is the Gonzo calzone- Salami, dates, spinach, garlic herb cheese, mozzarella, mascarpone-ricotta blend, and garlic oil with garlic butter on the side. My husband looked at me like I was crazy when I read off dates but the slight sweetness against all of that savory is what made it!! We also tried the Fatty B, Meat me in St Louie, Magic Carpet Ride, and the Gyro. They were all amazing but the Gonzo and the Gyro were my favorites. The Magic Carpet Ride is also a must try if you're into mushrooms.“

“Great food, great waitress Jamie!“

“Amazing pizza! Best lasagna! Great staff! 5 Stars!“

“We went because I remember going to a restaurant they had many years ago on St Charles Rock Rd. The food was as good as I remember. Everyone loved what they had. We will definitely be going back.“

“me and my boyfriend came here for our anniversary dinner and absolutely loved it!! our server was very kind and helpful. our food was served quickly and was delicious. we loved everything about our experience! special shoutout to the worker that was happy to take our picture before we left!“

“Amazing pizza! Best lasagna! Great staff! 5 Stars!“

“Delicious food, great portions and caring, kind staff!“

“Been there many times over the years. Their NY-style pizza is great“

“Had a large party reserved and had some of the best service from our waiter Freddy than we have in years anywhere else. He was incredibly attentive, thorough and kind.“

“If there were 10 stars that's how I'd rate our dining experience. You can't go wrong with Italian and our food was delicious, however, what really made our visit great was the service we received from our server, Helene. She was outstanding and both my husband and I agreed that we'll ask to be seated in her section at our next visit.“

“As usual it is always the best place for a dinner. We love it. However this franchise did not had garden veggies also the rigatoni was not best cooked. I have visited a lot of OG in east coast and did had a better rigatoni. Overall we luv it and now even my kid loves it

Editing after an year again - few waiters are not at all good. I have visited many times now. The only waiter which was best is Riley Dean she was the best. I would just add 1 star for her.“

“Best lunch special pizza & salad I have ever eaten. Pizza was excellent! Young man behind the counter was very helpful & friendly. Stef's pizza has become our go to pizza effective today, 9/18/23.“

“Candicci’s catered our wedding, and it was everything we hoped for and more! We heard tons of praise from guests saying it’s the best food they’ve ever had at a wedding! Every single dish was delicious, and the portions were generous. Every guest was full and happy! Jeff was super responsive, communicative, and easy to work with. They gave us a free tasting before we booked so we knew exactly what we’d be getting. The whole catering team was professional and accommodating, especially with dietary restrictions. They were also very affordable! I cannot recommend Candicci’s enough!“

“First, the service was great! Dude was doing everything and helpful. The food was pretty great, fries were oddly extremely good. I got the Italian dip and it was tasty. My buddy got the Sal's burger and it was massive! I highly recommend Salvatore's!“

“The absolute BEST NY style pizza in the county.“

“You can tell that the staff really enjoy working here. I am always glad to see Marley and/or Mackaylee working at the front counter. They both have great personalities and are always wearing a smile! For young girls, they have great customer service skills and take pride in their work! As a manager, Michael is always very accommodating and helpful. There are two locations closer to us, but this store will always be the one we go to. Thanks Jungermann Imo's!!!“

“I had a great experience at this location. The food was good and I have enough left for lunch tomorrow haha.

Our server Emily was very nice and attentive to the table's needs.

I would definitely come back!“

“Great Gluten Free Pizza and loved the salads . Why did you guys remove yourself from Doordash??? We ordered from there all the time because we live in st Peter’s .“

“Finally got got to try the legendary Pirrone's Pizzeria Florissant while playing a great gig at Bunkers Tavern yesterday! 😊🍕💥 Awesome pizza with thin crispy crust and they use provel cheese! 💚 RECOMMENDED! 👍“

“Everytime l order my salad online and pick it up it's perfect. Ready on time and have always had friendly window service. The young lady today did everything right, professionally and FRIENDLY.
The salad was delicious and neatly prepared!“

“Stopped her to check out the Gluten free menu. Let me tell you… The service from the host stand to table service was awesome! The GF menu was extensive. Best pasta I have had. Didn’t taste like GF. Thank you so much! We will be back.“

“Husband said “How about Pasta House?”
My favorite of all time.
Our last experience at this location was not good however we decided to give it another try this evening.
Our server was amazing, food was great.
All in all we were very satisfied.
So after a bad review previously, thought I would give them a nice compliment!
Good Job Pasta House!“
