“Picked up my kids last night from college out of state & they HAD to get her Cecil's fix right away, despite how tired they were. Their pizza were PERFECT. Kudos to the new owner Katie. You provided wonderful, attentive service & the fois was great!“
“Our first time in.Nikki was awesome.Food was delish, even though one of the orders was wrong, it was still yummy. ( I ordered the tortellini in Cajun sauce and got the Cajun pasta instead) the boyfriend ordered the lasagna. He said he would give it a 4, and was happy it wasn’t small. HUGE portions. Dinner salad was one of the best we’ve ever had. Overall… we liked it, and will definitely go back.Parking: Easy parking, but a big dip going in and out… still not terrible.“
“Holy foodies! family owned restaurant Ballwin, MO. Their product puts the famous IMOs pizza to shame.You MUST order the homemade sausage with the sauce and provell cheese... it's perfect.I recommend half pepperoni - bell pepper and pepperoni -pineapple.My mouth is watering writing this.we have a standing mandate to eat hear before any vacation.It is just that good.“
“Shared a birthday meal with one of the moms. I will start by saying that the food and service were excellent! The toasted ravs, and the spin dip are both great choices for sharable apps. The pizza all varieties is one of my favs for thin crust. Better than Imos in my personal opinion. The dessert selection is prime at least 6 options. Our hostest was very friendly and sat us in a booth as requested. Our server Bruce was fast, professional, and thorough. Our experience as a whole was great and will be back.“
“James, our server, made it a fun evening. The food as always, was perfect. We had the caprese with lobster salad to start. Light and tasty. Then we had the 12oz Australian Wagyu, cooked to perfection and just about as good as Japanese Wagyu for a lot less. Served sliced and placed in the middle. We love Wagyu and this is a special dish. We were thrilled they had it tonight. We also had the pasta special, spinach tagliatelle with shrimp and scallops and a cheesy delicious sauce with bacon, almost like a carbonara. Not ultra creamy but super good. Big shrimp and scallops. Finally we had the Truffle Mac and Cheese which is addicting and awesome. We brought some home for our grand daughter. Napoli 2 is a great restaurant.“
“Got there early before our 8 o’clock reservations to have cocktails at the bar prior to seating. Unfortunately, a bunch of squatters eating pizza at the bar had the place completely packed so we had to wait in the foyer before we got seated. not sure why a place of this stature doesn’t have an appropriate cocktail pre-dinner waiting area for reservation guests instead allows perennial squatters to compromise that area. Do they really need the money that bad? Our waitress said the people that are eating at the bar are the same ones week after week after week. I recommend you go somewhere else to have cocktails before dinner. food was really , really good and we will go back but will go somewhere else for a pre-dinner cocktails and show up at reservation time. Otherwise we’ll be standing out in the foyer while squatters are at the bar. This is a common practice among the nicer restaurants in town. I will say the food was really special. we had the shrimp and scallop entree, the pizza, and the morel mushroom special. All were outstanding. Wine by the bottle pricing was appropriate. Very nice dinner for sure.“
“I can’t say enough about this place. Artichoke appetizers was amazing. The main entrees didn’t disappoint. Portion sizes were just right. Tiramisu and cannoli were fantastic. Service was excellent. Many thanks to Lia for a fantastic dinner!“
“This restaurant has outstanding Italian cuisine. The food is delicious and its presentation is pretty as well. We went there on a Saturday evening with friends and had to wait around 45 minutes. I don't know if they take reservations in advance. It is well worth the wait though.“
“I had the rigatoni arribiatta which was delicious. My group and I had a really nice time in general, but towards the time that we left it was VERY loud in the restaurant, this was around 7:00pm. It became so loud that I left with a sore throat (not joking) from having to project my voice just to be heard by the person across the table. I did really enjoy my food though.“
“I ordered the Roasty Toasty for delivery to MoBap Hospital. I work in the medical buildings so it can be tricky to find us...the delivery guy, Nathan, was great! The online ordering process was so easy, and the food was next level! The pesto is bursting with flavor, and the whole pine nuts in the calzone added a great texture!! We are definitely going to order again!“
“Love these subs, as a rule. Kinda spendy, but usually yummy. Today one of our subs had a huge, way too thick slice of salami on it. Thanks for the extra, but way over the top for meat this time. Just do it right and it will be great! Don’t over-do or under-do.“

“Best unexpected menu item...Rolando's Merry Christmas Chicken Noodle soup.This is not your grandmother's Chicken soup! The soup was a delectable blend of tender chunks of chicken, sweet carrots, Christmas Tree pasta, and celery in a savory broth with melting Parmigiano cheese on top. A palate-pleasing meld of flavors for the soul!“
“Very good calzones! I got steak and mushrooms, someone else at our table got the BBQ chicken with roasted corn in it.All the calzones come with sauce "on the side," as the name suggests. Mine had French onion dip, which would have been better if not cold, in my opinion. They also have cheese sauce, a really good garlic butter, a white BBQ sauce...The server asked if we wanted any changes (different sauces, etc) Drinks came in glasses made to look like cans, very cute!Lunch for 4 was under 50 bucks, and two of us got bottomless drinks and a drink to go. Great value, cute place and wonderful food!“
“We had an amazing dinner tonight at YaYa’s! The sea scallops were exquisite and are the best we’ve had in St. Louis. The salmon salad and gnocchi were delectable, as were the cocktails. The icing on the cake was being served by the one and only, Andy Samberg!! I can’t believe he works here! The service was amazing as was his comedic nature! Everything about this place was top notch.!! We absolutely will be back! BEST.NIGHT. EVER!! ☺️“
“We've driven past here countless times and today had the opportunity to have lunch. It's a store front in a small strip, clean and nicely decorated inside, with 3-4 umbrella tables outside. The counter staff were very kind and offered recommendations. I had the chicken spedini with salad. I didn't realize it also came with a generous bowl of spaghetti and red sauce. I'm Italian and most Italians will tell you, "We never eat sauce out (meaning tomato sauce), so I took it home for the kiddo. My husband selected the chicken parmigiana which also included pasta and we both had salad. Our entrees and the broccoli that accompanied them were delicious. The quantity of food was too much for me, but the hubby loved it as he was ravenous by the time we stopped. The salads were tasty, though the cheese we added came in fairly large sticks - not bad, just oddly proportioned. Everything tasted good, but we were a bit shocked by the prices. While the counter staff were very nice, she didn't indicate how much of an up charge there was for a small side salad. We'd expected close to $20/each and ended up with a bill of almost $60. We won't pay that much for lunch again anytime soon, though we would consider them for catering because the food was very tasty and the catering prices weren't terrible, thus the 4-stars. It would be 5-stars except for the unexpected pricing.“

“Found this place on Google and it seemed like it’d be good. I think maybe we showed up on a karaoke night. It’s not just a restaurant but also a little store and deli. I really enjoyed the vibe. My food was good. My favorite thing was my cannoli and I’m a little upset with myself for not getting the larger one.“
“Have been going here for years and the pizza is always great but the customer service is always even better. Drew always makes sure everyone is getting what they want. Drew and his staff do an amazing job here with the food and customer service.“
“Always go for lunch with a friend. No alcohol license but you can bring your own bottle of wine which we do, small fee for service. Lunch menu wide, always opt for upside on salad, theirs the best. Small place but decor fine, server very nice. Can't be bear.Dietary restrictions: Willing to work on changes such as grill vs fried, omit ingredients. Very accommodating.Parking: Small strip mall but at lunch plenty of parking.“
“The food was great. We have been there many times and as always the food never fails. Our waitress was very attentive and extremely bubbly. The check-in process on the other hand was horrible. We called ahead to let them know we were on our way, clicked on the link they sent us when we arrived, also in person at the desk. The website said we were in position 1 for over a half hour as we watched group after group(varying sizes) go in before us. Even spoke with another family who was getting frustrated as they were in position 2 and also watched group after group go in. They finally went in after the grandfather and I started to get vocal about how it wasn't making sense as to why we were still waiting. We finally were seated about five minutes after them but not before a party of 2 that was there after us was seated. I'm not sure what happened but I was not happy with how it was handled.“
“Love this place- we were there on Saturday night (3/9/24) great food and even better service- Jila at the front was great! She greeted us with a smile the minute we walked in and was so attentive throughout our ordering process and beyond. Thanks for making our night so much better, Jila and team!“
“A friend of mine knew I had a birthday coming up and recommended this hidden treasure. He wasn't wrong! The ambiance of the place is so comfortable and refreshing from the moment we walked thru the door! The food was amazing and we stayed a lot longer than our usual quickeat and go. That was because our waitress Mary made us feel special. She had these little candles for the cupcakes my wife gets for me every year! It was such a great night and we have been back several times since then. Always a place that never disappoints 5stars!!“
“Terrible service from EJ. He never checked to see how our food was, not once, after salad or entree. The food was okay. Parmesan would have helped maybe. We had to ask for more water. We had a gift card from our kids to use, but EJ said the internet was down and we couldn't use it. We asked for a manager, and he said he was the manager, which is really surprising considering the lack of service we received. He finally took the gift card off of our bill. He was not a good server or manager in our opinion. Bus boy was pretty good. We would not recommend this place. EJ shouldn't be serving!! We still gave him a 15% tip, which was more than deserved. Usually, we give much more.“
“It's a family favorite, but like many restaurants, the value has slipped. We did take out - an entree caesar and an extra large mizithra for $40. Outstanding mizithra and the pesto dressing is incredible. But outside of those two ingredients, we basically got plain spaghetti with browned butter and romaine lettuce. No protein -- just noodles and lettuce. Yes, two small cups of spumoni (3-4 spoonfuls) were included as well as a small loaf of Italian bread. I'd mention the side salad, but it was a handful of lettuce in half a pint container. I expected larger servings, especially as we spent the extra $5 for the larger order.“
“We came here on an impromptu date night, and it was great! Plenty of parking, lots of seats and lots of St. Louis decor. Food all looked good and we had a hard time picking. Chose to get the appetizer sampler and a custom double decker pizza. We picked meatballs, fresh garlic, artichoke hearts and pepperocinis. Lots of leftovers! Everything tasted great and paired well with a couple of beers. Our server did a great job of getting g us what we needed and giving us space to enjoy it. Very friendly and helpful! We are looking forward to coming back soon and trying the sandwiches and salads!“

“Service was horrible, took us to our seat, waited 15 min then other people were seated around us, waited 10 more min. All the time they were taking g orders from people that came after us, had wave down a server. Then waited another 10 min just to order, never came fill up drinks or ask if we needed bread sticks or anything. Food was good Service was a joke“
“The food was excellent! Our party of two ordered one entree from the menu and requested a non-menu entree that was prepared perfectly. The app offerings are well thought-out and range from 'standard' through 'gourmet'. Everything was prepared as requested and served on a timely basis. The dessert selection is rather limited, but the aperitifs will replace any dessert shortcomings very well. And if you are like me and enjoy coffee after dinner, they offer espresso and cappuccino. Entree prices are mostly in the $20 -$30 range as are most comparable restaurants in their geography. The service is top-shelf; our server was Shawn. He was friendly, accommodating, very knowledgeable of menu items, professional and willing to assist should diners want assistance. Shawn is an absolute "Pro"! The ambience is clean, open (tables not jammed against each other) and functional. It's great to not be forced to listen to another table's conversation. If I could offer one suggestion it would be to 'lower the brightness' in the dining room, it has a negative effect on the entire experience. We will become regular customers of Gianfabio's.“
“The staff is friendly,fast and efficient. They are a very busy place every time I go to pick up an order. That should say something in and of itself. The food is always good. Only three critiques. I'm not fond of the waitress carrying a basket with bread and offering a roll vs having a set amount already at your table. They are already super busy. Why make it harder on them? You are just causing them to have to do more work on an already very busy job. Maybe have one worker placed with the task of passing out rolls? Secondly, when you do family meals,the fettuccine alfredo never comes with enough sauce. It's pretty dry. But that's not really terrible and it's easily remedied. Thirdly, I can't find the option to order dinner rolls on their online ordering tool anymore. Boo!Parking: The parking lot is rather small,but people somehow make due.“

“Pizza was delicious. Decided to try this place since I just bought a house in Monticello subdivision. My entire family went and my husband and boys loved it! Will be returning, we didn’t like the chicken wings but the pizza was delicious.“
“The food was a little pricey but was very good. Our server was very friendly and yet professional. I recommend this spot for an enjoyable experience.Parking: They rely on on street parking so you may have to walk a distance which is difficult for handicapped people.“
“What a lovely place to discover! Went looking for a new pasta place and was recommended we try Joe Boccardi's Ristourante and from the servers to the food and conversing with the manager it was a delightful experience even though we showed up an hour before closing time! “
“To the gentleman who took our order very close to closing, thank you! My sibling and I had to rush from our respective cities to the local hospital after our parent had an incident. We were tired and hungry. The gentleman was empathetic and accommodating. The pizza was great as always, but this review is hinged more on service than anything else. I should've asked his name, but we hope he knows who he is from that tiring Saturday night.“
“Holy. We ordered tonight for a delivery (keep in mind it’s snowing and we HATE ordering when the weather is bad) and the delivery was super fast, the driver was the nicest and our food was really warm and enjoyable! Thank you so so much. I couldn’t be more happy with the driver.“
“This place is the greatest! We love sitting on the patio in a booth when the weather is just right. Food is pretty good. And portions are HUGE! Service is usually pretty good. I've never had a problem. They are usually crowded on Friday's early evening between 4 and about 8pm.“
“Take out order was perfect! Love every dish ordered including baked mostaccioli and garlic bread tasted wonderful. We love the red sauce. The restaurant was very busy when we picked it up but the order was still completed on time and the staff friendly.“
“Went there on a slow Wednesday night.The brushetta is just flavorless soggy crackers with pounds of flavorless canned cold tomatoes on top.... with a sad amount of parm cheese and fresh basil on top.... no balsamic glaze... not much flavor .Field salads was great. Fresh ingredients.Bread is good. Had 3 rounds of it, 1/3 was cold harder bread that seemed to be old.Fettucine alfredo didnt have much any flavor. Needed salt, olive oil , pepper , and parm to make it have any sort of flavor.“
“I have gone here my whole life and still love going here. This last time I went the fettuccine was not that great. It had way too much butter and seemed like I could pick the whole bowl up on my fork. The chicken was dried out, either overcooked or had been sitting out awhile. I would still eat here and recommend this place to everyone. Can't wait to see the house dressing sold in stores one day.“
“Its good.Real good.Also Nick is HOT. I confess I would do so many filthy....wait we are talking about food.Anyway I used to work here and they helped me get my sea legs with working in restaurants for a month and it was HARD WORK. THEY ARE SERIOUS ABOUT THESE PIZZAS! LOL I CRAVE IT STILL. THE DEEP DISH IS LIKE A DRUG. I. NEED. IT. LOL That being said it isn't as good left over but fresh man...talk about yummy.Nick is CRAZY. CRAZY CRAZY CRAZY. Only reason I won't eat at this location again is he used to tease me so bad he made me cry. Freakin weirdo.Anyway...Jets is awesome.Eat here.“
“Was reluctant at first, but I'm glad my better half decided that we were going to try as we have never been. As we entered, we were greeted with a simple and soft welcome, we looked at the menu and decided to try a NY style crust, best decision by far! The toppings were perfect for the pizza, not overwhelming, the taste was great and will definitely come back.“
