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.

I have never had chicken livers made this way. They make them kind of the way my dad used to make beef livers when I was young with onions and fried in a pan. What an experience with these if you like this sort of thing. Best carry out chicken livers! Hands down!!

I had the chicken parm sandwich with chips and a big ice tea. Everything was great.

Great Sandwich, plenty of space. Nice new option in the Fenton area.

Make your restaurant accessible to wheelchair users by not blocking the door with tables and chairs on both sides. The side nearest a curb cut should be clear. Noodles were denied today because of a lack of accessibility and that makes a very sad day. Thank you for helping get noodles to all.
Stopped for lunch yesterday and had a wonderful meal! Staff are all super friendly and the food was amazing! I am so glad to have found this spot near my office so I can return more often now!

Stopped in for lunch on a weekday. I had been wanting to go here because my family ate at Giuseppe's on S. Grand often during my childhood. I ordered the Giuseppe's Salad and the Cavatelli con Broccoli. They serve everything in to go containers and have plastic forks, knives, etc. My salad came out immediately and it was just lettuce, 1 olive, 1 pepperoncini, 3 pieces tomato, onion, and dressing but they definitely nailed the Giuseppe's taste there. The Cavetelli con Broccoli came out maybe 2 minutes after the salad. I could see through the lid that the sauce was very thin. I ate maybe ¼ of the pasta and called it a day. Unfortunately it did not have any flavor. There was no salt, pepper, or garlic and the sauce didn't reduce enough to make it creamy and coat the noodles. The broccoli was a little under as well. I'd probably return if someone else wanted to go here. Bummer they don't have the veal cutlet.

Discovered this darling gem following a visit to the Fenton industrial park area thanks to their sandwich boards on street corner. It's a storefront in a nondescript strip mall but the inside is pretty cute. Counter service to place your order & they bring it to your table. Portions are so large they serve it in lidded to go containers so you can take some home! The penne siciliano was delicious and frankly better & more flavorful & quality than the dinner I had on The Hill last night. Pink sauce with sausage & huge great mushrooms & fresh basil on top!Friendly service from Debbie (counter & table server). The owner, Eric, was working away, too.This restaurant was in south city on Grand at Meramec since since 1927 until 3 years ago. Made it through the pandemic & opened the adjacent bay for additional seating! They still have regular customers from the original location that drive 17miles west to dine or carryout; they offer large catering and family size dinners, as well. I love the generational history & the electric sign from the original storefront on the wall inside.Stop in - you won't be disappointed with the quality of the food or service!
