“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.“
“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.“
“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 would put myself in debt to eat this food, It's so incredible the head chef is brilliant, and the staff from the front of the house to the back make the entire experience a joy. the wild boar and polenta is writing home about worthy, and the tirimisu makes me emotional... the pizza is literally the only pizza in st louis worth eating and I'm from Chicago so I feel like my opinion is extra valid lol. there are a ton of "fancy restaurants" in St. Louis but table cloths and wine selection don't mean crap when the menu of a reasonably priced pizza joint makes your food look like McDonald's by comparison.“
“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.“
“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.“
“I dont think the salad making lady likes me. She smiles at all the men and facially scowls at me.....lol. Not a friendly gal for sure but, i go there for the food and it cannot b beat. The cashier guy is super nice and friendly too! Praise “
“People have asked me to recommend a good pizza place. I will recommend THE BEST pizza place I know... Double D's Pizzeria.Double D's is a small, family owned and operated, establishment located along Tesson Ferry Rd. between Butler Hill Rd. and Wells Rd.I highly recommend their St. Louis style pizza, calzones, chicken wraps, and cheese fries - among many other things on their menu. Their pizzas are thin crust with a blend of cheeses. If you like bacon on your pie, you'll LOVE this... Bacon crumbles AND strips. I honestly can't put it in words how good it is.Double D's is a family friendly restaurant with eat-in and carry out options (no delivery). The ambiance inside is laden with sports jerseys and memorabilia from local high school sports teams. Multiple TV's in the restaurant showcase sports channels and other entertainment.There is also a small game room with a couple of arcade type games to keep the littles entertained.You honestly can't go wrong here. If you're looking for a local, non-commercial family friendly pizza place, then look no further than Double D's!!“
“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!“
“I have visited Trattoria Toscana a few times and decided to take my son and daughter in law for a celebration dinner. It was exquisite! The food was delicious as always. Frankie was an outstanding server and worthy of accolades! Trattoria Toscana will be my choice of restaurants to celebrate or just go out for delicious food for no special reason. So happy!“
“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!“
“Tried this restaurant yesterday. Had a reservation for Valentine’s Day. The food was really good and the waiter was nice. The restaurant wasn’t really crowded when we got there and we still had to wait. The table we got was a high top by the bar, would have preferred a booth or other table in the dining area but all in all it was a good experience. I’d go back for another steak, it was delicious.Dietary restrictions: Peanut free facilityParking: Lots of spots“
“Just Wow. What a great place. I’ve more the gladly drove 20 minutes just for their sandwiches. They treat everyone with a courteous smile and it’s well known. If you want a sandwich or salad, take an extra few minutes and treat yourself right!“
“Holy cow, this place was awesome. I went with a group of 7 for lunch today. It was slammed with customers but they still got our orders taken and food to us in good time. The lady taking orders was fast and efficient while also being an absolute pleasure to deal with. The rest of the staff was just as good. I got the meatball sandwich and it was truly amazing. I was full when I finished it but still disappointed when it was gone. Overall it was an amazing experience and I can't wait to go back the next time I'm in St. Louis.“
“Friday lunch was delicious. The atmosphere is lovely and refined. The Peppe’s and spinach salads were very good. The entrees of veal piccata and grilled halibut were excellent as well. Service was attentive but not overbearing. Tony Bennett and Frank Sinatra music was a wonderful addition to the experience. I can’t wait to return in spring when I can dine in their outdoor garden.“
“The place is looking brand new. They could make a wide variety of calzone. They are making dough in house.You can have a beer or non-alcoholic drink.At the sweet side - I have eaten a calzone with apples and cinnamon. It was great, as well as calzone "Buffalo eye". Personnel is very friendly. I can recommend that place.“
“?????This place is great the food is always really good and made in a timely manner and the wait staff really go the extra mile to make sure everything is to your liking I believe our server's name was Tyler great guy really friendly we made sure to give him a big tip I've never had a server like that you can tell he really enjoys and cares about what he does I'll be recommending this place to everyone I know for sure ????☺️????Parking: Theres always plenty of spots to parkKid-friendliness: Very kid friendly they even give out crayons and paper for the kids our kids like the food so much they even drew a picture for the kitchen staff ??“
“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.“
“Especiallly pleased with service and atmosphere. You can actually have a conversation without shouting! Love the soups. Also pleased that they were willing to accommodate a dietary request. Food is always well prepared and served hot. I've ordered a variety of dishes over time and never been disappointed. Definitely would frequent more often if the price point were a bit lower, but, in general, they are in line with most other fine restaurants. I consider them a favoite and definitely recommend.“
“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!! ☺️“
“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.“
“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!“
“What a great experience!! The food was excellent and the service was top notch! Ray is a great server that really describes the dishes and offers great selections. A restaurant doesn't make the address book in my phone if it's not great, this one did!!!!“

“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.“
“We were able to be seated right away & the staff was pleasant. The restaurant itself was a little warm, even for an early Sunday evening in April. It took us a bit to be greeted by our waitress, but once she came over, she was fantastic. My husband was very happy with his steak & fettuccine Alfredo. I got the tour of Italy, which was lukewarm, but tasted good. All in all, it was a pleasant evening.“
“We are having such an awesome time here at Billy G's in Kirkwood! Jackie, our server, was so friendly and so prompt, everything that you would want someone serving you food!Here's a picture of half and I repeat half of the chicken nachos that I had! The rest is gone in my tummy!If, for whatever reason, you have never been here before don't walk but run here it's a great place!“
“The Shack is such a fun place to eat breakfast! The atmosphere is lovely and contemporary, the menu is clever, service friendly, and the food is good! I had the corned beef hash and it was divine! Ribbons of salty, tender corned beef draped over crispy hashbrowns and topped with 2 glossy over medium eggs.“
“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.“
“Writing this review just to shout out one employee in particular. This place is great anyway Reasonable pricing, great ambiance, good food, solid service. But tonight Hunter nailed it, quick on his feet, checked in just the right amount and super helpful and friendly.“
“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.“
“Beautiful Italian restaurant with a simple yet elegant menu.Great options, included some not in the menu, can satisfy all palates. Seafood or meat options, risotto or pizza, you will find something you like.Toasted Ravioli was a St.Louis must have. Meatballs were delicious and fork tender. Really can't go wrong with anything here.“
“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.“
“It was a large family gathering and the entire menu wasn't available to order from. Instead there was just a salad, bread, and 2 pasta dishes that had no meat in them. The canoli for desert was nice though. The server did a nice job of warning us about the tables not being level with the floor.“
“Massa's is the penultimate American Italian cuisine and one of the best in the country! It's cozy with attentive service. The food is more than one can eat. The Carbona and Cajun pasta are world class!Please remember this is American Italian. They're not going to give you olive oil and vinegar and little European delicacies. They're going to give you great food and lots of it.Note, getting there is an experience in itself, this restaurant is a real sudden turn off of a freeway on ramp. You'll probably miss it on your first try!“
“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! “
“Everything I've got from here has been fantastic. Usually the gyro w/fries is my go to. But the burger is really good and the wings are a GREAT value. And that seasoning on the fries really make them pop. Overall fantastic and all the ladies are very friendly and inviting. The place could use some work but has improved alot in the past couple years. Love the desert display when I walk in, has got bare mostly because I don't think foot traffic has been that great. So I say, everyone needs to try this place and taste food when someone actually cares about it.“
“Solid "St Louis" Italian spot. Big on the cream sauce, not too fond of olive oil options. Tasty. Mondo portions. Higher prices than their peers, but the portion difference makes it easier to swallow (see what I did there). 3.75 STARS.“
“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!“
