I went with 5 other people. Pizza was OK but much prefer wood or brick oven pizza. Pizza & Salad were mediocre compared to Gianinos in south county.

Been going to Lou and Joe. Baccardis for 40 years. Lou and Joe are brothers. Lou had the place on Magnolia Avenue on the hill called Lou Baccardis. Joe had the rest of the Resteraunt.
Lou would sit in the front of the resteraunt at a table and smoke a great big cigar. While greeting patrons.
Lou died his dayghter took the resteraunt over. After sometime sho sold to her uncle Joe.
Great pizza, homemade crust extra thin.
Salads , pasta, sandwiches,everything on menue fresh made to order. First class Five Star! !

Food was great and service was excellent but the tables are to close together and the ladies room was way too dark. Priced just right.

Met our friends up there tonight for dinner. My husband ordered the cannelloni and they brought out cavatelli and then try to tell him he ordered the wrong thing. We ordered an appetizer of breaded artichokes that were burnt. Just not a good night to go won’t be going back.

If you like your dinner cooked with family recipes, come here. You don't have to be on The Hill for good Italian. If you're looking for glorified Chefboyardee, then go to the national chain.

We had their Deluxe pizza. It was delicious. It was a St Louis style pizza with thin crust and provolone cheese. We will have this again
I would say that this place has the true St. Louis style Pizza that are you looking for it's the best I have ever had. I've been here in St. Louis for 50 years and Joe bacardy's fire. Bricked oven Pizza is 10 above all, the rest. I am a lifer and I will get no Pizza unless it's from there. I'd rather spend a couple extra bucks and get what I really love. Hats off to James Bacardi at the Watson location..

We grew up eating pizza at Luigi’s restaurant not far here. After moving to Phoenix AZ, and came back to visit family, we were informed that Luigi’s had closed.
But my sister told about Joe Boccardi’s on Watson. Well I’d swear that the cooks at Luigi’s must have gone to Joe’s with their recipes. I’m happy to say, that the pizza here is definitely the best St. Luis style pizza!
It’s a MUST that we eat here every year when we come and visit family!!

Disappointing Experience Despite Friendly Service
The service was attentive—servers even stepped in to clear dishes without us asking, which we appreciated. Unfortunately, the food fell far short. The calamari tasted like it came from the freezer and consisted only of rubbery rings. The standout dish of the night ended up being my son’s kid-size pepperoni pizza, which says a lot.
My steak was undercooked, stringy, and mostly fat; I struggled to cut even a single proper bite. My husband’s tortellini lacked flavor and arrived with the cream sauce simply poured on top rather than tossed, making it bland and unappealing.
Because we were pressed for time, we chose not to complain on the spot and just boxed everything to fix at home. We actually left the restaurant still hungry, which is never how a dinner out should end. With such attentive service, it’s disappointing that the kitchen quality didn’t match.
Best sevice, salads, and pizza!!
