Italian Restaurants near Wildwood

“To be honest, we started going to another spot for St Louis style pizza because in the past we had unreliable quality from a couple nearby locations. We were in town from Austin visiting family and changed it up due to a change of ownership at our usual place... The order time was reasonable given it was a Friday night before the holidays. The pizzas and toasted ravs were great. Most importantly, they didn't skimp on the provel cheese. Happy we ordered extra to hold us over while in town! Keep it up!“

“This place is a hidden gem. The food and ambiance were first rate. The owner even came by our table to make sure everything was to our satisfaction. Very old school Italian. There is no need to go the Hill for Italian food. This is coming from someone who grew up on the Hill. This is one of the best Italian restaurants in St. Louis.“

“Absolutely awesome pizza! Being from Chicago we ordered both the thin and thick crust pizzas. Both were great! Thick crust didn’t have sauce on top, who cares, great either way. Perfect amount of cheese on both. Will definitely go back when we are in the area, would love to see another location in St. Charles! We are in a normal pizza desert out here, sorry can’t get behind the St. Louis pizza.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!! ☺️“

“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.“

“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“

“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.“

“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.“

“I've been coming here since I was born. All of the food is good, but ultimately it's pizza that has made this place my favorite restaurant of all time. The Joe's Special is a religious experience.The service and staff, many of whom have been there for ages, are all great. Joe, the man himself, is a legend and his darling wife is as sweet as they come.There is nothing better. I wish I could give this more stars!“

“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.“

“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.“

“We have done the family deal for takeout a couple of times in the last couple of months. Both times were very good. Service was fast, and all the food was ready when promised. The food was very good, especially the chicken marsalla. With today's prices it was a very good value.“

“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.“
