While Italian/Sicilian preparations have made Charlie Gitto's a name known coast-to-coast, our menu also presents an array of signature steaks, veal, seafood, pizzas, salads, appetizers and desserts, such as homemade gelato and Italian cookies.

We received a Charlie Gitto's gift card and used it at the Hollywood STL location. We ordered the BBQ pizza, tortellini, and salad. AMAZING!! Super good food!! We come here all the time to relax, get EXCELLENT service, and enjoy the ambiance. If you would like excellent pizza or Italian food, try this place out. The Moscato is enjoyable, as well.

We are locals who eat out several times a week. We saw Paul Mineo's in Westport Plaza during a recent visit to Kemoll's which is across the plaza. After an unsatisfactory experience at the better known legacy restaurant we thought the next time we were near Westport we would give Mineo's a try.What a difference.The atmosphere was old italian and seemed genuinely friendly. Although it looked more elegant outside, the decor was more casual inside, due in part to the relaxed dress code of some of the customers. One man at the bar was wearing cutoff shorts and a casual shirt, more in keeping with the nightlife atmosphere than an elegant dining experience we were expecting. But Westport is that kind of entertainment oriented venue with two (supposedly) higher quality Italian restaurants in the center of it. But there the similarities ended.Kemoll's has had a reputation as a fine dining restaurant in St Louis for many years, having recently moved from it's location atop one of the highest buildings in downtown St Louis with a view of the arch and riverfront to its' suburban Westport Plaza location across from Mineo's. It had a reputation as a fine dining (but expensive) restaurant going back at least 50 years. Mineo's looks more inviting outside and is incomparably better inside, offering a nice variety of entrees at prices at least $10 cheaper than Kemoll's. We ordered an artichoke appetizer which was excellent. Before it arrived we were served complimentary pancetta with melted cheese, also excellent. My wife ordered salmon and I had a filet mignon stuffed with crabmeat and shrimp. My wife thoroughly enjoyed her entree (which I didn't taste) and I thought my filet was one of the best I've ever had, tender and cooked to perfection just as I ordered (medium). Often when a thick cut filet is prepared it is either raw in the middle or served well-done. The thicker it is the harder it is to get the center just right. This one was done perfectly.We called for a reservation and asked if we could bring our own bottle of wine. We were told that we were welcome to do so, and the corkage fee was $20, which was slightly on the higher end of normal, but was still quite reasonable considering the quality of the food. Corkage fees vary in St. Louis from zero to $30, with $15 to $20 being the most common. The higher fees are often charged in a not so subtle attempt to discourage customers from bringing their own wine. We were made to feel quite comfortable when we asked and were encouraged to do so. We did not have room for dessert, but the choices of cannolis, tiramisu and two kinds of cheese cake were attractively presented on a seperate dessert menu, which we plan to try the next time we go there. The biggest difference between Mineo's and Kemoll's was the service. Our waiter was Ben, who was knowledgable and attentive, and seemed genuinely pleased to wait on us. He also checked back several times during the meal without being intrusive. Our experience at Keml/s was quite the opposite. Our waitress claimed to know the wines on Kemoll's somewhat limited wine list, but didn't know whether either of the chardonnays offered by the glass was unoaked, or what unoaked was. A sample was delivered somewhat grudgingly. The waitress was intrusive and tried to steer the conversation. After ordering two appetizers we decided not to split an entree (average price $45 even for small portions, such as two tortellini's). When my wife wanted to order a salad she was told that customers were discouraged from ordering the salad except as a side to an entree, was small and expensive. My wife ordered it anyway, and was served a salad on a small plate that was not even close to a typical salad portion, for $10. After that the waitress seemed to lose all interest in waiting on us. We did order two desserts and were presented a bill for $110.While the staff at Mineos was warm and welcoming, and the prices very reasonable, Kemoll's felt more like a rub joint out to gouge tourists than a pleasant place to dine.We look forward to going back to Mineo's for our anniversary next month. Although we had gone to Kemoll's several times over the past 40 years we will never go back again.We appreciate your review and cherish your business. Thank you for your kind word. We can't wait to serve you again!

We no longer have Fazolis in our town in Texas. Therefore when we travel we look for Fazolis as a "scavenger hunt" and something fun/silly to look forward to....especially if it's a work trip like this was. Visited this location tonight and they failed us! As luck would have it I recd a Fazolis coupon via email today for buy a meal get a kids meal for free. PERFECT! Ordered my meal and they couldn't understand the coupon. Thought we had that straightened out. I asked for extra breadsticks. He said oh you want 2? I said no I'd like extra. He said it only comes with 1 breadstick. If I eat in the restaurant it comes with more than 1 breadstick. Really? Whatever. I buy a dozen which as a side note 12 breadsticks are way over priced, but I only get Fazolis once/yr. We ordered to go and our fault....we didn't check the bag until we arrived back at the hotel. You guessed it....our order was wrong! They gave me 12 breadsticks and a kids meal. My meal was nowhere to be found. The good news is they didn't charge me for it. Instead they charged me for buy one kids meal, get a 2nd one free. Didn't get a 2nd kids meal. ????? We also have the Fazolis loyalty/frequent diner punch card. The cashier had no idea what this was. He asked his manager and he was disinterested. I know they have this at this specific location b/c they punched my card the last time I was there. Younger employees working the evening wknd shift who just don't care. Unfortunate and sad. Big disappointment for my very rare opportunity to visit a fav restaurant!

Our party of four arrived before 5 p.m. on a Friday, prior to the bulk of dinner crowd. Our waitress Amber greeted us, seated us (pick your own spot), and provided friendly & attentive service throughout our meal. We were glad we got there early, because by the time we left the neighborhood had descended on the restaurant & the place was hopping. All a testament to the quality & value of Serra's.We started with dinner salads topped with their very flavorful house creamy Italian dressing (Mayfair style), and an order of four generously sized & stuffed cannelloni bites with a tasty marina for dipping. We split two thin crust pizzas, one large 15-inch supreme & one small 13-inch margarita (hold the anchovies), Both pizzas were well prepared & had ample toppings. Even though we ate more squares than we intended, we still had plenty to take home.We will return to Serra's to try more of their pizza selections, and we hope Amber waits on us again. Go early, and bring your appetite.

We were in St. Louis for a youth soccer game with the family. The hankering was for a good pizza and we searched for locations close to our Country Inn and Suites hotel. Dewey's was close and had gotten good reviews. Family gave thumbs up to go find it. When we arrived, the place was hopping. Which is always a good sign. We put in our name and were told it would be about a 15 minute wait and they would text us when the table was ready. Perfect! I had enough time to walk to a neighboring gas station and pick up some Rolaids. Once seated, the selection of specialty pizzas was fun. We ordered a larger pizza that was half Bronx Bomber and half Green Lantern. (Bomber had sausage, pepperoni, green peppers, onions, olives, etc and the Green Lantern had pesto, artichokes, goat cheese, etc). They were both absolutely superb. The crust was firm, but chewy and delicious. The kids, who are crust avoiders typically, ate everything. Service was attentive and fun. Other patrons seemed and looked satisfied. Overall, we felt we made a great choice and ranks in our top pizza ever list. Thank you Dewey's.

This restaurant is located next door to our hotel so we decided to try it out. It has a nice family Italian restaurant feel to the decor. They were somewhat busy but we were seated right away. Our server was pleasant and quick, almost a feeling of being rushed, but we made due. The plates were very good, we had lasagna, and a chicken special with mushrooms, artichoke, and wine sauce. Both were very good! Wine selection is pretty nice too. On the opposite side on the dinning room they have a bar with some tables also if you want to have a lighter atmosphere. The restaurant itself is pretty casual, so don't feel obligated dress up. Will come back if I'm sent to the same hotel next door again.Thanks for the great review! Have a safe and happy Easter and hope to see you back soon!

I would not recommend this location. The restaurant smelled like a musty mop, and the pasta was over-cooked. I was more concerned that they had armed security walking around, which meant the restaurant may have had some criminal history. They get 3 stars for the drinks.

Reviewed By JMCSTL
Other than the wait staff (who are always very friendly & attentive - including Katie on our recent dinner visit), little has changed in the 43 years that this original Massa's location has been in business. The outside looks like it's stuck in a time warp (with the gardener having been sucked into a black hole), as do the very tight interior spaces (at least those unchanged details you can make out in the dim lighting). But they still serve traditional "neighborhood Italian" fare that's unpretentious & flavorful. Nothing outstanding on their menu that my wife & I have tried over the years, but we always leave full & carrying enough leftovers for a meal at home the next day.
