Andy ThiemAugust 29, 2013OMG!! Forgot how awesome the sauce flavors are. Have to go when in STL. Skip the Hill!
LaVonne ArentJuly 5, 2016Awesome locally owned place, great food and atmosphere!!! Highly recommend!
Carol MorganAugust 7, 2014Toasted ravioli was tasty! So was the Caesar salad. The lasagna was very cheesy.
Amy WildeAugust 12, 2011We loved our food, but not a kid friendly menu. No kids menu and the sauce was very spicy for the little ones. Very friendly and welcoming.
- Joyce HeimensDecember 6, 2011Try thr housemade lasagna thats the best! The rest is.juat averagrre. And dont try the wine!
Adrienne StockleyMay 25, 2013Food is just okay, and kinda pricey at that. Visually, this place looks VERY dark and outdated. I understand that it's a StL "classic", but it comes across as cluttered and worn.
Brett HildabrandOctober 21, 2018It is probably quicker for the waitress to name what they’re NOT out of.
Austin WestermannFebruary 9, 2012Honestly was expecting better, one guy was waiting, bussing tables, and helping cook while two women sat up at the front rest and talked. Food was not good at all, bring Tums and lots of patience...
Chris RJuly 29, 2011The food was just OK. Not what I was expecting from what is suppose to be a classic. Service was very average. Especially for a slow night. My pasta was very sticky.
Robbie MolinaryApril 10, 2011Have been waiting an hour 20 minutes after being told 35-45 minutes....not sure that I'll know if it's good
Charles JurczakSeptember 23, 2011Dont bother over rated and they won't split a check without charging you extra...

"If you work in the area go to Gio's. Sit in the bar, watch the World Cup and wait for your to-go order. Just scored a perfectly cooked steak burger, fries and a soda for 12 bucks - awesome value!"

"Toasted ravs are the bomb. Kebobs and Sicilian chicken are great entrees. Get the pink sauce on your side of pasta."
