Best Italian food I've had in a really long time. Service was excellent!!! Highly recommend. read more

I had the pleasure of a lovely dinner with friends for my birthday here last night. We enjoyed Calamari, Caesar salad, the Sicilian style Sea Bass and the house tiramisu. The Calamari was good. But the Caesar salad, the sea bass and the tiramisu were outstanding! (see the pictures). Our server was very attentive and responsive. The ambiance is simple elegance. read more

Went for a family dinner. Arrived ahead of our time and were seated promptly. Hostess only brought four menus even though 2 more were coming later. Felt odd and then had to share later because she was busy when they arrived. The sticky floor was a bit distracting while walking to our table. Our server was prompt and took our drink order while we waited. Bread service with olive oil and balsamic was a good starter. We ordered appetizers and they were good. Meatballs and calamari. Food took awhile to come out. They were busy but not swamped (so it seemed). The food was good. Tortellini was one of the better ones I've had. The veal chop was good. Everyone enjoyed their meal. All in all - would return and would recommend. Just don't be in a hurry. read more

Went on a friday evening. Had reservations & were sat immediately. Would have never found this place without reading reviews about it. Its in a strip mall. A little upscale with actual tablecloths, water & wine glasses set on tables. The server was amazing. Made recommendations, was attentive & friendly. Had calamari as an appetizer. Portions are large. We all ordered pasta. It was delicious. Waiter made a mistake & brought out the salmon pasta instead of the eggplant. He took care of it right away. Overall a great experience. Were sad we didn't have room for dessert as they have several they make at the table for you! read more

FULL HOUSE! Everyone was looking at our table... My husband said, "I'm taking you out to dinner Saturday night." And boy did he deliver. Neither of us had been here, but a friend recommended we go. It was on my list of restaurants to try so I was more than happy to go! We were served by Shannon. Shannon had such a wonderful sense of humor telling my husband no phones or watches at the dinner table he also kept the bread coming. Like I said, it was a full house so we were eating bread for a while. It was so worth the wait though. My husband got the benedito's farfalle since his favorite pasta is bow tie and I ordered the Rigatoni alla Nino. Mine was delicious and the perfect amount of spicy. The salmon was UGH. Chef's kiss, but my husband's order? I WOULD GET THAT TOO. He ate two baskets of bread though. Lucky for me. I told him he better ask for the rest of his to go because it will have my name written all over it! I was so close to finishing mine but alas, I was too full. Luckily not full enough because we got this dessert. This secret dessert lol what a show. It was made at our table. (I love when restaurants do this) it looked like vanilla bean ice cream with amaretto, a sauce I couldn't tell what that was, and sliced almonds. I am sure I'm missing other ingredients but HOLY COW. Everyone in the restaurant was staring. It was quiet the show. I was scared my hair would go up in flames but he's a pro. That would not happen. The first visit but certainly not the last. We will be back and we will be bringing everyone we know! read more

Great service and a cozy, welcoming atmosphere! We reserved through OpenTable and were seated right on time. The warm bread was such a nice touch (hard to find these days!). The fried calamari paired so well with the mildly spicy dipping sauce and the crispy fried spinach. I had the linguine frutti di mare and loved it--the portion was just right, with a great mix of seafood and perfectly textured pasta. My husband ordered veal chops from the specials menu; he enjoyed it but wished the flavors were a bit more flavorful. We definitely will be back again to try other items on the menu. read more

Wow! What an excellent meal. Food was great. Service was great. Got lucky, no reservations and got. Table Friday evening. Later in the evening around 7:30 there seemed to be a wait. Nice, reserved decor. Fancy. The meatball app was delicious. Tender and flavorful and enough sauce for me. The fried spinach was crispy, light, good. The bread came out hot and they bring the WVOO and balsamic. Very tasty. The rigatoni was so good. Slightly spicy but not too spicy for me. Flavors were amazing. Scrimp scampi were huge and delicious too. Skipped dessert but it looked good! Commend the staff, all so friendly and genuine in wanting the guests to have a great experience. Shared parking lot, no worries about finding a spot. Highly recommend. read more

We dined here on a Sunday evening around 5pm. We had reservations and were seated immediately. Overall I think the food here ranks among the top for Italian restaurants in St. Louis and from a value perspective I believe it is number one. Before I ordered, I explained to our server that I really love Linguini in Clam Sauce but was reluctant to order it as I've had some really bad versions locally and asked her about the dish here. She said it was fabulous so I gave it a shot and have to say it was the best version of the dish I've had in St. Louis. The flavor was fantastic, the linguini perfectly cooked and the clams were fresh and plentiful. Later I told her that the only thing bad about the dish was that I wouldn't be able to order anything else going forward. We also tried the Ice Cream for dessert. It's prepared table side and is covered in a sauce that contains shaved almonds (and other secret ingredients) sautéed with Amaretto, Frangeleco and two other liqueurs. It was an outstanding, I could eat a gallon of this stuff. This place is a gem. read more

Tonight's my husband and I had a wonderful experience here. Our server Adrian was awesome! The food and drinks were incredible. We walked away saying it was nice to have a fantastic Italian meal here in west county without having to travel to the Hill. Huge for us since we live in St Albans and enjoy a little wine with dinner read more

WOWZA! Great experience with the food and experience. Immediately upon seating we were introduced to Adrian our server. No hurry between drinks, appetizers and entree's. Traditional Old Fashioned was excellent. I tried the Italian Old Fashioned and was just okay as my preference is a traditional old Fashioned. Highly recommend the Mussels for the appetizer. The mussels were perfectly cooked and the broth was delicious to be dipped in with the bread; so delicious. The Sicilian Chicken is OUTSTANDING! Tender, served HOT and perfectly prepared; highly recommended. The Rissotto Seafood was great. I wanted to see the seafood and it was very good with a nice twinge of pepper flakes. I could do more heat but it was perfectly prepared. Ambiance was fantastic and Asian our server was outstanding personable too. Will definitely be back and asking for Adrian. If you don't want to go to The Hill; Buzzetta's is THE PLACE! Highly Recommend!!! read more

Enjoyed Buzzetta's! The food was great, the service was good, and it's a nice spot tucked away in the corner of the strip mall. Tried: scallops with a pink sauce pasta side, chicken Parmesan Loved: I really enjoyed their pink sauce and the chicken parm was great Disliked: The portions weren't very big - usually I think Italian restaurants have enormous portions, but we were hungry a few hours after we ate after getting an additional $6 pasta side. read more

The meal showed culinary promise. The calamari was notably fresh, while the sea bass was well-prepared with excellent depth of flavor. The linguine di mare was enjoyable, though somewhat heavy-handed with butter and garlic, which slightly overshadowed the dish's balance. Unfortunately, the service significantly detracted from the overall experience. Despite having a reservation at 6:30pm, and a simple order for two, our entrées did not arrive until approximately an hour after ordering. The delay was excessive and ultimately forced us to leave as soon as the food arrived, leaving us to hastily eat a few bites from the styrofoam to-go containers rather than enjoy them as intended. Given the $160 price point, the experience fell well short of expectations, making it difficult to recommend this restaurant to anyone. read more

I honestly am not sure how to even discuss the fact that our meal was absolutely one of the best Italian dinners we have had...like ever...the tortellini was nothing short of perfection. Many times when you order a pasta at a restaurant, it has an overwhelming taste of one ingredient such as garlic or cream - and this was just amazing. Then the chicken was the perfect amounting smoke/char to lemon sauce ratio. The absolute only part that could have been better was the risotto - there was a tad bit of a chew noting a bit under cooked - but the flavor completely made me want to eat it anyway! Well done Chef - we will be back!!! read more

We arrived at 4 without a reservation. We were quickly seated at a table for 2. Our waitress Leslie, took our wine orders immediately. We ordered the pomodoro salad as our appetizer. Leslie described as their version of a Caprese salad, an understatement! It is served with artichoke hearts and hearts of Palm! 3 slices of heirloom tomato make up the base. I ordered the beef medallions and my parter had a veal dish. They came to table shortly after we finished our salad. They were hot from the kitchen. The medallions were slightly undercooked but that's what I expected. They were so delicious! My partner loved her veal too. I failed to take pictures of my food which I should have done. This place is not a cafe, it is a Hill quality Italian Restaurant. The service is excellent. We will be back! read more

We were fortunate to get in on a Saturday evening with no reservations. The ambiance is fairly nice. The waiter took awhile to get to the table and seemed like he might be new. We had the toasted ravioli appetizer which was nothing special. The entrees were all good; unfortunately it took about an hour to get them. By the time they arrived, I had kind of lost my appetite. I was quite surprised at how high the prices were. Our total bill for four people with five drinks was $282 before tip. Two of the dishes were pasta, one was chicken, and one a shrimp dish. read more

Stopped into Buzzettas for dinner and it did not disappoint. Some of the best Italian I've had in STL. Service was a little slow, but the ambiance and food made up for it We got toasted ravioli and meatballs to start off. Breading for the ravs was delicious, meatballs were flavorful and juicy. The Sicilian Chicken was 10/10 would get again. The breading was perfect and the chicken was juicy. Also got the parpadelle pepperoni pasta, very light sauce with immense flavor. Desserts topped off the night. Tiramisu was delicious, as well as the chocolate cake. The salted caramel cheese was outstanding. Chocolate cake wasn't really cake, more like a mouse texture. read more

Truly authentic Italian cuisine! The ambience, service and food all top notch! You know you are in the right place when you witness entrees being brought out on a serving cart! You just don't get that everywhere. Party of 4, we had reservations rather early at 5:30p and we're promptly seated. All of the staff were friendly and attentive. Toasted Rav for the starter and I was happy to find out that were filled to the brim, no awkward air pockets here! The flavor was enjoyable as well. For my meal, I opted for Fettuccine Alfredo and the appetizer order of meatballs. The pasta was definitely made fresh, nice and light not heavy and the sauce was buttery and cheesy. I took home 1/2 of the meal. Definitely a wonderful experience. No need to drive to The Hill, West Co has the Hill right here! read more

First time in and decided to check it out on the advice of some friends. It is located in the same shopping center where Oishi is. This used to be the old location for Filippos. As soon as you enter is the hostess and we were promptly seated earlier than our reservation time because we arrived very early. I like what they've done to the inside. The bar is the central feature to the restaurant with some bar seating in case you didn't make a reservation or just want to watch a game. There are plenty of tables and I think there is even a private room. Our server was very professional, friendly and attentive. He explained the specials for the night and they had 3 different fish specialties which we were thrilled about because it is hard to find good restaurants with lots of seafood options in STL. Three of us ordered the Chilean Sea Bass special with asparagus and my son ordered the Filet. The filet was cooked perfectly according to him and the Sea Bass was a very large piece and prepared in caper wine sauce. Also cooked perfectly. I would say the only downside is the price. It is on the pricey side and once we received the check is when we realized that the fish special also had a special price of $55 a plate yikes! read more

Highly recommend! Delicious, Authentic Italian Cuisine. Great variety on the menu. The service is always excellent. The atmosphere in the restaurant is nice too. read more

The food was amazing best pasta I have had outside of The Hill. The service was a little slow

Food was good but the service was terrible. Spent 2.5 hours in what should have been a 1.5 hour experience.

First time eating here. Was a Saturday night. Didn't have reservations and was able to get in, but wouldn't rely on that again. Really enjoyed the live music. It was subtle but great vocals and added to a nice date night. Ambiance is great, similar to the restaurant that was previously in this spot. Service was pleasant and responsive. It was obvious they were adequately staffed which seems a challenge these days! The chicken spiedini was great, would get this again. Chicken Marsala had good flavor, needed more wine reduction sauce which we asked for and was provide without question. Really liked the cocktail menu. What is not indicated in the menu is that they offer gluten-free pasta. I'll be returning knowing that I can easily get any dish on the menu that won't ruin my stomach for the next two days! Will be back! read more

This is our second visit in about 3 months. Both times exceeded expectations. The food, service and ambience are excellent. I had the chicken spiedini which was awesome. My wife had the Sicilian Chicken which was super flavorful and tender. Not sure which I liked better as both were fabulous. The chef comes by to make sure everything is perfect. The staff are supper attentive and make sure you have a great experience. We will definitely be back. Highly recommended!! read more

Buzzetta's is a beautiful place, complete with black and white linens on the tables. Leslie was excellent, low key but she stayed on top of everything and was especially familiar with the menu which is always appreciated. The bread service is sesame seed YUMMY, I'm guessing it's sourced from the Hill. I went with two specials: Sicilian sea bass and a chopped Italian salad. The salad was very well prepared but the dressing was too ordinary--the dressing is everything to me. I prefer a somewhat sweet Italian dressing or something more St. Louis style with a milder vinegar note. The sea bass was excellent! The char from the Sicilian prep was scrumptious and it was also cooked to perfection. Hubby ordered the tortellini (he's an expert ha ha). He said it was good, but he's had better; it was a little bland and thought something like bacon would be the remedy. We got their limoncello layer cake and loved it. Perfect tartness and I was subsequently mad I didn't order my own piece. :) read more

Family owned and operated this new place has delicious Sicilian style food!! Run by Tony and his Mom, the kitchen prepares fresh, homemade dishes - i've been here twice and both dining experiences were terrific, especially Tony's table-side 'special' dessert! Ambience is dim like Italian fine-dining, but dress is relaxed (smart) casual, or you can get dressed up for a special occasion here. Service was friendly and efficient, and they do have limited hours so check ahead or make a reservation. Overall, a 4.25+ rating for me. Expect entrees to range $20-35pp, with daily specials perhaps more (so ask). Starters run $10-15, great to share. A couple standout apps we tried were the Eggplant Parmigiana, and flash-fried Spinach. LOVED both, in fact the Eggplant could be a meal by itself! For dinners, the Bolognese was very good, with slight sweetness in sauce taste, but plenty meaty and tender to eat - and they were flexible for us to select a different pasta choice vs. Capellini. The grilled Salmon special was delicious served over Risotto! The Chicken Spiedini was freshly made and hand-rolled with plenty of Spinach, Prosciutto, and Fontina Cheese - yum! To top off our meal, Tony prepared table-side flambé with vanilla ice cream dessert - WOW fantastic treat! If you're looking for a new spot to try and like Sicilian style Italian food, come visit Tony at Buzzetta's. ENJOY!! read more

My wife and I went here Saturday night for our date night. If you have never tried this restaurant, I highly recommend it. It's tucked away in the popular Chesterfield Valley area right next to Oishi Sushi. Our waiter was the son of the owner of Buzzetta's and he was very timely and professional. He recommended our salted caramel cheesecake which was delicious. We ordered the calamari for an appetizer and were pleasantly surprised it came with flash fried spinach as well. The sauce for the calamari was addicting! My wife ordered the tortellini and I ordered the steak medallions. The tortellini was savory and the steak was cooked perfectly. If you're looking for a fancy Italian restaurant that won't break the budget, Buzzetta's is the place. From the decor to the staff to the food, everything was excellent. My wife and I will be back very soon! read more

Loud in the dining area, hard to hear our selves or our server. It took 30 min to get our cocktails. The bread kept us preoccupied. My Linguine del Mare had a good amount of shrimp, 2 scallops and had a rich creamy sauce. Our server was kind of awkward & talked too softly. The best part of the visit was the food. It's debatable if that is enough to bring us back. read more

Trying out this new Italian place across from the chesterfield valley theater. They said you will need to make rsvp for Saturday dinner normally but they let us in tonight. They short staffed right now. The toasted ravs were really good. The home made meat sauce was thick and chunky. The bread service was on point too. Warm fluffy Italian bread with a crunchy toasted seasame seed crust. Served with cold but not frozen butter pads. I got the chicken speidini and it was executed well but a few flavors were strange to me. They put some oranges stuffed in the chicken which was mild in flavor but added a citris note that didn't fit. The risotto wasn't for me, it had a really strong olive flavor. My wife got the beef and veal tortellini and it was really good. Flavors on point and creamy without being too rich. Maybe could have been a bit more sauce then. We got a piece of their chocolate cheesecake to go. read more

The service is excellent and the food is good, but not so good to justify the cost. We were there in the early evening and the staff was excellent. The atmosphere isn't special. For the cost of the dinner, I'd would've expected something a little better. read more

Stopped for dinner over the weekend, after reading a review on Yelp. What an outstanding find. One of the very best dinners that we have had in a long time. Had the special Chopped salad and it was excellent. Perfect mix of ingredients and wonderful dressing. We each had the eggplant parmigiana. It too was excellent, cooked perfectly and well seasoned. Although the space is limited the Decor is tasteful and elegant. Wait staff were available to anticipate what a diner might want. Our server, Chris was excellent. Couldn't say enough nice things. Feel like we found a gem and will be back. read more

We heard about Buzzetta's and tried it last Sundy (06/16) on Father's Day. Arrived at 7:30 and were seated near the bar within 10 minutes. There was plenty of staff and business was moderate, about 10 tables. We ordered cocktails and perused the menu. They didn't bring water to the table until we asked. We ordered the toasted ravioli as a starter. Shortly after, our drinks came out followed by ,fresh warm bread and olive oil, balsamic vinegar, & parmesan The bread was wonderful. The toasted ravioli came out with a nice . marinara sauce. Unfortunately, the ravioli had a slight char and left a burned aftertaste. We ordered our salads and entrees. She ordered the house mixed greens salad with house vinaigrette, and Medallions of Beef in a port reduction and onions, mushrooms, and artichokes. I ordered the hopped antipasti salad from the specials, and the Veal ala Lia. We ordered a bottle of Weather (Sonoma) Pinot Noir with dinner. They brought our wine out. It was a great bottle of wine, which turned out to be the best part of our meal. The salads came out soon after. Service was lacking. We had not salt and pepper on the table and had to ask for fresh ground pepper. The mixed green salad was nice, good size, but nothing special, except these amazing tiny sweet red peppers. They were delicious and we could have snacked on more of those. My chopped antipasti salad was less than special. Ut didn't seem freshly made to order. The enticing salami promised in the description was sparce while there was too much cheese which made it unbalanced. It5 was good but didn't meet live up to being a special salad. Unfortunately, our entrees arrived too soon. We weren't half-way thru our salads yet. The waitress came to our table and apologized for the mains coming out early. Her offer to take the back to the kitchen and hold them we declined. She should have said they would take them back and refire them. Her offer led us to believe they would be taken and kept warm until we were ready. More bad service, We kept our entrees and finished our salads with them. My veal was tasty, although not as tender as preferred. More sauce with the artichoke hearts, and peas would have been welcomed. The beef was very good and tender. Both came with asparagus perfectly cooked and deliciously seasoned. We finished sharing a piece of Limoncello cake. Light, yummy, refreshing, and perfect ending to our dinner. I'm giving three stars, being kind. The meal was good but not special. It fell short of its price tag. Service was a killer. Our server was very friendly but seemed distracted. In this price range, service needs to be on point. You shouldn't have to ask for water, or fresh ground pepper for your salad. I shouldn't have had to pour wine from our bottle. Basic standards of service are a must if you are claiming to be an upper tier restaurant. Overall, it was average compared to other Italian restaurant options. Glad we tried it but unsure if we will go back for another try. If we do go back, we'll definitely order the Weather Pinot! read more

I was back home to bury my wife of 55 years. Went to Buzzettas based on reviews. Of course there ok since the owner gave one of the ladies in our group $75 gift to NOT post a review. Almost two full hours from time we were seated until dinner arrived. My risotto was not undercooked, it was uncooked as one reviewer noted who was there at the same time. I mean EVERY dish was terrible. When we left we were only ones in dining room. Also, owner came over half hour in to tell us had no swordfish or other entree ordered. I mean ALL the food was terrible. When check arrived way over $300. Only alcohol was one or two beers, no dessert and only two appetizers for five of us. Big ripoff!!! Do not go near this place. Also the server and helpers horrible crappy attitudes. Just no excuse. read more

Second time dining here. This time I had the lemon shrimp risotto, it came with 4 large shrimp which were cooked great and risotto. The risotto was terrible.

I had dinner here a couple weeks ago with a few friends. I was impressed with the service and food. Buzzetta's really does so many things right; seated right away, server greeted and took drink order promptly, let us know dinner specials while we were enjoying our drinks, food came out with perfect timing and the owner stopped by our table and chatted with us for several minutes. I really felt like I was on the Hill having dinner. Our server was Leslie (which I remember because we share the same name), she is a real professional. I would suggest requesting her if you make a reservation (I will be requesting her whenever we dine here again). My Drinks & Meal Cocktails & Wine: Lemoncello Spritz (very refreshing) and Super Tuscan red wine. Appetizer: Flash Fried Spinach (squeeze the lemon on the spinach, amazing) Salad: Chopped Salad: perfect blend of greens, topping and dressing Entree: Seabass Special (the portion was amazing, the breading was so light and did not take away from the seabass, I am still thinking about that seabass) Dessert: Lemoncello Cake (There is no room left for dessert but the four of us split one piece and it was so light and delicious) Long review but that is just how amazing this dinner was. I will be back soon and often. Thank you for bring Hill quality Italian to the Chesterfield Valley. read more

Five Stars - Another Fantastic Visit! This was our third time dining here, and once again, it didn't disappoint! I asked our waiter, Adrian, about an item I had seen on the online menu that was no longer available. Without hesitation, he asked to borrow my phone, took it back to the kitchen, and showed it to the head chef, (an authentic Nona). She graciously agreed to make the dish just for me--and it was absolutely delicious. Talk about going above and beyond! There were three of us in our party, and everyone thoroughly enjoyed their meals. Also, shout-out to the young, energetic, and entertaining hostess who sat us--her positive vibe really set the tone for a great night. We'll definitely be back again soon! read more
