    Tuta Mari with white sauce
    John F.

    The good: excellent downtown location and plenty of space for dining inside and outside; recently renovated since my last visit. The Lemoncello drink was reported as really good but in a small amount for the glass it was served. The Old Fashioned was just okay, not concocted with bitters and simple syrup. Dinner salad was good. The eggplant Parmesan was good and better with the marinara. The Tuta mare was just okay and I know that I will never order again. The menu is extensive so I had higher expectations. A definite three for me.

    (i can't remember the name) stuffed with seafood though

    For a valentines date night, it was amazing. It was so cute and cozy, and the food came out great! Service is consistent and overall just a very great meal.

    Margherita pizza
    John K.

    I ordered the small margherita pizza. The first thing I noticed was all the grease on top of the pizza which was unappetizing. The pizza arrived hot which was nice. This pizza and a lot more cheese than other Margherita pizzas I've ordered in the past. This pizza also had diced tomatoes versus thin slices of the tomato which I also prefer. I was starving so I ate 4 pieces which were not tasty. I received excellent service at the bar from Tiffany. Charming little restaurant but it missed the mark on this pizza.

    I found myself in Eureka at lunch time. There's a lot to be said about a place that smells good from outside!! The vibe is traditional Italian restaurant. The team seated us quickly and took good care of us. The menu is fairly extensive and honestly there is something for everyone. The cooler weather has me craving comfort foods. Pasta in a rich red sauce was exactly what I needed. I went with the cannelloni and a side salad. The house dressing was not a favorite. A little too much bite from the vinegar. The creamy Italian dressing was perfect. I was served a generous plate of pasta and sauce with bread so not to miss a single bit of sauce. The meal was reminiscent of some of the places on The Hill. They did a decent job for being so far outside of the city.

    Pepperoni & Bacon Pizza (Large)

    I hadn't been to a Joe Boccardi's location in years. My friend and I stopped in on a Friday evening for a quick dinner on the way out to my farm. We both ordered salads and shared a pepperoni and bacon pizza with extra sauce. It was all great. The pizza is thin and crisp and the toppings were plentiful, especially the bacon. The service was friendly and speedy. I enjoyed the salad as well. I'll definitely be back again for more of this pizza!

    First time here at this long established restaurant in Eureka it was for the most part a positive enjoyable experience. They have a nice covered patio area and bar service is also available, kid friendly and nice clean establishment.We settled on small side salad and a large Joe's special pizza minus green pepper, the salad was good especially with the house dressing, pizza was ok with plenty of toppings but I would have liked a bit more sauce on the crust.

    We were in the area so decided to try something new. This restaurant is nicely decorated and gives all the Italian restaurant vibes down to parmesan cheese on the tables. Menu is standard with lots of tasty options. We knew they had thin crust pizza and opted to share one. We ordered the Joe's Special which is similar to a supreme. Hubby added on a side caesar salad and we also ordered a 6 count toasted ravioli for an appetizer. They offer a bread basket with butter and that arrived first. The bread was cold as if from the fridge and so was the butter. It was okay but nothing exciting. Note that there was also oil on the table in case you want to dip the bread. Hubby reports that the caesar salad was very good with a nice dressing. Toasted ravs were good, but the meat sauce served with them was cold as if from the fridge. I would expect it to be warm. Though I must call out that the plating of them was fabulous! The pizza was average. I didn't love it and expected more. This pizza has hamburger, pepperoni, onion, green pepper and mushroom. We were surprised the mushroom didn't appear fresh though the other ingredients did. I also ordered a side of ranch to dip my pizza in but it was terrible sadly... I didn't even end up using it after tasting it. If you've read any of my reviews you know I appreciate a good ranch and use it a lot. Our service was amazing! Our server answered questions I had, was friendly and stayed on top of drink refills and checking on us. We really enjoyed it. I will point out when Hubby ordered his caesar salad he asked if they offered it in a small size and she said yes and that's what he received. We were also charged appropriately for it. A bit later customers behind us with a different waitress asked for the same thing and the waitress told them no it only comes in full size... so there may be difference experiences with different staff... or maybe a training opportunity here. Overall, it wasn't okay, but just okay. I wouldn't come back with so many other good options around this location and in general in St Louis.

    While on a Rt. 66 X-country Trip, we suffered a breakdown in our 1930 Ford. So we had to eat close to our hotel. Luckily we found this wonderful Italian restaurant. It is located just off the main street and the blended exterior is a bit deceiving. Inside it has a open and comfortable interior. The staff greeted us and we were promptly seated. Our server, Chanelle, was excellent. She was quick, attentive and took great care of us. I had the Chicken Carbonaro with shells and white sauce. Delicious. We ended up staying in the area due to car breakdown but this establishment made it a little easier to take. If you are cruising through Eureka on Rt. 66, check this place out.

    Well I want to start off with the service...it wasn't BAD, but it should've been better. I got refills and stuff but it wasn't very hospitable. No smiles. No "thank you" or any personality. As for the food, VERY bland. Tasted watered down. Honestly I think a jar of store bought sauce would taste better. It's especially disappointing because the price point is pretty high for such low quality food. My pasta con broccoli was $16.50. As for the atmosphere of the restaurant...it's not bad but again, just not worth it at all. Honestly we only came here because we didn't want to drive all the way to rich & Charlie's, but we will NOT be coming back.

    The remains of our large Joe's special pizza

    We always love Joe's and get take out from the Fenton location regularly. We ventured out to the Eureka location for a family birthday dinner and as usual were not disappointed. We always get the Joe's special pizza. It is so good!! We can get the same toppings from other places but it is not at all the same. I also love their chicken parm. It comes with a nice size side salad and a giant side of pasta. They put their meat sauce on the chicken Parmesan which is a nice change and is so tasty. Visit any of Joe's locations and I promise you won't be disappointed.

    The Joe's pizza cooked well done is hands down the best pizza in the city. My mouth is watering just writing this review!

    Wow! An amazing hidden gem in a small town that is sure to please any palate!…read more The service - 5 Stars! The staff treats you like family and are on it, no matter how busy. They are fun and made us want to keep coming back (which we did)! * Sammy - you are SPECTACULAR! The food - 5 stars! From the pretzel and yummy cheese to the pizza, absolutely spot on. The French onion soup had a depth of flavor and topped with an oversized piece of bread covered in cheese - heavenly! The salads are fresh and the dressings are on the top of the list I have tasted. The atmosphere - 5 stars! It's a lovely, yet smaller restaurant that is decorated to suite any person that walks in. Extremely clean and the patrons all know each other. The owners are welcoming and care about their customers. It's like dinner and a show with the entire interactions. I need to try the BBQ next time I'm in town!

    A charming little bar & grill with standard pub fare. Service was quick on a busy Saturday…read moreafternoon. I had the "Best" French Dip, which was decent but far from the best I've ever had. Their fries are shoestring, almost similar to McDonald's, which isn't my favorite style at a sit-down restaurant. Next time I would probably order one of their specialities as they sound a little more exciting than what I got.
