Half sausage, half pepperoni pizza!!
Renee W.

Big menu, great food from salads to pizza to chicken dishes and sandwiches. Busy place, had really good service for how busy and full restaurant was. I love the pizza. Can be noisy, so if you're looking for a quiet place, not so much.

Groper
Timira M.

We settled on coming here for dinner before a movie in the neighborhood. When we arrived we waited about 10-15 minutes for a table which wasn't long. After a short time waiting our waitress Courtney came over and introduced ourselves and took our drinks. She was pleasant, friendly, and helpful with making menu suggestions. We settled on the fiesta pasta, grouper, mozzarella sticks, and a side salad. This place gives generous potion sizes and we quickly realized that we could have ordered one entree and spilt it. No complaints because we have plenty to take home. The prices aren't bad and this seems to be a popular spot as it was packed and every table had customers at it. The food was great and customer service was excellent. As always until next time...

House salad...split in 2!
Katie W.

We went for dinner on Thursday and to our surprise it was so busy, always a good sign! However, we got sat rather quickly and our server came right over to get our drink order. The restaurant is VERY family friendly so it's a little loud if that's not your thing, we don't mind the noise. Our food came out quickly and BONUS....we waited to split a salad and they brought it out in 2 bowls already split. It's such a nice gesture and we don't have to "argue" over who got more, lol. Our food was perfect temperature and tasted even better. We havw been to Joey Bs a lot and will continue to come back because of the service and food.

Salad, full size.
Lisa G.

Food and service was good! It was busy at the time, and our waitress was working hard!

Ordered carry out tonight and the $20 spent on one order of wings which were beyond burnt! I can't believe they would actually let these go out the door. I bet if it was served in the restaurant they wouldn't have served them but because they knew we'd not see the issue until they were opened in our home, they didn't care. Plus, one wing was literally missing half the wing/bone! $20 for literal trash wings! Photo looks lighter than they actually are. Like chewing on leather.

The Hammer and homemade chips
Dana B.

I had been to Joey B's before, however a different location and it was a few years ago. I remembered that it was really good so looked forward to taking my teen daughter there for her first time. As she would say, "Meh." I was disappointed that it wasn't what I remembered. The ravioli is a very thick breading or whatever it is, the meat inside mushy, we did not enjoy that at all. Our meals were not bad, just nothing stood out as really good. The service was fine, nothing to complain about but also nothing stood out. It wasn't crowded, but also not empty and it was a Wednesday night. I don't think we'll go back, again, nothing exactly wrong, just "Meh."

Shrimp scampi pasta
Kathleen A.

I had the shrimp scampi pasta. This was just okay. It lacked lemon in the butter sauce, which for me is key to a good scampi. If they had even served it with a couple lemon wedges, it would have helped. I should have asked the waitress for some in retrospect. The server was very helpful and she would have brought me lemon if I had asked. It would have added allot. The ambiance is sports bar. Lots of huge TVs everywhere and pretty noisy. Great menu with lots of choices for the entire family so something for everyone. The bartolinos have been a staple in town for decades and the original one on Hampton was always known for their cannelloni. My sister had that and said it was very good. We split house salad which was huge and perfect for 2-3 ppl before dinner. Others had hammer sandwich, wings, spaghetti for the kids (they have a kids menu) and a fried chicken w gravy dinner. All were satisfied. I didn't take more pictures because my group gives me grief for doing that because I am on the Yelp elite squad and they don't appreciate the food pics while we are together.

It was my birthday and for 60+ years, my traditional b-day dinner has been rigatoni. My in-laws suggested Charlie Gitto's and it was fantastic. So, this year, we were again passing through St Louis on my birthday and I wanted to go back. I was hoping that it was as good as I remembered. I feared that I would be disappointed but I wasn't. It was as great as I remembered. I had their rigatoni with sausage, my wife had baked spaghetti with meatballs, my BIL had lasagna and my SIL had salmon. I also added a classic Ceasar salad. All of our entrees were excellent. The service is superb and definitely deserves a 5-star rating. Our waiter was excellent - he said he's been doing this for 18 years and was one of the best, most professional waiters I've ever met. Anthony, the manager, deserves special thanks for resolving an issue with where we were being seated. He was also the epitome of professionalism.

Although claiming to have invented the toasted ravs, really did not enjoy them. Caprese salad was good for this time of year- early June. My go to meal to rate Italian restaurants is chicken Marsala, and was unfortunately the worst. Chicken was overcooked, rather tasteless and hard to cut. Very little sauce, but good mushrooms. Side of red pasta helped but was too sweet.

It's a big restaurant with lots of seating and an extensive menu. The service was friendly and attentive. For an appetizer we chose toasted ravioli and they were some of the best I have had. Flavorful filling, crispy exterior, and plenty of Parmesan cheese. We all really enjoyed these. The complimentary bread with olive oil was also nice while we waited. Not a ton of places still have this. I also liked that the olive oil was seasoned which gave it a nice kick. For entrees we ordered two lasagnas, salmon pasta and a frisco burger. All were good but the lasagna was the standout. A little spicy and very filling. The salmon could have used a little extra salt but I loved the grilled flavor. Since it was my birthday they gave me a complimentary mini cannoli. It was so cute and very tasty! If I wasn't so full I would have loved a full sized one. If we go back again I would try a pizza and Palmer's style chicken. Both looked really good!

His talent and experience come through in every dish. The menu feels thoughtful and intentional, simple in execution but elevated by incredibly fresh, seasonal ingredients, with flavors that build perfectly from one bite to the next. You can taste the care in everything, from the house made pasta to the sauces, proteins, and vegetables, all perfectly cooked and balanced. What also sets this place apart, though, is the people. The staff and servers are genuinely excited about the food, knowledgeable about the ingredients and wine, and add to the overall experience. It is the kind of place you leave already thinking about when you can come back.

This time, we arrived at 6:30pm on a Friday night and were sat at a table in the main thoroughfare. The ambiance was poor and it was so loud that we needed to shout to be heard. We ordered the caramelized cauliflower appetizer which was drowning in cream sauce and so smothered in cheese that it no longer looked like a vegetable. It was too rich for us. They were considerate to give us plates to split the scampi style shrimp, which was well cooked. However, the grilled beef tenderloin and potatoes were very lackluster. We'd asked for medium rare and the kitchen must have been rushing as it was still raw in the middle. We tried to get the server's attention, but they were very busy and we gave up. A particularly strange and rude interaction from our server when collecting the check left a bad taste in our mouths. I was glad to see their popularity but disappointed at how it decreased the quality of our experience. Unfortunately, we had an unpleasant time overall. If you are planning to go, I recommend choosing a less busy time for a better experience.

We also stopped at the bar before dinner, and unfortunately that was the biggest letdown of the evening. The presentation and flavor of our cocktails were surprisingly disappointing--they looked and tasted more like drinks from a budget hotel bar than from one of The Hill's iconic restaurants. Thankfully, the incredible meal more than made up for the cocktails. With so many outstanding Italian restaurants on The Hill, we've been fortunate to try many of them, and Cunetto House of Pasta has firmly earned a spot in our personal Top 3.
