Bright space with lots of tables but not many customers. We should have been warned by the fact we passed several restaurants on our way to Monica's with packed parking lots and arrived at Monical's only a couple. Against our better judgement we proceeded in anyway. Server was super nice and outgoing. Tried to explain the menu but to no avail. I am still scratching my head on how the menu was supposed to be deciphered. We ended up just winging it and hoping for the best. What arrived was two small pizza's that, although the window stated voted best St. Louis pizza, was not the best pizza, St. Louis or otherwise. Although I asked, there was some cheese other than mozzarella or proved and I was not a fan. We were more than 45 minutes from home but even if this was right up the road, I wouldn't patronize. Sorry to say, we didn't like the pizza and could not make head nor tails of the menu

We got dinner at Monical's last weekend. I have to say they have some of the most delicious pizza I mean it is absolutely amazing. However, the prices are definitely high. We ate at Monicals and it took a very long time to get our food. However, our server was great. She was super sweet and whenever we did get our food we were impressed. This is definitely a good place to get pizza, however, be ready to spend some money.

First time here for #pizzapassport This is a chain, mostly in central Illinois, but don't let that deter you from trying them. They were voted "best pizza in St Louis" in 2018, according to the Post-Dispatch Go section. Of course, "best" of anything is subject to one's own taste. We will definitely try them again in the future. We ordered at the counter then found a table. Service was okay, we had to wait for someone to check on us for refills, but perhaps that's because it was early afternoon. They weren't busy, but probably short-staffed. They offer several pizza and sandwich choices.

Pathetic excuse for a 5 topping pizza. $33 w/delivery and tip.

What could improve? Start with the price point and work forward. Pizza was undercooked dough and cheese sprinkled with 5 dollars worth of ingrediants. Sad.

Is calling your customer a Dumbass good for business? I immediately asked to speak to the manager and showed her the receipt, and the first thing out of her mouth was "Oh they were just playing around." Incredibly rude, absolutely unbelievable.

Interesting way to deliver Pizza...but it worked.

This is my second time eating pizza from Monical's. We were not impressed with the first dine in visit...as we felt the pizza was pretty generic for the price. I still kind of feel this way, but added an extra star for one thing in particular. The phone service was fine. Courteous young lady di managed delivery expectations for a pending snow storm. She said possibly 2 hours - and it was there in 45 minutes. Perfect. Pizzas were delivered in foil and paper bags. Odd, but it worked...and there were no boxes to worry about recycling or having to run outside in the sub freezing temps. Pizza was in great shape and warm. We ordered one thin and one pan pizza. I did not have expecations for either. The thin crust was bland - even with the 'provel' mix. It was like eating cardboard with cheese that slid off. Also, the 'slices' were cut so small, I felt like it was a 5 year old pizza party situation. The pan pizza is another story. This is what you should get. Very soft and doughy with crispy edges. Like a combination of 1980s Pizza Hut, Godfathers and Rocky Rococco (remember them?). Toppings were loaded - and there was plenty of cheese. We got everything on it...and they didn't skip. Wonderful pizza. Here is the deal though...before tip, our order for 2 pies was over 50 bucks (which included delivery). It was about 60 after tip. 60 bucks for 2 pies...no breadsticks, drinks, wings or salads. This is not Giordanos. I could be wrong, but I feel like that is a good pop for one above average...and one below mediocre pizza. But...I will probably go back one more time because darnit...I do like that pan pie.

I've been here several times & it's always a good experience! It's located in a shopping center…read more There's both tables & booth and the aesthetic is clean although it still feels homey. There's both tables and booths along the walls. If you're in a larger party I def recommend calling ahead. We've had cocktails here, chicken parm sandwich, grilled chicken panino sandwich, fratellis salad, chicken Alfredo, tutto mare, spaghetti, the al formaggio, and the affogato. Everything has been delicious, fresh, and hot! The only complaint I'd make is that although it says panini for sandwiches they aren't the traditional paninis that are pressed & grilled but instead are just sandwiches so that was disappointing to find out after the fact. The staff are so friendly and attentive we hadn't been for almost 2 months and our waitress still remembered us & what I usually order. I love getting the al formaggio but instead of ravioli I get fettuccine, I love being able to have a portion of all 3 yummy sauces they have. Overall a great restaurant! I love that it's family owned, fresh ingredients, and a lot of stuff made from scratch (complimentary bread is yummy). My only true complaint would be that they don't sell that creamy Italian dressing by the bottle, would totally buy it all the time it's so yummy! Anytime we're in the area we'll be stopping by.

Even though we were 25 minutes early, our table was ready and we were immediately seated. We were greeted warmly upon arrival and also minutes after we were seated by our server. Our server was friendly and efficient. Drinks were delivered and refilled, as necessary. The ambiance is casual and comfortable. The decor is simple and tasteful. We waited a reasonable amount of time for our food, which was delivered hot and tasty. The only dish that wasn't 100% was my Chicken Spedini. I have had it there once before and it was amazing. This time, the lemon sauce was thick and sweet. Last time it was lemony and buttery. Otherwise, the Veal Parm was perfect, as were all of the other dishes. This is a nice restaurant with great service and quality cooked and tasting food.

Combination salad is to die for. Pasta is very good and portions are huge!!! Perfect for leftoversread more

This is our 3rd time to the restaurant in the last two months. It was acquired by a new owner after…read morethe previous owner sold it. It used to be called Madison's Cafe for many years. Our waitress told us that when the new owners took over they were able to buy some of the original recipes so people still come in for things they used to enjoy from the Madison's ownership. At our last visit we ordered the following: large combination salad to share amongst three people, fettuccini Alfredo, rigatoni carbonara and the beef mudega. The beef mudega came with soup which was ratatouille. For dessert we ordered the turtle cheesecake. Everything was great especially the salad (they're known for their salads) and the carbonara except for the beef mudega. It was not prepared the usual way that I am accustomed to so it tasted very off in my opinion. I could not bring myself to finish it, but I was fairly full from the salad anyhow. I just know not to order that again. I ate some of my spouses rigatoni carbonara and it was delicious. One of the few places left that actually tries to prepare carbonara with more costly ingredients than bacon bits. LOL The ratatouille was okay but not great. It takes a special skill to make great ratatouille so I'm not judging the whole place on one soup. The turtle cheesecake was wonderful but I will warn you it has a lot of caramel on it if that's not your thing, I wouldn't order it. Be sure and sign up for their rewards program as it offers $25 off a future visit after you've accumulated $250 in dining experiences. When weather warms up, we will be trying out the outdoor dining they have, but for now it's inside for us.

I decided to have lunch ordered today. I used, DoorDash to order the food for delivery. I had…read moreordered an entree and they had special on their house salad that you get two for price one. When my ordered was delivered, instead of an entree, I received an appetizer. I contacted, Erio's and DoorDash. Between them both, my ordered was made correctly and was delivered less than hour of my first delivery! Hands down, Erio's takes pride, not only in their food, but making sure that customers are satisfied with their order and secured in the knowledge that, they'll go above and beyond to make sure your experience and expectations is ! DoorDash also deserves praise as well! Again, 5 stars and 2 thumbs up is definitely deserved! One last note, always remember..if you're not happy with your order or you received a wrong order, contact DoorDash and more importantly, the restaurant. The restaurant will go above and beyond to ensure your order is correct :)

My fiance and I came here for his birthday. It was a gamble since neither of us had been here…read morebefore, but it definitely paid off! We came in on a Monday night, and the restaurant was rather busy, even for it being after 7pm. We were seated promptly by the window. The decor in the place is rather plain and, well, dated, but I'll never be picky about what a place looks like in the regard. Is it clean? Yes! Anyway, we had an opportunity to browse the menu before our waiter made it to our table. Mind you, it was a busy place and he was the only waiter, as far as I could figure out, so we were totally fine with a delay. We ordered an appetizer, mozzarella sticks, and we both ordered manicotti, one with red sauce and one with red/white sauce. I also ordered a side salad to try out their house dressing. Our appetizer came out fairly quickly, along with bread and butter. Both were great! I wished the mozzarella sticks were a bit warmer, but that's just me being picky. It wasn't cold by any means. Our manicotti came out pretty quickly. The presentation was very boring and plain: it was served on a plate, not a baking dish like many other places. However, the flavor? On point! It was sooo good. The pasta specifically tasted very fresh and was almost crepe-like in texture. Seriously tasty. The sauces were equally fantastic and not bland or boring at all. We wanted dessert, but we were so full! Next time we are totally doing dessert because I'm all about some tiramisu. It was a great meal and we will definitely be back. Don't sleep on this place and don't judge it based on the outside (a strip mall) or the decor. It's excellent!
