Khrystal K. DavisMarch 12, 2016I've lived coming here since I was a kid and eating in a trolley car in the old factory. I still enjoy it just as much. The food is as great as the atmosphere. Try the Spumoni for dessert.Upvote6Downvote
Taco JonnyJune 2, 2014They have full meal deals that include a house pesto ranch salad, pasta of your choice, fresh bread, and ice cream. Dinner for two with drinks under $50. The building & atmosphere is immaculate.Upvote6Downvote
Food and service is good. However, if you are here, do yourself a favor and drive the extra 5 miles to the hill and enjoy some of the best and most authentic Italian the Midwest has to offer.Upvote1Downvote

Ninh PhamApril 14, 2014Lovely place. Good food. Very nice waiting staff except the greeter asked if I was a kid or I was just too small. I've heard worse though.UpvoteDownvote- Taco JonnyJune 2, 2014Great place to eat after going to the Gateway Arch. You can walk there easily from the arch parking garage.UpvoteDownvote

The Lasagna was very good.
