Napoli Brothers did a fantastic job for my family ‘s early holiday lunch. My family came in from California and are used to dining in upscale west coast restaurants. They were impressed by the atmosphere here, the New Haven style pizza, lasagna, and dry rubbed chicken wings. The service was very friendly and timely. I would heartily recommend Napoli Brothers!

I had been wanting to try John Mineo’s for some time, and am so glad that I finally did. The restaurant is absolutely beautiful, and the lunch menu is a great deal. The seafood pasta was out of this world, and the chocolate peanut butter pie was heavenly. My server Rick was just wonderful, and made certain that my experience was perfect. It has to be the most authentic Italian restaurant in St. Louis. I look forward to returning.
