    Italian trip
    Emily S.

    Absolutely love Gioia's!! This location has lots of seating and is open later than the other locations which is a plus. We ordered in-person and the service was great. Usually the hot salami with the garlic cheese bread is my go-to order. I decided to branch out and try the Italian trio which was just as awesome. Be warned it does come drenched in oil & vinegar if that's your thing. Next time I might say light oil and vinegar.

    As a St. Charles County resident we are lucky that Gioia's finally made it across the river! They take deli sandwiches to the next level. From the healthy portions of proteins and toppings to the indulgent inclusion of garlic cheese bread, you really can't make a wrong choice. My favorites are the Spicy Dagget and the Italian Trio. Try not to focus on just the sandwiches, their deli salad is a unique blend of mixed greens, provel and Parmesan, black olives and pepperoncinis, and if they have soup available, you better take advantage, because it's not always on the menu. Also make sure you check the cooler before you leave to stock up on Hot Salami Queso and summer sausage! They do tend to be quite busy so I recommend ordering on the app. They have done an excellent job of streamlining the ordering and pick up process to make things move along as quickly as possible.

    If you are wondering if their original hot salami sandwich lives up to the hype, the answer is yes! My mom and I both got a 6in and just half was enough to fill us up! They are generous with the amount of meat and toppings you are given, and the prices are not bad for a quality hot sandwich. The staff were infectiously happy even though they were pretty busy when I visited, the service was also quick I don't think I waited more than 15 minutes even though they were packed! Love that they are right by my work!

    My sandwich was perfect! Crisp lettuce with so much flavor. I planned to eat the second half later but couldn't stop. I had a cold sandwich this time, but will be back to try a hot one soon! Highly recommend! Unfortunately, the woman checking out was not as enthusiastic as others, by a long shot, but my friend and I wanted to try it no matter what. And who knows what someone else is going through, no biggie. I'll be back regardless.

    Wow! What a dinning experience! First time at Noto and was completely blown away, first; the…read moreservice ( Haven was her name) was awesome. Such a positive vibe from the start. Very freindly and professional at the same time lots of fun. Made dining very comfortable. The atmosphere is very nice ( a little loud when packed). The food was AMAZING. ( not unlike Haven). From the starter to pizza and the pasta , was delicious. Came in expecting expensive itialian food but was so refreshing to find this different and delicious variety and the flavors, how they paired together so well. This was what I have been needing and didn't know it ! Got me excited about food again. I look forward to returning and trying what's next! I know I will be pleased. If you crave diff, better,and service that is above and beyond make sure you make a reservation at Noto. Well worth every penny and not pricey for the kind of food and dinning experience you will have. If I could give it 6 stars I would give it seven if you know what I mean. Highly recommend trying Noto. You won't regret it. And I recommend asking for Haven if you can. She was great! I must mention again as well, the food was awesome!! Definitely needed something fresh and different from the same old same old. And I heard the menu is about to change ! I can't wait to try it.GREAT JOB !!

I ordered the shrimp pasta, and it easily earns my #stlouispescatarianapproved stamp. The shrimp was cooked perfectly, and the pasta had a great spicy flavor. I detest a heavy pasta. This one was one was perfect! We sat at the bar instead of a table, and I actually preferred the more relaxed atmosphere. We also shared a pizza that had a perfectly crisp crust. Lil brother got the pork chop (I'll take their word for it, I don't eat meat), and we finished the meal with affogato, which was a great way to end dinner. So glad I finally made it here.

    Given my previous rave review, it might seem strange that this follow-up is going to be so bad, but…read morethis place is really floundering. We will NEVER be back. My husband and I had dinner there last night for a special occasion. We were immediately a little freaked out by a male waiter who appeared to be bouncing off the walls, as if he was on crack. At one point, he almost fell into our table, and all I could think was, "please, please, don't let this be our waiter." Guess what. He was. He never introduced himself, but he acted like he thought he was onstage at a comedy club. He was just getting a massive kick out of what he apparently thinks is a personality, but all I could think is that this place clearly doesn't test for drugs. Since we were celebrating an occasion, we asked to start with a bottle of Chardonnay. After an unacceptable wait time, he brought me a single glass of Chardonnay and loudly declared it, "a generous pour." I had to remind him that we had ordered a bottle. Despite the fact that he never once introduced himself, we were able to learn his name from our check when he brought it, and his manager and coworkers will know exactly who he is from my description. Brother, I am not going to divulge your name here, but please call someone. Get some help. Please. He has what sounds to me to be a strong southern accent. I'm from Alabama, and I felt like I was back home, in the worst possible way. He has no concept of how to be a waiter, but he sure is impressed with himself and his schtick. Think Jeff Foxworthy - "you might be a redneck" - but without any of the charm. He's just loud, obnoxious, and incompetent. He practically hangs from the chandeliers. Again, we were celebrating a special occasion, and our waiter (let's call him M) eventually did figure out how to bring us a bottle of wine - which tasted off, with a vague aftertaste of olives, of all things. Then he dashed off, because there were clearly customers there who were far more important than us. He had ZERO interest in providing us service. He was hyperfocused on the large table that they were anticipating - clearly someone was having a party. That doesn't mean that my husband and I didn't deserve basic service. We were celebrating something too. We just weren't quite so ostentatious about it. I ordered the seafood ravioli, and my husband ordered spaghetti with one meatball. Neither meal came with a salad, but M seemed to desperately want my husband to have one, so he finally said, "fine, bring me the salad." Again, the wait time was downright silly, but M eventually brought him the salad, and then acted as if he had screwed up by not also bringing me a salad plate (I hadn't asked for one and didn't want one). According to my husband, the salad that nobody wanted (and that we had to pay extra for) was edible, but nothing special. Finally, our entrees came. The menu described the seafood ravioli as "Large ravioli noodles filled with lobster, shrimp, and scallops, served in a rich, creamy sauce with mushrooms, clams, and garlic." Sure, if you say so. What I actually got was CHEESE ravioli in a cream sauce that somehow managed to be both bland and overwhelming - quite a feat! The cheese smell was so strong it was nauseating. I did manage to find a few clams in the sauce, but it was nothing like what the menu had promised, and there wasn't even the slightest hint of seafood in the ravioli stuffing. If lobster, shrimp, or scallops were involved, I saw no sign of it. The few clams I managed to find in the sauce were the only hint that this was supposed to be a seafood dish. It was quite some time before M bothered to acknowledge us again, so when he finally did check on us, I explained that my dish was inedible. His demeanor changed completely, and from then on, he barely acknowledged us, and when he did, he was rude. He didn't apologize for the bad food. He didn't ask if I'd like anything else. He just walked away with my barely-touched food, clearly pissed, and he couldn't resist making a snide comment about having to ask his manager if he could take it off the bill, because he didn't have the authority to do it on his own (I hadn't asked him to). The manager didn't bother to say anything to us, and M barely spoke to us again. I went home hungry. Some celebration. At this point, I just wanted out of this place, so as soon as my husband finished his food, we were out of there as fast as we could move. What we had hoped would be a pleasant celebratory dinner, ended up being, hands-down, my worst restaurant experience ever, and we will NEVER be back.

    Everything was ok. Not the best, not the worst. I'd return. We had a screaming kid next to us…read more Definitely parents issue, not restaurants fault!

    We hosted a gathering in the private room for a special event, and it was a wonderful experience…read more The service was attentive, and the ambience was warm and inviting. The restaurant used nice dishes, linens and place settings for each table. We ordered the lasagna and wings for the group, and everyone raved about how delicious they were.

There was an issue with their card machine so hoping that gets repaired is my only feedback.

    We found this hidden gem recently and really enjoyed our experience. It's retro with 70-90's decor…read more The food was good. Had the cheese curds with ranch and they just melted in your mouth. I don't know what cheese they use but they were one of the top ranked cheese curds I have ever had (I've had a lot of cheese curds). The Ravioli looked homemade, which is good. The red sauce for them was the best I've had! I usually never use the red sauce but I actually chose it over ranch - what? Yeah. The Cajun Pasta was great with just the right spice. The Seafood Cannelloni was very good, very hot (they are not kidding) and the sauce was very thick. It was almost like gravy consistently. It tasted great but I am not 100% sure I am on board since I usually like it a little thinner. All in all the seasoning on everything was great, the staff is super nice with a family owned vibe (that's good) and cool decor to reminisce. I plan on coming back and bringing my family. It's definitely worth checking out and trying more dishes.
