This place is still about a 4/5 stars.
We were on our way to the Fox and needed a place we knew well and knew how to get into and out of in about 90 minutes. We chose Buzzetta's Italian Cafe in Chesterfield. There food is pretty good.
We had a reservation at 5. They must open at 4 as there were several tables already eating when we arrived.
When we arrived they tried to seat us at a hightop tables. I don't like hightop tables...they make my legs hurt. Mike asked if we could sit at a regular table (which were set for 4 people). The seating hostess said she'd have to check. This didn't sit to well with Mike...either let us make reservations and ask us if we want a high top, or allow some parties of 2 sit at regular tables. We did get a regular table in the end.
We started with a cocktail. Recently I have been on a quest to find places that have a cosmo as good as Cafe Napoli. This one was NOT as good. It was strong on the vodka and thus not perfect
Mike got his typical gin and tonic.
For dinner I asked for the eggplant parm appetizer with a side of cappelini pasta with red sauce. I got the appetizer, but I got penne pasta...not horrible, but not what I asked for. Since we were going to the Fox, Mike didn't want to split a whole bottle of wine, so I got a glass of Sebastiani. It was good
Mike asked for the chicken parm (he would have preferred veal) with a side of cappelini with red sauce (he was supposed to get green beans, but he wanted to substitute pasta). He too got the penne.
Overall the food is good. The ambiance is nice. The waiter was good. It is a nice place without having to go all the way into St. Louis.
