Since 1919 the Yacovelli Family has been providing St. Louis with some of the area’s finest Italian food at modest prices. I had the pleasure of dining at Yacovelli’s twice this past week, the food and service was perfect. 4^th Generation Joe Yacovelli (SLU Grad) was on hand to oversee the front and the back of the house. Kerry a veteran server of 23 years provided excellent service with a smile. Sunday afternoons are very lively as they feature “all you can eat while you’re in your seat!” family style fried chicken dinners. Secondly there was a large banquet going on, prepared by banquet cooks of 30 plus years; Liz and Dorothy.

     Insider Tip: Do not be detoured by a crowded parking lot. The place is huge, plenty of seating and parking in Yacovelli Plaza towards the rear.
