Our Food 

Our pizza is thin crust with dough made from scratch. (Hand-tossed available at the Osage Beach location) Only the finest meats, cheeses, and freshest vegetables adorn the top. Since most of the pasta recipes originate from “The Hill” area of St. Louis you can expect to find many regional favorites like Toasted Ravioli, Baked Mostaccioli, Cannelloni con Bianco and Lasagna as well as house specialty pasta. But, if there is one stand-out item on the menu it has to be the House Salad. Cold, crisp and fresh, a blend of Iceberg and Romaine lettuce, diced red peppers, green onions and Provel cheese tossed in a red wine vinegar based creamy Italian dressing and sprinkled with parmesan cheese.

The Location

Enjoy outside dining with a beautiful view of the lake at the Lake Ozark location, only 2 miles west of Bagnell Dam Blvd., on Horseshoe Bend Pkwy, or enjoy the Big Game at the Osage Beach location across the street from Dierberg’s at the west entrance to the Outlet Mall. Our two locations mean we can better serve you and your family at the Lake. Both locations are exceptional, but we're sure after a few visits you'll have your favorite. So whether you need to absorb the gorgeous view from our Horseshoe Bend location, or catch up with your pals at the best place to watch the game at the Lake of the Ozarks, you'll find something for everyone in our restaurant.

Our drinks are served ice cold and ready for enjoyment every day. No matter what your preference is, with the vast choices on our menu, there is something to pair with your meal ever time.
