Massa's St. Charles

My wife and I had a great lunch today at Massa's in St. Charles. We have not eaten out much in the last year or so due to COVID restrictions and the fact we have been eating healthier and dieting, but we have started to eat out a few times in the last two months to enjoy some good food and "cheat" on our diet. We had A++ service today that warranted a review. I do not leave reviews very often, but felt the urge to recognize our server Erin today as well as the food. The food was excellent and the friendliness and professionalism of Erin exceeded our expectations. My wife even commented later after we were home that we rarely find such a friendly and hospitable server. Great service is hard to find these days, but I am happy to share that it still exists in these crazy times we live in today. Although this was our first visit to Massa's in St. Charles it will most certainly not be our last.

The ravioli for my wife was cold, my mother asked for no shrimp in her pasta but it was in there and my dad got a sprite instead of a water. My meatball sub was great though. They were very short handed that day from the cooks to the servers and they were doing the best they could. This was the first review I have given them after being there about half a dozen times and this was the first time I had a less than great experience.

We had our rehearsal dinner here and they were absolutely AMAZING. Our server (I wish I remembered her name) went more than above and beyond for us, we couldn't have asked for a better waitress. The owner was a huge help as well. The food was all divine as well as the drinks.

I'd call it "down home" if I'd grown up in Italy. It was comfortable, the food was great (I had the Cannelloni, and shared the Breaded Mushrooms) and the house Merlot was all I could ask for. FYI: Don't let the "horseradish sauce" served with the mushrooms put you off, it has total horseradish flavor without the heat.

We visit often in the restaurant. However, we decided to stay in and try online ordering .Very easy. I pulled up at the St Charles location and someone came out within 2 minutes. It was a great experience with service and food
