Caito's Sicilian Restaurant & Pizzeria
Pastas and Italian entrées are on Caito's menu, but pizza is the specialty. The BBQ chicken is a popular pie. For something different, try the spinjuine--a soft, Italian bread dough covered in a spicy meat sauce, mozzarella and provolone. The menu also offers gluten-free selections, such as rice penne pasta and pizzas with gluten-free crust. The restaurant caters special events. Caito's is open daily for lunch and dinner. It is about three miles from the trailhead of the Monarch-Chesterfield Levee Trail.

Villa Farotto
There's more than one way to enjoy Villa Farotto. The Vineyards is Villa Farotto's upscale dining room, open for lunch and dinner Monday through Friday, and only for dinner on Saturday and Sunday. The menu includes pizzas, pastas, risottos, fresh seafood and steaks. The Rolls Royce porterhouse tops the steak entrées on the dinner menu; it's a 20-oz. prime cut covered in a lobster cream sauce. If you're hungry for veal, the Villa Farotto osso buco is well known here. Terrace seating outside the Vineyards room is available. Live music plays in the bar four nights a week. Villa Farotto's café is quick and casual---fine for folks who've just been walking or bike riding. The St. Louis-style pizza is a favorite on the café menu. Before you leave, check out the wine available for purchase in the restaurant market. Villa Farotto also caters. The restaurant is less than six miles from Dr. Edmund A. Babler Memorial State Park in Wildwood, Missouri. Babler State Park has 13 miles of hiking trails.
