Offering cultural classics like chicken parmesan and eggplant paninis, lasagna, pizzas, Italian steaks, meatball grinders, and calzones, Jovito’s Italian Café & Deli also serves a variety of other fresh, creative items. The majority of its menu offerings, including antipasto salads like the Sicilian Olive and Artichoke Tomato, are made from scratch; they roll their meatballs and hand-press the Italian steaks every day.
Hidden within each hand-crafted confection at Bootleg Bourbon Balls are high-proof spirits from the regional distilleries of Missouri. Using fine imported chocolates from Belgium and France, the dangerously delicious creations come in a variety of flavors, incorporating pecan, truffle, and coconut alongside bourbon, whiskey, and rum. Customers treated to a box are sure to have their sweet tooth satisfied.
The diner is the bedrock of American comfort cuisine, and no one does it better than Corner Café. Ed and Kathi Rule’s 40 seat joint serve good old breakfast and lunch home cooking, with the kinds of dishes diner lovers yearn for. Their menu was built on biscuits and gravy, cinnamon rolls, fried chicken and tenderloin sandwiches – and though they have expanded their options, they make it all with the same timeless love.
