HISTORY:
Boccardi's had its beginning when Maria's father, the late Luigi (Lou) Boccardi came to the Hill in St. Louis from his home in Naples, Italy in 1964. Lou was a genius in the art of preparing delicious Mediterranean cuisine. Within a few years, he established the famed Lou Boccardi's Restaurant on Magnolia Avenue in St. Louis, Missouri. Dining at Boccardi's has been a pleasure shared by thousands from every corner of the world. The goal of Boccardi's Italian Imports is to bring the pleasures of delicious Italian food and "The Tast of the Hill" to the Springfield community.
