An upscale chain restaurant that doesn't feel like one, Yia Yia's offers a Mediterranean-inspired menu that makes apt use of a wood-fired oven. Pizzas are inventive, and the wood-roasted chicken is superb. The house-made desserts are also worth a go.
Selecting Riverfront Times' Best of St. Louis 2011 was no picnic. Choosing the winner meant several worthy candidates would go unmentioned -- until now. In this Gut Check series, we are chewing our wa... More »
