PrintA taste of The Hill
Charis Patires
Located next to the Premium Outlets Mall on Osage Beach Parkway, the newest Italian restaurant to open up at the Lake is easy to find, close to shopping and offers authentic cuisine.
Biggy's Italian Restaurant serves delicious, authentic Italian cuisine in a comfortable non-smoking atmosphere. The restaurant opened June 1 and features traditional pastas, premier pizzas, and succulent steaks for an affordable price.
Sam Tika, from Muscatine, Iowa, and Brent Boyles from Belleville, Ill., teamed up to open the casual Italian restaurant close to the outlet mall and the main roadway through the Lake.
"We wanted to bring a taste of “The Hill” in St. Louis to the Lake, giving diners here the opportunity to experience fine Italian cuisine but at an affordable price and in a casual setting," owner Boyles says.
They create meals with only the finest fresh ingredients, make pasta from scratch and bake fresh Italian bread daily.
There is also a full-service bar area where you can enjoy drink specials while watching a game. You can view the full menu on the Biggy’s website.
Biggy’s offers free Wi-Fi access and has a media room, so you can hold a working lunch for your business or browse the Internet at your table. For large groups, wedding rehearsals or graduation dinners, you can book Biggy's banquet room, which seats up to 75 people.
Kid friendly options on the menu are offered and children receive stick-on mustaches during their meal.
Boyles says chefs Mike Emroski and Sam Redzep make the sauces fresh daily and offers dishes that are unique to the Lake area. The "Create Your Own Homemade Pasta" has also been a popular choice. That allows the diners to pick their favorite pasta, choose their favorite sauce and then select toppings such as vegetables, meatballs, sausage, veal or shrimp.
