The Buzzetta family is well-known among residents of St. Louis for their Italian restaurants, including Benedettos on Main and Sapore Italian Cafe in Kirkwood. Another family restaurant, Buzzetta’s Italian Cafe, opens soon in Chesterfield.

Sapore Italian Cafe, 451 S. Kirkwood Road, offers a variety of Sicilian cuisine from fresh fish to homemade pastas under the supervision of owner, Paul Buzzetta. “I’ve been in the restaurant business since I can remember,” Buzzetta said. "You just pick up a lot of different recipes and styles of cooking, and it works out very well as far as creating new dishes and whatnot.”
