Decaro’s 602 East 3rd Street, Alton, IL 62002

"Amazing salad and pizza! Friendly staff, clean tables and decent prices."

"I went 4pm. I ordered a custom pizza with black olives, onion, ham and extra cheese. It was ok. Maybe if you like reeeeally thin crust you would like it more. The service was good once they noticed me, I went at 4pm. The ambiance is good too, but nothing fancy."

"First time at Decaro's & everything we tried was great. Eric the owner was very hospitable, great interaction with guests, the place is CLEAN,lol I can't give you a review on the atmosphere of this place because we were the only ones there but over-all a great place to dine. Btw, they've got a house salad dressing that is phenomenal, it's a creamy Italian that was not overly sweet, seasoned or sour. Pricing is reasonable & affordable."

"I am updating my review of Decaro’s that was first posted five years ago. This review is from July, 2023. Decaro’s is an excellent, locally owned Italian/Pizza place that has outstanding food, a unique atmosphere both in terms of the physical layout and items and vibe, and we experienced really good service. We dined at Decaro’s on a Friday evening, around 7:00pm with two adults and two children under the age of 10. The Food: We took advantage of the Alton Restaurant Week special that was still offered and included two dinner salads, an appetizer, and a two topping medium pizza for $29.99. We then ordered another large pizza as the entire family was quite hungry! The ravioli’s came first and were hot, toasted (read: fried) to perfection, along with marinara sauce, as you can see in the photo. The toasted raviolis were outstanding! I am not going to rank them in the top 2-3 that I have had in the STL area, but they are very, very good and we highly enjoyed them and I would recommend them to anyone eating at Decaro’s. The dinner salads were also quite good. We chose a meatball and pepperoni for the medium and a pepperoni for the large. The pizzas are excellent! As you can see from the photos, they are thin crust pizzas and they truly are thin crust. They are St. Louis Style pizzas so think Imo’s but the cheese is not straight provel like Imo’s. It is delicious! Both pizzas had a great taste and were devoured by the entire family. The Service: We had excellent service on this trip. The children were treated incredibly well as were the adults. Drinks were refilled consistently, the server was very friendly to all, and we had no complaints whatsoever. The Atmosphere: We ate in the “bar” area toward the back since Decaro’s was busy when we arrived. It is a neat atmosphere all the way around and the “wedge-shaped” restaurant has a slightly different feel in the front as a more traditional Italian eatery with huge windows facing the Mississippi River while the back has more of a speakeasy vibe with televisions, a bar, and gaming machines. We loved it! I highly recommend Decaro’s if you are in the mood for Italian, especially pizza. We will be back."

"Found this restaurant on Google and decided why not. Lots of table seating available, as well as a small bar seating area. Design of the restaurant is unique due to its diamond shape interior with seating starting in the front as soon as you enter and wrapping around to the left. Small adult game area in close proximity to the bar, TV's, and bathroom. We ordered 2 Boscoe sticks, The Frank, and 2 small salads. The pizza sauce was outstanding! I found the salami to be slightly overpowering flavor wise, but it was still good. I wish the Boscoe sticks came in a bundle instead of $1.99 per stick, but man were they good. Service was friendly and attentive. Food arrived fresh and hot. Limited beer options on tap, but loved trying the local craft beer. We'll definitely be back."
