What the heck happened to my favorite Italian place in Belleville? Our waitress was unfriendly, uninterested, and very inattentive. The "salad" was a bowl full of lettuce with one (really? one!) pepperoni and half (really? half!) a cherry tomato. Whatever happened to putting cheese on a salad? I could have gotten better lasagna from Stouffers for 12 bucks and maybe there would have been some meat and cheese in it (Oh, and that would have been more palatable too!) Wow! Very disappointed, I guess Maxwell's is either cheaping out or has lost what made it great.

The place has been around downtown Belleville forever. Best food in town with more choices than you will find in the chains and a better environment as well. Cozy small but not cramped inside. Very friendly staff and good value in what you get for the price. Very popular with the lunch crowd for great salads. Really nice for a quiet evening with friends. Call ahead if you have a bigger group. Personally, I go for the pizza and have done so for over 20 years. There are a lot of choices for the rest of the family. They even serve good fish!
