The Piccadilly Buffet - Now Piccadilly on Manhattan - A History

Many generations of Maplewoodians have crossed the border to enjoy fine food and good times at this landmark restaurant.

It may come as a surprise to many Maplewoodians that the Piccadilly Buffet, now called the Piccadilly on Manhattan is not actually in Maplewood.  While it is part of the Greenwood subdivision of Maplewood, it is just across the border in the City of St. Louis.

First opened by Niccolo Collida in the 1920's the Piccadilly Buffet served fine food and drink to generations of area residents.  After closing for just a few years, it was reopened by grandson Nick Collida and wife Maggie in 2007.  They carry on the family tradition serving American classic food in the beautifully restored building.

With ample space for dining inside or out and a very tasty menu, it's a good bet the Piccadilly on Manhattan will be around for generations to come.
