    One of my favorites! The food is absolutely delicious. I had chicken parm, toasted ravioli, and crème brûlée. My husband had the chicken Marsala.

    Overall, it was good. The server was nice but swamped so it took awhile to get menus and drinks. Chicken Marsala was average.

    Charlie Gitto's on the Hill is a fantastic restaurant. From the moment we arrived, the staff was warm and friendly. We were super impressed with the lady who cleared our table. She told us how she learned English talking to customers! Welcome to America! The restaurant itself is lovely, with great ambiance, muted lighting, dark woods and beautiful cut glass windows separating the lovely rooms. The wine list was very good. I feel like I should have tried one of the Italian wines, but I saw my favorite Belle Glos pinot noir and couldn't resist. The food was spectacular. While I am not so sure about their claim to inventing fried ravioli, the fried ravioli tasted very good. The star of the dinner was the seafood! We shared the two seafood specials, a sea bass over risotto was buttery and melt in your mouth. The shrimp and lobster spaghetti was equally as spectacular, adding quite a bit of heat to a wine and butter sauce. The flavors were spot on. I was so disappointed that I didn't save room for dessert, but will remember next time. I don't get to St. Louis often, but I now have a favorite place. This may even be my new favorite restaurant anywhere!

    We had a great dinner at Charlie Gitto's. Service and food was very good. You aren't going to find the $9.99 dinner special, but you are certainly going to get what you pay for. We had a great dinner.

    Let's just get tonthe point, Wow!!!! As soon as you walk in its buzzing with laughing, talking and everyone happy to be there!! The food was absolutely exceptional from the toasted ravioli,which is a must have, as well as the calamari fritti. We sampled everything from pasta, chicken, steak and French onion soup. All was superb, that steak will melt in your mouth. Would recommend over and over again, worth every penny!!

    first time here - will definitely be coming back. the service was fantastic. Quin was our server and he was great explained the dishes, provided options that weren't advertised (like get half portions of pasta if you couldn't decide which to get). the drinks were delicious and service was prompt and did not feel rushed. it was a fantastic dinner out and we will definitely be back.

    Gitto's never fails to be excellent. My son chose it for his birthday meal. Quinn, our sever, was experienced, attentive and fabulous. We had a bottle from one of our favorite wineries, Orin Swift. Our table had a variety of pastas and mains, all were top notch. It was nice to have house made toasted ravioli versus the frozen ones. Again, another Gitto's touch. In short, a great meal to celebrate a special occasion.

    We had the lobster spaghetti, baked spaghetti with meatball’s, and the rigatoni with chicken, and it was amazing. Definitely recommend the lobster spaghetti.
