    The scallops with the corn, leeks and asparagus risotto was outstanding. The service was as always impeccable. It’s why Charlie Gitto’s is one of our favorite dinner destinations!

    Great meal, as always. Service was attentive, our waiter made solid recommendations and took good care of us. We were right by the hostess station, first table in, so it was kind of noisy and congested… but that’s life.

    When we arrived, we are greeted and seated promptly for our reservation. Excellent service throughout the meal. Fresh bread was warm and very flavorful. Several of our party had difficulty choosing between meals and the server suggested that we order half orders of each. Hadn’t seen that in a while. Food was extraordinary. Recommend this place highly.

    This is a destination restaurant for us. Anytime we are in the area, we make our reservations and go. The food is quality, lots of choices. Portions are great, the service is impeccable, attentive wait staff. This last trip we took the nephews ages 18 and 12, and my grandson is 6. They could not believe the wonderful treatment they received and just love the restaurant now. We know we should branch out and try other places places, but why when Charlie Gitto's is so good.

    Whether you are from St Louis or here from somewhere else, you need to try this restaurant! Known for its toasted ravioli but all their offerings are delicious! Service is attentive but not overbearing. One of, if not THE best in town!

    I'm sure there is no accolade I could offer that is somehow more unique or special about this institution. Charlie Gitto's On the Hill was exactly the kind of iconic St. Louis experience you'd want for a family celebration, business dinner, treat for visiting friends, or other notable occasion. From arrival to departure, every server and staff member made eye contact and projected genuine attentiveness. Most seemed so loyal and seasoned to the establishment in the very best way. Order the Seafood Pasta Suzanne and you'll never be the same. Our server, Talitha, and the rest of the team made hot dishes appear and kept glasses full while ensuring we had plenty of time for organic conversation. Nice moment having the GM stop by and touch tables as well. In other words, this spot should be a training platform for all fine and casual servers to think about diners' perceptions and keep everything flowing and never rushed. We hope to be back!
