Charlie Gitto's On the Hill St. Louis Reviews
Upscale Pricing but Mediocre Experience
This is a restaurant whose good reputation has outlived the actual experience. In my last visit, there was an excessive amount of sugar used in lasagna sauce. The Siciliano Pizza was bland. Waitstaff was not trained in table etiquette. They repeatedl
Disappointing Dinner
A very disappointing dinner, the worst any of my family has ever had from restaurants on the hill. Their were 5 of us and we were all very disappointed!!
A LOVELY EVENING! Perfect service and terrific food!
Our experience was FANTASTIC! The service was perfect and the food...Oh, the food! BEST TOASTED RAVS EVER!! Made in-house, just enough crunch, thinner outer pasta than most and the filling has just the right amount of herbs and meat. Pastas are a
Great food and amazing service
Visiting St. Louis for our anniversary and looking for great Italian food. People recommended going to the hill, but it was very overwhelming with all the restaurants they had to choose from. We settled on Charlie Grittos and we hit the lottery! Aut
Great dining experience👍👍
Food and service were amazing. We have travelled worldwide, including Italy, and this was one of the best meals. If we weren’t travelling we would have brought some Pomodoro sauce home.
Best Italian Restaurant that I have ever been to
This place not only has great food and atmosphere but also great service. Just about everything on the menu is good. Lots of wait staff to make sure everything is taken care of.
When in St. Louis eat at Charley Gitti's on the Hill
Based on reviews we made reservations in advance which was wise as the place was busy. Multiple dining areas- all nicely decorated and set-up for a typical Italian meal. Extensive menu with everything sounding mouth watering. We chose salads to s
Full of flavor!
Not only was the food amazing the service went above and beyond! I believe it was Abby at the bar who served us and she was incredible. Management also walked around checking on everyone and they were so friendly! The toasted ravioli was to die for a
Excellent American Italian Restaurant
On a two night stop in St Louis, booked CGs on the strength of the TA reviews and so glad we did. Service was impeccable, from start to finish. Food was superb, I had the toasted ravioli, my wife the calamari, followed by a special of veal cordon bl
Best Restaurant On The Hill
I am from Chicago and we do Italian restaurants well. Charlie Gitto's is a must stop and the best restaurant in The Hill! The food and service here is great and competes with my hometown. People are friendly and professional, and the atmospher

Wow, what a great place! I got the recommendation from a friend when I was in St Louis. Called the restaurant short notice and asked for reservations for 10. After some checking they told me that they could make accommodations. We left and were ther
The food was awful.
I'm extremely disappointed... Was the first time there. Everything was soooo sweet. The sauce for the calamari, the red sauce for everything. The waiter didn't listen to us. He brought me the wrong order. To take the cake, the waiter forgot we were
Superb service and food.
Excellent ambience. Thoroughly enjoyed our evening. Will definitely return.
I'm so glad I tried this STL staple.
The food, drinks and ambiance were phenomenal. Our server Abby was delightful and attentive. The toasted ravioli were tender and delicious, the pasta was cooked to perfection and well seasoned. It's the most satisfying meal I've had in a long time. I

The restaurant was rather dark when you enter which gave it a lovely ambiance. We were told that we could sit at the bar since we did not have a reservation. I ordered a lovey Cosmo which was delicious. My dinner was Veal that was outstanding and

You can't find a better lasagna anywhere else in St.
Louis. Same goes for the toasted ravioli. Atmosphere is great and the staff couldn't be friendlier. You can always rely on a good experience at Charlie Gitto's.
I have been a fan of Charlie Gitto's for several years.
However, the last few times have been disappointing. Last night the meal was $320 for four people, including two kids, and it was subpar. My limoncello spritzer was watered down, and when I asked for it to be replaced, the server brought me a straw a

Truly one of the best meals I've had all year! We had a game plan going in and it was thrown out once we heard the specials. Tim, our server, provided amazing recommendations and was very attentive. The room was perfect for an intimate dining room on
Worth a visit
The service was impeccable - truly one of the best I’ve experienced. We had the toasted ravioli as an appetizer, and lasagna and veal nunzio for our entrees. They were all good, but not as good as I had expected. Maybe my expectations were too high
Italian on the Hill
From excellent service to impressive food preparation; dinner at Charlie’s was such an enjoyable experience. Joe, the cute manager, and staff are very knowledgeable, and welcoming. My wife and I had such a good evening, and look forward to returnin

Last night we took our 2 teens for a special dinner.
It was our first time there and I will say it did not live up to its reputation. We are used to fine dining. While the atmosphere was dim, old school-what you expect from an old Italian restaurant on the Hill it had a smell. It smelled like vomit in
Surprisingly good.
We got the Arancini rice balls - delicious, the Lobster pasta and the Nunzio Chicken. I highly recommend!
Not kid friendly.
They do not have high chairs. I put a request for a high chair in my reservation. It wasn't until we showed up with our children that they told us they have no high chairs. They should have addressed that when reviewing my reservation and calling for
Tried this place after all the great reviews on here and
Tried this place after all the great reviews on here and because they were about the only one open on a Sunday. The ambiance was dimly lit, but fancy seating. Our service was slow at first, but friendly for the whole visit and tried to get us to try
More than an Italian restaurant! The steaks and seafood are the best in the city. This place should be listed as such.
Fabulous Italian but their steaks and seafood is the best in the city. Should be categorized as a steakhouse and seafood restaurant as well. I’ve been visiting this establishment since the 80s and have never had a negative experience.
Not as good as it used to be.
I am from out of state, and I always look forward to eating at Charlie Gitto’s On The Hill when I am in STL. I have probably eaten there at least ten times in the past 15 years. When I ate there about a year ago, I remember commenting that it was n
YES!!
We wound up here by chance. We knew we wanted to experience The Hill. The first restaurant we called was unable to accommodate our party of 6 that evening. This restaurant just happened to be open when we needed to call and make a reservation. I was
Wonderful meal
The restaurant has a cozy, neighborhood feel. The service was excellent; not only did Andrew do a wonderful job taking care of everything, but several other people brought us things and kept our table clean. We started with the delicious toasted ra

Great food, great atmosphere, great service! Had the lasagna and Cesar salad and it was fantastic. The lasagna felt authentic, with six layers of goodness. My colleagues all had something different and each was thrilled with their meal too. The am
Old School Italian
It is much much larger inside than it appears, although the bar is very small. We went on a Friday night without reservations. They said we could wait at the bar until a table was ready. After we were seated at the bar, one of the hosts asked if he c
Fantastic Date Night Dinner
Definitely our fave restaurant on The Hill. The Veal Osso Buco rocked!! The Tiramisu is to die for!! A shout out to our server Talitha. She made the evening feel so special.
CG was on the list of where to eat in St Louis
On our way to KC from Atl. Have heard great things about CG. Food was very good and the service was excellent, provided by Erica. She was professional and friendly. Kudos to Erica for your wonderful manner
Great place
Not many options on "the hill" on Monday nights. Glad we ended up at Charlie Gitto's. Very good! Got our party seated early which is always nice. My next trip to STL will include a trip back to Charlie Gitto's.
An Overly Crowded Dining Experience
We came here on a Friday night with family to celebrate a birthday. What a mistake! You can barely get into the receiving area & if your party hasn't all arrived you are directed to the full bar where you can dodge the wait staff. When we were se
Thank you Charlie Gitto's!
Charlie Gitto's to the rescue! I traveled to St Louis with a kiddo and her mom who have had a very tough year medically. After a ong hospital day, we were looking forward to a casual meal at an Italian place on the Hill that a friend had recommended
A Delicious Memorable Meal
Taking my 88 yr young Mother for early Saturday dinner, with very little notice. Patrick graciously accommodated us, seating us as soon as we arrived in a very convenient setting. Orion (sp) was our server. He was excellent. The Shrimp Special ap

Food was great and service was amazing.
Highly recommended. I usually don't like sea food, but Charlie's scallops were great. The ambiance is right for romance.
OLD SCHOOL AND THAT’S WHAT GREAT ABOUT IT
Original Cyrano’s? Gone. Cinerama? Busch’s Grove, (to name a few)? Gone. But……..Charlie Gitto’s? Still going strong. One of the reviews noted the menu hasn’t changed in 30 years. In the words of Bert Lance, “if it ain’t broke, don’t

Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Charlie Gitto's On the Hill St. Louis at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Charlie Gitto's On the Hill St. Louis page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* ImmortalStep65, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's bid.
* ImmortalStep65 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to ImmortalStep65 for any questions Peter may have as ImmortalStep65 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* ImmortalStep65 now uses their connections at Charlie Gitto's On the Hill St. Louis to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If ImmortalStep65 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, ImmortalStep65 receives the $200 reward which is credited to ImmortalStep65's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at Charlie Gitto's On the Hill St. Louis!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
