    A busy dining room at noon on Sunday.
    Michael S.

    This is a comfortable family oriented, Italian diner for dates, small groups, or casual business meetings. Beyond pizza and pasta, Frankie G's as a range of salads and sandwiches. I ordered something I don't often see in an Italian or family restaurant: a Reuben sandwich. It was a hearty portion with coleslaw as a side. It wasn't the best Ruben I've had - the corned beef could've been more tender - but it was completely acceptable and I'm not sorry. I ordered it.

    I used to come to this place all the time when I was a kid, so it has a place in my heart. I've never had any complaints about the food, except that I can never finish it (if you can even call that a bad thing). But oh man, the prices are way too high. The food is good don't get me wrong, but not THAT good.

    We recently utilized Frankie Gianino's catering for my sister in law's wedding on 9/21. They were extremely easy to work with and very reasonably priced. Our primary contact was Mike who was super helpful. Mike met us to tour the venue ahead time, arrived early the day of for set up, and during the dinner service was tirelessly running around himself collecting plates and drink wear. His staff were also super professional and friendly, The food was plentiful and delicious! Mike and his team also helped pack all of the leftovers for us so it was ready before tear down at the end of the night. We cannot thank Mike and his team enough and would recommend this catering service to everyone!

    Easy to access , it has plenty of public parking. We came in on a Saturday evening and got seated right away. They have gluten free options that are reasonably priced. The food was good with large portions. The service was good , quick to respond to our needs.

    With my Daughter Sister & Mother! Always a good time!!

    Wow. It is easy to see why Charlie Gitto's has garnered 4 1/2 stars overall on this site. It was…read morethat good. I was taught by brother that you should book your first dinner reservation as after flying all day, one is tired, and not able to make good decisions...hence eating at a TGI Fridays in New Orleans on our first night. I have heard about that since. Charlie's had the perfect vibe going as it has a great reputation. Wendy was also simply amazing and shared may stories of St Louis and was just a tremendous server. The only thing that tricked us was the Toasted Ravioli. It has meat in it, and my wife is vegetarian. The Arancini was terrific and the table bread was also quite tasty. My wife had the Manicotti and I had the Chicken Lemonata. So great. The bottle of the house Gitto's Red was the perfect wine as well. A great experience at a restaurant that is a legend in St. Louis and I am glad it was our first meal in the city.

    We enjoyed our visit to Charlie Gitto's On the Hill. We had a 5:00 reservation and arrived about 20…read moreminutes early but were seated right away. The vibe inside was warm, cozy, and sophisticated. There is also a small patio area that seemed to have a much different vibe. We were seated in a busy area of the restaurant, so there was frequent traffic passing by our table, which took away from the vibe a bit. It didn't bother us but I can see how it could bother others. Everyone we interacted with from the hostess to our waiter Brian and the other servers passing by our table, was friendly and welcoming. The manager even stopped to chat with us while we waited for our Uber. Now for the food, we started with the toasted ravioli we had heard so much about and it was good. For the main dish, we went with the lobster spaghetti which was one of the day's specials. The portion size was generous making it the perfect dish to share with my son. The dish was filled with lobster, shrimp, and other seafood, all tossed in a rich buttery sauce. We both really enjoyed it. Even though we were full from dinner, we didn't want to leave without trying dessert so we took a slice of carrot cake back to the hotel. It made a great late night snack. The cake was moist and the cream cheese icing was delicious. Overall, this is a nice spot for an Italian dinner.

It really is consistently good and we've never had a bad experience here. We started with cocktails and I had the espresso martini. It was very good! She had more of a fruity martini and also enjoyed it. They give you bread which is always a plus, and we started with an appetizer of mozzarella fritti which was fresh mozzarella and fried. Delicious. We also obviously had to get the salad and it was so good with the house dressing. We had the chicken piccata and the pollo Soto. My piccata came with a side of pasta and was very tasty. I loved the lemon and the capers. Our server was kind and helpful. I definitely recommend making a reservation because we went at noon on a Saturday and it was poppin! I'll be back :)

The interior is nothing fancy, but it has that standard charm of The Hill. The service was excellent, we had Katie. She could have told us she went to WashU and majored in waitressing and we would have believed her. Prompt, professional but slightly personable. Good combo. The food was GREAT. We couldn't decide which was better, the Chicken Picatta or the Chicken Speidini. They were both super high quality poultry mixed with a rich and flavorful sauce, yum. Katie even let us make the side shells "pink", by mixing marinara and Alfredo for us. The only reason I'm subtracting a star is that our salads were a bit wilted -- my Mom kept running into some weird looking greens. Regardless, we'll be back.
