    Our food was absolutely delicious. The sea bass and beet salad were phenomenal. Toasted raviolis are a great starter. Our waiter was very attentive. Highly recommend.

    I’m a recent transplant from California and my wife was born and raised in St Louis. My first time dining at Charlie Gitto’s, and I’m hooked. This was definitely a five star experience all around. I’m looking forward to many more dining experiences.

    Excellent meal prior to St Louis Marathon. Wendy and Angel were exceptional serving us and making it a great experience. The food was delicious and the chocolate cake was a large portion and very tasty. Highly recommend when you go to St Louis.

    I wish I could give 4.5 stars! Dinner was great, almost perfect and I would definitely return in a heartbeat. The calamari was outstanding with tender strips of calamari as well as lightly breaded onion, green beans and pepperoncini rings. The toasted ravioli was deceptively good. My entree, the chicken lemonata was very good but the chicken was a little dry. The side of angel hair pasta was delicious. The cannoli dessert was possibly the best cannoli I’ve had.
