Charlie Gitto's On the Hill is a beloved Italian spot for a night out, known for its dark and homey atmosphere that is perfect for special occasions. The food remains consistently amazing, featuring highlights such as Toasted Rav's, fresh salads, and excellent dinners like Lasagna, veal, cannelloni, and sea bass. The restaurant is praised for having several of the best entrees in St. Louis, with the veal special receiving particular attention. Servers are knowledgeable, friendly, and provide perfect service, with guests appreciating their attentiveness and menu expertise. The wine list is wonderful and reasonably priced. Recent reviews mention delicious appetizers and specials, such as sea scallops with corn fritter, asparagus, and portobello mushrooms, as well as lobster spaghetti. Many guests find the food absolutely delicious and note that leftovers are common after a satisfying meal. The restaurant operates as a first-class establishment, with everything running smoothly. The dining experience is highly enjoyable. The food is stellar and the portions are large. The ambiance is great, with a romantic courtyard outside and inside a small, dimly lit, bustling restaurant. It's exactly what you want from a neighborhood Italian spot. The servers move around the place constantly and it nearly looks choreographed. The lobster bisque was creamy and delicious, and the calamari was a large portion and cooked perfectly. The spaghetti and meatballs and the lasagna were both unbelievably good. This is a special occasion or one time only place. Reservations are recommended as it books up quickly.
