    Celebrated my birthday at Charlie Gitto’s on the Hill. The cocktails, appetizers, salad, pasta, and dessert were excellent! Service was impeccable. I’m not sure if it is due to acoustics, the sound level of the patrons, or both, but it was too noisy for it to be the romantic dinner we wanted. We will be back.

    Best Italian dishes. House salads and pastas are excellent. Shrimp and veal both good.

    I had the steak and my husband tried the lobster spaghetti special. Everything was amazing and fresh as always. We enjoyed a free slice of cake for my birthday. The garlic oil dip is our favorite!
