    Fantastic place. Old world charm. Food fantastic. Save some leftovers for breakfast. Had gnocchi delicios San marzano sauce. Gnocchi were like heavenly pillows. The arancini was served with a fantastic pesto sauce. Definitely coming back when I return to St L

    Amazing. We can’t say enough good about this place. Ravioli were crispy. Drinks were phenomenal. Order the Limoncello Spritzer. The seasonal salad was so fresh. Order the Veal Parm:m. And the desserts were delicious as well. Eat here ASAP

    My husband and I had an absolutely fabulous experience at Charlie Gitto’s. Our server was attentive, professional, and friendly. The entire service team was great. We were seated immediately upon arrival, never had to wait for (or even ask) drink refills, the service team was prompt with fresh parm for our entrees… overall awesome. Our food was delicious. We ordered the toasted ravioli appetizer, the Rigatonj with Sausage, the Gnocchi All Sorrentino, and the triple chocolate cake for dessert. On our servers suggestion, I added a house-made Italian sausage link to top off my pasta and my husband ordered a meatball, as the Gnocchi is sans meat. Every item was outstanding. The fresh bread was phenomenal too. So glad we grabbed a last minute reservation here!

    The food was fantastic. We had eggplant Parmesan, toasted ravioli, caprese salad, and baked meatballs and spaghetti. The lasagna tasted like pillows of pasta, cheese, and meat. Tim was a great server. Love the specials and how they make you feel so special there!!
