    We had the meatball appetizer and they were AMAZING with a wonderful sauce. Highly recommend. Dinner consisted of chicken parmigiana and cannelloni. The chicken parm was really good but personal preference is for thinner chicken. The cannelloni was really good and the white sauce was in a whole food group by itself. Pasta noodles were light and so good. Dessert was the Italian cake and the cheesecake. Both were wonderful but the cheesecake was the best I’ve ever had. We took home cannolis and the filling is spot on. Service was perfect and we had zero complaints. We have visited Italy multiple times and the food in this restaurant made us feel as if we were back there again. We will absolutely be back to Charlie Gittos!!! Also we really enjoyed the atmosphere.

    We couldn’t have had a better experience. The server, Tim, the atmosphere, the drinks and the food were second to none.

    Busy night. Dining room exceptionally noisy and difficult to talk with the person next to you. So dark we had to get out our phone flashlights to read the menu. My special was overcooked. My wife’s sea bass was overcooked. Others seemed happy with their pasta. It took over an hour to deliver our first dish.
