    Once again, we had a great time and great meal at Charlie Gitto’s “On the Hill.” Our server, Scott, did a great job (as well as all of the other helpers of the wait staff). Our food was delicious as always and my Valentine’s Day Special - “Land and Sea” was good to the last bite. Our visits to Charlie Gitto’s is never complete without the Cannoli. We look forward to coming back again soon!

    This is the second time I have been to Lorenzo’s. It did not disappoint. I brought my partner and a friend. My partner has never been to St Louis before and I wanted her to experience the food in The Hlll. She loved it. The waiter was courteous and attentive, the restaurant I would t say is loud but there definitely is a good buzz of people talking and enjoying each other’s company. I will definitely recommend and hopefully come back in the future on trips to St Louis.

    If I could give more stars, I would. The space was decorated gloriously for Valentine’s Day. Joe’s wait service was efficient and well-paced. Food and wine was fabulous as usual! We had a wonderful V-Day with so much value added at Edera!
