    The food was perhaps a little better than Olive Garden or other chain places, but at the price they charge it should be a lot better than other places. It is too expensive.

    We celebrated our 35th wedding anniversary at Charlie Gittos tonight. What a fabulous time! The chicken Parmesan & seafood pasta were excellent. Erica is a top-notch server and Jala (spelling?) the server assistant was very attentive & nice. We will definitely be back!

    Excellent experience! We had six people in our party. We were celebrating two birthdays. We ordered appetizers for the table: toasted ravioli, garlic cheese toast, & eggplant parmigiana. Four had salads. Two had salmon, one had baked spaghetti w/meatballs, another had lasagna, an Alfredo dish, & a special of pasta w/chopped lobster in it. Food ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Service was at ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We ended up spending approximately $100 per couple, which to me is another ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️. We highly recommend this restaurant on The Hill!!!! You can’t go wrong with this Italian restaurant. Almost forgot, they brought out cake for the two with birthdays. What a nice touch! Just a reminder, they don’t split up the check per couple, it’s as a whole table receipt.
