Charlie Gitto's from "The Hill", a St. Louis dining tradition for over 30 years, has opened a 2nd location at Hollywood Casino St. Louis. The restaurant boasts a menu of Italian favorites including pasta, veal & chicken entrees plus delicious steaks & seafood specialties.
"Food was excellent and our waiter, Mark waa great! Guys in our group had the steak and said one of the best they have ever eaten....who knew in an Italian restaurant? Will be back for sure!"

"The moment one walks into the Hollywood Casino complex, where the restaurant is located, one is hit by cigarette smoke. A smelly, smokey haze permeates everything, including this restaurant, which is right next to the casino. But for the smoke, the restaurant would likely have been pleasant enough, and the food might have tasted better than just average. I must say that we loved the garlic, herb, and cheese dipping oil. I believe it was about $4.00 and it lasted our group through the whole dinner. It was absolutely delicious, as were the rolls served at the table. If we do return to a Charlie Gitto's for a meal, it definitely will not be this one. The smoke was just too overwhelming."

"We had a group heading to a concert at Riverport and wanted a really good dinner. Gitto's was great. They were quick to take our order, they brought everything at a fast pace and the service was sharp and friendly. We were impressed with the food flavor and quality, especially the (extra spicy) red pastas. We had good wine at a reasonable price and found the overall experience to be very good. While it's not "The Hill," it's a nice place to enjoy food before a show or night out at the casino. Very pleased and will return."

"We enjoyed the atmosphere, it was relaxing. It was a nice Mother's Day dinner. My daughter likes lobster bisque, she said it was ok She had the seafood risotto, excellent! It is spicy & she normally doesn't eat spicy. Husband had the canneloni and he said the meat was grainy. I had the chicken nunzio and that was very good. Had Tiramisu for dessert, not very flavorful, found it a little bland."

"Went for Mothers Day. Food quality has slipped since our last visit. I had the Seafood Suzanne and it was mostly noodles. It had three small clams and two shrimp. Seems to me to be way overpriced. My wifes dinner was more inline with previous experience. I mentioned my experience to the waiter and he shrugged it off. The restaurants on the hill and in Chesterfield are much better."

"Had this been our first time there I'm not sure we would be back. Were it not for a VERY attentive busboy it would have been a disaster. I would give the waiter a D- for service/attentiveness/timeliness of follow throughs."

"Friends of mine and I went to celebrate a birthday and I was not impressed. Our waiter kept us waiting quite a long time before even taking drink orders, then kept disappearing all throughout the dinner. Food was not up to par. They did bring out a free piece of birthday cake for us to share, but it was tasteless."

"Charlie Gittos, Hollywood, is a superb dining experience. Food is made to perfection, service is impeccable, and even though Hollywood is under construction, once inside the restaurant you are warmly greeted and made to feel relaxed and ready to enjoy a wonderful meal."

"Food was great service was fair. It was not busy, there were many open tables and it took too long to get service for additional drinks and refills. I ordered my filet medium and had to send it back because it was rare and by the time I received rhe filet back the rest of the my party was finished with their meal."

"The service was good and so was the food. The waiter was very pleasant and helpful. We were there for my mother-in-laws 82nd birthday and she was very pleased and so were we when the waiter brought out a small cake. (Very nice touch!)
I have one complaint about the place however, and that was the kitchen area and the noise coming from it. That really put a damper on our dining experience. When we go back, I definitely won't sit near the kitchen area again."

"The entire staff at Charlie Gitto's (Hollywood Casino)restaurant are GREAT!!! You are always greeted quickly, and treated as a valued guest. The service is outstanding. The food is always prepared, presented, and served expertly. We visit this location often and consider it one of our "Favorite" dining establishments in all of St. Louis."

"Charlie Gitto's at Hollywood Casino in an excellent dining experience from the moment you enter. We have gone several times during the last several years, and the food quality and taste is consistent every visit, along with the superior service from the staff, with wonderful ambiance in the restaurant makes for a very private and superb dining experience."

"Holy cow, the service was fantastics, maybe just a tad over doting. The food was outof this world. The portions were huge. Both my wife nad I ended up taking some of our dinner home. The price was a little high I thought. We paid $90 for dinner for 2. Just the 2 entrees and 1 appetizer. No alcohol at all. We will definitely be going back."

"We celebrated 2 birthdays and our waitress was exceptionally good. The only improvement opportunity I have is when telling customers what your specials are to include the price of the specials."

"I was very pleased with my experience at Charlie Gitto's. They also made sure that I was not in the middle of the room as I had requested thru Open Table. Everyone was very pleasant and my husband and I had a great time."
