    Both my wife and I really enjoyed our meals, Sea Bass and Lobster/Seafood Pasta. The Beet salad was great too. Our server and service were excellent. Charlie Gitto’s never disappoints!

    Everything was great. A little tight spaced and a little on the pricey side but I guess you are paying for the experience of eating on the Hill.

    Exceptional food and staff. We were stuck in traffic due to a car accident, so I called to let them know we’d be late and they were so kind and compassionate. We ended up being very late but they were still so accommodating. Definitely will be back.
