Best Neighbourhood Gem Restaurants in Maplewood

Last night, my husband and I had the pleasure of dining here, and it was nothing short of phenomenal. The food, atmosphere, and service were all top-notch. As part of a 12-day culinary tour of St. Louis's finest upscale restaurants, we have been impressed by this establishment's exceptional offerings. It has undoubtedly become our favorite destination among those we have visited so far. The outstanding cuisine and service are a testament to the restaurant's excellence. Much Love, Ashley & Jason

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 was Valetine's Day and they were well prepped to service a largenumber of people. We made a reservation well in advance and asked to be seated in the "rear area" separated from the bar area -- which is usually quieter. We eat there about 2-3 times each year, for apecial occasions like a birthday, anniversary, etc. The food is always excellent They had their full menu available on Valentines Day, with a couple of special items added. Our waiter was very attentive without hovering -and was very friendly. We went with the 4-course tasting menu. We highly recommend the beet salad and the egg raviolo for the first two courses. The homemade pastas are also great. With one quartino of white wine and iced tea, our total for the evening was about $215 a couple of "upgrades" in the tasting menu and including tip. It's a bit of a pricy place, but well worth it for a treat!

Valentines Day lunch for two. Food was excellent and the service (Spiro - our culinary guide) was exceptional. We had Calamari for an appetizer Then, we each had a salad…one lobster and the other tenderloin. Dessert - was cheesecake. We made future reservation for dinner before we left. Very happy.

The Crossing continues to be an excellent choice for fine dining in St. Louis. The food and service are excellent. The night we were there it was somewhat noisier than past visits due to several large tables of men some of whom spoke and laughed loudly throughout the evening. When they left it was pleasant. I think the British are right when they say Americans do not know how to speak quietly at the dinner table.
