From Phoenix, originally IL, and always wanted to dine at The Hill. Everything about the experience was next-level. Wendy, our server, was excellent, and the food was phenomenal. Host area and all wait staff were wonderful and attentive. So happy we were able to experience Charlie Gitto's, and will return again in the future if I'm in the area!! Cin Cin!

We've done the gazebo-thing before. Great ambiance and the temp outside helped to make the temp inside the gazebo very nice. Service was excellent and 2 bottles of wine, plus 4 entrees and 2 shared salads made the dining experience superb. Definitely worth the money.

The food was delicious, staff was great and friendly. My only complaint was most of the customers were dressed so casually.
