    A busy dining room at noon on Sunday.
    Michael S.

    This is a comfortable family oriented, Italian diner for dates, small groups, or casual business meetings. Beyond pizza and pasta, Frankie G's as a range of salads and sandwiches. I ordered something I don't often see in an Italian or family restaurant: a Reuben sandwich. It was a hearty portion with coleslaw as a side. It wasn't the best Ruben I've had - the corned beef could've been more tender - but it was completely acceptable and I'm not sorry. I ordered it.

    I used to come to this place all the time when I was a kid, so it has a place in my heart. I've never had any complaints about the food, except that I can never finish it (if you can even call that a bad thing). But oh man, the prices are way too high. The food is good don't get me wrong, but not THAT good.

    We recently utilized Frankie Gianino's catering for my sister in law's wedding on 9/21. They were extremely easy to work with and very reasonably priced. Our primary contact was Mike who was super helpful. Mike met us to tour the venue ahead time, arrived early the day of for set up, and during the dinner service was tirelessly running around himself collecting plates and drink wear. His staff were also super professional and friendly, The food was plentiful and delicious! Mike and his team also helped pack all of the leftovers for us so it was ready before tear down at the end of the night. We cannot thank Mike and his team enough and would recommend this catering service to everyone!

    Easy to access , it has plenty of public parking. We came in on a Saturday evening and got seated right away. They have gluten free options that are reasonably priced. The food was good with large portions. The service was good , quick to respond to our needs.

    With my Daughter Sister & Mother! Always a good time!!

    Nice place to have a social or quaint dinner or cocktails with entertainment sometimes and huge portions and really good prices overall.

    Wow. It is easy to see why Charlie Gitto's has garnered 4 1/2 stars overall on this site. It was…read morethat good. I was taught by brother that you should book your first dinner reservation as after flying all day, one is tired, and not able to make good decisions...hence eating at a TGI Fridays in New Orleans on our first night. I have heard about that since. Charlie's had the perfect vibe going as it has a great reputation. Wendy was also simply amazing and shared may stories of St Louis and was just a tremendous server. The only thing that tricked us was the Toasted Ravioli. It has meat in it, and my wife is vegetarian. The Arancini was terrific and the table bread was also quite tasty. My wife had the Manicotti and I had the Chicken Lemonata. So great. The bottle of the house Gitto's Red was the perfect wine as well. A great experience at a restaurant that is a legend in St. Louis and I am glad it was our first meal in the city.

We've had so many of the dishes and special items....every one of them delivers great flavor. The atmosphere is perfect. The service is on point always. An old school approach to a tremendous dining experience. Special Note: Suzanne - an owner along with her brother: she always makes the place for me. She somehow always remembers me, even though I don't live in Stl. She always sends an antipasti to my table....and makes the night start off great! Suzanne and that little laugh and smile she has - she's a gem!

It really is consistently good and we've never had a bad experience here. We started with cocktails and I had the espresso martini. It was very good! She had more of a fruity martini and also enjoyed it. They give you bread which is always a plus, and we started with an appetizer of mozzarella fritti which was fresh mozzarella and fried. Delicious. We also obviously had to get the salad and it was so good with the house dressing. We had the chicken piccata and the pollo Soto. My piccata came with a side of pasta and was very tasty. I loved the lemon and the capers. Our server was kind and helpful. I definitely recommend making a reservation because we went at noon on a Saturday and it was poppin! I'll be back :)

Thankfully, we weren't waiting too long until our table was ready. We were seated outside and were quickly given water and menus. We both started with the house salad and were given complimentary bread. The salads and bread were ok, but nothing to write home about. I'd say all the restaurants on the hill have the same bread except for a couple, so don't expect anything fancy. I got the Italian Lemon drip and thought it was refreshing. Up until that point, our server was relatively attentive and seemed to have no problem communicating with us. When it came time to take our order, I got the chicken spiedini special but asked if a few things could be removed (which she said wasn't a problem). Evidently it was because my boyfriend's food came before mine only to be met by the manager who claimed our server was misinformed and that modifications couldn't be made after all. He then asked if I was ok getting it how it looks in the picture, which I was happy to take (I prefer it this way). What struck us as odd is why our server couldn't tell us that. We didn't think it was a big deal but it clearly showed the lack of confidence she had and her inability to properly communicate. Unfortunately, service was just ok after that but then when it came for the bill, she read the price aloud! Again, it definitely wasn't necessary and instantly made me not want to come back. It was incredibly tacky and I was over it and that point. Overall, it was ok but I'm not sure this warrants a return visit.
