We had 6pm reservations and were seated on time but people without reservations faced a 2 hour wait. Make reservations! Upon entering, there is a hostess stand and small bar with seating extending to the back of the building. We had the first table so I can't comment on the full size. My son ordered a Bloody Mary and I had a Pinot Noir while we looked at menu. Bloody Mary was very good and the wine was pleasant. We started with Garlic Bread with Cheese. It was the only menu item I would not order again. Flavors did not come together. I ate my fair share so it was good. Just not great. We then shared a cheese pizza with provel. Elite crust and sauce! The crust had an amazing char and the sauce was deliciously nuanced. The cheese was very good, but most definitely not the star of the pie. Pasta Pomodoro was wonderful. House made pasta was excellent and the sauce was a perfect accompaniment. (Anthonino's really does sauces well!) I finished with tiramisu and I am so glad I did! Did I need it? No. Did I want it? Heck yeah! I think I will be wanting it every day for a long time to come! All of the staff were welcoming and friendly, while remaining efficient. Nice group of people.

I don't know what cheese they use but they were one of the top ranked cheese curds I have ever had (I've had a lot of cheese curds). The Ravioli looked homemade, which is good. The red sauce for them was the best I've had! I usually never use the red sauce but I actually chose it over ranch - what? Yeah. The Cajun Pasta was great with just the right spice. The Seafood Cannelloni was very good, very hot (they are not kidding) and the sauce was very thick. It was almost like gravy consistently. It tasted great but I am not 100% sure I am on board since I usually like it a little thinner. All in all the seasoning on everything was great, the staff is super nice with a family owned vibe (that's good) and cool decor to reminisce. I plan on coming back and bringing my family. It's definitely worth checking out and trying more dishes.

Need to plan ahead as reservations fill fast. Although I did notice some empty bar seats that I assume are "open seating".

I arrived a half hour after they opened thinking it would only be me, but twas' not the case. I took a seat at the bar and was immediately given water as the menus were already there. Now, I'll admit, I looked up Noto a couple weeks ago to see what was on the menu and so I'd have an idea of what I wanted to eat. To start, I got the Atrani fizz (essentially an "Italian sprite," and an order of arancini. Now, everyone's arancini isn't built the same and Noto was no exception. Their arancini is filled with risotto and Asiago and surrounded with Romesco sauce. Sadly, the arancini paired with the sauce tasted just like the macaroni balls from the Cheesecake Factory, except Noto's sauce is too sweet. I'm sure it's not the look they were going for. By this point, there's only one couple at the bar who seem to be pretty chummy with the bartender. While they're talking, I see their salad arrive and also notice they have a board of bread and oil, which instantly piqued my interest. Shortly after, my main arrives (Mafaldine) and I ask the food runner what kind of bread that was. His response was that it was complimentary focaccia and asked if I wanted some. I was pretty pissed considering the bartender didn't mention anything about it. In fact, had she said something, I probably wouldn't have ordered the arancini. Oh, and might I add, the bread was cold. Now, for the main, (mafaldine) it was a bit underwhelming. I got the dish because it was kale pesto based with some other ingredients, but sadly all I tasted were pine nuts. After a few bites I tapped out and asked for the check. She asked if I wanted a box and I declined because I'm leaving for out of town, but even if I weren't, the dish didn't taste good enough to leave the restaurant. Overall, it was ok, but I'm not in a rush to return...

This was the best establishment we have been to. The way our day played out our party of 4 got to…read morethe restaurant 2 hrs early. We asked if there was anyway they could get us in early. The hostess asked if the patio would be ok and we were delighted to say yes. My wife is using a walker due to upcoming hip replacement surgery and the hostess suggested we use the outside patio gate instead of trying to pass through the restaurant. We sat in the patio and water and fresh hot 2 kinds of bread were placed on the table. Our server, Connor, is so knowledgeable and pleasant. He was patient with us and his wine suggestion was spot on. Great sense of humor and he worked all the patio tables. The food choices were amazing and exceeded expectations. Pricing was comparable with what we expected. The lobster bisque was thick, hot and very filling. There was ample pieces of lobster as well. My wife shared that her pasta was not hard or dry or rubbery but tasted freshly made. Connor shared that the prep starts every morning with homemade pasta. The traditional toasted ravioli were just that, toasted and tasty and the CG shrimp seemed so much more than an appetizer. Meals could be had with just those. I was very satisfied it ordered lasagna anyway. I just had them pack it to go as I was comfortably full. I know there are a lot of choices on the Hill but I assure you this one stands out. Please treat yourself to Charlie Gitto's. Don't wait for a special reason. Any time you eat here will be special

Overall Impressions: Visiting a historic St. Louis institution for the first time is always…read moreexciting, but our inaugural dinner at Charlie Gitto's on The Hill yielded a surprisingly mixed bag. While the drinks, bread, appetizers, and desserts shone, the main courses and service fell short of the restaurant's legendary reputation. Ambiance & Setting Stepping in from a mild, low-80s afternoon, the indoor dining room felt starkly dark--almost like a cave when walking straight in from the street. Thankfully, we opted to sit on the patio, which was a delightful choice and provided a very nice, relaxed environment for dinner. While the restaurant recommends smart or business casual attire, the vibe on the ground was much more relaxed; there were plenty of people wearing shorts, and a diner nearby on the patio was sporting jeans and a t-shirt. For parking, the Hill location does have a lot attached, but it was full when we arrived. Fortunately, there is plenty of on-street parking nearby, plus another parking lot just one block down. Drinks & Starters * Drinks: Both the house Pinot Grigio and my husband's Super Tuscan were excellent. We chose a single glass rather than a full bottle. * Bread: The bread was outstanding, served in generous portions. * CG Signature Shrimp ($22): Extra-large, roasted in garlic butter and seasoned breadcrumbs. We received three nice-sized shrimp with plenty of flavorful garlic butter left over, which was fantastic for dipping the bread. Entrees * Fiore Borghese ($24): Small, flower-shaped hollow noodles tossed in a pink Cognac sauce with prosciutto, onions, and parsley. The portion was good and shareable, but the pasta was slightly short of al dente and could have used another minute in the pot. While the first few bites were nice, the dish quickly proved to be very one-note; it would make a great side option, but it felt heavy and repetitive as a main entree. Additionally, no extra Parmesan cheese was offered tableside--even though we noticed another diner nearby being offered it--and this dish could have really used it, or perhaps it just wasn't designed for it. * Veal Parmigiano ($55): Bone-in, breaded, and baked with pomodoro sauce and CG cheeses. We had looked forward to this signature dish, and the size was very good and definitely shareable. The pomodoro sauce was the undisputed star of the dish--vibrant and delicious. Unfortunately, everything else missed the mark. The cheese was not melted through and was coolish at best. More importantly, the meat was very difficult to cut even with the heavy steak knives provided, snagging on silver skin, turning out quite chewy, and lacking proper seasoning. At $55, this was a major letdown. Dessert & Coffee * Tiramisu ($12): Ladyfingers, espresso, and mascarpone cheese--very nice. * Chocolate Cake ($12): Triple-chocolate--excellent. * Espresso: A great way to cap off the meal. Service Our server, Noah, provided a mixed-at-best experience alongside his helper. While they were initially attentive with clearing plates and refilling glasses, the pacing went completely off the rails toward the end of the meal. Noah wasn't very chatty (no real personal warmth,) and we had to prompt him to ask if there were any daily specials. Worse still, he cleared my husband's entree plate before I was even halfway finished with mine--making the table feel awkwardly unbalanced--and then dropped the bill right along with our desserts. He even came back to see if we were ready to pay while we were still eating dessert. With the patio only half-full (we arrived at 4:30 PM on a quiet Sunday) and us having been there just a little over an hour, rushing us out like that was completely unnecessary and frustrating. The Verdict With a total of $190 including tax, we expected a seamless, high-end meal. While the patio, wine, starters, and desserts were highlights of the night, the execution errors on the heavily hyped veal and the one-note pasta mean we likely won't rush back for dinner anytime soon.
