Have been to this restaurant several times and it never ceases to amaze me in the quality, the portion size, the price and the service. Their pasta's are prepared fresh and don't wait sitting to be plated and served. They come out steaming and stay steaming. Their eggplant Parmesan is superb as is everything they have on the menu and over the years, I've had most of them, including the pasta with chicken livers, pasta con broccoli, bolognese, meatballs and spaghetti and so many more. Definitely worth going.

I ordered a calzone. The insides/toppings were good enough but the crust honestly tasted like cardboard. Even grocery store pizza crust tastes better than this. My friend got a gluten free pizza and she loved it! But we thought both of our orders were cooked too long.Hi, Madison. We apologize that your order fell short of your expectations and we'd love to have another shot at knocking your socks off! We invite you to visit again and we'll do our best to ensure you have a perfectly cooked, flavorful calzone.

Charlie Gitto's From the Hill delivers "The Hill's" iconic Italian dining experience to Chesterfield
Reviewed By MrsKerren18
We visited Charlie Gitto's on the Hill ten years ago as our brother-in-law grew up in the area and highly recommended it. Low and behold, it was near the hotel we are staying at so we decided to give it a try for a 'snack'. We arrived around 8"30 pm and were treated as if it were dinner time..welcomed with a smile. We said we were just there for a snack, and they seated us and treated us as guests of the family. Hubby had noodle soup, me a salad, and cheese bread. The best part was the Sangria! And then the deserts, which we got to go, but sampled as soon as we got to the hotel. Overall a great experience. We look forward to returning.

Visited with two other couples based on a recommendation, and we were not disappointed. We have frequented other nearby restaurants on numerous occasions and never knew of this place. Itâs located in a strip of shops and the developer clearly underestimated the popularity of multiple eating establishments making parking a challenge. Once inside we were delighted with the atmosphere. Wide open space with great natural lighting and very conducive for table conversation (the bar area may be different). We were seated in a large booth which was perfect for a party of six. Very nice wine selections by the bottle and glass with a wide range of varietals and moderate pricing. Started with warm freshly baked bread, followed by a tasty Caesar salad (included w/ entree). My wife thoroughly enjoyed the Cannelloni Al Forno ($17) generously portioned and prepared in an exceptional tomato cream sauce. My selection was the Beef Tenderloin Modega ($19) topped with mozzarella, mushrooms and prosciutto in a garlic lemon sauce and complimented with asparagus and a wonderful sun-dried tomato polenta - Italian corn meal made with soup stock (Yes, I had to look it up). Finished off by sharing their tiramisu (huge portion so donât order two). Will be back to sample more of the menu. Great all around dining experience.

took son and daughter-in-law there for birthday dinner on a Wednesday night. Service was wonderful. The waitress was very pleasant and didn't rush us. Food was another story. Grilled salmon was dry and very over cooked. tortelinni was just ok and not much flavor. Steak was average at best. the salad was the best thing and only above average. Atmosphere was clean although the place was dated. Won't return

We went in for dinner with another couple, service and food were good but orazy attention to your bill, THEY round up. It was only .02 in ours and .01 on our friends but it's the point. Maybe they should donate that extra money ti a charity of some sort.
4. Massa's Restaurant

Reviewed By marcs73
Staff was very nice and the restaurant was full. I do recommend you make a reservation. It's very loud and the seating is tight. The staff was helpful, BUT it is absolutely not handicap accessible inside the restaurant. Average customer age seemed to be about 55+ and lively on the night we visited. Food was a bit below average and overpriced. Décor is the typical 50's faux Italian as another individual commented in a review below. There is a tv at the south end of the bar that creates the illusion of the lights malfunctioning/flickering in the dining area which was very unpleasant. There obviously is a loyal crowd. Just not one to add to our list.

We have been here 3 times, 2 times as a couple sitting at the bar and eating dinner and one as a large family group for a special occasion. We love the food here but the service is so wonderful, old school bartenders and waiters that are lifelong professionals but very personable and fun. We love the Aracini which is offered nightly and we love all of the pastas. My son had a Filet that he said melted in his mouth and the best he ever had. I usually do a light or white sauce pasta but last night has the meatballs and they were so good. We will keep returning here for casual date nights at the bar and for family celebrations. Just the best in food and service.
