" Charlie Gitto's feels like a hidden gem! The décor takes you back to an old-world Italy, complete with welcoming service. I ordered the chicken rigatoni which was seasoned to perfection! The portion sizes were very generous, likely enough for two meals. However, my friends tried the sea bass and found it to be underwhelming compared to the pasta dishes. Nevertheless, I had a great time and would return to explore more of the menu! " (*Curated Review*)

" Charlie Gitto’s will take you back to Italy! The food is authentically Italian with fresh ingredients. I enjoyed the seafood pasta which was well balanced and delicious. The service was slow at times, but the staff was friendly and accommodating. We loved dining on the patio—such a pleasant atmosphere! I’m glad I reserved a table in advance as it was quite busy during our visit. Definitely recommend. " (*Curated Review*)

" It was an excellent night out at Charlie Gitto's! The staff was kind and attentive, but the star of the show was truly the food. I had the veal, and it was tender and flavorful. The pasta sides were fresh and cooked perfectly. I highly recommend checking it out for a romantic evening. " (*Curated Review*)

" The experience at Charlie Gitto's was decent. The food was flavorful, but not mind-blowingly exceptional compared to most Italian restaurants I've been to. The ambiance was lovely, a perfect setting for a casual dinner. We had the chef's special pasta and while it was good, I found it to be lacking a bit of seasoning. Service was friendly but could improve on attentiveness. " (*Curated Review*)

" Very cozy little spot with great food! The meatballs were flavorful, and I loved the spaghetti. The only downside was the wait for our food; it took a bit longer than expected but was worth it. The desserts were also delicious; I had the tiramisu and would recommend it! Overall, it was a pleasant experience and I would return. " (*Curated Review*)

" I’ve been to a lot of Italian restaurants but none compare to the experience at Charlie Gitto's. The food was top-notch; our table loved the garlic shrimp and the rigatoni with meat sauce. What really stood out was the service—super friendly and attentive, even on a busy night! The atmosphere has a classic feel, with dim lighting that's very intimate. We had a great time here and left feeling very satisfied. Will definitely return again soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" Charlie Gitto's was a lovely dinner spot! The atmosphere had a wonderful elegant charm, and I loved every bite of my meal. The seafood options were fresh, and my friend loved their pizza. The service was attentive. If you’re looking for a great Italian restaurant, this is the place! " (*Curated Review*)
