6. Charlie Gitto's

I had high expectations for this restaurant after hearing so many good things and it fell very short. The food was alright but certainly not any better than most places on The Hill, and the service was rude. I very much felt that because the group I was dining with was a younger set (early 20's) they felt we weren't going to tip. Our waiter was not attentive however all of the other patrons were treated to the best service from everyone while we were ignored. I really do not have a problem paying top dollar for good food and service but since the food was alright and the service bad this place is VERY overpriced.

Charlie Gitto's is the best restaurant I have ever experienced. The atmosphere is quiet and classy, the staff is both knowledgeable and attentive. You are warmly greeted at the door and you begin to feel "special" immediately. I had the braised pork shank with pot roasted vegetables accompanied by a wilted beet salad with walnut vinegrette. Fantastico! You will not be disappointed.
