Charlie Gitto's in St. Louis on the Hill

my mother and i took my daughter and another mom and son to st. louis for spring break. while we were there we wanted to eat somewhere on The Hill. we were looking thru the St. Louis tourist books and had it narrowed down to Charlie Gitto's and Ragatti's. well as we were reading about Charlie Gitto's we noticed that it said they have gluten free pasta! well the little man that came with us is lactose and gluten free so we called right then and got some reservations. when we got there it looked very old school Italian. we were seated right away. our server was phenomenal!! i think his name was Ray. We even got to talk with the head chef. they make all their pasta there fresh to order by hand! we ordered a shrimp cocktail and some calamari. the shrimp were the size of my hand! and the calamari came with this splendid dipping sauce. my daughter got to try calamari for the first time and loved it. we had an absolutely fabulous dinner. i had a spicy sausage in rigatoni pasta that was amazing. my mother had a scallop wrapped in smoked salmon in a lobster cream sauce that was to DIE FOR! words cant describe the greatness of this dish. cadence had a plate of spaghetti with a meatball that was good too. cadence got a slice of cheesecake for dessert. im lactose intolerant so i couldnt eat it, but i had a nibble, and i think it was the best cheesecake i have ever tried. so creamy and good. so def go to Charlie Gitto's on The Hill. I wont ever go back to the Lou with out going there!
