ST. LOUIS — St. Louis has so many great restaurants where you can find delicious pasta, but we wanted to know where you could find the best of the best!
So, we asked our Facebook followers and they gave us a few tasty suggestions.
Charlie Gitto’s
This Italian restaurant has been serving up delicious food in The Hill neighborhood for the past 35 years.
In 1947 a chef at Angelo’s – which was the name of the restaurant at the time – accidentally dropped a ravioli in hot oil instead of water, and toasted ravs were born.
Gitto’s serves up other appetizers, salads, brick oven pizzas and several choices for entrees.
The restaurant has two other locations in Maryland Heights and Chesterfield.
