Best restaurants near me in Granite City, IL

Gitto's never fails to be excellent. My son chose it for his birthday meal. Quinn, our sever, was experienced, attentive and fabulous. We had a bottle from one of our favorite wineries, Orin Swift. Our table had a variety of pastas and mains, all were top notch. It was nice to have house made toasted ravioli versus the frozen ones. Again, another Gitto's touch. In short, a great meal to celebrate a special occasion.

The overall experience was great. I was not happy with my portion size nor cocktail. However after the 1st bite of food i was satisfied. I believe i just selected the wrong cocktail I ordered the beef wellington and was impressed, i only hoped i had more of it. The ambience was great with low lighting to set the mood.

A fun experience with good friends. It was our second time there.

Initially I was reluctant to go here since it is a hotel restaurant but the weather was not good so we went. Good choice! My wife got the burrata caprese salad and I had mushroom and black truffle soup. The caprese was delicate and the soup was rich and perfectly prepared. For main courses my wife had la classics lasagna napoletana, which was firm and deeply meaty, quite delicious. I had the tagliatelle don Alfronso, which was to die for. The sauce with their home grown tomatoes was exquisitely sweet and the home made pasta perfect. I’m of Italian ancestry and have been eating Italian food my whole life and I cannot recall something this delicious, even when we’ve been in Sorrento. The service was attentive and helpful and the owner interested in our thoughts. Highly recommended.

An amazing experience we will never forget, really appreciate Gary. I highly recommend going, and look forward to visiting again.
