Customer Reviews
On our first visit, when we drove up at 1:00 p.m. on a Thursday afternoon to find the large parking lot almost full, I thought this must be a really good restaurant. Indeed, Vito's was not hosting a wedding reception, but was filled with happy regulars enjoying lunch. I ordered manicotti, and for a starter their minestrone soup. For some years, my favorite minestrone soup has been that served at Joey's at Carrier Circle. However, filled with properly cooked vegetables and a tasty broth this is just as good. The sausage that accompanied my manicotti was meaty and mild in flavor. It was delicious when eaten with the extra marinara sauce I requested. The manicotti was good, but I probably won't order it again. My wife hit the jackpot by ordering pasta pie. Instead of a firm cheese holding tog
Pretty average food, nothing to write home about. Went for lunch and the waitress messed up my order of just Spaghetti and Meatballs and gave me a sausage instead. When I got the food, it was flavorless, very liquid sauce and meatball (once they gave it to me) had a really strange flavor. Even the pasta fagioli had no taste and was very watery, which was off-putting. My server looked like she was managing way too many tables, never refilled my water the entire hour I was there, and seemed annoyed I was a table of one in the back. Everything took a lot longer than expected to come out as well, definitely need a full hour or more for lunch. One extra star because the atmosphere was nice, people seemed happy to eat there at least, and the person who sat me was a joy.
Loved our experience here! The specialty rigatoni was a standout, and the filet mignon was incredibly tender. The service was friendly and attentive, and the pricing felt fair overall. Definitely worth a visit.
We were greeted nicely for lunch, seated, given menus and drink orders taken. I love that bread was brought to the table along with infused oil and butter. We got one side with our entrees so two had chicken and pastina soup, I had a beautiful salad with house balsamic vinaigrette. All excellent. Two orders of pasta pie with meatballs and one order of Sacchiatti, little pasta pockets with cheese inside. Everything was hot and fresh. Very decent sized portions Cheesecake, eclairs and cannoli finished our wonderful meal.
Vito's: A Solid Italian Option with Room for Improvement Vito's offers a pleasant dining experience for those craving Italian-style food. The atmosphere is nice, contributing to an enjoyable evening out. However, be prepared for prices that lean towards the higher end compared to other local establishments. Our service on this visit was average. While not exceptional, it got the job done. We did encounter a minor hiccup when two of our dishes were switched upon being served, which we corrected ourselves. Where Vito's truly shined were the meatballs and sauce, which I'd confidently rate a perfect 5. They were a definite highlight of the meal. Our main dishes were slightly above average, good but didn't quite reach the same high standard as the appetizers. Despite a few minor issues, I plan
