The service from this restaurant was amazing and the food was absolutely amazing the soup was creamy and rich but not heavy and the ravioli had a consistent chewy texture for al dente noodle.

Service and atmosphere was great. I had the clam chowder and the only thing I could taste was bacon. Honestly it should be called bacon chowder. I had a sea food pasta and I was underwhelmed by it. My husband and daughter liked their chicken Alfredo. We had the chocolate cake. The mousse in it was tasty but the cake was dry.Truthfully, I would go back only for the fried calamari with the freshly made cocktail sauce. Highly recommend that!

Wonderful meal and fast, exceptional service! The prices are very reasonable and the portions are huge! They are so accomodating and for a minimal charge, they will even allow you to switch out different pasta sauces and add/swap out meat & seafood choices. Our server, Chelo qas awesome! Loved that he had pictures on his tablet of the dinner specials to show us as he described them. Highly recommend dining here!

I used to make it a birthday tradition to go to Vito's. I'd go for lunch on my birthday, and my boyfriend's on his. Even when I had covid, I requested Vito's to-go for my birthday. However, much has changed and is progressively worsening. I don't like to write negative reviews, but, particularly this past visit was quite disappointing. I made a reservation and went to the restaurant on time. Not many customers were there at that time. After taking our order for beverages, nobody came to get our order for 20 min. By this time, the restaurant was filling up with customers. After taking our orders, we didn't even receive bread service. Our appetizer came out. We ordered a pizza that had double the amount of cheese than normal - it was actually so much that it overpowered all the other flavors. All the food we ordered came out extra salty. While we dined, no one refilled our drinks. We didn't complain about the food because we were on limited time for lunch. I felt like I was paying for self-service and was expected to be grateful for being allowed to eat there. We tipped extra, as usual, not reflective of the (lack of) service/care we received.
While the noise level was a little high the setting was great and you could tell this place had a very “local” customer base. The staff was very friendly and efficient, our waiter was terrific and - had a couple of nice chats with him. We found the prices were a little higher than some comparable restaurants, but the food was excellent. When you've had authentic Italian food in Italy it's hard to find comparable offerings here in the states. Vito's ranks right up there in its food. It was a nice way to celebrate our 51st wedding anniversary and we'll definitely be going back!

Vito's Trattoria never disappoints. You are welcomed the minute you enter their restaurants. Their outdoor dining area is great as they made you cozy and welcoming. Indoor is great. The staff, from bus persons all the way up to the owner are always friendly and since they take care of their clients wether it is their table or not, makes it a very pleasant experience. As to the food, they use the freshest incredient. They make their pastas and their sauce is very tasty. I recommend this restaurant to all my friends. Wonderful dining experience for sure!
