I’m a black woman and I FELT DISCRIMINATION VIBES from Vito’s, but let me be clear I don’t mind dropping money on a good meal if it’s worth it and I only spent $53 here on takeout but they messed up my order and when I called to let them know it took 20 years for them to answer the phone and then they didn’t want to make it right trying to make it seem like I was lying about a $53 meal. I had never tried Vito’s and I like to try different restaurants but my experience wasn’t good with them! I got green money too and I have no reason to lie about a $53 order! I WILL NOT BE BACK!

I ordered for delivery. I have ordered four house salads, a Caesar, two pizzas, pasta, toasted ravioli and salmon so a rather large order. When I received my order the driver was not given the full order. I called and spoke to a female that said my food was still there and she just forgot to give the bag to the driver. The The restaurant refused to deliver it personally, we are less than a mile away. I had to physically drive back and my food sat for AN HOUR. I came in to pick it up and the blonde at the front desk and brunette with black glasses ignored me as I stood there for ten minutes until I interrupted them. I dislike doing this but my food had already been sitting for so long. These two were also helping a customer because she was charged the wrong amount. Complete chaos. The gentlemen who came out with a backwards ball cap, brown hair with a short beard was so so kind. This man remade our pizza so they were fresh and added dessert for us. He is the only reason for the three stars

Vito's is one of our go to restaurants when seeing a show at the Fox. And their popularity shows. They are always super busy on show nights so make sure you make a reservation. Service can be a little slow because of that, but the servers are constantly running around and make sure you get to the show on time. I've rotated through their pastas, and the tortellini is one of my favorites. Meaty pasta and a rich cream sauce. They also serve complimentary bread with olive oil/balsamic for dipping.
One favorite Italian restaurants in St. Louis. Definitely give the Rigatoni Norma a try.

I'm an online entertainment and food critic and an influencer. I know Vito's, with multiple location in St Louis, has a good reputation and I've had good meals there. However, unfortunately, since I started writing restaurant reviews, tonight was horrible. It was explained to me that Vito's has a new head chef but he has a learning curve to solve and better do it in a hurry. Ordered the Chicken Piccata sautéed in a lemon white wine sauce, with a side of fettuccini noodles and broccoli. There was absolutely NO sauce at all except for a tiny hint of it at the bottom of the chicken. Tasted like a dull breaded moist chicken breast no better than fast food. Normally in an Italian restaurant they drown food in sauce. The fettuccini had so little sauce on it you hardly tasted it so again, the noodles were dull. We also ordered the Bacon Arugula Tomato BLT Pizza in white balsamic. We had to ask to bring additional white balsamic on the side since there didn't seem to be any on the pizza. To add final insult to injury, their bread is fantastic and we were craving it when we sat down. We never got it and the server said they were baking some and we'd get fresh bread right out of the oven. We never got it and the server said, it was the pizza makers responsibility to bake the bread and he didn't do it. To the servers credit, by the time we paid and were ready to leave, she brought us some bread in a to go container. The server was sweet and very apologetic and told us she would tell Vito about our issues. I'm not the kind that would say I'm never going back but I'm going to give it a while to see if the new chef gets his act together and can serve up great meals to Vito's high expectations. But my review was for tonight, not the past and not the future, so based on tonight I have to give it only 2 stars and hope it gets better....or gets a new chef.

Pleasant, efficient. Decent food and plating was appropriate. The ala carte menu is mostly pizza, as restaurant name implies, but does have very limited non-pasta dishes. We had ordered the bruschetta appetizer and kudos to our server for pronouncing it properly. And also for having the training or knowledge to recommend a good Italian wine. Loud for an Italian restaurant. Rectangular room with square hard surfaces made it very hard to hear the server. Some sound deadening is in order. Unfortunately the delivery process does not involve the waiter/sever. The delivery person got it WRONG EVERY TIME. Drinks, appetizer, entree, were placed in front of a person that didn't order it. Yes, small, perhaps humorous, first-world problem. But the management should find a way to fix this annoyance. Service was friendly but server seemed somewhat rushed. When asked for bread, we were brought something that was hard, chewy and not at all appropriate for a somewhat brothy dish. Would expect bread like the bruschetta. Overall, 3-stars. Attention to detail is generally lacking I may return to try the pizza (paired with a Peroni!) but unlikely for the pre-theatre dinner experience I had expected.
