    We have been to Vito several times. His last evening, our waiter did not know the cost of the specials, which sounded delicious. He went back to check. One of our guests said you know, you should inform us of the cost of the special. The waiter responded well most people don’t ask. This put us in an awkward situation that we somehow were at fault and asking. We will certainly be back to Vito. This observation is offered as a constructive suggestion for better service.

    We eat here often. They are always willing to tweak and entrée to my liking as I don’t like pepper and instead of a vegetable in a carb, they’re willing to give me all vegetable

    Ours was a belated Valentine Day’s dinner. My sweetheart had a cold and had since received a distressing diagnosis. It was a sensitive and emotional time for us. I won’t wax on about the service and the food. Both continue the long tradition of excellence. What was unfortunate was the noise level. We were seated in the large dining room, adjacent to the smaller salon. There were at least two 8-10 seated tables celebrating something. The result was that there was a ridiculous din in the room that was entirely out of place. It was unbelievable. I understand the importance of filling tables with bodies, but come on. We left early. No coffee or dessert. There are consequences. Sweat the details. Ambiance, the little extras (garlic crisps) and owning the property make a restaurant and keep it in business. As they say, one should always follow the recipe.

    My spouse and me absolutely love Vito’s. The food, atmosphere and service is always top-notch! The staff are kind, thoughtful and truly care about the experience. We feel like family when we’re there. It is our go-to, and I can’t believe this is the first time I’m reviewing them on Open Table. We’ve met so many wonderful people at Vito’s and will return again and again.
