"Vito is classic Italian place that reminds of the old school neighborhood restaurants back east. Our waiter Alberto was excellent; the food is classic. We went early on a Saturday before a play and were served according to our schedule. The "value" wine list has some excellent picks; the rest of the wine list is somewhat pricey. Would definitely go back!"

"We were impressed from the moment we walked in. Started with a couple martini's from the bartender Katrina, strong but wonderful, she made up a special drink for my fiance and she loved it. From appetizer to desert there were no dissapointments. I had the Cioppino (they call it Zuppa di pesce) which was rich with flavors, and she had the Filet which was amazingly tender. I would recommend either one and recommend anyone try this place out."

"Very old school romantic. Red leather booths. Waiters in tuxedos. Service top notch. Great menu and food prepared just right. Save room for dessert. Great ambience. Quiet and elegant. Prices quite reasonable for what you get."

"Vito has been highly recommended to me over the years, and I finally found out why. The clams were unlike any that I've had before, in a perfect tomato sauce. The lasagna is out of control (just get it, trust me), and the spaghetti della casa is truly exceptional. We drank a bottle of Heitz Cellars 1987 Napa Cab, which was among the best wines I've ever tasted. A perfect anniversary dinner - thank you Vito!"
