We recently dined out for a celebration dinner. No problem getting a reservation, the friendly hostess greeted us upon arrival and promptly seated us. Our server was friendly and attentive to our needs and requests. Good timing on appetizers and beverages. Some really nice touches worth mentioning (that many area restaurants have cut back on) are:
Bread was placed on the table immediately, and not a stingy little mini loaf of bread either! Fresh, nice size slices of delicious Italian bread. We were a party of six and our Server put two baskets on the table accompanied by individually foil wrapped ,generous portions of real butter, chilled to the correct temperature.
Also worth noting, large glass tumblers refilled as needed, tables were comfortably sized with plenty of elbow room and set nicely with white linens and rolled linen silverware. Appetizers were good portions for our party and served in a timely manner.
The menu was extensive; many choices and something for everyone. Also worth noting was that a delicious soup or fresh salad was offered with each entrée, with the option of including coffee and dessert and a side included in the price of dinner.
Meals were hot and delicious, fresh authentic recipes with very generous portions.
The atmosphere was just right; upscale-casual, friendly, festive and lively, but not overcrowded or too loud.
Pricing was just right, making Vito’s an affordable option for any occasion.

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.

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 together the angel hair pasta, this version uses Alfredo sauce, giving it a looser texture and delicious flavor. The slice had a mushroom crust covered with marinara sauce. It was outstanding and she kindly shared it with me. For dessert, we shared spumoni ice cream with chocolate, cherry, and pistachio flavors and tasty whipped cream. A truly excellent meal. UPDATE-1: On our second visit, I ordered the shrimp riggies. The large shrimp were perfectly cooked and went well with the vodka sauce, rigatoni, and cherry peppers. The sliced peppers did require some trimming, because the kitchen had not removed the stems. My wife ordered a delicious combination of Char-Grilled chicken with peppers and mushrooms. It included a side of angel hair pasta with marinara sauce. For dessert, we shared the spumoni tartufo. A truly delicious way to end a great meal. UPDATE-2: On our 5th visit, the kitchen was not up to their normal level of excellence. My wife ordered the char-grilled chicken with peppers and mushrooms and a side of pasta. The dish arrived at room temperature. I ordered chicken francaise which was hot, but lacked flavor and seasoning. With lemon wedges kindly provided by our server, I squeezed lemon juice over and sprinkled salt onto the dish and it turned out pretty well. One thing we learned on this trip was that the delicious sauce that comes with a side of meatballs is tomato sauce. We preferred it to the chunky marinara that was on our sides of pasta and will request it in the future.
