My husband and I eat at this restaurant often (we live within walking distance) and it's never a disappointment. Â Good food, friendly service, and a pretty little main serving area with a pleasing ambience. Â (The second and larger room is, well, just a big room, but the food and service are just as good.) Â My husband, who travels often and eats in many restaurants across the country, claims that Vito's Chicken Marsala is the best that he's ever come across!
Review Source:I went with a friend for our mutual birthday. Everything was sooooo good!!!!
This restaurant is in an odd place-pretty much a strip mall(it's next to the Goodwill on 135). The inside is nothing fancy, but honestly, I am mostly interested in the food. :)
I had the seafood fettucine, which has alfredo sauce. My friend had the chicken diablo. I loved my pasta, and she loved hers! Portion sizes were very large! I had the italian salad, which was good, but had just a bit too much dressing for my taste. My friend had the minestrone, which she said was more chili-like in consistency, but good. the garlic bread was kinda meh-I've had better. I could survive on bread alone, so I am a pretty good judge. :)
We also had the house chianti, which was very good! Overall, excellent.
The only draw back was our server. She just wasn't friendly. She was a good server, my friend said, "she's not giving me the warm 'n fuzzies." We had a coupon, and I told her that from the get go, so IDK if that was it or not. Still overall very good experience. I am not even docking my stars for her .
I expected to like Vito's more than I did.
It wasn't bad, just average.
I am a Caesar salad fanatic and their version was not one I would order again. There was a sweetness to the dressing that I just didn't like.
My pasta was decent, but, again, just average. The Alfredo sauce tasted like it had been sitting for a while.
They do have good prices on wine and drinks. We had two entrees, a gin cocktail, and a bottle of house wine, and faced a bill of only $57. Â Not a bad Friday night.
If you dont mind paying $16 for a store bought pasta then this is the place for you. The pasta sauce for my seafood fettuccine is disgusting. The crab was imitation crab at its best. The shrimp isnt fresh and the garlic bread is obviously not baked fresh from scratch. I don't like Olive Garden but I would say they make Olive Garden like a real "Italian" restaurant.
Review Source:Vodka sauce - rarely does vodka sauce live up to expectations but this deserves an award. Seafood Fettucini - huge shrimp and cheeeesy, and lasagna - huge, cheesey, and presentation is beautiful. The garlic bread is the best. If you have ever had Pasquali's Pizza same oohey, gooey, buttery, garlicky goodness. Arrive hungry and preorder to go box. Even the salad is top notch. I've been eating here for at least a decade. It is usually a holiday reunion for my girlfriends to catch up and we spend a few hrs over wine and chit chat. Always, a great evening.
Review Source:My family and I came here last night for my hubby's birthday dinner. He read all the awesome reviews here and decided to try it out. I am really glad we did because it was pretty delicious.
We skipped the appetizers and went straight for our main meal. Each meal comes with a soup or salad and garlic bread. I really enjoyed the dressings for the salads but I will admit the salad seemed to come out of a bag, which I am not a fan of. But, the dressing made up for that part. I loved the garlic bread. It was soft and still warm when we got it and it wasn't too greasy or slathered in butter.
I ordered the tortellini which was delicious. It was spinach pasta stuffed with ricotta and parmesan cheese with tomato and alfredo sauce. I liked the lightness of the sauces and really like the tenderness of the pasta.
Other people at the table ordered the chicken fettuccine which was a generous portion and look incredible. I sampled a bite!! My hubby ordered the Chicken Giovanni which was chicken served in a spicy tomato sauce over angel hair pasta. I barely got a bite before my husband decided to demolish it because it was so good!
I will say the portions were generous, especially the amount of meat everyone received on their plate. My mom ordered a salmon dish and out came this huge piece of salmon on a bed of angel hair pasta. She was impressed.
For dessert we passed around spumoni, yum yum yum yum...also some cheesecake which I heard was delicious and soft..and I had a cannoli which I enjoyed a lot!! In the end, I would definitely come back here and sample some of their other delicious looking entrees. I will say make reservations!!! We did and it was pretty busy by 6 and very busy by 7.
A quaint and intimate restaurant. Â I enjoy the sinatra-esque music, the dim lighting and exposed brick. Â Can be very romantic. Â The chicken diablo is the absolute best item on their menu. Â I love it. Â It's a small family owned business and the service has been impeccable each time I have been. Â Love it.
Review Source:Charming, friendly locally-owned Italian-American restaurant. Â Everything I have tasted here has been delicious, and the bread is awesome. Â The servings are quite ample, and the prices fair. Â It is true that the food is not adventurously prepared, but for standard Americanized Italian, this is among the best in the area.
Review Source:I forgot how perfectly quaint this place is! We hadn't been to Vito's for quite a while and revisited last night which was a great decision. They weren't busy at all for a Monday night but fortunately I know they do a booming business on the weekend. Our service was great (Susan) and our meals were exceptionally good! The bread in a basket that arrived first was really yummy. It's not the crusty bread & flavored oil dip that most places serve but a fresh loaf of cut bread that is buttery & delicious. The salads were nice & simple, romaine, red onion rings, freshly shredded mozzarella and dressing on the side. Their house Italian dressing is a creamy Italian, very peppery & good. I had the spaghetti with creamy tomato vodka sauce and Italian sausage which was really superb. My date had the linguini with clam sauce which we both agreed was some of the best we've had. The sauce was slightly thick and was chock full of clam meat and herbs. The pricing is incredibly reasonable and the portions are absolutely huge. How can you go wrong here? I saw someone at a table next to us ordered the angel hair pasta with salmon. The salmon filet was enormous and the meal looked delicious. Their house wine list is very affordable and they offer $3.50 glasses on Mondays. All in all, we've been screwing-up not coming here for so long but we won't make that mistake again.
Review Source:Best Italian food I have ever had. Â Everything from the bread to the salad dressing to the pasta is homemade and to die for. Â If anyone asks for a good recommendation for a place to eat on the South Side, we always suggest Vitos. Â The service is great, the food is even better, and it is very reasonable.
Review Source:I am a big fan of Vito's. Small, intimate setting, endless bread basket that is enough of a reason to go. Â The food is always exceptional, I just wish there was a way for an Italian place to come up with an Alfredo sauce that re-heats well without separating.
A friend of mine took me for a late Saturday Lunch before we hit up a few different bars that night. I was soooo full, great wine selection and the food was beyond tasty
Took my boyfriend there when we first stated dating and again had great service and delicious food. The staff is always friendly. never seems to rush you through the meal, and the food takes just the right amount of time to get out of the kitchen.
I love the food and I have never had bad service. Â We've been coming here for years. The bread is amazing, and the Italian salad dressing is so good I could just eat bread and salad. Â But, I can never stop with just that, I always have to have the vodka sauce which is like none other! Â Perfect! Â
The pizza is great too! Â We also had our rehearsal dinner here when our kids got married. Â They did a great job! Â We had the back room to ourselves and had wonderful service and everyone had only good things to say about the food.
I'm sorry but this place was not at all what I thought it would be. Â Chalk it up to cautious optimism, but my meal did not live up to the hype I've read. Â The atmosphere was pleasant enough and the service was mediocre, but looking past that, the food just lacked pizzazz. Â I couldn't find the pasta in the plate of sauce they put before me and my husbands chicken marsala lacked flavor. Â My son's alfredo sauce looked lumpy and the fact that he left it on his plate spoke volumes to me. Â Definitely not the kind of italian meal I look for when dining out. Â Price - ridiculously high for what was placed before us.
Will not return. :(
This place has one of two of my favorite marinara sauces, the other place is in Galena, IL so they don't compete with each other. Â Plus their free bread is out of this world. Â The portions are big enough to share (especially since you end up eating so much delicious bread) and it is really cheap. Â The places looks live a dive from the outside, but it is so worth it. Â I had my rehersal dinner here & it was perfect. Â They gave us 4 sauce choices, 4 pasta choices, option to add meatballs or sausage, everyone got a salad & bread. Â Just perfect for keep it reasonably priced, but giving people a nice meal. Â Go here & give it a chance if you like the sweeter marinara. Â You won't be dissappointed.
Review Source:Finally decided to go here after driving past it every day. My wife and I had a good experience.
The place is very small. It doesn't look that nice from the outside but inside is a bit different. I think we got there right in time, because as soon as we sat down. A bunch of people came and had to wait.
Our waitress was nice, but she seemed rushed. Both my wife and I ordered the tortellini. It was a modest portion, but it was really good. They also give you garlic bread, which is pretty addictive.
The service here seems quite good, though. A heard a waitress telling another customer driving instructions to a place in Indy. I thought that was nice.
Overall, I had a good experience. I want to try their pizza next time I go. It looked good.
Love this place for both dining in and carry out. Â Whenever my wife and I go to eat at the restaurant its time for some Chicken Giovanni. A wonderful blend of chicken, spicy sausage with great sauce and noodles. Â Everything on the menu is good and the garlic bread is simple but extremely tasty and garlicy. Â When we get carry-out its time for pizza that has two things going for it that the chain pizza places don't; a great tasting fresh crust and a really nice sauce that has a little spice to it. Â Vito's is a great local find and I would say everyone on the southside should support this local restaurant.
