“ We had a lovely dinner with excellent service. I advised the server that I needed gluten free foods with no cross contamination due to Celiac auto immune disease. I was very clearly explained what was gluten free, made my dinner more pleasant. Unfortunately they charged extra for my gluten free meal :( ”
“ Excellent food and service. Our server Mike was the best ever. He a were every question and was spot on. Meal was outstanding. The Calamari was absolutely the best i have had ever. Not exaggerating at all. Very pleased by our meal and service. ”
“ Great food and service! The pollo parmigiano is the best I've ever had. The batter is thin and crisp and the chicken is so juicy. Also ordered the zucchini fritti which was delicious. The zucchini and zucchini are cooked in a similar batter that tastes excellent. Complimentary bread with oil and balsamic vinegar is served as well. Highly recommend the restaurant, but would also recommend calling to book a reservation as the place is on the smaller side and offers limited walk-in seating. ”
“ First visit and from the moment we walked in, we were greeted by the wonderful aroma of the food. They prefer reservations, since the food is freshly prepared, but we were seated promptly. Service was top notch, and the ambiance was warm and inviting. The lasagna was delicious as was the shrimp in a creamy Sambuca sauce. To finish things off, the tiramisu was fresh and moist, and my cappuccino was great. Highly recommended! ”
“ Great atmosphere. Several servers who helped us throughout the evening were all very nice. Food was very good overall. I had the veal stuffed with prosciutto, delicious, my only gripe would be the portion. But otherwise it was a great experience for our party or 7. Thanks. ”
“ Very good food and great service. We celebrated our anniversary with dinner there and it was perfect. The atmosphere was a very nice relaxed chic and the staff added the perfect touch. We will be back and I definitely recommend giving this restaurant a try ! ”
“ Celebrated my 30th birthday at Cucina da Vito and from the moment we walked in, we could tell that it was going to be a good night. Service was top notch, ambiance was warm and inviting, and the food was absolutely incredible - better than a lot of high class restaurants. Highly recommend! ”
“ We went on a Saturday evening for dinner in November and still think about it. Everything was excellent front service to food to ambiance. We enjoyed a bottle of Pinot. He had the Fruitti de Mare and I had the special pasta du jour (name I can't recall). Mine was cooked perfectly and had a creamy sauce. He savoured every bite of his seafood pasta. We began with the evening with Anti Rustico and all was fresh and delicious. Fresh hot bread and dipping oil was provided as well. We had no room left for dessert which I'm sure would have been heavenly. The total for all was 175.00...a memorable treat. Well be returning soon. ”
