I bought one of those daily deal things for Vittorio's ($25 for $50 of food/drinks) and the menu looked good so I thought my boyfriend and I would check it out.
Well the food was incredible. Just amazing. We started with the beef carpaccio and he had the tilapia as his main and I the clam pasta. Everything was cooked perfectly with quality ingredients and was very impressive. As far as the atmosphere goes, the decor was great, modern yet classic and very romantic. The staff was also fantastic from our server to the bussers.
With all the good things I have to say, you're probably wondering why I didn't rate higher than 2 stars. Well as much as it pains me, and as much and I loved the food and service the one thing that would keep me from ever going back was the Mariachi Singer going table to table with his guitar.
Don't get me wrong, the man was talented but I was there to have a nice quiet, romantic dinner, not to attend a concert. It was LOUD (to the point where I had to sit beside my boyfriend instead of across from him at our table just so we could have a conversation), it was disruptive and when he made his way to our table it was just plain awkward. Especially because our food arrived mid-song and neither of us felt comfortable enough to begin eating until he was finished. The owner seemed to really love the fact that this guy was around and was singing along with him (also annoying) but I'm thinking he just didn't have a clue.
It's really unfortunate that such a distraction would take away from an otherwise great experience. If they lost the performer, I would be happy to return.
