My parents recommended this restaurant as one they liked. My wife and I did not enjoy the food or the experience.
The food was just bland and not unique. I had the Penne Caprese which had penne pasta tossed with grilled chicken, fresh mozzarella, tomato, red onions, fresh garlic and basil, drizzled with balsamic glaze. Sounds good to me! It wasn't a bad dish, it just wasn't a good dish. The two chicken breasts were grilled and flavorless, the balsamic glaze was meh and the mozzarella was probably from a grocery store.
While I probably would have been okay with the normalness of Vito's dishes, the service was lacking as well and those two things combined make me pretty unhappy. My iced tea was refilled once during service and the ice had completely melted. I HATE iced tea without ice. We were sitting on the patio and the server seemed like she probably had tables inside as well and that restaurant is huge on the inside. Also, the side table on the patio with the refill pitchers and Micros terminal looked like a folding table with a dirty cloth draped over it and lots of stuff stored underneath. It just wasn't very nice looking and seem like it should be something that was behind the scenes instead of on the patio.
IF I went back to Vito's (which is a big if) I don't think I would sit on the patio again because it's my least favorite type of patio setting. The patio is basically in the parking lot and has a lot of cars that drive past it. I really don't need exhaust with my bland chicken; it doesn't make it better.
I think Vito's has it's core demographic and is successful because of their return business, I'm just not that demographic and will probably go to Olive Garden the next time I'm looking for Italian. Sorry Vito's; I just wasn't impressed... but I wanted to like you.
