I ordered at the bar and had a beverage in the interim while I waited for my pizza. The bar patrons were very nice and knowledgeable about the menu; one gentleman even let me try his food when it came from the kitchen (seafood lasagna- yum)! They gave me some great tips on food to try from the menu in the future. My company and I thought the pizza was very good and perfectly cooked. It was not the best pizza ever, but it hit the spot!
On a second occasion, I came here on a date. I found the lights to be rather bright in the dining room (bar much better), but I am all about dim lighting anyway, so maybe I am biased. Also, our server was too attentive. I hate to say that because he was very nice and charming, but the interruptions were kind of annoying (my date actually mentioned it to me too). Another thing not helping the ambiance was a table of drunk golfers that needed hearing aides, making our intimate conversation rather challenging (not that it was the restaurant's fault).
More importantly, I guess you mainly go to a restaurant for food and Vito's did not disappoint. I cannot remember what my date had, but I know the plate was empty at the end, and it looked and smelled good upon arrival. I had the veal Marsala (don't hate me- yes I ate a baby cow), and it was amazing...The sauce was great, the pasta perfectly al dente, and the meat was tender as expected. I did not think I could finish it all because the portion was HUGE, but I did :)
