VittoriaCiopino (Fish Stew)I hope I spelled it like it was listed on your menu. Several years ago we ordered this absolutely scrumptious stew. On Anniversary we ordered it again. This time the liquid was a tomatoe like Marinara sauce instead of the Brothy stew liquid we loved so much several years ago. The fish was the same and delicious.Being Italian I have a recipe that has the brothy liquid will make it at home next time.
I mentioned to the waiter and he stated that some chefs have different methods of presenting. I understand and can say that it was delicious. However, I was expecting the brothy stew with the triangular toasts.
Other than that, loved the whole experience and appreciated the free dessert for our Anniversary! Thanks so much.5/15/2013 12:00:00 AMWe celebrated our 47th weddingWe celebrated our 47th wedding anniversary at Vittoria's and could not have been happier with any facet of the experience.

return.5/11/2013 12:00:00 AMThe seafood risotto was goodThe seafood risotto was good but way too much garlic. Also, it tasted like a lot of onion, however, the garlic and onion were not listed as ingredients. We would not order this dish again. The wedge of salad and bread were very good.
We will return and try different items. Service (Rex) was great and the atmosphere was very nice. Can't wait to return.5/11/2013 12:00:00 AMGreat Spot in PowellI really ejoyed this restaurant. Beautiful inside, excellent service. We had a party of 8, and everyone enjoyed the food - I would have given 4 1/2 starts on the food if possible, but a couple of the meals were good, but not great. The claim sauce was a bit "crunchy." The Pistachio Chicken was fantastic. Wine pricing was a bit high, but I'll defintitely go back.5/4/2013 12:00:00 AMOutstanding!Couldn't have asked for a better evening.

There is nothing I can say negatively about Vittoria. We visit here frequently and had a great meal and service for a party of seven.
My only wish is they upgrade the cabernet by the glass offerings.4/17/2013 12:00:00 AMGreat place with great pasta!Great place with great pasta!

I recommend this restaurant for a couple to a large group for their meetig rooms.4/13/2013 12:00:00 AMVittoria April 13This was our third trip to Vittoria and we were not disappointed. I had the linguine al' vongole, which was excellent. Lots of clams that were presented open in the shell. It was a very generous portion that I was able to enjoy again for lunch the next day. My wife had the chicken pistachio, which she said was quite good as well.
Vittoria's bread is excellent. We took the leftover bread home, which I used to soak up the extra clam sauce in my leftovers. That was almost a meal in itself.
The Caesar salad was just OK. It's described as a traditional presentation, but it's not. A true Caesar has anchovies rubbed on the inside of the bowl. The dressing was good but not great.
The interior of this restaurant is very nicely done.4/13/2013 12:00:00 AMThank you for making our nightThank you for making our night special. Everything from start to finish was perfect.

The ambiance was amazing- romantically lite candles, beautiful romanesque columns on either side of the dining room, and gorgeous hardwood floors. The seafood risotto was great and served in large portions, so it is great for leftovers! The service was timley and we were given plenty of time between appetizers, entrée, and dessert.
