Americano is designed to encourage a communal dining and imbibing experience. We suggest starting with a few bites for the table alongside some selections from our crafted cocktail menu or distinctive wine list. From there, our menu offers the opportunity to taste a bit of everything or enjoy a traditional full entree. Our question to you is, "How would you like to dine?"

Please note that a limited menu will be provided for parties of 12 or larger. To book a private space or to make a reservation for a large party on the patio, please email americanorestaurant@hotelvitale.com.

We ordered the hamburger, which was excellent and the Frisco Pizza. I liked the pizza but wish the cheese was spread out more and not in area to create a blob. For dessert, we had the apple tart and it was OK. The tart was under baked and the apples were inconsistent in doneness. Other than that, everything else was very good.

The food has always been memorable each time I’ve dined at Americano. Some of the tables can be very close to other patrons b this last time I got a table in the back by itself which was perfect. I highly recommend the Express Lunch as it gives you a little of everything (but plenty to fill you up). You get soup, salad, and choice of a pasta dish from the menu or a panini. All the food is great but I highly recommend getting the soup. For some reason their soup has always tasted better than any other restaurant I’ve visited.

Wildly overpriced even by pre fix holiday standard for mediocre food and zero ambiance. Service was fine but not exceptional enough to make up for an otherwise uninspired meal. Would not return or recommend.

New Year’s Eve get-together for 9 friends. We anticipated a great time but service was low par. Our waiter was really good and trying very hard and very knowledgeable BUT his service partners didn’t quite know what was going on and made it challenging for our waiter. When we asked for bread, service partner said, “I’m not your waiter.” A trained service person would say, “Let me get your waiter.” When the food was served, there were missing flatware so we had to wait and flag service. No one was around we had to flag the front service person as good was getting cold. Same thing when dessert was served, no flatware. Our patio location was not full unless there were more patrons in the main dining room but that should not excuse bad service. I think that’s the problem with prix fixe and required 20% service charge. No incentive for the waiter’s service partners to support his efforts. Really made waiter look bad. He made it up be offering us tea and coffee for the 3 of us who appreciated the extra. Prix fixe was good value. Prime rib was excellent. The prawns were overcooked and shell was sticking to prawn skin, we sent it back and were offered quail instead.

Food was bland. No seasoning, salt or herbs. Not worth the investment for New Years Eve. Service was hurried and not friendly but his assistant was helpful and more friendly. I expected much more. Beautiful location and was the perfect spot to walk to the water and watch fireworks.
