    There was ice in my white wine and the champagne cocktail was ruby colored, but tasty. Something felt off, but I am not entirely sure what. I find Cafe Vitale can be great one visit and not so great the next. Will return since I like a neighborhood restaurant.

    Even though I've not dined here since pre-Covid because I've been out of the area, Ruben warmly welcomed me as if I was his best customer and long-time friend. My friend often dines here for dinner, but had not been for lunch and never had their pizza nor apple blue cheese salad. That is one of my favorite combos, so we ordered both for a "girl lunch" to share and for her to try both. She raved about both and is already looking forward to returning again for our next lunch together!

    We chose not to sit in the main dining area next to the piano player. Too loud for us. They kindly seated us in the back room. After the waiter leveled our dining table, things were great! It was quiet and our food was delicious. Our receipt does not list our server's name, only ID: 1, but he was extremely pleasant and helpful.

    We live near by & can walk here. 4 of us came for dinner. We each had something different and every person said their dish was excellent! My son had lamb chop special, it was cooked to perfect, so fresh. I had the tortellini, mushroom and ham dish. Our friend had the eggplant pasta dish & my husband had the calamari steak...also cooked perfectly. Service was lovely, very friendly, efficient young man. Wonderful!

    This was our 4th time a Cafe Vitale. Food and service was great. We went for Mothers Day and each mom had a choice of a complimentary glass of wine or Persecco. We will return!

    The noise level will make me think twice before eating here again unless I can book a table in the outside area behind the restaurant.
