    The atmosphere of the restaurant was very pleasant and relaxing. The service was excellent, and the staff were polite and professional. The food was absolutely delicious and of high quality. Even my daughter, who is usually a picky eater, enjoyed everything! We had a wonderful time and will definitely come back again.

    This is our second time to Vatutto and I found it difficult to choose a main, however thanks to our thoughtful waiter the choice was made for me and I was pleased with the outcome. It was a very filling but satisfied evening out to celebrate my birthday.

    Food and service excellent as usual. Only complaint was that chocolate mousse was delicious it was way too rich. Noise levels way too high making it very difficult to chat.
