Sat outside on a lovely warm evening Food was excellent. I think they forgot about us sometimes because most of the patrons were indoors while we were outside. Consequently service was a little slow. But our dinners were both terrific!

My first time here and I took a party of 8 for Mothers Day. To a person they were impressed. We ordered about 6 different dishes and everyone really liked their food. I would go there any time and it's only been 24 hours and I have already told 3 people who good my experience was at the restaurant. For the price and the quality a great experience and an even better deal!

We love date nite! Great value for an entree snd bottle of wine. We both had seafood linguine. The marinara sauce is so light and sweet and generous portions of fresh fish. We always add a salad.. we had Mediterranean which was very crisp and well presented. Cannoli’s for dessert which are my favorite.. crispy shell, chocolate chips and cream filling. We feel so lucky to have this restaurant so close to Santaluz!

Vitorrios never disappoints. Great variety of Italian pastas, salads, dishes, and pizzas. Something for everyone. Our waiter was very attentive, friendly and efficient. Just enough attention to make sure everything was good, not hovering or absent… just right. The restaurant has a nice welcoming ambiance . Great for families, as well as couples, or friends . Vitorrios is my “go to” restaurant.

Victor, the host, and his staff have been welcoming and attentive each time we have been there. The lasagna and cioppino were both well done, a selection of wine that is price wise reasonable. A comfortable neighborhood place that has booths, tables and a bar that seats about 10.

My wife and two adult sons were at Vittorio's on Saturday February 19 in the evening. So nice to see a lot of people in there. Staff was very friendly on arrival. We were seated and immediately young high school men came and filled our water glasses and brought bread. And they repeatedly returned throughout dinner to refill water. Cocktail, wine, and beer selection is good and the food is really wonderful and well presented. Very fresh, great tasting, and well crafted. The usual Italian, but go for some of the "different" dishes. A couple of riffs on short ribs come to mind. They even noted my son's 20th bday and brought him a great dessert of a chocolate type lava cake and ice cream , Really well done. We will definitely be returning. Kudos to the team at Vittorio's
