Everything was great about our dining experience from the food to the atmosphere to the wait staff. Can’t say enough good things about this place!
It was nice to get out again! We had a wonderful experience and can't wait to go back!
My friend and I probably would’ve left if we weren’t vaccinated for COVID. We ate indoors (we are still in the purple tier) and they did not follow the same precautions as previous dining experiences in other establishments like distancing between tables, temperature checks, and taking your personal information to track in case of exposure. The food was fine, servers were nice, but I would’ve appreciated stricter enforced COVID protocols.
This remarkable Italian restaurant is a gem hidden in the most unlikely of places, an upscale neighborhood mall. The atmosphere is cozy old-world quaint and the food, as exquisite as any four- or five-star Michelin favorite. Kudos to the chefs and staff for creating this amazing culinary experience.
Excellent in every way -- great service, great food.
Food took forever and server was not a very good communicator or manager of expectations
But the rack of lamb was good once it got there. Ok selection of wine but descent.
The hostess totally forgot we were there so it was a long wait to sit. The bartender was nice and drinks were god. The food was very average for the high prices!
OK maybe the day before Valentines, but the place wasn't close to ready.
Indoors and way too crowded with normal density of people.
CDC Covid Case study waiting to happen. I should have turned around and left...
Service poor. Food average.
Avoid.
Maybe they'll turnaround post-covid
The menu at this restaurant has everything you could possible want. In addition, the restaurant is able to use all the available space. As a result, the number of people attending is also quite large. The staff does a good job trying to balance the needs of the diners with the needs of the people preparing the food.
The diners receive a good amount of good quality food for a reasonable price.
Make sure to call ahead. I think they were caught off guard when we showed up with an open table reservation. They did seat us and we had great food and service.
I highly recommend Vittorio Italian to anyone looking for delicious food at a great value & top notch service. My husband & I went to an impromptu date night. The food was excellent & we were welcomed like we were old friends. Do yourself a favor & check it out!
Family favorite. Consistently good food and service.
Victor's email on 1/2 wine got us in there but its my go to place also
Great service. Friendly servers. Neighborly. Good value. Worth the trip.
I will return. Great food. Great service. Relaxing environment.
Outstanding service, food was delicious! Thank you Alex for everything!
Good service and vibe, however we didn't like one thing we were served. The calamari wasn't crisp or hot enough and didn't have much flavor, the vodka sauce tasted pretty much like tomato soup, the kids didn't even like their fettucine alfredo because it was tasteless. I hate to leave a bad review for such a family friendly place, but the food just wasn't very good.
Love Vittorio’s— very good to excellent this visit. Generally I give 5 stars but tonight’s lamb was not as good as usual. Otherwise great service and a great experience.
Great local place with great Italian food
Another great experience ! Not only the food is delicious, the service is outstanding and they are SUPER careful about making sure the place is clean and safe against COVID!
We'll be back very soon!
Vittorio's is always excellent. The open-windows on the side room are perfect for this COVID time. Food was great as usual. Special Tuesday night deal included a great bottle of wine and two entrees for under $40
Great place to spend an evening out dining
Great food, great service, super convenient location/access. Two thumbs up.
Great place. The food is very authentic and fresh. I’ve tried the pizza, pasta, and steak!! Great experience. The Tropical salad was delicious and unique!!
I took my daughter for her 21st birthday. The service was impeccable and we were also treated like family. The food is scrumptious.
We love this place! The food and drinks are delicious! The service is outstanding.
Great restaurant, excellent service always and amazing food!!!
Wonderful food and wonderful people
Wonderful restaurant. Food was wonderful and the staff was attentive and prompt.
Sunday specials were awesome. Thanks for being open!
We'd gone here for a few wine dinners and decided to try the regular menu one night, and were very pleased with the result. Fresh ingredients and good classic preparation makes this a very good choice for an Italian dinner
Great local Italian restaurant. Everything, including the specials are tasty and fresh!!
food and service were great Would definitely go back there again and recommend to friends
The food was great but the bar area was very close to the main room and people were yelling and very loud watching a game on TV. It really felt more like a sports bar rather than a pretty expensive restaurant.
Best Italian Restaurant in San Diego!
We frequently eat here! Great food and great service! Victor the owner is obsessive with quality and service and cares about his customers. Our favorite server is Chuck who always gives us extra ordinary service. Very attentive and engaging. Eating at Vittorio's is always a great experience!
It's a great place to go. One of our local favorites
For a super busy night, everything worked like clockwork. Seated on time, favorite appetizer (tuna stack) and two great entrees. Very happy with this experience.
So happy to find a close spot for Italian food without driving clear downtown to Little Italy. Staff was super friendly and small portions were even large enough to bring some home.
Wonderful staff, great food, and a charming ambiance. We've been coming for years. It's our favorite neighborhood restaurant in San Diego.
The food is wonderful. Staff were attentive. It quiet enough so that it was easy to carry on a conversation with the other couple we dined with. Highly recommend..
