Ciao, Ciao Vito – Diners, please take note that most reviews are mid-2008 and before. Why? I'm not sure...maybe because not many folks are coming in anymore? Possibly. Went out Friday with neighbors originally for an excursion to Toro Bravo but left there after being informed of the 2.5 hour wait (um, no). Collectively decided to go somewhere closer to home and ended up at Ciao Vito. First time there for my wife and I. We were able to get a table upon arrival (good or bad thing I'm not sure). Hard to decide if our server was... read more
to much hype!!!??? – ok, so i know that Alberta is this up and coming hot spot, but can the street get some better restaurants on it? This place is not all that, in fact i think it's a little blown out of proportion. The offerings on the cocktails were boring, the wine list, well, they need to get a new wine buyer cause i had to go through 6 tasters to find one that i could barely even put down let alone spend $10.00 a glass on. The menu needs help, maybe some salt? Some garlic? some flavor in our dishes? I was told the owne... read more
Great example of a portland top restaurant – I ate there just the other day (saturday). It was a lazy day outside but when we got into Ciao Vito the Chefs were busy as could be. The food that we say on the bar looked great and got our taste buds zooming. We ate some calimari that was full of flavor and more crispy and tender than i have ever had. The Salad too was just what you expect in the summer. flavorfull and harty. the Ceaser was a great twist moving away from the romain. Who likes cruchy water. the Kale was great. For... read more
Good Dinner in Relaxing Atmosphere – We went to Ciao Vito last nite for a birthday celebration. My favorite Italian restaurant was always Tuscany Grill and I've been looking for a replacement since they closed. We made reservations for a Sunday nite, and were immediately seated in the comfy front booth with a beautiful glass chandelier. While service was a bit slow to start, I think our server was giving us time to settle in and peruse the drink menu. Her wine recommendation was spot on, and from then on, her level of attent... read more
Great linguini & clams – We went to Ciao Vito this past Friday. To my chagrin my friends failed to make a reservation ( that was my buddies job ) no biggie. The host got us in within ten minutes of our arrival ( not bad for 7:30 on a Friday night ) I agree with comments about the poor lighting. Too dark for my taste. My wife pointed out that the interior walls needed painting, hence the poor lighting. Now to the food & service. Drinks took longer to get than our table! Great bread ( I think it was Ken's ) wish there was more... read more
No concept on service – Had an irritating night here. First and last time we will ever eat at this restaurant. It?s surprising how lame and tacky this place is. The man who greeted us at the door never cracked a smile or had any greeting for us. It took 10 minutes just to get anyone to our table. Then the drinks took another 10 minutes. Our meals were longer. They must have forgotten about us. When my dinner was served it was soooo hot, it never cooled down. Obliviously reheated in the kitchen. Never once did the waitress as... read more
Very nice local feel with Italy and PNW fusion – I am surprised with the not so good reviews. I have been to Ciao Vito with my husband several times and also with friends. Their wine list is very well thought out. Prices are reasonable. The food was amazing. We had calamari and salad with blue cheese, both prepared very well and incredibly fresh. I had the flank steak, my husband had the seafood special, sea bass. I can't explain what they did to the bass, but it was the best piece of fish I have tasted in Portland metro in ... read more
Terrible service... trying to save every penny... – I went to CV with a group of friends. Our reservations were intact and when we arrived the table was set and ready, this was awesome, and I thought it was going to be a great culinary experience. We sat for a while and two different servers took our drink orders...I ordered a diet coke which came promptly in a skinny glass...about 8 oz I would estimate. As the rest of our party arrived and we looked over the menu someone said "isn't this an Italian place? Shouldn't there be... read more
What a CLUSTERF*CK – Reservations mean nothing at this place. The hostess seemed very inexperienced and just keeps batting her eyes as she said sorry over and over. We headed to the bar to wait to be seated. After dropping $30 on 2 rounds of drinks, the hostess finds us just over an HOUR after we made our reservation. She says sorry (again) and says that they want to buy us a drink. Of course we had just ordered one, the bartender looked at her like I am not refunding anything. Low and behold no free drink or mention of it e... read more
