A Favoirite spot serves disappointment – Normally, I love the food at Ciao Vito. I am a total foodie and go to many restuaruants through out the Portland area so the I am no stranger to the few "good" italian spots we have. I was extremely surprised at the level of service we received this past weekend. After giving us the specials detail, our server seemed irritated that we asked for additional bread while we waited for our food (it was taking a little while but we are never too bothered by that if we know it is worth the w... read more
Horrid service - small servings – This place is terrible. Service was awful. People around us who had been sitted after us and ordered after us received their food before we did. Asking about our meal didn't help either. We were ignored! The bartender serving us knew her order got messed up (or maybe she messed it up herself) and didn't even have the courtesy to give us another serving of bread! We waited 45 minutes after our salad to get our meal. When we did, one was of good proportion, but the pasta with pesto was the siz... read more
Made my top 5 Worst restaurant experiance tonight and yes i have cooled down, Other 2 times, average at best in last year. – My fiance and I walk in without reservation 7:15. We got sat immediately at the bar. After a lively bar area order, I get sugo pork, with polenta and ragu $18, my fiance, skirt steak with french fries $21. Ok, french fries at an Italian spot!?! the menu had only a few actual Italian words on the menu. The entire menu barely fills a page and mild. After searching my fiance's plate for the tablepoon of m... read more
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
Good Dinner in a relaxing atmosphere If you like italian then you will love Ciao Vito. The atmosphere is cozy and the service terrific. It is a great neighborhood feeling place that has a bit of the feel of the Pearl without the fuss. You will see folks in their good clothes sitting next to folks with a ton of tatoos. The food is not the traditional italian but rather the more mediterranean. A great meal in a very casual atmosphere.
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
