Fresh and local, it shows. Pride in ownership and thoughtful service – This place is a perfect example of what Portlanders want when dining out. The service is orchestrated like watching a corregraphed ballet with symphany. No one goes without, meaning if your server is busy, the others will take over. Very smooth! Now onto the food: wonderful!! It couldn't be better. It's truly PNW Italian with local flare. And the Italian chef makes no mistake to put his own stamp on each dish, which makes it truly special. We are still ra... read more
Great customer service, best sphagetti in the town, great ambience, trendy. – One of the best Italian restaurants in the Portland area. Food is delicious. Service is exceptional-one person is tasked to replace your silverware/plates when dirty, refill on drinks is automatically asked/filled, bread is put on the table as soon as its close to being finished etc etc. Decor is very trendy. Will definitely try again.
Exceptional service! – We dined with another couple on a rainy Friday night, having made a reservation 30 mins in advance. We were seated immediately. Our server greeted us promptly and got us our drinks in short order. The calamari appetizer was wonderful - a large portion shared among 3 of us, cooked to perfection. We both ordered the halibut with roasted peppers, which was superb and a nice large portion to boot. Our friends had the eggplant parmigiana and the special, which was chicken & pork meatballs with penne pasta. ... read more
Great atmosphere, try it on a Last Thursday! – We went to Vito's after a Last Thursday walk on Alberta..The food was great..I'm Italian and this is not "traditional" Italian food but it's definetely a new Italian/American contemporary cuisine worth trying..The polenta is great! If you like off-dry whites try their Vermentino.. Desserts are nothing special but not bad.
eh, wouldn't write home about it – My boyfriend and I ate here the other night and enjoyed the atmosphere. The server was friendly and the restaurant was not too crowded or loud. In fact, when we arrived, I was hoping that some more people would show up.... Let me first just say that I cannot believe that regulars of CV protest if there's no bolognese. How about some pasta with your meat? We were ready to go buy some hard shell tacos and make some taco leftovers. Also, there was hardly any tomato paste or product and there w... read more
YUMMY, YUMMY, YUMMY – What a great treat! My girfriend and I went for dinner last night and had such a wonderful meal. I had heard about Ciao Vito but had no idea what a great find it is. I had the razor clams with a fabulous mixed salad and she had the crispy duck with creamy polenta. Ever bite brought smiles and yum, yum noises. The service was excellent, the chef even came out to say hello. I have already told several friends and can't wait to go back. Purely, simply wonderful.
Yay! Fabulous experience – I am happy to report that I left a bad review for this restaurant in September soley because of the bad service, but I took my parents there two weeks ago and it was fabulous! Our server was very attentive without being over-solicitous. He was polite and engaging. I think the food is always fabulous. We had the calamari which is always good. We each had a different dish and raved about it. I think their steak is to die for, but I chose a chicken dish special and was very happy with it. I think thei... read more
Small, dark and delicious. – Crowded, noisy and popular enough that even with a reservation you might have to wait almost an hour. This has happened to me twice with a party of four and a reservation made well in advance during the winter season. Still, the servers are some of the best around and the food is satisfying in every way. Delicious, fresh, robust flavor. I haven't tried the marinara that other reviewers have been unhappy with but I had a plate of steak frites that was day-dream worthy. That table by the bathroom i... read more
skip the pasta – My dinner companion had the pork, which they enjoyed. However, I ordered the marinara. Folks, just go to the Olive Garden if yu're going to order this - better yet, just open a can of Chef Boyardee - it will taste the same and save you $14. Very bland and NOT worth the price. I will not be going back. The wait staff was fine..... I just can't get over the meal.
