So Nice! – Outstanding food. Made room for us when there was no room. The service was great with full knowledge of menu. YUM YUM!
Good but not Great – After several visits it's obvious that this spot is on its way to being a great destination. Around its opening, the antipasti dish (delicious variety of vegetables, etc.) was so tasty it prompted a return visit. The second time was less memorable. I do appreciate the wine list and the informed servers...still, some of the pastas were average. For the neighborhood, however, this place shows what a small restaurant can do. I hope that they follow in the tradition of the best osterias and not the Portland ... read more
Midweek Treat - Don't Miss It – Tired, cranky and not wanting to deal with dinner we went to Ciao Vito hoping to get a simple, good meal. GOAL ! ! ! I called 10 minutes ahead of time; "Any chance of dinner for two?" Answer; "We're pretty busy but we always have room for a couple more." Instant comfort before we even got there. Wonderful food, very reminiscent of Chef Michael Symon's storied Lola Bistro & Wine Bar in Cleveland. Attentive service, a couple of GREAT Italian reds by the glass, steaming hot, flavorful pasta. Go t... read more
Nice Change of Pace – Great overall value: Great food, reasonable prices, nice ambience (unless you're seated near the door), and friendly, but BUSY, servers. The grilled asparagus starter, halibut entree, pork chop entree, and chocolate pot de creme dessert were fantastic. Although service was quite slow, waitstaff were friendly when at our table. (AND, let's face it, one of the benefits of slow service is that you don't have to endure the sometimes not so subtle pressure of being pushed toward the door by your server. I re... read more
Absolutely Fantastic – No pretending here; these people know what they're doing. They've created a truely upscale yet down to earth restaurant in an eclectic neighborhood. The food is all fantastic. Prices fit the portions. Drinks are great. Service is top notch without being stuffy. Fantastic all around. A huge benefit to the Alberta neighborhood. Thank you!!
Better than good, however... – ...a little too crowded for this diner. After I was denied the razor clams as an appetizer, I had it as an entree and was a bit disappointed in its overall value. Though the razor clams were excellent and cooked like an abalone steak, for a price the cabbage slaw occupied much of the plate. I suppose razor clams are at a premium in January to justify the $$$. The wines were complimentary and assorted in Italian with only Bricco from Oregon. And, the table were quite close to clearly hear a conv... read more
Excellence ...Its in there – Being Sicillian and coming from NYC...I know good Italian. Trust me. The food, the service, the presentation...it don't get no better. If they'd dress up the place it would be a big plus. So maybe they haven't spent $100 on decor, the food will overwhelm you regardless. Its a "MUST" for a nice romantic candlelit dinner. Bon Apetit, Rico
ciao vito best in portland – If you like great food, great atmosphere and fabulous service, check out Ciao Vito. Prices are moderate and portions are amazing. What Vito does with pork chops and razor clams is amazing. Please do yourself a favor and have the meatballs!If you have a larger party (up to 12) book the big table right in front of the kitchen, it's great to sit, enjoy and watch the action!
Rudeness du jour at Ciao Vito – Upon entering the half empty restaurant we were brusquely informed that there was no available inside seating. As we moved to an outside table, another hostess let us know we could have an inside 2 top if we left by 7:30. As we sat down we asked to see the happy hour menu, and were informed it wasn't available in the 'dining' room. we then attempted to move outside AGAIN, only to realize that in the 10 minutes wasted on our seating, the happy hour was no longer being served. The hostess and I ... read more
