If you are looking for extreme atmosphere (view tables, chaneliers and a sommelier), try Vitos on another night. If, however, you are looking for exceptionally well prepared and executed italian food, Go Now! This restaurant is a breath of fresh air, where real people (families, single diners, friends) seem like part of Vito's family. Watching the staff and diners interract... more

My husband and I were in Monterey for a weekend and I am vegetarian so I often seek out an italian place to have a romantic dinner. It was our wedding anniversary but it was late on Saturday and we had no idea where to look. We actually typed in italian restaurants in our GPS and it located this place,... more

We had a wonderful meal at this restaurant. The owner's wife greeted us and we were provided with a wonderful and authentic Italian experience during our visit. Please do not be fooled by the location right next to the Safeway. It is a great restaurant. more

We live in the SF Bay Area but when friends/family come visit we try & visit beautiful Monterey and Carmel. Tourists, us included, not knowing the best restaurants in the area usually hit the ones on Fishermans' Wharf and the main street of Ocean Ave in Carmel. For last few years we've passed by Vito's in quaint Pacific Grove &... more

Vitos is by far our (my husband and I) favorite restaurant in the Monterey area...Sometimes the service is slow, but it is truly a family run operation and WELL worth the wait. Everything on the menu is amazing... my husband LOVES the gnocchi..and I tend to jump around as I have yet to try something bad. I highly recommend Vitos... more

Vito's is a family run restaurant that has great food at reasonable prices. If you want Italian food in this area, and you want good value, and good service, go to Vito's. Vito's wife greeted us at the door and sat us down. Vito came out of the kitchen to take our order, cooked our food, and delivered it to... more

My husband and I have eaten at Vito's at least a dozen times. On every trip to Monterey, Carmel, and Pacific Grove, we make certain to eat at Vito's at least twice. I highly recommend the prosciutto and the carpaccio. The best you will find anywhere. The veal parmigiana melts in your melt. The pastas are homemade and the desserts... more

I visited Vito's with my husband on a Saturday night, and it was very busy. We were seated almost immediately, and the food was very good- although the service was lacking. Most likely, because it was very busy, but we were more or less ignored. The couple at the table next to us was waiting a long time for the... more
