We stopped by for lunch and it was great. They start out by serving you a bread basket of toasted ciabatta along with a garlic/pesto butter. We ordered a veal picatta entree that was absolutely fabulous ($17.95). The veal and sauce was mixed in with the pasta it was served with. We also had the salmon caesar salad ($14.95). The... More

Dinner at Vito's. Ahi Tuna tartar, burrata mozzarella with roasted red pepper and fig, calamari, mussels and thin crusted pizza. Great meal!

Great meal with great service. The atmosphere was warm an inviting with lots of space, not crammed in as you find in so many restaurants. The only thing that bothered me was the additional charge for soup or salad. Otherwise I would highly recommend.

A fun location in downtown San Juan, just a stones' throw from the famous Mission. Service was excellent and our BBQ Chicken pizza was very good. Vito's makes thin crust pizza so you don't feel like you're eating a loaf of bread with toppings. We had a nice Caesar salad which was a tad bit on the small side although... More

My boyfriend and I visited Vito's for the first time on 2/27/13, as we're always looking for good Italian food. The bread and herb butter was VERY tasty, and ultimately, we both thoroughly enjoyed our entrees. They had a few decent wines by the glass, which is always something I consider, so that was helpful. I had the Parmigiana with... More

Made a reservation on open table. Some reviews not so good, but decided to try anyway. We were seated in a room with a bunch of kids eating before a dance, so we got moved. The owner said he recently took over the place because it wasn't being run properly. We had some of the happy hour Chianti which was... More

We had a quick dinner there one evening, and all was good. The bread is quite tasty, and the entrees good. Try the antipasta - large enough to have as a meal or to share with many. Portions were quite filling. Would go back

The first clue was when I asked if the minestrone soup was traditional or some odd variation which I have been running into lately. The answer was 'I don't know what traditional minestrone is'. I felt like saying 'open a can of Progresso or go online to a food site and you will get an idea'. But I refrained and... More

Vitos is conveniently located in the heart of San Juan Capistrano, has a nice stylish interior design, but can be loud due to crowded seating (the dining room filled up o capacity at around 8 PM). The food selection is standard. Nothing unusual is on the menu, and on a recent Saturday, no specials of the day were offered. The... More

This is a very nice restaurant with a great wine list and a huge menu.I had lunch after visiting the mission. The server was very attentive and they had the best bread with pesto butter. I had a salad and an entree with 3 different pasta's. The spinach ravioli and the lasagna were delicious.
