Wonderful decoration we went last week for my mother’s birthday, the mariachi are pleasant. The food was tasty, the Cadillac have too much salt in them I returned 2 of them and they made it way better. The indoor decorations were the highlight of my night.

We truly enjoyed this restaurant! The food was outstanding and so was the service - the chef even came to our table. Parking is easy and convenient too.

For more than 30 years, chef and restaurateur Agostino Sciandri has enchanted Los Angelenos by introducing the flavors of Northern Italy in his classic and contemporary Italian dishes and his devotion to upholding the European standard of hospitality and exemplary service. Patrons escape the LA hustle and bustle, sipping Barolos and twirling their forks in homemade pastas, as though dining al fresco in the piazzas of Italy.

I have had to eat gluten free for almost a decade now and this is by far one of the best menus I have found in California. Even if I wasn't GF, I would still be eating here. Food is always 12/10 along with service + ambiance. A note to the Open Table developers: need to enable 6 star ratings literally just for 401k.

The food came out too slowly. People who came in after us got their food before us so the kitchen is still working things out. But the food was worth the wait! Really excellent! And the ambiance is incredibly well thought out. It’s a beautiful addition to South LA. Can’t wait to go back.

Wow I have been driving by Vitos for many years and always wanted to go! It was amazing!!!! We had the happy hour drinks and food. My eggplant parmesan was delicious and martini superb!!!! My husband and daughters pasta was fantastic (husband very picky and loved his shrimp pasta). The music was so great and the heat lamps on the patio kept us plenty warm! Also, the blond haired hostess was sooo accommodating and nice! Server's were so nice too! Next time, I will eat in the dining room for a special occasion!!
