Neighbourhood gem

Vito’s is an iconic 21 and over restaurant and lounge located on First Hill. Opened in 1953, it has a history rich in cocktail culture, organized crime and east coast, family style Italian food. In April of 2010, Jeff Scott and Greg Lundgren purchased this Seattle institution and began a major restoration of the space. Their goal is to return Vito’s to the glamor and style of the 1950s, respect its colorful past and set the course for a 21st-century resurrection. Over the years the club has fallen into disrepair and poor alterations. They have replaced the dance floor with a performance space centered around a grand piano, with lounge singers, jazz trios and Lynchian curiosities that will dazzle and entertain into the early morning.

Very cozy place with lots of character, good cocktails and wines. The food was good Italian and the staff does an excellent job pairing food with wine. It is easy to get to off the freeway and reasonable parking nearby. I really like the place.

It's like a vintage basement with delicious food and drinks. The lasagne is amazing! Went on an evening before any entertainment begun so the noise level was moderate. Hope to catch a show there soon. Service and food were spot on.

Good, but not great. If you're looking for date night where you can't actually talk to your date, this is the place.

This is a jazz club so don't expect a quiet conversation. At times yhe conversation noise equalled that of the music which I attribute to a boisterous table of patrons. The one drawback of the venue is how dark ot is. It was VERY hard to read the menus, especially the drink menu with small print, with the faint lighting. Table candles help but not much and not enough... The music is free so can't complain too much and is a good venue for music and drinks. Food is a bit more tricky and the service felt a little short-handed
