    Free bread with tomatoes
    Melissa A.

    My husband and I went to Vegas for a basketball tournament. One of the parents offered to take the team to the movies at South Point. Husband and I decided to try Don Vitos on a Sunday evening. We didnt have reservations and they got us right in. We were welcomed warmly by the the waiter, I dont remember his name but he was very knowledgeable about the menu. We started off with the stuffed blossoms and they were crunchy, creamy and delicious. My husband had the lobster spinach Alfredo pasta and he wasn't a fan, he didn't read the description properly and only ate half. We also had the stuffed clams imperial and they were also delicious, highly recommend. Cesar salad was fresh and crispy and made table side. Manager came by and inquired about our meal and noticed the pasta and offered us a different plate. We declined and they took it off our bill which was very nice as it was my husband's fault. We ended the night with the lemon cake with fresh berries, get this desert, it was not too sweet, just enough tart and very soft and fluffy. I enjoyed the ambiance, the staff was phenomenal and very knowledgeable. We will definitely be coming back to this restaurant.

    Chicken Marsala

    Another birthday dinner at Don Vito's. It's a classic place we often choose to celebrate birthdays. Service is always great and they are very accommodating. The menu has plenty to choose from. They always have a great choice for wine of the month at a very affordable price, which makes the place very appealing for large groups. Parking is not a problem as it's located at the South Point Hotel & Casino. You can valet or park in their public parking at no charge.

    Steak and Eggs (ft. Cheeseburger)

    Came for steak and eggs (and cheeseburger) with a friend... had to get that Vegas special! Was it good? Yes, it definitely satisfied. The medium rare steak was cooked just right, and everything hit the spot and was as expected. Coming late at night was definitely worth the experience. 100% value and 100% hits the spot.

    Chicken picatta with capers and olive oil lemon sauce.
    Becky L.

    The food was very tasty with great flavor. There were 6 in our group. 3 opted for the chicken picatta with capers and a delicious lemon and olive oil sauce, so good. 1 ordered the shrimp pasta and she was very pleased with her meal. Another ordered the lasagna which she also said was good. My hubby ordered the 3 cheese ravioli with tomatoes and olive oil, he said was done perfectly. We started with bread basket served with a bruschetta (tomatoes in olive oil) dipping sauce. This was a very nice touch, so good! Each meal came with soup or salad. Needless to say we left full and happy! The restaurant is very nice inside with appropriate lighting. The service was impeccable! Will definitely be back!

    We had been wanting to eat here for a long time and finally did have the opportunity to do it. We had reservations and got seated immediately in a nice booth at the back of the restaurant which was nice. One of the first things we always notice the attitude of the hostess, and it often indicates how your service will be (in this case she was not very personable or friendly). The food here definitely was a 4-5 star, but the service could use some help. The complimentary bread and relish were simply delicious. The bread included a normal roll, a roll I call pizza type roll, and a flat cheese cracker type bread which were all great, but what them even better was the relish, which was a mixture of olive oil, balsamic, tomatoes, garlic, and other items (this relish was divine). No butter came with our bread, and we really never had the opportunity to ask for some. We had also ordered the Alfredo (homemade noodle) with shrimp added which was delicious. The white wine clam linguine we order was also very good. The Caesar salad that they mix next to the table was one of the best we have ever had. And the birthday dessert was also very good and a nice gesture. Overall, we were really impressed with all the food and the portion sizes. The service, attentiveness and friendliness are where they fell short. I want to say they tried, but we think they were either short staffed or disorganized. Giving them the benefit of doubt, I would say they were short staffed. The server did check back with us, but not as often as we would have expected, and time between the delivery of our salad, entrees and the check were long. They also have other staff helping but they rarely cleared our finished dishes or refilled our drinks or even asked if we needed anything else. The other negative thing we noticed is there were larger groups in the dining room and a few of them were pretty loud, obnoxious and using vulgar language (I would have thought management would have said something to them). I also had a question when the server picked up my check and payment, but he ran off so quick, he did not hear me (at this point we just wanted to leave). I would have loved to rate this restaurant higher for the food, but unfortunately the service and atmosphere were big negatives (I almost gave it a 2 Star rating but was being generous with the 3 Star rating).

    Great complimentary bruschetta basket
    William D.

    Heard good things but our experience wasn't great. My review is closer to 2.5 but bumped it to 3 without half star options. For starters we made a reservation and received the worst booth in the entire place right next to the kitchen entrance. We watched carts of food go in and out all night and employees talking back and forth. This booth shouldn't be here unless someone requests it because they enjoy being right on top of the kitchen door. This wasn't the worst part, the food was the worst part. The chicken parm was two chicken breasts. Not pounded out like they should be. Some parts of the chicken were rough. The penne was so overcooked it actually mushy. The red sauce on the penne was bitter but was told the same sauce was on the chicken parm which tasted very different. My the shrimp scampi was pasta was also very overcooked but the shrimps were undercooked. Added lots of fresh lemon to help add flavor but it was very bland as well. By far the best part was the bruschetta bread basket. The Caesar was decent as well but I've had much better. Calamari had some good pieces while others were extremely chewy. We left half our food which has never happened before and didn't take anything home. We love Italian food so much and this was the most disappointing Italian experience we've had in Vegas. Thank you for the complimentary dessert for our anniversary but again it wasn't very tasty. That part didn't surprise me as many places drop the ball on complimentary desserts. Left unsatisfied. Service was friendly, no issues there. Mentioned the table to the manager and she said she would note our account to never be sat at table 16 but sadly we won't be back.

    Service was good, but the food was just okay and felt pretty plain. For the price, it reminded me of a very expensive Olive Garden experience rather than something special. I ordered the lobster pasta for $39, but there was barely any lobster in it; halfway through the meal, I had to remind myself it was even supposed to be a lobster dish. The service was the highlight. The staff were very nice, welcoming, and warm, which I appreciated. But overall, the food didn't live up to the price or expectations.

    My cousin and I decided to use our $75.00 voucher at Don Vito's. The complimentary bread and tomatoe, garlic and olive oil spread was very addictive. I initially ordered the lobster with spinach fettichini alfredo wasn't to my liking. My waiter was very accommodating. I decided to try their shrimp scampi with linguini. The shrimp were succulent and the scampi sauce was garlicy, just the way I like it. My cousin ordered their chillian seabass with fresh greenbeans and lemon butter reduction. It was good. But she prefers it seared. When you walk into Don Vito's the ambiance is very cozy. All the staff are accommodating and gracious. To all my yelpers. If your in Las Vegas. Please dine at Don Vito's. To my yelpers. Let's continue to eat our way through out the world.

    Side order of spaghetti with generous sprinkle of shredded parmesan cheese
    Pacita D.

    What a revelation. It was a superb experience, from the moment we sat down. First of all, even though the tables were close to each other, we could carry on a conversation without shouting. The setting was so elegant. Our service was impeccable. We noticed that the wait staff consisted of very attentive and mature and obviously very well trained people. In a flash, it was wonderful to receive a generous basket of breads with their own delicious salsa. Our water glasses were never half-full because there was always a man filling our glases. For starters, we split a very large salad garnished with pears, gorgonzola cheese and candided pecans. We could have licked the bowl. It was that good. My partner ordered his favorite, chicken parmigiana. In his mind, this was his ultimate test to see if an Italian restaurant serves good food. He was delighted that the chicken wasn't pounded and overly breaded. It was plump and juicy, served with a side order of spaghetti. He thinks it's the best chicken parm he's ever had. The restaurant stopped offering cioppino, but they do have pasta pescatore in cioppino broth. Goodness, but that was incredibly tasty with lots of shrimp, clams, mussels and fish. Surprisingly, no squid. But that was perfectly fine with me. Wish they did have scallops, though. The cioppino broth was so rich and luscious. Had more than enough leftover for the next day's dinner. And happily, our server also included a fresh basket of bread and a very generous helping of their yummy salsa. So glad and happy we decided to eat there.

    Steak and eggs
    Mich W.

    Price here is insaneeee during graveyard hours. $8 steak and eggs!!! Quick service and great priced food, not the best steak but so worth it for the price. Definitely must go Vegas stop

    Complimentary bread basket with bruschetta like dipping oil.
    Ania K.

    A forgettable chapter in our Italian cuisine tour of Las Vegas. As part of our quest to explore every Italian restaurant in the city, a tribute to my man's love for the cuisine, we made reservations weeks in advance. We were seated beside the hallway to the kitchen where carts piled high with food clattered past us every minute or so. Usually they hit the wall and rattled our booth. Charming, right? Normally this can be forgiven with amazing food but sadly that wasn't the case. This spot could easily be mistaken for Olive Garden but with a higher price tag and even less flavor. The pasta was mushy, the calamari rough and rubbery, and the table-side Caesar lacked punch, served with watery dressing and even though it was tossed right in-front of us many of my pieces were left not coated in anything. We usually leave Italian spots with a bounty of leftovers, but not this time. My shrimp scampi was nearly inedible with overcooked pasta and shrimp that was once again, rubbery. My man's chicken parm came with thick, unpounded chicken that was very firm, paired with pasta somehow even more overdone than mine. The only memorable bite was the complimentary bread with bruschetta-style dipping oil that was very flavorful. When your free starter outshines everything else you know it's a problem. Left hungry and disappointed. If you enjoy great Italian food, look elsewhere.

    Stuffed Clams Imperial
    Lindsay T.

    We had a great dinner experience from the moment we walked in. We were seated at a comfortable booth, I would definitely recommending asking for one if they're available. We ordered the stuffed clams, lobster fettuccini, bone in ribeye and chose the tableside Caesar. Everything was excellent, with the steak being well seasoned and cooked perfectly to our requested temperature. My favorite was the stuffed clams though, they were stuffed full of fresh crab meat and came with a light but rich butter lemon sauce. I would definitely recommend as an appetizer. The espresso martini was also very well prepared, not too creamy with a strong espresso flavor, and only $9. Great choice for a date or family dinner.

    Dirty Up, Espresso Martini

    Don Vito's has an old world, classic vibe. It's quiet, dimly lit and comfortable. You will be greeted by friendly faces and experience attentive service. We enjoyed our cocktails, complimentary bread and Caesar salads (prepared tableside). Unfortunately, the entrees did not suit our taste. We had the Five Cheese Ravioli Oliva, Vito Vegan Pasta Primavera and Capellini Carbonara. We were surprised that the food was not very flavorful. However, portions were generous and we could tell that they use fresh, good quality ingredients.

    Can you order take out?

    Thank you for you inquiry. No, the restaurants do not permit orders for take out.

    Do you offer a kids menu?

    Their menus are online, its a fine dining Italian restaurant. Not really a place for kids.

    Can we bring our own wine? And if so, what is the corking fee?

    No you can't.

    Anniversary dinner tonight, what should I order?

    Happy Anniversary Emma! Thank you for choosing Don Vito's at the South Point to celebrate your special occasion. My favorite Italian dish is Chicken Parmesan and when I order it at Don Vito's I am never disappointed. It comes with a Caesar Salad…

We opted for the bread service as well and the bread was so garlicky and good! Every staff and our server was extremely friendly. The service was great! Parking seems like a bit of an issue. There is a small lot but I did see many people leaving the small lot to get to their car that was parked on the street. All in all, I love this place! I would definitely come back here again! I would highly recommend this place to everyone.

I called to book our table, and the hostess was very helpful in answering any lingering questions. The five of us (adults) arrived for our 6pm reservation and were seated right on time at a lovely table with starched linens. The wine list and specialty beverage list was given to us for review as we decompressed from the Las Vegas heat, and settled into the ambiance of the restaurant. Our server, Lauren, came by and once she ascertained that we are not wine drinkers, she explained the specialty cocktails and mocktails. As she spoke with each of us, she learned our names and continued to address each of us personally throughout service by name. After our drink orders were placed, we were given the dinner menu and the 4-course summer menu. Three of us opted for the 4-course summer menu (a wide variety of choices in each course), and two opted for a la carte dining. Each dish was carefully explained as we began to review the menu with Lauren, and all dietary restrictions were explained to ensure the dishes would be suitable. At no point did Lauren ever falter in describing the dishes and what flavor profiles we could expect. During our meal, Chef Mimmo visited our table and observed the front of the house in action. After the entrees had been cleared, and with plenty of time allowed for us to linger in the experience, the dessert menu was presented after dinner coffee orders were placed. Once again, Lauren went above and beyond to discuss flavor and components involved in each offering. The meal is paced for complete enjoyment; the table staff kept waters filled, napkins replaced, dinnerware exchanged based on the dish, and they moved seamlessly with Lauren during service. All in all, we ordered 21 dishes throughout the course of the dining experience. The highlights: Carpaccio di Manzo - was rolled with the freshest of herbs and richest of balsamics. Lobster Ravioli - packed with fresh lobster (no filler nonsense) and sauced perfectly; each ravioli was easily 2-3 bites per ravioli. OSSO BUCO - if you order nothing else, make sure you have the Osso Buco; absolutely melts in your mouth and yes, you get a marrow spoon with the bone to relish every morsel of the dish. Panna Cotta - it was so light on the tongue and a decadent, but not heavy, end to a delightful meal. We will most assuredly be back to try the Ricotta Cavatelli Ragu di Cinghiale, the Iberico Pluma, and the Coniglio Brasato! Please read the menu prices prior to dining. Their food is priced accordingly with the superb service you will receive.

Let's not even look at the meats - 100 for scaloppina.... Plenty more places where you can spend the same and enjoy good food. Let me be clear - the money is not an issue; the quality compared to the ask, is.
