Having the experience of dining at several high end steak houses around the world, one appreciates the little things that stands out and distinguishes one house from another. At Vito's (not our first choice, but was able to accommodate us on short notice), the progression of the meal was as spectacular in the end as it was from the off. Starting with the cocktails (the Rose lemon drop and the grand Hawaiian Cosmo) were two of the best aperitifs that I have had in recent memory. We chose as our appetizers, the Colossal U-8 Shrimp Cocktail and the Baked Clams. While an argument can be made that our definitions of "colossal" are not aligned, I must admit that the first bite of the shrimp provided a umptious and complete taste that stood alone from the aioli with which it allay. For our entree, we chose the bone in dry aged ribeye and the Maine lobster & shrimp pasta. Again, I've experienced steakhouses far and wide ( including the best steakhouse in Chicago, NYC, Denver), it's not too challenging to perfect a prime cut of steak. What is challenging is perfecting the balance of seasoning with the other contorni (in this case, sauteed mushrooms). Vito's did it right! It's at this point that I have to retreat to my Southern dialect and say "Good Lawd, they put a hurtin' in my soul!" And just as we settled in to give it a 4.5 rating, dessert was presented: The Butter Cake & the Almond Creme Cake (more akin to a tiramisu and deconstructed triffle)! Both served with fresh whipped creme, the former with a dollup of ice cream. As those who know me, can attest to my discerning palate and love for all things sweet, trust me when I say that the Butter Cake is as grandma and her momma would make -- together. Finally, with an attentive and informative staff (Kylie, you are awesome), I am compelled to give Vito's a rating of 4.9/5. read more

We are here from Maine. Vito's was recommended by our resort staff. The food was excellent! I had a Waygu filet which melted in my mouth. The restaurant has pasta, fish, seafood, steaks. The baby stuffed clams were amazing. The waitress gave us a tour of the menu showing us the cuts of meat. The chop house was high end restaurant with beautiful ambience. read more

Amazing meal and service! Our server was Tae and he was next level!! Took care of all our needs and had an awesome personality. There was a good group of us and we wanted for nothing. I was a bit worried since it is in the tourist area of Orlando. I was so wrong. Food was just delicious. Steaks were amazing. First time having a Chateaubriand cut of beef. My mind was blown!! I want to focus on the service on more time. Just first rate. I was at Charley's a couple weeks back and they could learn something from Tae!! Also the managers were great too! We had requested a few unique dessert request. Balsamic vinegar on Vanilla ice cream. Believe it or not but it is good. Very accommodating. read more

I was craving a steak and Vito's satisfied the craving. I ordered the New York Strip with a side of crispy Brussel sprouts. The steak was cooked perfectly and it was one the best steaks I have had in a long time at a restaurant. It's a little pricey but well worth it. Service was excellent especially at the bar. read more

Hands down what an amazing evening spent at Vito's! From the moment we walked in and were seated to the excellent presentation, explanation and service provided by our waiter this evening Angelo. 10/10 the food was delicious! Our dinner experience was top notch! What we ordered: Lobster Bisque-8/10 delicious, creamy and comforting! Tomahawk Steak for 2- 10/10The presentation of this dish alone deserve an entire review on its own! Amazing! Amazing! Amazinggg! Delicious, perfectly seasoned, Truffled Fries- 10/10 WOW these are not your average regular sized cut fries these babies were super sized potato wedges! Delicious definitely order them if you enjoy fries/potato wedges. Brussels Sprouts- 7/10 had a nice flavor to them and cooked well. BUT ... the star of this evenings meal by a long shot was definitely the Crème Brûlée! 10/10 What a presentation! Drizzled lightly with some rum on top prepared table side and delicately torched to create that perfect beautiful caramel crispy top. Perfect texture and creaminess. The flavor was right on and the berries served on the side gave it that perfect touch to compliment this dessert. Our dinner experience was amazing thanks to our wonderful waiter Angelo. He was so polite, kind and charismatic. He served us so well and explained everything with such detail. We left so pleased that we will definitely be coming back. The decor of the restaurant was perfect. I can appreciate an older restaurant that maintains its beauty with brick walls and dark wooden accents a touch of Frank Sinatra playing in the background and honestly could this have been any better? Nope! It was an all around wonderful evening fSuper nostalgic vibes all the way. If you dine here - request Angelo as your waiter- he is awesome! Tell them I sent you! Thank me later. read more

Good vibe . Low key . The tomahawk was great . For local or visitor . Large menu , but it's a steakhouse . Do steak .

This restaurant is in a great location. The filet mignon was by far my favorite with the mashed potatoes. Very delicious. Service was great, we didn't wait to long to sit down. Which I thought we would since it is on international but nope it was better than expected. We will definitely come back! read more

My husband and I were celebrating our birthdays, and this place has been recommended to us. When you step inside, you feel like you're in old world, Italy. Very cool vibe. Kind of feels like where the mobsters would've had dinner to discuss "business! " Lol We had reservations, so we were seated quickly. Drinks were absolutely on point, and a very generous poor to go along with it. We decided to step out of our box and try the stone crab as an appetizer. We got five claws and they were delicious!! Very pricey too. We also had the house salad which was probably the best "Caesar salad dressing" I have ever tasted. REALLY!! Onto the main courses and sides... I had the Halibut. Very moist and very tasty. Unfortunately though, my husband had the fillet, on the bone. Not a good choice. The salt factor made it impossible to eat. He actually had to send it back, and he doesn't send back anything. It came out perfectly salted the second time around although very chewy and tough. Super surprising for a $$$$$ filet. Normally they can be cut with a fork or butter knife. Not so for this one. For the sides, we chose sautéed mushrooms, and some cheddar mashed potatoes. Those were both tasty! Key, lime, pie, cafe, and ice cream rounded out our evening. Our waitress, Rachel, was pretty darn amazing! That is definitely why this place received four stars. I doubt we will be back. There are so many other places, that have been recommended to us, that probably would be a lot better at a much better price point. I don't believe the price point matched up to the quality of the food. If I'm going to spend $500 for a dinner, it's got to knock me out of the restaurant!!! read more

Great steaks, appetizers, salads and service. Our group had a porterhouse, a strip steak aged, and a chateaux Bryant steak. They were all fantastic. The hot fresh garlic bread are tasty. Salads are tasty and generous. We shared a Parmesan Alfredo pasta recipe with homemade pasta mixed in a hot cheese wheel at your table. The sides were ok but not great, why get potato casserole at a fancy restaurant. We tried the tiramisu which was ok. The steaks were the highlight and the service. Figure about $100 per person all in. Melanie our server was great. A real star. Great ambiance all around. Highly recommended. read more

Came here for a nice date night dinner with an intimate type of ambiance. Had reservations, and this place started off with good service. For an appetizer we ordered the flat mozzarella sticks with additional cheese melted on top surrounded by homemade marinara sauce made my taste buds jump for joy but made my stomach . For entrees we had the Chicken Marsala w/ homemade mashed potatoes which had good flavor but I think having it with pasta would be better. Also, had a bone in dry aged NY Strip steak cooked medium well, It was . Steak had a nice thick cut, moist but had somewhat of a bland flavor to me. However, next time around I wouldn't mind trying something different on the menu. Overall had a good dinner and service. read more

If you're looking for the old Vito's experience, prepare yourself for a let down. Used to frequent this place often, but it's been a few years. They closed for covid, maybe that is when they fell off the path. The staff is still pleasant and attentive, much like in any big steakhouse. Our server was great. I do wish the upcharge for the suggested caesar salad was made clear to me. That tacked on an additional $22 for a salad that was quite forgetful. I guess buyer beware. We started out with the calamari, which was soggy and lacked taste. Our side was the truffle fries. Intense truffle flavor, but presentation and texture is a mess. Had one fry. The rest went home for use in omelets. My fiancée had the bone in filet, which was REALLY good and the best thing we ordered. I had the aged ribeye. It was OK, but not the quality I expected from my past Vito's trips. Their steaks used to have a unique flavor from being cooked over citrus wood. Seems they still use the citrus wood, but have a new grill, and something is severely lost in translation. The BIGGEST let down was dessert. The old Vito's had previously commissioned a baker to make a custom Grand Marnier infused chocolate layer cake. A slice was the size of your head, not that you saved much room for dessert at the old Vito's anyway. But this cake, it was simply amazing. At the new Vito's, it's been replaced with a run of the mill chocolate cake. On the way out I asked the maitre d about it. Seems most of the people working here were pretty new. She did flag down someone who's been there for 20+ years. I said "I have a question, about 6 years ago I ate here..." and before I could finish he said " Yes, the cake has changed". Guess they get that a lot. I talked this place up to my fiancée for so long, I was kind of embarrassed to send anything back. Hopefully they will get back on track, because this place used to be a top notch steak house. read more

My husband and I dined at Vito's on a Tuesday night while we were in town for a convention as a treat to ourselves. BEST decision!! We arrived at the restaurant early and had a drink by JC at the bar. I always like to drink things I can't make myself at home. JC recommended their watermelon cocktail and it did NOT disappoint. Word to the wise, it will look like you're double fisting but order it anyway. When we got to our table our server (I think her name started with an F) was kind enough to have the sommelier come by, we ordered a bottle of Italian Barolo wine to go with salad, lobster bisque, our aged rib eye steak and the truffle fettuccini. Our server was spectacular, the food was delicious, we spent four hours at dinner and it was divine. The butter cake was amazing as well, a night to remember! read more

We JUST left this restaurant and I'm upset I even have to write this review. My husband booked this restaurant for my birthday to celebrate. I was super excited because I love Italian food and this place had raving reviews. Upon entry, the manager sat us and told us we had the BEST waitress in the building, Wanda. We were excited because the menu, and ambiance around us looked wonderful. The moment she came to our table, the vibes were off with her. We had never been here before, but any questions we had regarding the menu seemed to irritate her. We ordered our meals, which came with salads. She asked if we wanted house or Caesar, in which we had one of each. There was no mention that portion sizes are shareable here. I would have appreciated some sort of customer service or friendliness or attentiveness at mentioning we could share a protein and a side. When the food came, the portions were so large and overwhelming.The food was okay. It wasn't out of this world amazing, but tasty. We obviously couldn't finish it all, so we boxed it up to go. She did bring a dessert at the end of the meal to celebrate my birthday, which was a scoop of vanilla ice cream. We very much appreciate that and thought it was a nice touch. When our bill came, she charged us $18 for the Caesar salad that we thought came with our meal. When we received our check we brought it to her attention that we thought the salad was included with our entree, her response was "sorry" with not a care. That's something she should have mentioned when ordering because we definitely would not have ordered a full priced salad if a house salad is already included. We felt as if though we were nuisance because of how cold and dry she was with us compared to how bubbly and friendly she was with other patrons at the surrounding tables. I personally was hoping for the best and was looking for a go to steakhouse but this seems to be my first and my last visit to Vito's. read more

While visiting Orlando, the night we arrived here was pouring rain. Restaurants near our hotel were packed, and this was the only place with available seats. So, we walked in with drenched raincoats and a hungry preschooler - probably not their typical guests! The service was exceptional, providing us with a detailed description of all the meats. It would have been a great experience if we hadn't come with a drenched, hungry kid. Despite that, we enjoyed the food, though it was pricey. read more

Love this restaurant and the experience they offer. From Sebastian the valet to Stephanie our server. We had the pleasure of being Stephanie's first table ever and she was fabulous. One of the best locations in Orlando. read more

We recently had a memorable business event at Vito's. It was a raging success, from the beautiful design of the restaurant to the impeccable service to the delicious meals. We started with seafood towers, and these were just a lot of fun. We were sitting with people from across the country and some of the dishes were new to them. One had never tried oysters! We got her set up with a good one and showed her how she could garnish it. After slurping it down, she decided she "just might have to try a second." And she did! There are a lot of seafood and poultry options for dinner, as well as some fabulous pasta dishes as Vito's has an Italian flair. But I came for beef. I had the bone-in ribeye. It was cooked perfectly and simply full of flavor. Very tender, juicy and just delicious. And the pancheta and cheddar mashed potatoes are yummy! We enjoyed a tiramisu and a crème brûlée for dessert. Prices are high but you pay for quality and experience. I didn't think they were unfair, and I didn't complain. read more

Food and service are great. Portions are beyond huge. We could have ordered 1/2 order and two plates which would have been more than enough. "Background" music was obnoxiously loud, enough so to interfere with quiet conversation across the table. Food was good but blaring Vegas-style show tunes were just too much. We will not be going back. read more

Great food and excellent service provided by DJ. It was a very nice dining experience. We will return on our next visit to Orlando.

Absolutely delightful, fairly authentic Italian cuisine with a chic rustic ambiance and STELLAR service! Our server, Gregory was warm, down-to-earth, and still supremely professional. His guidance didn't feel like "upselling", but rather like he was leading us through our meal choices to elevate our personal experiences of the menu offerings. The food was phenomenal! Portobello fondue was a delicious and decadent appetizer, rich and unctious New York strip steak was prepared to perfection with a refined selection of sauces and herbed butter. My better half raved about the steak proclaiming it "the best I've ever had in an Italian restaurant!" The Truffled Radiatore Alfredo, prepared tableside, was incredible, buttery, rich, unctious, and perfectly al dente. Broccolini made a nice side dish and we appreciated our server's recommendations as well as guiding us to this side dish "for the table" as the portion was more than enough for two of us. We were both impressed with everything we had as well as the dishes we saw served around us. It's especially nice when a specialty restaurant, in this case a steakhouse, has options for those who might not gravitate to the "specialty" and puts the same care and excellence into their entire menu...that was definitely what we found at Vito's! This was truly an all around superb evening of dining and I cannot recommend Vito's Chop House highly enough! read more

We were here on a business trip and our business partner booked this steakhouse for dinner. The service and decor brought back fond memories of classic steakhouses. Our hostess was courteous. The bartenders were knowledgeable and made us some awesome cocktails plus great smiles. I loved the days when they showed you the cuts and let you choose your steak. Vito's had that. The steak was perfectly seared. The house red by the glass was equally excellent. I should have asked for the name. Would love to return for a second time when we visit Orlando again. read more

Food was amazing and restaurant is a total vibe. Came here for my boyfriend's 26th birthday and he believes he had the best steak of his life here. Lobster bisque was also divine. Huge portions. Didn't know the happy hour was only at the bar and not the dining room so that was a bummer but overall 10/10. Would honestly come back to Orlando just to eat here again. Our server was Cali and she was also really sweet, attentive and helpful with helping us pick our entrees. read more

Vito's is by far our favorite steakhouse in Orlando. Manager Ibi and Waiter Kenn make the experience unforgettable. We started with the calamari which was amazing. Immediately following, they wheeled out the giant Parmesan cheese wheel and made our fettuccini Alfredo table side. That was followed by some sample size Lobster Bisque and the chopped salad. Finally we got to the main course: 20oz chateabriand which is also finished table side. The steak was cooked to perfection, and the mashed potatoes and Brussels sprouts really completed the main course. Finally, we finished dinner stuffed to the max on the amaretto cake and butter cake, both of which will blow your mind. If you haven't been to Vito's, you are truly missing out. Ask for Kenn to take care of you and have the meal of your life read more

Everything about this place is amazing. The food is wonderful and the staff is the best thing about the place. The crab was out of season and my 5 and 3 year old were sad about it so the manager went out to get us crab. You don't get that type of service anymore. The salmon is the best we have ever had and it is always incredible. Highly recommend. We go almost weekly now. read more

This restaurant never disappoints. From the minute you enter you are greeted by a very friendly hostess and a knowledgeable server. The beef carpaccio was amazing.

Don't pay the extra for the Wagyu!!! Yes, the cook cast iron and service table side. But it's cast iron, which gets crazy hot! Then they served up my dish last, meaning my Wagyu steak sat in the hot pan for longer!! Medium rare was ruined. When they finally served, it had a nice crust, cut in, looked okay... but it kept cooking and since the filet was cut in a way that it was thinner, it never stood a chance. That crust, became too much to eat, and ruined all flavor. Cast iron/table-side equals epic fail!! read more
