Vito's is a superb gem here on the square. It may just be a soup/sandwich/cafe place but it does the job excellently. Clean roomy interior, decorated with beautiful local art. Exactly the place to have lunch with friends or just drink coffee while surfing their free internet. Also, the internet tested the fastest in Watertown so far, with download speeds over 5mbps. read more

First time here. I was looking to get a coffee after a morning walk along the river. I was pleasantly surprised with Vito's. They serve a breakfast sandwich and many lunch items. I will definitely be back. Oh, and the coffee was good too. There are 3 choices of coffee in airpots plus choices of many craft coffee drinks like lattes and such. read more

I love getting soups, salads and an occasional sandwich here. Most of the staff know me by name and everyone is always warm and welcoming :) Great place to grab a coffee, sit down and relax for a while. Their prices are reasonable and their hours have recently expanded so you can get an early dinner! They stop serving breakfast at 10 AM so hurry if you want to get a good deal on a breakfast sandwich and coffee. read more

When i came in i felt it was a bit overly complex to order, and had to ask the cashier. I thought the side salid was overpriced, but the sandwiches were on par. with typical gourmet sandwich/cafe shops. There was also this really annoying fly buzzing around, but i don't hold it against the restaurant. The Venus de Milo( hummus sandwich) was very good, I like the pickles outside the paper, as well as the wide walled serving trays. the art/decco is very appealing, and the tone is nice , however a few of the florescent light bulbs could need to be replaced( the one above the salad cooler has a fast dim flicker) overall 3 1/2 stars read more

Great for quick lunch! Varieties of sandwiches, wraps, and sweets. Visited on a Wednesday around 1130 and it wasn't too crowded. However, I heard lines can get pretty long during peak lunch hours. read more

I'm kind of obsessed with this place. I think I've tried almost every single sandwich & wrap they have to offer- and have never been disappointed. Ever. Their buffalo chicken chowder is STUPID good. ;) Love all of their unique coffee drinks as well. One of my favorite lunch spots in Watertown for sure. Just wish they were open weekends! read more

Great potato soup, very creamy. Tried several sandwiches and they were all great except the bbq chicken. Sauce was too sweet, almost ketchup like. read more

Outstanding sandwiches we had the Mona Lisa and will be coming back often. Added a chocolate chunk cookie and had a half tea and lemonade xl drink was amazing 5 stars easy read more

My absolute favorite stop in Watertown. Used to stop here a few times a wheel, but now I always make a trip when I head through town. Huge sandwiches, plenty more than I need at a Siri g (but I would always house it anyway). All the ingredients tasted fresh and the meat had a very natural flavor. Probably some of the best cut chicken I've ever had from a restaurant. Awesome cookies and awesome wraps too. Try that Mona Lisa. My god. That pesto mayo! Always treated like a regular, or like a friend. The only problem I've ever had were some of the snobby clientele, but you'll have that when you go anywhere that serves quality food. Awesome place. Owner is an awesome guy too. read more

Love this place. The food is always great and fresh. Its my wifes birthday today and I asked her what she wanted for lunch and she wanted this. read more

This bistro is worth the wait. From the courteous staff to the delicious sandwiches. I walked in and they were slammin' and jammin'. The little Italy was a tantalizing tastebud treat. Roast Beef on rye with coleslaw and thousand islands dressing. Delightful. I will surely be back. read more

Super delicious! This is my favorite sandwich place. It is low key, has that "organic" vibe and just seems like a cool place to be. I'm only giving four stars because once my husband and I were coming home from the E.R, after an accident- the only thing we wanted was a quick tasty lunch to somehow brighten our day. We didn't check the order and once we have arrived at home, we noticed that my part of the order was completely missing, although it was paid for in full. read more

Good and fresh food every time that I've eaten there. Their chili is to die for. The Sophia Loren is my go to sandwich. Worth every penny! They make super good sandwiches! read more

Finally, a top notch place to grab lunch on the Square! Vito's brings fresh, original food to downtown Watertown. This colorful and inviting restaurant is the perfect stop for a quick delicious bite to eat. On top of a wide selection of fresh made soups and sandwiches, Vito's offers a coffee bar that blows any of the local java chains out of the water. I'm really looking forward to making this place a regular stop. read more

sandwiches are generous and delicious, very creative menu. The place is clean and the employees are quite rude!!! it is a little bizarre to order and then go to another counter and pay but it's fine. I came at around 930 the fresh juices weren't displayed yet nor was the soup, I wanted soup. read more

We were sorely disappointed after our lunch outing to Vito's. The ingredients were fresh, but very basic, for the high lunch cost. Our sandwiches had a mayo based pesto sauce which was good, but slathered on like half the bottle had been used! Both our stomachs felt nauseous the entire afternoon. Too much goopy sauce! We will not be returning. read more

Stopped for a quick lunch while in Watertown on business and was so pleased to find this gem. Ate a half sandwich and soup and both were incredibly flavorful and reasonably priced. The turkey meat tasted so fresh. Would definitely come back if I was in the area. read more

Located in the heart of downtown, Vito's a staple to the Watertown community. The staff are extremely friendly and treat everyone like regulars. Not only that but the atmosphere, service, and quality is better than you'll expect at any coffee chain. read more

Everything is so good and so fresh! I definitely love this place. The staff is so friendly and the place is amazingly clean. Great lunch spot or morning coffee spot. I ordered a simple hot cocoa and sugar cookie iust to start my day off right today and I was just blown away by how great the service, food and atmosphere are. Definitely my new favorite. read more

Vito's has the best soup and sandwiches in the north country by far. Also- the portions are very generous. You won't leave hungry!

The food was okay, but for the price eh not really they dont offer anything as a meal such as fries or chips. The gentleman in the back was very monotone and short with answers. He didnt seem to really care about pleasing a customer especially a first time guest. I thought it would be a lot different reading the reviews but I was wrong. Wont be going back. read more

A nice alternative to Panera Bread. The ingredients are fresh and the menu is full of interesting sandwiches, plus soups and salads. I also found the atmosphere to be very lively and cheerful. I just wish they were open on the weekends. read more

Vito's really is the epitome of gourmet sandwich shop. The sandwiches scrumptious and generous (by that I mean ginormous lol), the soup delicious, and the atmosphere elegant if not a little snobby. If you want a fresh alternative to subway or jrecks it's definitely the place to go. It's location next to the paddock club and on the square also make it a great place to go for visitors who want a feel for Watertown. read more

Place is top notch. I loved the sandwiches here. They are very delicious and the place is amazing. I came here today for a small birthday get together, the people who worked here were very nice, the prices were reasonable. I really liked coming here for lunch and would show a second time. read more

Cute, clean & quick! Simple but delicious breakfast. We were traveling through & missed the exit for Starbucks & found this little gem. Will stop here every time we pass through Watertown. read more

Delicious homemade soups, salads & sandwiches. Only complaint is that they are only open during lunch hours.

Quickly becoming a Watertown favorite of mine. Protein smoothies are great and the environment is very low-key. The latte selection is large and my cappuccino was perfect. Always great music playing and friendly staff. read more

About a year ago I stopped by this place and got a pastrami sandwich special they had going. Pastrami, coleslaw on some weird bread. On paper it seemed legit, but after sitting down and biting into it, I soon realized that the money I spent on this sandwich was money wasted. Like many establishments in the area, they claim to provide quality food worth the money. This in-fact isn't true. If you are from southern tier of this state from any of the five boroughs, lower your expectations, because if don't your only going to set yourself up for failure. The sandwiches here are nowhere near to what you get in the city, they don't use quality products, they're definition of bread falls well short of the Brooklyn Italian bakeries and their techniques are amateur at best. Topps has a decent loaf of bread and Wal-Mart sells DeLusio cold cuts, with a little sandwich spread you get s better sandwich for a fraction of the price that taste s lot better than what Vito sells you. They are NOT worth your time or money! read more

Quaint little lunch place with generously sized wraps. Cool downtown atmosphere and nice coffee drinks. Great homemade lemonade and giant cookies! Perfect for a small lunch group or date or to go. Just wish they were open for evenings, too! read more

Best spot to grab a bite to eat downtown! Delicious wraps, healthy salads, and lattes that give Starbucks a run for their money!

We visited during lunch hour so there wasn't any place to sit but our short wait for the sandwiches were worth it! The staff is friendly, the business is clean and the food is so delicious. This place stacks more meat than subway! My husband tried the soup and he enjoyed it. We will be back and I want to try the coffee! read more

Love this spot. The best sandwiches and wraps. Gourmet coffee. Cute, friendly, relaxed atmosphere. Only hate that it's closed on the weekends! If it wasn't, my husband and I would be there every Saturday for lunch. read more

I dropped in with my husband and mother-in-law to grab a bite to go. This place was hopping around noon when all the workers were off on their lunch break. We ordered the Tony Soprano, the Goddess, and a half order of a chicken salad sandwich. The prices were cheaper than I thought, and we were given a generous amount of food. We had a little wait, but it was to be expected with the amount of people there. Great service and delicious food. I would definitely come by again! read more

This place is great!!! I've been hooked for two years now. The place is clean along with great food options and the staff is very attentive and caring. Sandwiches , wraps , soups , deserts what more can you ask for. Cookies and muffins made fresh everyday. The soup is made fresh each day and it will go quickly. That's what happens to good food. You want quantity? Go to subway or Jrecks. You want a quality homemade meal ? Go to Vito's. read more

Just drop in and you won't regret it. I have tried two sandwiches so far and they are pretty much best in this area.

I wish I could rate the sandwiches separate from the coffee. I've been in here a few times and had the Venus de Milo sandwich (Hummus and Veggies) and it was excellent! However Everytime I've gotten coffee from them I have not cared for it. They use Paul de Lima coffee which I would categorize as 'gas station' coffee as it comes preground and premeasured in little pouches that you just open and dump into your coffee maker! It just tastes stale and NOT GOOD!!! I really want to support local business but Their coffee is just really bad, especially when they charge the same amount as other shops that use organic/locally roasted/ freshly ground coffee (like the Tarot Cafe in the Franklin Building). I find the staff very friendly and accomodating and would recommend the sandwiches (4 stars), but if you like coffee...buy a bottled drink and skip the cafe! read more

I work very close to Vito's and go there often, the service has been wonderful every time and the food is delicious! Fresh ingredients, no processed crap, great ambiance. Vito's offers culture and variety to Watertown and I hope that they stay open for many, many years to come. read more
