I visited on a Sunday at 5pm. The restaurant atmosphere was cosy and quiet. Would be excellent for a date. They had numerous specials on offer, we had the wild boar and the osso buco. Both were delicious and healthy portions. We also had calamari and lamb skewers for starters which were nice. The tiramisu was also great. I went with two friends in total spending ~£200 including 2 starters, 4 mains, 2 desserts, a bottle of wine and a 15% tip. The specials were more expensive ~£36 compared to the pizzas but worth the money. I highly recommend for a posh meal out that is not ridiculously priced.

We have been to Vito’s numerous times over the years and have always enjoyed the food, service and friendly family atmosphere. We knew it would be the perfect place to take visiting family during ‘Twixmas’. As a coeliac, I am always made to feel at ease and confident by Vito and his team’s knowledge of requirements and cross contamination measures and the menu is always well labelled. Our food and wine was excellent and Vito was the perfect host. A really lovely enjoyable evening.

We were a party of 8 adults. Excellent service to begin with, prompt to take our drink and food order. Unfortunately, one of the meals wasn’t correct and the ‘extra’ ingredient in the calzone ended up as a side dish. As the venue got busier, the service went downhill and we were waiting quite a while for our drinks.

Wonderful food, exemplary service and always a great atmosphere. My wife and I have been coming here for years. It’s our favourite spot for a romantic meal. You’re always made to feel really special. The food and wine is spot on every time. Vito is a great host as well, always happy to chat and talk about the menu and so on. Highly recommend!

We had a party of 10, including 4 children.
The food was exceptionally suited for everyone’s taste. Cooked to perfection.
Relaxed atmosphere. All the staff were extremely attentive and Vito himself is the perfect host. There were customers who were obviously regular visitors which speakes volumes.
Thank you Vito and your staff.

I’d been before and had been begging my husband to go back for a while, we had three delicious courses, the food was prepared and presented perfectly, full of flavour and clearly made with love! I think it’s now my husbands new favourite spot! ❤️

We came in 14 tonight, from the beginning to end we really enjoyed the atmosphere and service. Special mention to the quality and variety of the food. Also the wine list is well balanced, we had the primitivo and it was sublime. We will come back! Thank you Vito

Vito’s Italian had been on my ever-growing list of Restaurants to try for a while, so it was a welcomed nudge when Vito invited me to come and try what he describes as authentic Italian food. Being Italian himself, and heavily involved in all parts of the restaurant, the passion that Vito has for food really comes across in the dishes served here.
The restaurant had a warm, open feeling to it and the bar area feels a little rustic. Our waiter was very friendly and tentative which I love about proper Italian restaurants, the staff always want to make you feel welcome as soon as you walk in.
The specials board that evening included a lot of seafood so I didn’t choose from it this time but I do love seeing a specials board! The menu itself is vast so it took me a while to choose what I wanted, but it’s great to see that Vito’s offers the pasta dishes as a smaller portion for starters too.
For my starter, an unusual choice for me, but I decided to go with Scamozza Al Forno Con Funghi – Oven baked Scamozza cheese with mushrooms, garlic and parsley. A large portion of big, fresh mushrooms lightly cooked and baked in lots of a cheese, far from the soggy, horrible garlic mushrooms you sometimes get on a menu that just leave a sour taste. I don’t often go for mushrooms but I was really pleased with my choice and really enjoyed this starter – so much cheese!
Ben went with a starter portion of the Ravioli Aragosta – Lobster filled ravioli cooked with prawns and a touch of cream. Inside the ravioli was real, fresh, big chunks of lobster. The prawns looked big and juicy too and the dish was presented beautifully. I was tempted to be honest, but I stuck to my guns with choosing not to eat seafood (was the most difficult it’s been since I stopped eating it months ago!). However I am told this dish was perfect and delicious.
It was a tough decision on which Main dish to go for. Vito recommends the traditional Carbonara. BTW don’t offend him by going to his ITALIAN restaurant and asking for an English or practically made up version of Carbonara in a cream sauce or with chicken in it – that is not a Carbonara and not an authentic Italian dish. I couldn’t believe when he told me that he had previous customers asking for it this was and giving a bad review when he said that he did not serve Carbonara in such a way. However, that night the meal that caught my eye most on the menu was Strascinati Con Salsiccia Lucana (nope I couldn’t pronounce it either) – Strascinati (this word comes from the meaning to “pull” as you can see in the shape of the pasta) cooked with homemade sausage meat, tomato sauce, basil and chilli. (Typical pasta from Vito’s hometown). Wow – the dish looked amazing, tasted amazing and it was amazing that I actually ate the whole bowl-full, but I did Really good choice and right up my street in terms of taste and ingredients.
Ben went for a good old Calzone – Folded pizza filled with ham, mozzarella and tomato, made the traditional Italian way. The dough was perfectly folded and just thick enough that it was lovely and crispy on the outside and still soft on the inside. Fully packed with delicious ingredients, this Calzone did not disappoint, however it just beat him as he was so full. I tried it myself of course and agreed that it was really tasty.
As well as the food going down extremely well, I loved the house red wine too – a Primitivo from the Apulia region, a really smooth wine. I am definitely going to get me a bottle of this for the weekend!
2 alcoholic drinks, 2 starters, 2 mains and some olives to start came to just under £60 which we thought was very reasonable and was superb value for money for the quality of food that we received.
I think this restaurant would be somewhere great to go for a date or with the family for an occasion.

Sept 2024 update – oh my, what lovely dishes. Vitos seabass is amazing, yet to be bettered and his scallops with asparagus were superb. The cannoli were lovely with a cripy melt-in-the-mouth pastry. Highly recommended – thanks Vito for another great evening with classic Italian dishes.
An update from our recent visit. The foods are superb as ever. You’ll not find a better classic bruschetta and the calamari was the best we’ve ever tasted. The seafood linguini was lovely and the homemade sausage pizza was superb. Just left enough room for us to share the wonderful profiteroles 🙂
Update – This visit to our favourite Italian resturant we decided to go for the Chianina Tuscan T-Bone steak (Chianina Alla Fiorentina).
We’ve enjoyed Vitos steaks before but the T-Bone is really something else. Imported direct from Italy and has to be special-ordered at least 2 weeks in advance.
Vito marinated the steak with rosemary and garlic for 2 days and cooked it to a prefect medium rare. It was the size of a large dinner plate.
Carved by Vito himself and served with dressed lettuce and roast potatoes (what more do you need…).
The flavour was amazing, suculent and juicy, the best we’ve ever tasted and that’s compairing against the Chateaubriand at the best steak resturant in Manchester.
We even managed to share one portion of profiteroles afterwards.
Our thanks to Vito and his great staff for such an enjoyable and memorable evening.
Vito’s is open! This wonderful italian resturant has now reopened and we really enjoyed dining with Vito and all his great staff at the weekend.
The food is as superb as before, fresh and soooooo tasty.
We’ve already booked our next visit 🙂
Highly recommend the classic bruchetta and the sea bass – simple dishes, but amazingly tasty!

This is by far our favourite Italian restaurant that we have been visiting for many years. The owner, Vito, is a true gent and treats you like family with every visit. The food and wine is always spectacular and for those who like a tipple of whisky, well you’ll be in for a treat here, as Vito has some of the most tastiest whiskys for you to sample.
