Don Vito’s Italian

I read the reviews before we went here and several said stay away from the chicken. Wrong!
I live in Los Angeles and am surrounded by wonderful restaurants. Last Wednesday we ate at Don Vito’s. It wasn’t busy. Our waiter was Eric. It took a bit of time to get served but they gave us rolls with a garlic and tomato spread. My husband hates garlic so he didn’t touch it. I ate it. It was different but nothing that I would write home about. I ordered the chicken angelo for 26 dollars. I ordered a salad from the restaurant next door. It had champagne dressing that was just superb. Then we got our meals. Larry got a big piece of lasagna. He said it was very good. The chicken I had was fantastic. The pieces of chicken were cut thin, like a veal piccata and the sauce was like the veal dish. It was very light with artichokes. It also came with broccoli and a pasts side dish. For dessert I had a chef’s special, S’mores. It was unique and the presentation was different. Eric was very helpful the whole time. I have never been to such a fine Italian restaurant. As soon as we return to vegas Don Vitos will be the first place I go. The bill was about 69 dollars. When I go to Ruth Chris the bill is way more than that! I am very pleased to recommend this restaurant to anyone who loves Italian food.

I came here for the 1^st time. It was about 9pm, Tuesday night… place was nice and quiet.
I ordered the Lasagna and my friend the Chicken Parmasean.
My Lasagna was delicious and perfect portion. Ceasar salad was good and tasted fresh. My friend enjoyed his dinner as well.
Service was great, will definitely be back…

Came out to Vegas for my 21^st birthday & my last night there I decided to come to Don Vitos. Great customer service, very fancy restaurant lol and the food was great, I ordered the fettuccine Alfredo w/​Scallops w/​a Caesar salad which was delicious. Scallops were huge and very good. My boyfriend ordered the ravioli a la vodka w/​a tomato veggie soup and he liked that as well, the walnuts in the ravioli gave the dish a great flavor. Thanks to Jessica for being such a good waitress. Definitely will be coming back to this restaurant!

Solid average Italian place. My friend’s and me shared the Gnocchi, Artichokes, stuffed mushrooms, Tiramisu, Café Cheesecake, Berry and Crème Marsala mousse. What was great was the bread and garlic. My gnocchi was above average. Kinda weird texture but still flavorful. The mushrooms and artichoke appetizers were pretty blah. The mushrooms were almost rubbery. The tiramisu was absolutely amazing. So was the berry crème dessert. However, the café cheesecake was pretty bad. So, mixed bag of good, but nice for vegas.

The appetizers were not what we were hoping for, but than the Caesar salad had an odd taste. Dinner was shrimp Alfredo and the shrimp were rubbery and pasta tasteless! Extremely disappointed and will not be returning! At the end of service we made it clear we were unhappy (not eating the food and explaining our thoughts.) The server seemed uninterested to say the least.

We came to Don Vito’s for some quiet conversation with a buddy who I hadn’t seen in a long time.
Ambiance: Old-​school Italian restaurant. There are booths around the periphery, and tables for 4 to 6 in the middle. The tables are all set very elegantly with tablecloths. Our waiter and busboy each were in a sport coat and vest. Very classy.
Service: Our busboy came by almost immediately to fill our water glasses and bring a basket of bread products. Our server, Michelle, came by shortly thereafter to get a drink order and answer questions about the menu. She was very warm and welcoming with a nice sense of humor. Throughout the evening, both she and the busboy were very attentive. Five star service.
Food: I ordered the Rigatoni Vito. This was a large portion of rigatoni with a very generous portion of sausage, lots of sliced peppers with a delicious red sauce (it is supposed to have olives also — but I had them left out). My buddy had rigatoni and meatballs in a red sauce. He asked for a lot of modifications to the way it would normally come. The chef was accommodating — my buddy was very happy with the outcome. Both entrees were delish. And portion size was more than either of us could finish (lunch for tomorrow!) The entrée comes with choice of soup or salad. I chose the Caesar salad. Generous size dish for a dinner salad. Also delish.
Value: The entrees were only $ 20 each. A very fair price (even inexpensive) for the level of ambiance and service and the quality of the food. I will definitely come back again.

This restaurant is my second favorite Italian restaurant of all time, right after the Olive Garden! Their staff is A+ great and their spaghetti and meatballs is to die for! Eat here!!!

Had dinner at Don Vito last night. This was our third time there and it was just ok. We were seated in a booth near the kitchen and had a fishy smell wafting about. They serve some tasty bread and soup or salad with dinner. Both were good. I had lasagna and it was served hot and tasted pretty good. My wife had the eggplant parm which is raved about by the waitress and it was just ok. The atmosphere is comfortable and old school. The wait staff was attentive. I think we will be trying some of our other jaunts for Italian next time.

Dinner at Don Vito’s Italian Restaurant in the South Point is almost mandatory for us though we ventured away from our traditional eggplant Parmesan for the first time in several years. We received a basket of hot sundried tomato rolls plus their excellent roasted garlic/​tomato dipping sauce to start off while we reviewed the menu. Entrees include a side of penne (meh!) and a choice of soup or Caesar salad. We have never been impressed by their salad so we both opted for cups of Italian wedding soup.
For an entrée my wife ordered Chicken Angelo (sauteed with artichoke hearts, olives, and mushrooms in a white wine sauce). I followed up with Chicken Marsala (sauteed with mushrooms and garlic in a demi glaze and Marsala wine). Both plates included crisp green beans. For dessert Ann ordered zabaglione with fresh berries while her companion chose an espresso crème brulee. As good as my brulee was, and it was, the zabaglione was even better or so I am told since she only gave me one small spoonful.

It’s OK but not great. I’d say fair with an expensive price tag. Wouldn’t mind paying if food was really good. Husband had lobster tail, too much breading, skimpy amount of sauce, over cooked. I had Chilean sea bass. Way too much breading, under cooked skimpy sauce. We may come back to try the pasta cuz we frequently stay at Southpoint but was pretty disappointed this time. :(

The atmosphere and lighting is great in there. I recall eating there few years ago and loved it. It still didn’t disappoint me at all. I’m glad. The spaghetti and lasagna are delicious! The waiter went above and beyond by helping split the lasagna in two. I was impressed that he did that. Definitely will come there again every time I go to Vegas.

We have been to other restaurants but this was our first time trying this place in the South Point. We visited during Restaurant Week and had excellent service. Our waiter was great: polite, professional and friendly. The food was very good especially the strawberry bruschetta appetizer. Since we each had an entrée we also received a free bottle of their wine of the month, Masseria Cicella Primitivo. We will definitely return.

We visited Don Vito’s for dinner last week. It was our first time trying them and was also our third pick for Restaurant Week 2015. As we walked in we were immediately greeted by a young hostess and were seated in a lovely booth. The Restaurant Week menu was prominently displayed on all the tables. We were quickly given water and a bread basket with fresh rolls.
For $ 40.15 per person Don Vito’s 2015 dinner menu has a nice variety. You really can’t go wrong with any of their selections. Much to our surprise, we also received a free bottle of wine to go along with the purchase of two dinners.
The food was surprisingly good and the service was «old school». Jose «Alfredo» is one of the best waiters I’ve come across in a very long time. His service was respectful and friendly. He was very knowledgeable about the menu and the kitchen. We will be asking for him when we go back, and we WILL go back.

We rented a house in Las Vegas that was near this casino. After reading good reviews on this restaurant, we decided to try it out. The reviews great reviews could not be more spot on. This food was excellent! I cannot wait to come back. Our waiter was amazing! He was extremely friendly and made wonderful suggestions, including when it came to wine.
I had the shrimp scampi. It was absolutely amazing! That was the best shrimp scampi I have ever had, and I’ve eaten a very good amount of Italian food.
This place was so good, I went back the next day to compliment our waiter and the chef. I plan on eating here every time I return to Las Vegas. You won’t be disappointed!

This place was 5 star for service.
The appetizer was a lot! We had left overs. The sundries tomatoes on the bread was yummy too. I like the bruschetta they gave us with the bread
they had a rib eye steak was perfect cooked. The rigatoni with sausage was yummy yum with a little kick in the sauce. The lobster was just okay. We enjoyed the Cesar salad with anchovies.
See my photos. We had mango sorbet and dark Cheri ice cream.

I love this place. Every time I come here the food is excellent and the service is great. Perfect menu selections for an Italian night out.

I celebrated my daughter’s 21^st birthday here last night. It was a very nice dining experience. Gian was our waiter. He was friendly, knowledgeable & attentive. He made some great menu & wine suggestions which I appreciated very much because I’m not an Italian food connoisseur nor am I wine expert. but I am an expert at drinking it! Lol
We started witg fresh bread & a «bruschetta like tappenade» …Oh​.it was soooo good! I’ve never had anything quite like it. The bruschetta was sweet, surrounded by garlic cloves, full of flavor & slam dunked in a delicious flavored olive oil. I literally could have just eaten bread & sipped on pinot noir all evening & I would have been completely satisfied. speaking of pinot. I went with Ian’s suggestion. I got a bottle of La Crema… Very delicious! My daughter agreed. A little sweet & fruity… I could taste a hint of cherry & possibly blackberry. I would order it again… We also received a very yummy Caesar salad. I enjoyed it very much.
I ordered Angelo chicken per Gian’s suggestion. It was chicken breast with a white wine sauce with artichoke & mushroom. It was tasty but I wasn’t blown away. It also came with string beans. I felt a bit more effort could have been put in these. They were just steamed with no seasoning. A little salt, pepper, onions, & maybe a few other things would have made them more interesting. It was a good meal overall though.Oh.& penne pasta with marinara sauce was also served with my meal. I don’t really eat a lot of pasts but I tasted it & it was pretty good. My daughter ordered her favorite, spaghetti & meatballs. She loved it… I had a bite and I agree with her. very tasty! Homemade sauce for sure…
The finale was when Gian served me daughter a beautiful & delicious chocolate cake. He sent her off with some kind birthday wishes as well… I really appreciated it & so did my daughter. We devoured the cake! The chocolate shavings made it extra memorable as well as the presentation… it was served with class & the cake was put together well.
I did forget to mention that the restaurant itself is classy. The ambiance was very inviting. The restaurant is spacious & has dim lighting. I’m sure that a many of romantic dinners have been shared there. I’d definitely go back when I’m in the area. Don Vito s made my daughter’s birthday memorable in the best way possible. We won’t ever forget it. I thanked them for a job well done.

My boyfriend and I came here for dinner on a Friday night when we were staying at the South Point. We shared an appetizer, entrée and dessert.
We had the artichokes for appetizer and eggplant parmesan for an entrée. This was plenty of the food. The entrée came with a Caesar salad which was big enough for us to share.
We also had Tiramisu for dessert. From someone who could do with or without tiramisu it was amazing. The service was great and prices were reasonable.
Definitely will go back.

The food was delicious! Our server Ian and his assitant were so knowledgable and friendly. Even tho we normally stay by the strip this place is worth going out of the way for. I will definitely be making a pit stop here when i visit again. I recommend this place to my friends and family. Large portions and the $ 20 bottle of wine was such a great deal (:

Delicious meal from start to finish. The salad was fresh crisp and cold. The house bread has peppers on top of them and the olive oil dip with garlic and tomato is great. Good size and price for cocktails.
Main dishes are large portioned but I wouldnt split a plate because they charge $ 10 for two people to share 1 meal. $ 10 is cheaper than any meal on the menu but id rather be adventurous and get two plates and try both dishes. And you can always take your leftovers home. Amazing dishes as far as what I ordered. My husband enjoyed his as well.
(I had the chicken copa)
The cappuccino cheesecake is shareable size and served with fresh berries. Very elegant place. Yes its pricy 18 and up per plate but its an authentic italian restuarant. Its not olive garden.
To quote someone elses review, yes going to steak and shake would be cheaper to feed a whole family. But the two are NOT comparable. A burger joint vs italian fine dining. So just know what youre willing to pay so you arent suprised when the bill comes.
I would def come back again. Not to mention the service was fantastic.
