Vittorio Ristorante & Pizzeria

My boyfriend and I stopped in on New Year’s Eve without a reservation. This unassuming family-​owned restaurant offers a reasonably priced variety. The staff was welcoming and accommodating. Our waiter was knowledgeable about the menu, and suggested the tastiest options + wine pairings for us. I devoured the Chicken Livones. My boyfriend ordered the Capellacci Pomodoro. Both dishes blew us away. It was the best Italian food I’ve had in a long time. The portions are size-​able, rich and delicious, so come hungry. I wasn’t able to touch the salad I ordered, and our waiter didn’t even charge us for it. I’ll continue to recommend this gem for excellent Italian, comfort food!

Always my first stop when coming back into town to visit my family and friends. There is never a shortage of their well known and amazing Garlic Knots. Their lobster ravioli is a must try along with their many other dishes. Don’t forget to try their pizzas! Dine in or call for delivery, it’s always amazing.

Vittorio’s has hands down the best pizza on the Westside! I used to live in walking distance but now I will go out of my way to get pizza from here because like I said it’s the best! I don’t know what the deal is with all the bad reviews this is a family owned Italian Resturant and the food is AMAZING. We’ve also had the raviolis, garlic knots & salads and they’re all super awesome and prices are very reasonable. Will be back and will recommend to everyone I know!

Best italian food i’ve had in ages, BEST! From start to finish. Tiramisu to die for. Perfect hearty burrata salad, homemade parpadelle w shrimp=yuuum, some cannelloni type dish stuffedw chicken in a mushroom sauce. almost licked the plate. They started meal w lil garlic knott bread too. nom
Nom nom.

Great food and garlic rolls! Been going there for 30 years. Great for a family or casual meal. Wine prices are reasonable and all food is great for take out. The family that owns it is wonderful.

Went in hungry as all h. Heard this was a great place but we literally got no service. We left after 25 minutes because no one helped us. But try their water it’s good.

Solid family restaurant. When I’m in carb loading mood, definitely worth the speed dial. Garlic Rolls are damn delicious, just don’t eat too many… You might turn into those;)

Great neighborhood Italian — they have all the basics, everything is good and very fast service. It’s not fine dining and does not pretend to be. But in the time it usually takes to get menus, I had ordered and gotten my drinks.

Neighborhood Italian place.
I had frequented this place from 1982 – 88 and it hasn’t changed much; although it has gotten larger. You can bring your own wine.
Menu is standard fare of pizzas and pastas, and there is a nice variety of salads. There are some meat, fish plates as well. You can have them make whatever you like; they will sub out the pasta for vegetables if you are trying to reduce the carbs.
Garlic (bread) knots are very good. Try the sauteed spinach too.
Will return again when in the area.

Love this place! Walking distance from home and great salads, pasta and pizza. Try the puttanesca sauce and chopped salad.

Good eats. My spot after I get my nails done. Good salads, Italian food/​sandwhiches. The girl in the front is a bit clueless… But…

This place is my families absolute favorite restaurant in the whole world. We (the Brockmans) have been blessed to have Vittorio’s down the street from our house for 30 years! Mercedes is the sweetest lady ever and we love their amazing food like none other!

I work nearby and the options for grabbing lunch are pretty slim. I’ve had a slice of cheese pizza ($ 3.50 w/​a coke) and for California, its not terrible. What is terrible is the styrofoam containers that are used for take out. I always ask for a paper plate.
Today, I got the meatball sub and @ $ 10.50 it is way overpriced for what you get. Everyone knows a meatball sub should have fat juicy meatballs, not small bready «meat» balls. The bread that the sammich comes on is delicious and would have held up pretty well if it wasn’t over sauced. Lots of cheese which is always nice, but doesn’t make up for the lack of real meatballs. It came with a side salad, drowned in dressing, mostly iceberg lettuce with a few leaves of romaine… who serves iceberg lettuce anymore? Even fast food chains use better lettuce.
All in all… I’ll be back for the lunch pizza deal… everything else is too expensive for what you get.

I write this as I am sitting in the restaurant because I am having a very underwhelming and disappointing experience. Although its quite busy for Valentine’s which may be why the food is subpar. I ordered the papadelle which was one of their specials and my husband ordered the other special, the grilled calamari. My pasta
Was DRY. The shrimp was tough and had that fish smell, a little more than it should have. My husband’s calamari was good except for the pieces that were not grilled but charred. The taste of those really ruined what could have been a really great dish. My 5 year old had the spaguetti and meatballs and I hate to say that was the best dish.
I will say that the chocolate mousse was pretty good but other than that, I wouldn’t bother with anything else. I have had the pizza from here before and thought it was excellent so maybe I will stick to that next time.
The most hurtful part was that my awful dish cost 25 bucks! Shameful!

Growing up in the Palisades, Vittorio’s has always been my family’s absolute favorite, go-​to Italian restaurant. So much so that I had my rehearsal dinner here! They did an incredible job… I got more compliments on the food, service, and atmosphere and will always be so grateful to them! I highly recommend this restaurant not only as a evening date night but for fun events like rehearsal dinners, too!
P. S. garlic balls are incredible!

Incredible Italian food. Try the mozzarella marinara and the chicken Marsala. It’s cute and usually never too busy. Best part of it all is that it is byob and there is no corking fee. There’s even a liquor store next door! Good for a date or to take a friend from out of town.

Been going here for around 10 years. Best Garlic knots ever! I always get the chicken parmesan as well as mozzarella marinara. Their marinara sauce is excellent! They also have very good chicken picatta. Enjoy!

Best pizza around! My son even loves this place the Garlic Knots are our Favorite!!!

There are a few times in life when a meal is so expertly crafted and planned that it is nothing short of genius. Every experience I’ve had at vittorios has left me saying «wow».
This place is perfect for a romantic date or even a family meal. You really can’t go wrong here. Vittorios welcomes you with a smile and by the end of the night you are part of the family.

3.5
The pizza was pretty good and the garlic knots were outstanding. Get a side of marinara to dip them in. Service was terrible. This review would be a 3 if it wasn’t for the fact that my grandma loves it so much and would most likely die if they went out of business. Seriously work on that service though. We were ignored during all parts of the meal. Solely a locals spot.
