Delicious food, family feel ambiance. Great service. Live piano with all the conversations going on makes you feel like you’re having dinner with family. It’s a must if you’re in Seattle
Probably one of the best Italian restaurants I have been to in a long time. Live jazz, neighborhood vibes, and a local feel contribute to the warm atmosphere. The cocktails are excellent and the food is superb. The homemade pomodoro sauce makes any "red sauce" dish like the chicken parm here nothing short of spectacular. The orange zest in the canoli is different but complemented really well with their old fashioned. This place is a must! 🍝🥃
Not very busy on a Sunday night, definitely didn't need a reservation anyway and no problem parking nearby on the street. Yes, this place is dark but it wasn't too loud, as we'd read in another review. Live music, ambience, and dim lighting were romantic. Food was excellent and pricing was pretty on point for what we got, not too bad at all, perfect for a date night. Not the most upscale place lights on, I'm sure it probably feels more like a dive but overall, the style, feel, and food make it a gem. Recommended.
They had live music making the ambience in the place great. I had never tried absinthe until I came here, it tasted kind of like tequila's distant cousin.
The pasta was average, not great and not bad. The shrimp they had in it was fantastic though.
My favorite part of dinner was their tiramisu, by far the best I have ever had (very generous portion size as well).
Oh Vito’s you keep doing it, and you have since the 50’s! This unassuming place delivers on a low lit casual or romantic night out. Decent drinks reasonably priced, lovely and attentive service. Plus, live music to enjoy only enhance the overall experience. It is a classic Seattle lounge. The back room is worth checking out if you have a large group.

Craving for some Italian food, recommended & guided by google, we ended up here for dinner.
A classic but classy place, dark, warm & cosy, with friendly service.
After ordering our round of drinks, I ordered for the vegetarian soup of the day after finding out that it was tomato bisque. The soup was more thick, chunky, & a little more sour than I would have loved, but absolutely savoured it just as it is or preferred over a portion of spaghetti.
For mains, I choose for a half portion Mushroom Linguine Pasta, bang on flavours, perfectly cooked pasta, I couldn’t have asked for anything more on a rainy night.
My friends loved their Chicken Parmigiana & Lasagne, & I was missing my favourites, since am a vegetarian this day.
Though we were full, I asked to see the dessert menu, & repeated seeing it. I was too tempted to try their wonderful desserts, promised myself to visit here again for their desserts.
Bookmarked the place with a promise to return, to try their non-vegetarian dishes & yummy desserts.
Excellent food and service, but a bit too dark for my taste. What the offer is pretty standard Italian food, nothing unusual or adventurous. Under the old owners there was dish with tiny squid an octopi that was amazing.
This place is the best!! Look no further for a dark romantic Italian restaurant. Looks so old school and charming. Great date spot. The food is fantastic, we got garlic bread, penne alla vodka and cavatappi bolognese, all had great flavor and huge portions. I also got two drinks, dealers choice, they were great, tailored to my liking. Our waiter was also wonderful, as the rest of the staff. Call ahead for reservations, they turned some away!
Excellent place. Very local feel and the music and vibe were fun! The only reason I only gave four stars is service level. They were just under staffed and I feel that the staff was super rush. But for anyone around DT please visit. It’s worth the 8 min cab
Me and my girlfriend went to Vito’s first time in July 21, 2018 for her birthday, and it’s was just incredible!
From lightning to the food on plate.
Live music, comfy seats, best server (sorry, I don’t remember you name), delicious food.
I’m meat eater and sweet person, I got steak , it’s was the best stake I ever had. For desert I had, tiramisu , it was just unreal.
Highly highly recommend this place for people who looking for romantic and comfortable atmosphere, with classic Italian style and amazing food!
And we are coming back tomorrow for my birthday;) traveling from Canada ;)
Well-crafted classic cocktails, tasty food, awesome music, and good staff.
I stumbled across Vito's while exploring the neighborhood around the hospitals. Great find. Bartender and staff friendly - food traditional and good (for an Italian restaurant). Dark with atmosphere. Before they banned smoking it would also have been smoke filled. Loved it.
Amazing experience!!! Entree was delicious and the cannoli dessert was perfect. However, the live jazz music was probably the best part of this restaurant. Ambiance was phenomenal
No visual presence on the street, so it's pretty shocking when you step into an absolutely perfect basement jazz bar. Drinks were good, food was nice, and the crowd was a fun mix of CH natives and staff from the neighboring hospitals. Great casual night out.
Great vibe, lots of leather, dark, red. Just what you want in a hideaway bar in Seattle. Great drinks and great live music. 100% gem.

The venue is classic old school Seattle. You can feel the history of it and the photo collages on the walls of the back hallway are great. The wait staff are funny and attentive without being overbearing. First time having dinner and what we ordered was pretty good. I had the short ribs with gnocchi and my partner asked for a vegan version of the spaghetti with marinara. I want to try one of their specialties like the lasagna next time. That isn't gluten free, but I like the fact that they do offer a gluten free pasta for some of their dishes.
We went to hear the jazz band. The house sound system was good, but the drummer had a separate amp and appeared to be playing a drum pad on his lap. It sounded like a car dragging full cans that hopped down the road. Very pingy and cringy. It seemed like he was a stand-in drummer who has to pawn his full kit. It was comical and entertaining but painful on the ears at times. Strange that nobody seemed to notice. We will go back for a different band next time.
Vito's is like a scene from a movie every time I go there. On this night, Ron Weinstein (piano), Jeff Johnson (bass), Eric Eagle (drums), and Tim Kennedy (melodica), played tight, precise, yet fluid renditions of jazz standards. Tonight's patrons, fewer than usual, were quiet and reverential, listening and loving it. Nice menu. Dark and romantic. One almost expects a tuxedoed Bogart, Redford, or Deniro to enquire, "are you enjoying your evening?"
