Vito's Trattoria

Good selection of classic Italian dishes with some nice daily specials. Salmon ala Griglia was very tasty, little over cooked on one side but still very good. The chicken in our Pollo alla Picatta was a little over done and but still very tasty along with the pasta. Calamari appetizer was what I imagined, but the sauce that came with it had more to be desired. Overall a very good experience. Affogato for desert was fantastic.

Vito's gets an a+ in every category. The food was outstanding. The level of service and attention to detail was outstanding. Chelo was taking care of me. In fact everyone took care of me. They never once acted like they wasn't my server. This is a must visit restaurant. It is absolutely a diamond.

Had a great dinner here with family. Food was excellent, and service was even better. Dessert and wine menus were exceptional. Definitely recommend.

Classic Italian dishes served in a classic Italian restaurant venue. Fish and pasta were cooked perfectly, and the staff was friendly and super efficient. Parking was a bit tricky, as the street parking was limited and the parking lot was not intuitively available.

Great little spot for Italian food. Pasta was prepared perfectly, and the service was awesome. It's a good place for a work group dinner or for casual dinning. Not really a romantic vibe but that's what i liked about it. I will definitely go back.

We ran into this restaurant and tried their food twice in a week because it is located very close to our hotel. And we were pretty satisfied with their services & great dishes we had. I guess, their food tastes very close to that of Italian.

The pasta was great. I loved Vodka alla pollo, Carbonara was good too. The entries are huge, I regret not splitting one for two, even for a small fee they charge.

Busy trip allowed me to explore some options away from the downtown San Jose area. Very nice option here at Vito’s. Atmosphere is pleasant, and the team was exceptional. Efrain was very attentive to the table and ensuring we were having a pleasant evening. Side note, the Mousse is to die for!!

We went to Vito's the day before Valentine's Day for celebration. Waiters were friendly and helped us seated quickly. We ordered Shrimp Scampi and Carbonara. The shrimps were huge and fresh. The scampi sauce was very creamy and delicious. The dish also came with creamy risotto and a generous portion of grilled vegetables. The carbonara portion was large and topped with a lot of bacons. It was simple, classic and tasty. After main courses, we ordered creme brûlée as dessert. The creme brûlée itself was sweet, but the strawberries and blueberries on the top balanced out the sweetness well. Overall we were quite satisfied with the food. There was plenty of street parking as well as a parking lot next to it. It was a cozy place to celebrate special occasions.

Service is great Food, my husband had the restaurant specialty osso bucco. My husband was disappointed. It fell short of his expectations. He had osso bucco from other Italian restaurants. I had the ceasae salad with prawns. The salad was great. The shrimp was a little salty but was well grilled. I guess the saltiness of the shrimp just complemented the salad. The calamari was very good. Ambiance is good. We did not order pasta. Maybe next time. I'm not forgetting the warm and tasty bread with olive oil with balsamic vinegar ti start. We will go back again to try other dishes from the menu. We will skip the osso bucco. Recommended.

Here's a polished review you can post: --- We recently dined at **Vito Trattoria** in Santa Clara and had a great overall experience. The potato pasta was outstanding--soft, pillowy, and perfectly coated in sauce. It had that comforting, homemade texture that really stands out. We also ordered the sampler, which was a great way to try a variety of flavors. Everything tasted fresh and well-prepared, and the portions were generous. The only downside came at the end of the meal. When it was time to leave, we were handed to-go containers to pack our leftovers ourselves, while we noticed other tables had their dishes taken and neatly packed for them by staff. It wasn't a huge issue, but the inconsistency in service was noticeable. Overall, the food was delicious and worth coming back for--just hoping for a more consistent service experience next time.

Nice cozy restaurant. Interesting area near an industrial sj and the airport. Parking was easy on the street and also garage. I had the vodka allanpollo which was flavorful. Enjoyed it the next day too. Good portions. Had a red wine which was good as well. Our friends had linguine and rib eye. The way are it all happily. The lasagna was the big disappointment. I wouldn't ever order it again. Service was friendly. Misc is a little loud for conversation but it's not too bad. I'd scale the volume a little to add to the atmosphere of friends talking.

Ordered the Rigatoni Pasta Bolognese and it was absolutely amazing perfectly prepared with a meat sauce and a ton of flavor. The portion was huge, definitely enough to fill you up. Also had the garlic bread, which was outstanding and the perfect combo with the pasta. Highly recommend!

Location is hidden from Skyport road but they do have a huge sign from the street. You can't miss it. Upon walking in, I was greeted with a smile and asked if id like a bar area or a dining table. I opted to sit at the bar area since I was all by my lonesome. I started with Tito and soda with a splash of cranberry and the calamari. Calamari had good taste and not as crunchy as I like but the dressing was great. Between a pizza and a lasagna was the hardest decision I made for the day. I asked the waiter which one he would prefer.... and he said said "Both are good, but just depends on how hungry you are... the lasagna is heavy and the pizza is light." To which inreplied... "ohhh good point let me get the pizza with pepperoni and mushroom". Best decision for the day. I know i would have loved the lasagna... but I wanted something light.

December 15, 2025 and it was time for some delicious Italian food... The 4 of us started with a Sampler Plate which is an assortment of Bruschetta, Mozzarella Sticks, Caprese and Prosciutto e' Melon. The Old Fashions were tasty. The Veal Milanes - Breaded and Deep Fried Veal Cutlet Topped with a Lemon Sauce and served with Spinach Ravioli Topped with Bolognese Sauce was delicious as was a second order, but with cheese ravioli. The Chicken Marsala - Lightly Floured Fresh Chicken Breast Sauteed in Mushroom-Marsala Wine Sauce and Served over Linguini Pasta was very tasty. I had my go to, the Frutti di Mare - Linguini Pasta Sauteed with Prawns, Calamari, Baby Clams, Mussels, Basil and Diced Tomatoes in a Mild Red Sauce. For desert we enjoyed the newly added lemon cake, along with orders of spumoni, and a some limoncello too. Thank you Chello, Ismael, Lou, and Oda for the great service, and a shout out to the kitchen for the great food!!

They just opened for dinner and the place was empty. I was greeted so very kindly and I saw they had one table filled with regulars that came in a little bit early. They all seemed so happy and kind. I asked them what drinks they have and asked them to come up with something creative and the drink they made me was delicious! I can't name it though. The food came out fast and was cooked to perfection. I was not disappointed at all. This place was a great find and I will definitely be going back if ever in that area again. It is more of a fancy place, super nice and romantic. There is also outside seating.

I wanted a great Italian lunch, and seeing the award for best in Silicon Valley had me trying the place. The parking here is plentiful but slightly tricky. There is a garage entrance half a block away that you can park in, but continue out the first exit to get to the outdoor spaces closer to the restaurant. And if you do use the garage, go around the back way to the door instead of under the sign at Skyport, it's a shorter distance. For my food, it started with a side salad, dressed perfectly (no puddles but flavoring was perfect) and all ingredients were fresh. Best part of the meal. For the main, I ordered the mild Frutti di Mare, mixed seafood linguini. I'd describe it as light, clean, and fresh. Perfectly cooked pasta and seafood and not a lick of seafood grit anywhere. Shrimp were large and well-cleaned. My only minor issue was the fresh julienned basil on top was not spread out well; I got a forkful of clumped basil while I ate, but otherwise again very tasty. Servers were excellent, checked on me enough and kept my drink full. One thing that surprised me was while the server does grind fresh pepper at the table for you, they unfortunatley do not grind fresh parmesan. Instead they have table shakers of the canned grated kind, like at pizza parlors. Again, though, this is minor. I got a creme brulee for dessert, the fresh fruit topping was nice, and it was well-set and not overly sweet (just how I like), but a few spots on the caramelized top were a bit over-torched, leading to bitter burn taste on just a bite or two of it (most of the rest was fine). Still, this place was good enough for me to want to return, and overall I was quite happy with the meal and service. Integrate a table-service parmesan grater and a few very minor fixes and the place would be the bees knees.

Wow, can't believe I've been sleeping on Vito's Trattoria all these years! It wasn't until my friend, who has been staying at the nearby condos, arranged for us to have dinner there. We strolled into the restaurant around 7:30pm on a Wednesday. We didn't have reservations, but we had no problem finding a seat indoor or outdoor. While it looked fun and lively inside, we decided to sit outside since weather permitting. Overall service was excellent. Our food came out fast, and our server was just the best. He was the kind of person who seemed to really loved his job, so his attitude translated positively. I got the Catch of the Day, which was a Chilean Sea Bass with 2 prawns over risotto and asparagus. It was absolutely divine. Everything about the dish was executed to perfection. The sea bass was moist and flaky, and the prawns were plumb. Loved the lemony, buttery white sauce with capers over the risotto. This rich sauce brought everything together. I would certainly be back again to get this. I would honestly give the place a 5-star if it weren't for my friend's Frutti Di Mare that I tried. The linguini was nicely al dente and the sauce tasted really fresh, but the whole dish was bland to me. Maybe if they offered parmesan to spruce up the saltiness that would've helped with elevate the dish.

Overall, a big disappointment. Nothing was bad but everything was pretty average at best. The bruschcetta was below average mainly because the bread quality was poor. I had a fish special. Again, the fish was not bad just... Average at best. Too much lemon. My friend had a NY strip and he only ate half. We noticed the table next to ours shared a piece of cheesecake and didn't finish it between the two of them. We ordered the tiramisu and this was probably the best of the night. But not good enough to salvage our opinion of the food.

Came in for a work lunch, was busy but were greeted right away and sat immediately. Host was very nice For a starter I got the Fried calamari, it was very good. Rings and tentacles and cooked perfectly. Hate when it gets rubbery but these were perfect. Lightly breaded and fried The meals come with a Side salad with an Italian balsamic type dressing. It was good and fresh For my main I got the Pasta pollo vodka. It was amazing. Pasta cooked perfectly, sauce was very tasty. Chicken cooked just right and plenty of it. Service was good, friendly and efficient, offered suggestions and advice Very nice lunch spot. Parking is free close by, which is huge downtown.

A welcoming place amidst office complex, sjc airport, 101 and Kaizer! Love the free parking around it and welcoming outdoor and indoor seating. As you enter, you are greeted by friendly faces! You can make a reservation at "open table" if you plan to be there between peak hours. In $55 (before tip), we got: - your choice of 2 topping pizza - 4/5 - we got jalapeño, mushroom, olives. Bell peppers. They charged $1 for each extra topping. The pizza was loaded with veggies on a thin but tender crust. - veggie primavera pasta - 5/5 - we swapped the sauce from creamy white to vodka sauce for an extra charge and it was totally worth it. Bomb pasta and heavy/ huge portion size. Good to share! - garlic bread with cheese - 4/5 - huge portion and good quality cheese. I wish they added some herbs/ etc too on it to add a kick - complimentary sour dough rolls 5/5 are served on request. Loved it! - garden green salad - 4/5 - side plate of salad with greens, carrots, a big tomato slice and vinegar drenched onions. Pairs well with the sour dough rolls. Service is impeccable :) and it's a pleasure visiting them! #supportlocal

Vito's never disappoints! Been coming here for years! Friendly and responsive service, great food! This past weekend my husband, my best friend and her husband were on a double date - this is a special place for us we like to go to. Lou was our server and he had us laughing! Great start to the comedy show we saw later that evening-Fortune Feimster-awesome show by the way. Vito's is one of our favorite Italian restaurants and I think they've won Best Italian Restaurant a few times. You'll have to check it out for yourself

My BF wanted to take me out for a special treat on my birthday -- kept it a surprise until we arrived at Vito's; he'd made a "birthday girl" reservation and we were greeted warmly and seated at a wonderful table with a view. Sadly, Kutzy *me* knocked over my date's water glass -- happily only the part of the table next to him got wet and he stayed dry; the ultra-friendly waiter Lou and his colleagues didn't bat an eyelash and reseated us at another lovely table by a different window. I decided on the veal scallopine marsala (a fave that I don't tend to see often on menus) and for my red-wine decision our wonderful waiter Lou recommended an Italian wine on their menu. He happiliy gave me a fairly generous "taste" of it to compare with their $17/glass merlot [?Markham?] which I thought I might like; and when I wasn't nuts about either of them complementing my veal I asked him for "just a tiny taste" of their $17 pinot noir [?Coppola?] -- which he was happy to provide and which was *just right*. They provide BOTH butter AND olive-oil/balsamic without having to ask (for whichever one you prefer) with their very-nice bread-rolls, and I appreciated that! My veal marsala, served with vegies and pasta with delicious red sauce was perfect, and the portion large enough that I ended up taking half of it home due to "saving room for dessert"; my BF enjoyed one of the veal cutlet dishes. We pondered over the dessert menu and finally decided to share the tiramisu but before we could place our order, Lou brought over a Birthday Present of ... Tiramisu! -- replete with a little pink candle. Bottom Line: Terrific place to which I plan to return and highly recommend!

After watching the movie Nonnas on Netflix, we had a hankering for Italian food. My husband choose Vito's Trattoria because he liked the name. Turns out it was the perfect choice! They are super inviting and because I had a GS Warriors shirt on, we were seated at a high top table in the bar area so we could watch the Warrior's Game. We started out with the Caprese. It was fantastic. Bright, fresh & very good. I usually do not do this type of appetizer due to the cheese but this one was definitely worth it. For our main dishes my husband had the Ossobucco and I had the Chicken Marsala. Both were amazing! We finished off our dinner with the Bananas Royal and a coffee. The staff was super friendly and the food was made to order and delicious. We will definitely return to try more of their dishes.

What a wonderful and beautiful restaurant. The food is delicious, the ambiance is inviting and the service is incredibly great.

Quick update because of new visit 10/08/24: Wish I had suggested we order the calamari (add Marinara!) but we got the sample platter. It was good, but the calamari was sooo good last time. The menu is extensive, but I remembered from last time - WAIT FOR THE SPECIALS to be announced. Sure enough, the halibut over risotto was presented as a special and 4 of 6 of us ordered that. It was damn good. Go get some chow here you will not be disappointed. As with last time, service is 5+ stars. They are all awesome!

Wife and I decided to try this restaurant after several business trips to this area / hotel. It is walking distance from our hotel and we always walk by while taking our puppy out to stretch his legs. The take - out process was seamless. Our order was taken politely and thoroughly over the phone by a kind gentleman. When my wife stopped by to pick up the food, from returning from work, the food was hot and ready! The restaurant, itself, was busy, clean, wonderfully aromatic, and the staff were bustling around always busy. I ordered the rib-eye and prawns while wifey decided upon the Pasta Carbonara with Sicilian Bruschetta. Considering this food was take-out, It was better than the caliber of food we get from most of the Italian steakhouses we've in months. The 12 ounce steak was so juicy and tender, I really did not need a knife. It was beautifully seasoned with a mushroom sage brown butter sauce. Our Carbonara pasta was cooked al dente ( perfect ) and tossed in a white creme sauce with bacon and onion while the 4 Bruschetta crustini's were separated from their hearty, tangy tomato, basil, and balsamic topping. This place can make the take-out food taste so amazing that it makes one want to go back and eat in the restaurant which is what we will be doing. Cannot wait to try this place again !!

Not huge on Italian food but it was Very good food. We had garlic bread with cheese, linguini frutti di mare, and chicken Parmesan with vodka sauce. The service was great as well

Our team visited for a birthday lunch around midday, with a party of eight. Since gratuity was automatically added for larger groups, it was already included in our bill. Unfortunately, there wasn't enough indoor seating available for us, so we were seated outside under a comfortable umbrella. The restaurant offers an extensive menu, including daily specials. They were also accommodating enough to let us order from the dinner menu when one of our guests wasn't satisfied with the lunch options. The portion sizes were quite generous. I had the tri-tip, which was beautifully cooked and served with potatoes and vegetables. The dish was accompanied by a well-flavored chimichurri sauce, though it had a bit of a spicy kick. Another special was a fish dish that was nearly perfect--though the pink sauce that came with it had an unusual flavor that didn't quite hit the mark. Overall, the Italian cuisine was of great quality, and the restaurant was impressively clean. There was ample parking nearby, though signs cautioning against leaving valuables in your car were prevalent.

I was upcharged like crazy. I thought I was getting $7 soup and an $8 salad. My server asked if I wanted to add shrimp to my salad. When I got the check, the $8 salad turned into a $38 seafood salad. Yikes. I could have asked about the shrimp upcharge or contested the bill but I just didn't have it in me. The good: I had half an hour to eat and they met that timeline easily in an unhurried fashion The food was very good. The minestrone was delish and the uncharged shrimp was high-quality shrimp and perfectly cooked. I have 2-3 more appointments at this Kaiser so I'm sure I'll be back but I'll ask more questions about upcharges.

First of all, it will be hard to get better service. Chelo, our server, was excellent. He really took care of us. I had the meatballs and pasta. Way too much food! Very hearty. My wife enjoyed her gnocchi. My son in law had the Frutti di Mare and it was loaded with fish. Daughter had the pasta marinara with vodka sauce. She had bay shrimp which made it really tasty. We usually eat here when we go to the San Jose Airport. We always look forward to a great Italian meal.

What a wonderful dinner out solo. The restaurant looks like an OG Italian family restaurant with dark cherry wood, columns and chandeliers. All the servers took care of me equally without hesitation. I loved the soft, yummy bread with balsamic and oil. I started with the minestrone soup, which was a light broth filled with veggies and beans, sans filling pasta. Just so flavorful! I was going to order the lasagna as the photos looked great, but I wanted veggies and as the Veal Picatta came with both Penne Bolognese and veggies that's what I got. Boy was I happy! One of the best Veal Picatta's I ever had! Ate it all! I grabbed a card and recommended the place to my hotel staff upon my return. I will have to remember this place next time I'm in town and try that lasagna!

I ordered Vito's catering for a lunch event at work since they were willing to deliver 10+ miles. From the moment I emailed George to the food delivery, George was very polite, accommodating & made great suggestions on dishes to consider to balance out flavors. The excel spreadsheet he provided to use to plan my order was very helpful. The food was delivered on time by Anthony who was also wonderful to work with. He helped set up the food including the food labels they provided. The food came in aluminum pans, but he set them up on my wire racks for me & I used my own sternos. Without the sternos, it would still last about an hour warm. Everyone raved about the food & kept asking where I catered from. I ordered salad (came w caesar and balsamic dressing on side), mixed veggies, bread (very soft & delicious), pollo vodka, pasta fresca (for vegetarians), salmon pasta, & chicken marsala. The food was meant for 50+ but it can easily feed 60 +. Given the very positive food compliments & great customer service, I would definitely order from Vito's again. I highly recommend the catering & food. Thank you to Vito's for being on point with catering!

I was in San Jose for work. Got back to my hotel after a long day of meetings and asked at the front desk where I should go for dinner, and they recommended Vito's. Hopped in an Uber and headed over. When I walked in, Ismael greeted me with a warm welcome at the door and let me know the kitchen was closing in 10 minutes. I turned to leave, but he insisted I stay. He recommended some seafood dishes and the vodka pollo. I was in the mood for comfort food and decided on the vodka pollo. The chicken was cooked perfectly. The pasta was al dente, and the sauce was just the right amount of creamy. Ismael even had the kitchen spice it up a little bc I mentioned I like spicy vodka sauce. It really hit the spot. Ismael was great. He never rushed me despite the fact they were closing. So glad I came to Vito's and will be back the next time I'm in town, but I'll make sure I get here earlier. lol

Vito's Trattoria brought me straight back to Sunday dinners at my nonna's house. From the moment I walked in, the place felt familiar -- warm lighting, classic decor, and that unmistakable aroma of garlic, simmering tomatoes, and something good on the stove. I came here on a quiet Thursday evening with my wife, and we ended up staying longer than planned just soaking in the atmosphere. I ordered the Vodka Pollo on a friend's recommendation -- perfectly al dente pasta, creamy sauce with just the right balance of heat and richness, and generous portions of chicken that were tender without being overdone. My wife had the Carbonara, and we ended up sharing plates like we were at home. Everything was beautifully plated -- you can tell someone in the kitchen really cares. Service was impeccable. Our server knew the menu like the back of his hand and had great wine pairing suggestions (we went with a Montepulciano that worked beautifully with both dishes). The staff moved efficiently but never made us feel rushed -- it felt more like being taken care of than just being served. The only minor thing: parking took a bit of circling, but honestly, once you're inisde, you forget about it. For anyone who appreciates honest Italian cooking attention to detail and a place where conversation flows as easily as the wine -- Vito's is the real deal. I'll be back soon with my parents. I have a feeling my dad's going to say: "Tastes just like Calabria".

Let me try to share our experience as thoroughly as possible. We weee craving Italian food and we have to promising restaurants we usually go for such craving. But tonight we decided to try something new well new to me and a repeat visit to my love who she said she had business lunches with clients and other friends before. Ok more about this restaurant last night because it is located the same distance where we enjoy a night out at another Italian bistro. We thought let's give it a chance. As we checked in we noticed it was getting packed and reservation was definitely needed so the hostess said it might be a 45 mins wait but will try to get you settle in 30 mins. We asked where was the bar and headed to it and at the same time we saw tables with reservation signs on table. So ordered our drinks and asked about one table without a reservation signed if that was opened for dine in or bar privileged and the bar tender who we found out is one of the owners through family pictures on the wall. Anthony was delighted to help us through the night from drinks, to our main dish. He made us felt we were family. Let's talked about their food. Let's go! If you like butter & garlic, if your nose loves the smell of Italian cooking. This place is for you. It feels like family. This kind of experience sets the standard for a walk in dinner we sat next to the bar and bread oven and overseeing the whole dining area and entrance of the restaurant. I have this belief when a restaurant is excellent I could tell but when a restaurant has a history of generational awesomeness meaning seniors, silver hair people I only could imagine they come here because of the quality of food. Again manager/ owner was kind and attentive. Staff was helpful and observant. Food was fast, HOT (that's important to me) and delicious. Also, my check was closed out quickly heck when I know the food is good I don't need to see the bill just ring me up (also important to me) so we was able to get a good dinner experience and will be back guaranteed. Big shout out to Anthony who offered to box our food too. Seriously, what a guy! Thanks

I hoped the food would have tasted better. I chose a margherita pizza (which is simply a cheese pizza here), cheese ravioli, and pasta carbonara. The pizza was thoroughly disappointing. The cheese and crust were bland and it was overly greasy. The carbonara was equally disappointing. I recognize what it was attempting to do, but it failed to deliver. The cheese ravioli was generally good. The marinara sauce and ricotta filling were excellent. However, I believe they were likely frozen. Food took about 30 minutes to arrive. Felt like a long time though.

This restaurant was overall a good find and nice experience. The atmosphere is traditional Italian, clean and the staff was on top of it, offering each course quickly and wine and drinks aplenty. I ordered the chicken Marsala and it was good, a little lacking in richness of flavor, but with quality ingredients and delicious. A solid Italian option in the area.

After having some of the most amazing spicy vodka pasta in Las Vegas, my guy was on a hunt to find something just as great here, back at home. We drove around aimlessly and ended up at Skyport. I quickly took that as a sign and immediately decided on Vito's. I've actually had Vito's Trattoria 1 other time and as much as I wanted to love it, the food just feel short of my expectations. That previous experience was in the form of takeout and this time around, I went with dining in. The restaurant offers are good in size and is categorized by appetizers, soup/salads, chicken, seafood, steak, veal, & pastas. Vito's also offers BYO personal pizzas with 2 toppings, additional options are available for an added fee. I'm a huge carb lover so I settled with the Vodka Alla Pollo & the Spaghetti Alla Bolognese. Playing was very simple, which I have no complaints about. The food is made fresh, delivered steaming, and pasta is cooked authentically al dente. Food: Spaghetti was good. Definitely the more likable dish amongst our party. Flavors were good, sauce was plentiful, and a few shakes of parmesan cheese made things even more delicious. Vodka Alla Polla was not comparable to what I had in Vegas but was okay. The issue I had with this dish was the blandness. Yes, you get the bit of tartness from the strips of sun dried tomatoes but not much else from the vodka cream sauce. EXTRA EXTRA EXTRA parmesan cheese was used in this dish alone and I can only imagine what the staff was thinking as they witnessed myself shaking the cheese dispenser violently/repeatedly. In terms of food, It's been a hit and a miss each and every time I've eaten here. One dish is always a home run and the other is a disappointment. 3 stars overall but I contemplated going even lower for it's rating due to our meal feeling rushed. The one lady came by to clear our table on two different occasions as we were obviously still feeding our toddler. It wasn't like the seating was needed, it seemed as though she was bored and just wanted to look busy??? Either way, that wasn't appreciated.

Been coming here for two years now. Great thing about this place is you can pick your sauce for any dish so changed the marinara to pesto for the Gnocchi. One of the better Chocolate Mousse desserts in the area and service is always great. Fresh bread to start is a hit as well.

The service was great, but very disappointed with the main course. The Vodka a la Pollo was tasteless and very bland, no flavor at all and we both ordered it as our main dish. The Caesar salad was super tiny. The mozzarella sticks were actually pretty good!

This is a very good higher-end restaurant conveniently close to the San Jose Airport. We decided to have lunch here Thursday before my wife got on a flight. They open for lunch at 11am and we arrived at 1115. There was only one other table with people at that time, but we were asked if we had reservations. We did not, but were seated at a nice table for two next to a window. It turns out that by the time we left, the restaurant was full; so, it seems that reservations are advisable even for lunch. The restaurant has a nice indoor dining room and also shaded tables outside. The tables in the dining room are heavy granite. The chairs are heavy metal with comfortable upholstered seats. We started with Cheese Garlic Bread ($7.50) which was very good. There is a full menu of Italian dishes, as well as pasta. What intrigued us was the Bistro Steak Pasta ($21.95(). This is pasta with a generous amount of steak cut into pieces and a delicious mushroom sauce. Fantastic! We each ordered this and we were glad that we did; it was delicious! As lunches go, it is somewhat expensive. However, if you are seeking a nice place for lunch or dinner with your favorite person, this is a good place. It's a great place for good food before getting on an airplane for a long flight. It is less than 5 minutes to drive from the restaurant to either terminal at the airport. We were able to park on the street, but there is a parking structure next to the restaurant's building and a small parking lot in the back.

Incredible vodka sauce! Came here for a friends birthday dinner and we were quickly sat. Our server brought out complimentary bread and balsamic vinegar + olive oil. I had the vodka alla pollo pasta, which is by far some of the tastiest vodka sauce i've tried. The serving size is very large and at a great price point. The atmosphere is very lively as the whole restaurant was full when we went, definitely recommend making a reservation for larger parties.

The high rating is for a reason. Food is excellent and service is over the top! Love this place!

Amazing!!!! We called for a late dinner about 7pm and they were so gracious to have us come in. They were super nice, great recommendations and did not rush us. We had the caprese salad, egg plant parm (their grandmother recipe) and spaghetti Bolognese. All super yum and portions large enough to take 1/2 home. Worth it is you are in the area !!

We ran into this restaurant and sampled their food twice in a week because it's situated extremely close to our hotel. And we were quite pleased with their service & excellent dishes we tried. I believe, their food tastes very close to that of Italian.

We cannot say enough praise for Vito's Trattoria! The food is top notch, excellent selection of dishes that go from high end seafood recipes to pizza. I used to think there wasn't any good pizzas in the Bay Area until we found Vito's. The service is the best we have seem as well: attentive and kind service from start to end. The ambiance is also great, we have been both inside, which is cozy and welcoming as well as outside, for a more relaxed atmosphere. All in all, a 100% dinning experience!

My husband, our baby, and I came to dine here today. We were running late, so we called ahead since we knew they close at 2:00 PM. The person on the phone assured us that we would be fine and that they would still seat us. However, when I arrived at 1:53 PM, the man at the front was rude and refused to seat us. I explained that I had called ahead, but he didn't seem to care. It was particularly frustrating because it's difficult for us to get out with a baby, and we used to frequent this restaurant before we had one. I'm very disappointed in both the service and the attitude we experienced. If they weren't planning to seat us, they should have been clear about that on the phone. We wouldn't have driven 30 minutes just to be turned away.

Absolutely delicious! The server was so witty and funny and an absolute delight. The food was also amazing with huge portions. They also had some of the most delicious bread served in an Italian restaurant. However they don't bring it out unless you ask for it with the server. All the pastas (and entrees I think) come with a side salad which was also really good. Their calamari (not pictured) is a must try appetizers. It is fried so crispy on the outside and tender in the inside. The restaurant is a bit on the pricy side but it makes sense with the food and overall vibe/ atmosphere of the place.

Family style, amazing service, been around since 2003 I recommend you order [garlic bread with cheese] as an appetizer, it tastes like pizza without the marinara and trust me you will have garlic breath but it's so worth it! [Vodka alla Pollo] was great. Creamy, but you can still taste the tomato and it wasn't overly tart. Al dente noodles too. [Pasta Carbonara] was my favorite, subbed spaghetti with fettuccine. It was creamy and decadent, bacon was a perfect touch. Try adding some salt and pepper that they have on the table to the dish, gives it a nice touch. We shared 1 appetizer and 2 entrees between 3 people family style and it was the perfect amount of food. Also ordered a single [cannoli] at the end, it has a lemon filling inside. I wouldn't say it was anything special, the shell was very hard and unflavorful for me so I wouldn't get it again. On the pricier side, but I'd come back for any special occasion!

Amazing food! You can taste the authenticity. Generous portions, staff is always so nice, great customer service. Family owned, they're closed on Sundays.

The first sign that Vito's Trattoria is a customer-centered restaurant is when Ashley, the hostess, noticed my husband and me sitting outside 5 minutes before they opened. She came outside to welcome us and let us in early. The restaurant interior is beautiful. I was a little uneasy because I wasn't dressed in "restaurant clothes." I was wearing yoga pants, a long-sleeved tee, a jacket vest, and Skechers. So I was very appreciative of our server Anthony, who was warm, funny, conversational, and made me feel comfortable. My husband ordered a spinach salad and frutti di mare and I had a spinach salad and vodka pollo--all soooo good! Anthony checked on us multiple times and Aurea never let our water and iced tea glasses get below the halfway point. Wonderful service, great ambiance and food--we will be back!

Restaurant is charming. Service was good. Went there with a friend. Shared the Caesar salad, it was so small, not shareable size. I mean tiny portion. Ordered garlic cheese bread. It was hot out of the oven, looked delicious. SO loaded with garlic. Chunks and chunks and chunks of garlic, it was not edible. I ordered chicken piccata, I make this all the time and order at restaurants frequently also, it is usually a light lemony sauce with white wine and capers. This was very thick, flavorless paste. Chicken was rubbery. This was more like fettuccine Alfredo with chicken, which I do like, but that's not what I ordered. My friend had chicken alla griglia. Red sauce which i didn't expect. She said it was fine. My stomach was very upset all night. Won't go there again.

This experience sets the ultimate standard for a casual lunch. I enjoyed a quick solo bite at the bar.

This place is pretty straight forward, and as you would expect: Upper scale Italian restaurant, higher end dishes with higher end prices. I came in with a group of coworkers. Shared an order of calamari and the antipasto and for my entree I went with the waiters recommendation of the Ribeye and prawns as it was also one of the days specials. The calamari was done really well, fried perfectly, and the breaded expertly. The steak was good, I think I would have preferred it without the sauce though and I was disappointed by the size and quantity of the "prawns". But they paired well together and tasted great. The service was good, and if I were to come back I'd be sure to order something more traditionally Italian so I could leave feeling like I had a true Italian restaurant experience rather than something more akin to a visit to a steakhouse.

I was so looking forward to eating here but was definitely left with more to be desired. We ordered the appetizer sampler, Cesar salad, and chicken Marsala. The chicken was a bit tough. We were not offered the complementary bread so ordered garlic bread. We were later disappointed to see bread being served automatically to other guests who came in. The pasta didn't taste very fresh and was a bit disappointing. The appetizer was good. I would not order the garlic bread again.

For a place thats tucked in between SJC, Kaiser and tech businesses, Vito's has a great ambiance. Not really a scenic area but its nice to sit outside with your pasta and wine (nice flower planters, Vitos). Spaghetti and meatballs are my go to at any Italian restaurant. I'm boring that way. The meatballs were so good. Tender, flavorful with the bolognese sauce. But a couple of glitches- first,my daughter got the wrong order then they brought the correct order but there was a metal shaving in her food. The server said it looked like a piece from the grill brush but didn't offer a new plate. She carefully ate her food not wanting to send it back again anyway. Probably not a good thing to do. Despite that, everyone said the food was delicious. So we'll be back again hoping for a 5 star, glitch free experience.
