Ciao Vito Restaurant, Portland, Oregon Restaurant Details

Food:

The food is delicious! If you're looking for a nice dinner out, look no further!

Food:

Start to finish I was extremely satisfied. The calamari started us off right, then on to the excellently cooked Carlton Farms Pork Chop. We finished off with the panna cotta topped with fresh strawberries and a glass of moscato. I would recommend this place to friends and family.

I made reservations for Valentine’s Day a month ahead of time. Arrived on time at 6:30 and another couple was in front of us. We waited patiently and stood in the doorway. It was a few minutes before someone acknowledged us. The hostess finally greeted us but did not smile and took us to our table. We were seated in the bar area. I made the reservation over a month ago, and had I known our reservations were for the bar I would have chosen to go somewhere else. Our server was lovely, super friendly. The bartender seemed annoyed with the guests seated at the bar. We ordered the beet salad and the beet hummus on top did not complement the salad. My wife ordered the crab special and I order the clam linguini. Our food was not delivered at the same time. Her’s was delicious, very flavorful. My linguini was bland and I asked for more Parmesan but they were out and delivered pecorino, which was too pungent for my food. Dessert options were gelato, gelato and gelato.

Food:

Food is a bit overpriced for how starchy everything is, but it's also got fresh ingredients mixed in there, and the portions are good. They have a really great selection of cocktails. The server was attentive, or at least made sure it was easy for us to reorder any drinks we may have wanted.

Food:

Holy moly, their crispy beer and tomato sauce dish will ruin your life. You won't be able to stop thinking about it until you have it again and again and again. But even past that, this place has a fantastic happy hour with some delicious small plates. The dinner atmosphere is a bit more soft lighting with a "Lady & the Tramp" romantic vibe but it's a great place to go with anyone who enjoys Italian food. They have a great wine list but is a bit on the pricey side. Who needs wine when you have crispy beef?
