    Free bread with tomatoes
    Melissa A.

    My husband and I went to Vegas for a basketball tournament. One of the parents offered to take the team to the movies at South Point. Husband and I decided to try Don Vitos on a Sunday evening. We didnt have reservations and they got us right in. We were welcomed warmly by the the waiter, I dont remember his name but he was very knowledgeable about the menu. We started off with the stuffed blossoms and they were crunchy, creamy and delicious. My husband had the lobster spinach Alfredo pasta and he wasn't a fan, he didn't read the description properly and only ate half. We also had the stuffed clams imperial and they were also delicious, highly recommend. Cesar salad was fresh and crispy and made table side. Manager came by and inquired about our meal and noticed the pasta and offered us a different plate. We declined and they took it off our bill which was very nice as it was my husband's fault. We ended the night with the lemon cake with fresh berries, get this desert, it was not too sweet, just enough tart and very soft and fluffy. I enjoyed the ambiance, the staff was phenomenal and very knowledgeable. We will definitely be coming back to this restaurant.

    Another birthday dinner at Don Vito's. It's a classic place we often choose to celebrate birthdays. Service is always great and they are very accommodating. The menu has plenty to choose from. They always have a great choice for wine of the month at a very affordable price, which makes the place very appealing for large groups. Parking is not a problem as it's located at the South Point Hotel & Casino. You can valet or park in their public parking at no charge.

    Steak and Eggs (ft. Cheeseburger)

    Came for steak and eggs (and cheeseburger) with a friend... had to get that Vegas special! Was it good? Yes, it definitely satisfied. The medium rare steak was cooked just right, and everything hit the spot and was as expected. Coming late at night was definitely worth the experience. 100% value and 100% hits the spot.

    Chicken picatta with capers and olive oil lemon sauce.
    Becky L.

    The food was very tasty with great flavor. There were 6 in our group. 3 opted for the chicken picatta with capers and a delicious lemon and olive oil sauce, so good. 1 ordered the shrimp pasta and she was very pleased with her meal. Another ordered the lasagna which she also said was good. My hubby ordered the 3 cheese ravioli with tomatoes and olive oil, he said was done perfectly. We started with bread basket served with a bruschetta (tomatoes in olive oil) dipping sauce. This was a very nice touch, so good! Each meal came with soup or salad. Needless to say we left full and happy! The restaurant is very nice inside with appropriate lighting. The service was impeccable! Will definitely be back!

    We had been wanting to eat here for a long time and finally did have the opportunity to do it. We had reservations and got seated immediately in a nice booth at the back of the restaurant which was nice. One of the first things we always notice the attitude of the hostess, and it often indicates how your service will be (in this case she was not very personable or friendly). The food here definitely was a 4-5 star, but the service could use some help. The complimentary bread and relish were simply delicious. The bread included a normal roll, a roll I call pizza type roll, and a flat cheese cracker type bread which were all great, but what them even better was the relish, which was a mixture of olive oil, balsamic, tomatoes, garlic, and other items (this relish was divine). No butter came with our bread, and we really never had the opportunity to ask for some. We had also ordered the Alfredo (homemade noodle) with shrimp added which was delicious. The white wine clam linguine we order was also very good. The Caesar salad that they mix next to the table was one of the best we have ever had. And the birthday dessert was also very good and a nice gesture. Overall, we were really impressed with all the food and the portion sizes. The service, attentiveness and friendliness are where they fell short. I want to say they tried, but we think they were either short staffed or disorganized. Giving them the benefit of doubt, I would say they were short staffed. The server did check back with us, but not as often as we would have expected, and time between the delivery of our salad, entrees and the check were long. They also have other staff helping but they rarely cleared our finished dishes or refilled our drinks or even asked if we needed anything else. The other negative thing we noticed is there were larger groups in the dining room and a few of them were pretty loud, obnoxious and using vulgar language (I would have thought management would have said something to them). I also had a question when the server picked up my check and payment, but he ran off so quick, he did not hear me (at this point we just wanted to leave). I would have loved to rate this restaurant higher for the food, but unfortunately the service and atmosphere were big negatives (I almost gave it a 2 Star rating but was being generous with the 3 Star rating).

    Great complimentary bruschetta basket
    William D.

    Heard good things but our experience wasn't great. My review is closer to 2.5 but bumped it to 3 without half star options. For starters we made a reservation and received the worst booth in the entire place right next to the kitchen entrance. We watched carts of food go in and out all night and employees talking back and forth. This booth shouldn't be here unless someone requests it because they enjoy being right on top of the kitchen door. This wasn't the worst part, the food was the worst part. The chicken parm was two chicken breasts. Not pounded out like they should be. Some parts of the chicken were rough. The penne was so overcooked it actually mushy. The red sauce on the penne was bitter but was told the same sauce was on the chicken parm which tasted very different. My the shrimp scampi was pasta was also very overcooked but the shrimps were undercooked. Added lots of fresh lemon to help add flavor but it was very bland as well. By far the best part was the bruschetta bread basket. The Caesar was decent as well but I've had much better. Calamari had some good pieces while others were extremely chewy. We left half our food which has never happened before and didn't take anything home. We love Italian food so much and this was the most disappointing Italian experience we've had in Vegas. Thank you for the complimentary dessert for our anniversary but again it wasn't very tasty. That part didn't surprise me as many places drop the ball on complimentary desserts. Left unsatisfied. Service was friendly, no issues there. Mentioned the table to the manager and she said she would note our account to never be sat at table 16 but sadly we won't be back.

    Service was good, but the food was just okay and felt pretty plain. For the price, it reminded me of a very expensive Olive Garden experience rather than something special. I ordered the lobster pasta for $39, but there was barely any lobster in it; halfway through the meal, I had to remind myself it was even supposed to be a lobster dish. The service was the highlight. The staff were very nice, welcoming, and warm, which I appreciated. But overall, the food didn't live up to the price or expectations.

    My cousin and I decided to use our $75.00 voucher at Don Vito's. The complimentary bread and tomatoe, garlic and olive oil spread was very addictive. I initially ordered the lobster with spinach fettichini alfredo wasn't to my liking. My waiter was very accommodating. I decided to try their shrimp scampi with linguini. The shrimp were succulent and the scampi sauce was garlicy, just the way I like it. My cousin ordered their chillian seabass with fresh greenbeans and lemon butter reduction. It was good. But she prefers it seared. When you walk into Don Vito's the ambiance is very cozy. All the staff are accommodating and gracious. To all my yelpers. If your in Las Vegas. Please dine at Don Vito's. To my yelpers. Let's continue to eat our way through out the world.

    Side order of spaghetti with generous sprinkle of shredded parmesan cheese
    Pacita D.

    What a revelation. It was a superb experience, from the moment we sat down. First of all, even though the tables were close to each other, we could carry on a conversation without shouting. The setting was so elegant. Our service was impeccable. We noticed that the wait staff consisted of very attentive and mature and obviously very well trained people. In a flash, it was wonderful to receive a generous basket of breads with their own delicious salsa. Our water glasses were never half-full because there was always a man filling our glases. For starters, we split a very large salad garnished with pears, gorgonzola cheese and candided pecans. We could have licked the bowl. It was that good. My partner ordered his favorite, chicken parmigiana. In his mind, this was his ultimate test to see if an Italian restaurant serves good food. He was delighted that the chicken wasn't pounded and overly breaded. It was plump and juicy, served with a side order of spaghetti. He thinks it's the best chicken parm he's ever had. The restaurant stopped offering cioppino, but they do have pasta pescatore in cioppino broth. Goodness, but that was incredibly tasty with lots of shrimp, clams, mussels and fish. Surprisingly, no squid. But that was perfectly fine with me. Wish they did have scallops, though. The cioppino broth was so rich and luscious. Had more than enough leftover for the next day's dinner. And happily, our server also included a fresh basket of bread and a very generous helping of their yummy salsa. So glad and happy we decided to eat there.

    Steak and eggs
    Mich W.

    Price here is insaneeee during graveyard hours. $8 steak and eggs!!! Quick service and great priced food, not the best steak but so worth it for the price. Definitely must go Vegas stop

    Complimentary bread basket with bruschetta like dipping oil.
    Ania K.

    A forgettable chapter in our Italian cuisine tour of Las Vegas. As part of our quest to explore every Italian restaurant in the city, a tribute to my man's love for the cuisine, we made reservations weeks in advance. We were seated beside the hallway to the kitchen where carts piled high with food clattered past us every minute or so. Usually they hit the wall and rattled our booth. Charming, right? Normally this can be forgiven with amazing food but sadly that wasn't the case. This spot could easily be mistaken for Olive Garden but with a higher price tag and even less flavor. The pasta was mushy, the calamari rough and rubbery, and the table-side Caesar lacked punch, served with watery dressing and even though it was tossed right in-front of us many of my pieces were left not coated in anything. We usually leave Italian spots with a bounty of leftovers, but not this time. My shrimp scampi was nearly inedible with overcooked pasta and shrimp that was once again, rubbery. My man's chicken parm came with thick, unpounded chicken that was very firm, paired with pasta somehow even more overdone than mine. The only memorable bite was the complimentary bread with bruschetta-style dipping oil that was very flavorful. When your free starter outshines everything else you know it's a problem. Left hungry and disappointed. If you enjoy great Italian food, look elsewhere.

    Stuffed Clams Imperial
    Lindsay T.

    We had a great dinner experience from the moment we walked in. We were seated at a comfortable booth, I would definitely recommending asking for one if they're available. We ordered the stuffed clams, lobster fettuccini, bone in ribeye and chose the tableside Caesar. Everything was excellent, with the steak being well seasoned and cooked perfectly to our requested temperature. My favorite was the stuffed clams though, they were stuffed full of fresh crab meat and came with a light but rich butter lemon sauce. I would definitely recommend as an appetizer. The espresso martini was also very well prepared, not too creamy with a strong espresso flavor, and only $9. Great choice for a date or family dinner.

    Dirty Up, Espresso Martini

    Don Vito's has an old world, classic vibe. It's quiet, dimly lit and comfortable. You will be greeted by friendly faces and experience attentive service. We enjoyed our cocktails, complimentary bread and Caesar salads (prepared tableside). Unfortunately, the entrees did not suit our taste. We had the Five Cheese Ravioli Oliva, Vito Vegan Pasta Primavera and Capellini Carbonara. We were surprised that the food was not very flavorful. However, portions were generous and we could tell that they use fresh, good quality ingredients.

    Can you order take out?

    Thank you for you inquiry. No, the restaurants do not permit orders for take out.

    Do you offer a kids menu?

    Their menus are online, its a fine dining Italian restaurant. Not really a place for kids.

    Can we bring our own wine? And if so, what is the corking fee?

    No you can't.

    Anniversary dinner tonight, what should I order?

    Happy Anniversary Emma! Thank you for choosing Don Vito's at the South Point to celebrate your special occasion. My favorite Italian dish is Chicken Parmesan and when I order it at Don Vito's I am never disappointed. It comes with a Caesar Salad…

I kept changing my mind on what I wanted to do and where I wanted to eat. They had a 5:00 or 8:45, so 5:00 it was. When we arrived and checked in, the hostess automatically said Happy Anniversary. That was great! Then when we were sat at our table, our server also said Happy Anniversary and also ensured they reviewed the allergy I mentioned when I booked the reservation. The food and service were immaculate! Can't wait to go again! We ordered the Bacio Di Mila and Ciao Cetriolo to drink, which were so perfect and refreshing. The Ruchetta had the perfect flavor, two orders of Fiori Di Zucca since one isn't enough and an order of Linguine Limone. The restaurant plays amazing music, it's a vibe!

The service itself was fine, although the staff's fake Italian accents throughout the evening felt more distracting than authentic. We were also seated near the open kitchen, which was extremely loud and uncomfortable. There were constantly servers and other staff members huddled together having conversations directly behind us, making it difficult to enjoy what was supposed to be a special dinner. We started with the meatballs, which were a major disappointment. The exterior, which I assume was supposed to be crispy and fried, was instead burnt, while the inside was bland and lacking any real flavor. The bread was probably the best part of the meal, which is saying something. For our entrées, we ordered the Fettuccine al Burro and Rigatoncini alla Vaccinara. Both were incredibly basic pasta dishes that felt substantially overpriced and, frankly, weren't memorable at all. Unfortunately, what was memorable was what happened after dinner. Both of us became violently ill following the meal. After a miserable trip home, I ultimately had to go to urgent care, where I was told I likely had a foodborne illness. I remained sick for nearly two weeks afterward. Between the disappointing food, uncomfortable seating, chaotic atmosphere, and getting seriously ill after the meal, this was an incredibly disappointing experience--especially for an anniversary dinner. Needless to say, I will never be returning to Mother Wolf.

Food The Summer in Italy menu was very impressive. You get a four-course meal with an appetizer, pasta dish, entree, and dessert. I was with a group of four people and we all went with it and mostly ordered something different so we can try everything. For my appetizer, I went with the Gamberi Marechiaro, which was a shrimp dish in a lemon butter white wine sauce. It was excellent. We also had the Calamari Fritti, Burrata, and Flori di Zucca Sorrento. Everything was excellent. A great start to the meal. For the pasta dish, I ordered the Gnocchi Pistachio Pesto, which was my favorite dish of the whole experience. Other dish ordered were Lobster Ravioli. For the entree, I went with the Osso Buco, which was very good. I was staring to get full by this point, but I was persevered. Other dishes ordered were Petite Filetto di Manzo and Vitello al Limone. For dessert, they brought us a slice of cheesecake for our birthday, which was excellent and we ordered Cannoli and Pistachio Passion to go. They have an incredible wine list, which can be overwhelming. We ordered two bottles of wine, which the names already escape me. I'm better at drinking it than remembering the names. 5/5 Service The service was definitely upscale. They have a bread guy that comes around (once) and offers you an option of bread. Staff were friendly and knowledgeable. My water cup was never empty either. 5/5 Ambiance Ferraro's has a very nice aesthetic to it. The wine cellar is impressive and encouraging. The tables aren't too close together, which allows for a more comfortable meal. 5/5 Ferraro's is upscale dining. It is not cheap, especially if you are drinking wine, but it's a good experience. The Summer in Italy menu is a great value and you leave very full. Definitely experience it if you can.
