    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).

    Steak and Eggs (ft. Cheeseburger)
    Winn H.

    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.

    My boyfriend took me here for a birthday/mother's day Friday night. Service was slow. My boyfriend ordered veal Parm, but got chicken. Talk about gouging people. This piece of meat is not veal. SHAME ON YOU!!!. Wound not recommend this place, and I sure as hell I would not be back.

    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!

    Great complimentary bruschetta basket

    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.

    Stopped in for a late bite and ordered the surf & turf--absolutely phenomenal. The scallops were perfectly cooked, and the filet cut like butter and practically melted in my mouth. Their Alfredo is made with homemade noodles, which made it even better. Jason (the new chef) was out mingling with guests and made me feel so welcome. Will definitely be back

    I'm calling this place my ratatouille because I have never been more excited for real Italian food. Being a fine Italian restaurant, the restaurant welcomes you with in a slightly dark elegant atmosphere. As much as I want to try every single one, the one I went with was the old country lasagna. Let me just say, I dropped my fork and mouth because this was by far the best thing I've ever eaten something that felt very Italian. Some of my family members also had different foods like their Lobster with spinach fettuccine Alfredo and the linguini and clams, and I tried everything single one of them with delight. Every taste was fascinating and I love it when I can actually taste real quality from every piece of food. The lasagna was the best, lobster fettuccine was my absolute favorite, and the linguine was phenomenal. Our server also made sure that we had the best experience of the Don Vito's fine dining. I certainly got what I have anticipated, and I will say that I'm putting Olive Garden under the bus. If you want fine Italian food and have enough money, be sure you head on over to South Point Las Vegas as Don Vito's will be awaiting you. I highly recommend it. As it is in Las Vegas, gamble wisely and just enjoy some fresh real food.

    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

    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.

    In two words DON'T BOTHER. Staff is rude and will ignore you and the food is a little below average! We arrived according to the desk captain two minutes late so we would have to wait another 15 minutes. The reason we were late is because the whole front of the restaurant was crowded with people so you couldn't get to the desk so we chose to wait outside so after 3 minutes of our supposed 15 minute wait we are called back in which takes another 10 minutes to squeeze by the people we just left. No reason to hurry though as it took our waiter about 25 minutes to notice us. When he finally took our order the soup i ordered turned into a salad I didn't order. The floor manager finally got us for the Champaign that the waiter would not do. The wait between appetizers and entrees was incredible. And here is the kicker one of the people in our party wanted to order another entree but the waiter told him it was not allowed ( we want to pay you more but we are not allowed come on get real). I only have two pictures because I gave up on this place. Entire staff terrible, food a little below average!

    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.

Service: excellent! The servers have worked here for years, so you know they have pacing down to a science. Drink orders were taken right away. Then warm bread is served. Apps are dropped with time to digest a little before the meal. Servers check in without being overbearing. The entertainment also makes for an unforgettable experience. They sing the classics and encourage the cowed to join. It feels like your home, or at least visiting Nona's Sunday dinner. What I love about supporting this place is that they explain why tiki culture is popular with Italians. I had no clue. When I saw a tiki bar attached to the restaurant, I just thought it was a gimmick, but after reading about it, I thought it was the coolest thing. I love how they preserve this unique collaboration and influence of Polynesian culture. Also, my hubby is a big fan of the Jersey Shore. We had to check it out since they filmed there several times. One of my favorite places in Las Vegas. It's definitely a fun and cozy vibe.

When we arrived, we were informed that we had booked our reservation for the wrong date, but they helped us get a table which we really appreciated.

What we really appreciated was when he went through the menu providing us with recommendations, he also shared his perspective on some dishes that didn't really stand out for him. This really helped us narrow down our order. We ordered the sourdough bread, a margherita pizza, the beef cheek, mussels, butter lettuce salad, and the Zucca. All the dishes were perfectly seasoned and balanced. The sour dough bread was crusty yet fluffy. We ordered the basil ricotta, anchovy butter, and the fegatini. The fegatini was rich and mild. The anchovy butter was briny and savory, but not overwhelming. The basil ricotta was good, but the flavors were a bit too mild for me. The margherita pizza was what I was hoping for in a pizza. The crust was crusty and tender. There was also the right amount of sauce and toppings. The Zucca and it was a very robust dish. The past was perfectly al dente and the dish was quickly consumed. The mussels were very tasty and a bit spicy. After squeezing some lemon juice on each mussel, all the mussels quickly disappeared from the dish. Lastly, the beef cheek. The beef cheek was perfectly braised where the beef shredded easily and was tender, but didn't fall apart. Given that the cheeks were glazed, we were concerned that it would be overly sweet. To our surprise, the glaze, though sweet, was done very well. Pairing the beef with the polenta resulted in the perfect bite. Overall, it was one of the best meals we have had in a while.
