Great little local stop. The garden salad was fresh. I had fried fish that was a nice big piece that was flaky, fresh, and perfectly cooked. Not greasy at all. I live in Maine and was very impressed with this fish! Came with homemade tartar sauce and I opted for veggies. My husband's chicken parm was a large piece of meat and had delicious sauce. Everything seemed to be homemade at this restaurant. Waitstaff was nice and attentive. Would definitely stop here again if I was in the area. read more

Great home made meal in a very area. Fish & chips was well seasoned & my chicken parmigiana was very good. Fairly priced & meal was out quickly on a Saturday. I would go back. read more

It's so nice to have a restaurant in town that is consistent in food and quality. The owners are such warm, wonderful people. If you're not happy with your dish, the owner, Sal, will make it right. read more

Walk in and your greeted but they say you can sit anywhere you want. Such a nice casual Italian spot. I wish they had bottled water because I try not to drink sodas. Bathrooms were clean. Pizza crust was great. Nice hand tossed. Supreme is pretty good. It's a good casual Italian restaurant read more

Very good. Ordered takeout. Friendly staff. Hit the spot after a long day. Definitely worth checking out.

On the very first night we moved to Lovingston, we went here for dinner. We just wanted to sit and rest while we ate our pizza. We went in about 35 minutes before close, and the older waitress was upset with us and mumbled, "You've got to be f****** kidding" when we asked to be seated. Yes, there were 5 of us, but we were only ordering pizza. We actually finished our pizza and left 10 minutes before closing and before other people who were already there when we arrived. That just didn't sit well with me, so we never went back. The pizza was good, but the service was not! read more

Never have had anything that wasn't delicious Whether dining in or out I know I'm going to have a wonderful meal read more

Nice little pizzeria with basic Italian fare. Good prices and easy to adapt the order and achieve an all vegan meal. Our server was prompt and courteous. The wait was minimal and the food was satisfying. We three ate our fill and still had leftovers to carry out for later. YES: vegan friendly read more

I'm taking an opportunity to update my review for one of my favorite local restaurants. Food is always consistently good. My favorite Go-To is the Vito's Salad.....shredded lettuce, chopped tomatoes, sliced onions and rolls of deli turkey meat and cheese. Service is awesome if Theresa or Shelby is serving you. Fantastic pizza here - Sal makes the best!! There is also a nice selection of sandwiches and wraps, as well as traditional Italian pasta dishes. There is usually music playing, but not too loud, and also a couple of TVs that are usually tuned to the Cooking Channel. Can't go wrong here!! read more

The one time I had eaten at vitos' restaurant was better than anything I expected... I ordered lasagna, my wife had salad... that lasagna was the very best I had ever eaten... im a lasagna lover... I was so surprised, it's hard to put into words ... if you don't try this restaurant at least once , you loose...also the service is spot on ... their decorations were pleasant and very little background noise... Vitos is a special place... thanks to everyone there... read more

Vito's rocks. Wide variety of Italian foods, pastas, pizzas and salads. Always done right. Their service is through the roof. Quick. Friendly. Attentive and helpful. If you are wanting a fantastic Italian restaurant come here. I eat here once a week. read more

Janel was by far the best waitress ever!! The best personality and very sweet! The food was amazing as well!

Been hiking on the Appalachian Trail and was craving some pizza. A guy parked at the trailhead drove us 35 minutes to this place. The meatloaves pizza was awesome. Ate half of it and packed out the rest for supper. The coffee was very weak and that is why it isn't 5 Stars. read more

Absolutely wonderful. We came to VA for a dirt bike race and ended up eating there twice. We had Pizza, Chicken Parm, Lasagna, Fettuccine Alfredo and cheese cake all were excellent. My favorite part was meeting the women who owns it with her husband. She is a wonderful beautiful person. read more

Love the waitstaff and the Food ,great pizza and subs ,surprisingly good Italian food with good and fresh ingredients ,Food is better eaten in store than take out . We found out during Covid no matter how good the food is ,by the time it gets to you it the styrofoam containers it's steamed and tastes like crap .My go to Italian food in Amherst .Ambiance is clean and bathrooms are taken care of. read more

Excellent! The supreme pizza was perfect, toppings fresh, crust was perfect. Italian and Turkey/bacon/provolone subs were fresh and delicious. And, the homemade potato chips were amazing! read more

Large pepperoni and a basket of fries for us and took an order of mozzarella sticks back to the other kid. Pizza was a little greasy for me but taste was pretty good! Fries were hot and made a great appetizer. Other kid was happy with her mozzarella sticks. Service was casual but right on top of things. You never know what you're going to get when you try a small, local pizza joint - Vito's didn't disappoint! read more

The pizza was SO good! Thin and crunchy just like New Jersey! The wait staff couldn't have been nicer and more helpful. The place itself was really cute, even though it looks like a dive from the outside. The only negative is it gets LOUD in there. People suck sometimes read more

The food is excellent . A large variety of choices, The portions are large enough to have some for the next day. The service is excellent, and the girls are very helpful in describing the meals.

The best pizza place in the Nelson Country area I recommend this restaurant it's very good

My waitress was very sweet but messed up our order and we were expected to cover the mistake, and even the manager declared such. It's worth the drive to Vito's in Amherst. read more

Our go-to place for the best pizza and salad in the area! Their ranch dressing is amazing and homemade!!

Fast service, decent food, good prices. We arrived without calling ahead as a party of 12, and they managed to accommodate us quickly and get us all seated together with our drinks. The food arrived without waiting too long, and it was worth the wait. While the food was nothing original, it was tasty, priced well, and served with a smile. One tip: When looking at their pizza offerings, you may want to save yourself the money and not order their deluxe items, as the toppings were rather scarce. If you go with a simple cheese and pepperoni, that will leave you feeling satisfied that you got exactly what you were paying for. read more

Great food, great service, wonderful clean setting inside. Our favorite Italian restaurant in Nelson County. Located right on Rt 29 in Lovingston. Highly recommend. read more

$30 for a mini pizza and grilled chicken parm over spaghetti . The pizza is bs idk how it's so hard to evenly distribute toppings on such a small pizza. To be excited to get my own lil pizza just for me and end up with what vitos gave me is disappointing. 4 pieces and some don't have any bacon whatsoever. They can't take few extra seconds to distribute ingredients but just lazy and sloppily chunk some in just a few spots. The ham is clumps and then none in other areas. It's sad something so so easy and what you charge so much for you can't actually just do a good job and make a pizza correctly. Living so far once in a while you wanna try to give a place another shot but this is just overpriced and not at all worth it wether it's a splurge or not. Your honestly better off if you want a good Italian meal or pizza is just makin a fun cooking session and doing your own, with most places hurting and doing take out only you would think they would want to ensure you continue to want to come back . I hate to sound like a major B-I n you get the rest but honestly most every time here Iv been disappointed or at least thought it was over priced. It was McDonald's subway or this and today again I made the wrong choice but I really am done at this point it's worth cooking myself or making the drive to Lynchburg, Charlottesville or waynesboro . $30 for 2 menu items and I got some half ass thrown together unappealing rip off excuse for a pizza...just pathetic at this point all the issues Iv encountered with this place. Also idk why the woman even had a COVID mask she didn't have her nose covered. read more

Vito's - $30 for mini pizza and chicken parm over noodles w salad. No drinks nothing else 2 items! - Italian Near Me - Lovingston, Virginia

Great pizza with the perfect ratio of crispy and doughy crust! Fresh and flavorful toppings. We had the Caprese and the Deluxe. Service was great too! Can't wait to return and try the Margharita pizza next! read more

Vito's is a great little find in Lovingston. Inexpensive, and better than you can find in the larger surrounding cities. Shelby is an awesome server, and Sal keeps the food quality consistent across the menu. Good specials for lunch! read more

Arrived 20 minutes after placing our order online, and when we arrived, they hadn't even started our order. There were only 4 tables occupied in the restaurant. Asked about their 10% off first orders and was told they can't do anything about it. They don't know how to work their system. Standing here hoping that the 45 min. pricy pizzas are quite delicious as their customer service stinks! read more

If Monty is cooking you cannot beat the Chicken Marsala! One of our favorite go to's! Great employees, always friendly and they keep the place clean and wonderful desert options! read more

We are lifelong local Vito's fans, but they're losing some of their mojo. Sal has always made the best chicken fettuccine Alfredo in town, but truth be told, without him it's not worth the nearly $20 per order (without a side salad, which is now $2 up charge-I'm sorry WHAT?). They've also always made a special calzone for me with mozzarella cheese and pasta sauce mixed together, in fact it's so incredibly good it should be on the menu as a regular item, and they nail it every time...however as of tonight, that order is no longer allowed? What is happening to one of our favorite local restaurants? No longer. Sal, what's happening?!?! read more

I don't know which factors contributed to this poor experience but my family (wife and two children under 3) walked in for dinner and waited to be seated. 3 minutes later, waitress said we could sit anywhere and she would bring us booster seats. After 15 minutes waiting by a table with kids on our laps and no one coming up to check on us or give us booster seats, we decided to leave. During that time the waitresses came out two times and one time she kept looking in our direction. I'm sure the food may be good and this could be a one time situation but anyone who has two toddlers that are wiggly and hungry know that it was very frustrating. We ended up eating at McDonalds... read more

Slightly better than average American-style Italian food. Better than most places in either Lynchburg or Charlottesville, but it's not "fancy" Italian so I won't hold it to that standard. Pizza is OK, paninis are good, and I have never tried the pasta here, but it looked OK. read more

Nice little place, with really good pizza. Dough tasted homemade, with a really good crisp on the bottom. Tons of ingredients on the combo. We also ordered mozzarella sticks, which were very good. The breading was very crunchy, unlike the soggy ones you get most places. Service was also very good and quick. We would definitely go back, and maybe try some of their Italian dishes. Only negative is that if you sit right in the front, you do get a little heat from the pizza oven. Might be nice in the winter, but not so in August. read more

Nice Italian, nicer place than you would expect from looking at the outside. We went for dinner, 4 of us. They had ran out of lasagna, which we were slightly late for dinner. The food was good, a little disappointed to leave hungry after ordering pasta. My waitress even mentioned to the kitchen my plate looked skimpy, it appears the kitchen didn't care. Obviously something management needs to address. A decent selection of craft brewed beers. read more

We stopped on the way back to New Jersey for a quick lunch. We were pleasantly surprised to find that it was an absolutely fantastic fish sandwich. The inside is adorable and the owner is extremely helpful and friendly. We are looking forward to our next trip down to Virginia to stop in again. read more

The food was really good! We had a cheese pizza, meatball sub with homemade chips, mozzarella sticks, and a Grilled Chicken Caesar salad. We stopped by this place on our drive through to northern Virginia. The chicken was seasoned nicely and cooked to perfection. The homemade chips were delicious and the pizza was good. The only thing that had some room for improvement was the waitress. She was a little busy and seemed to be the only one working the dining room at 1:30 on a holiday weekend. We had to share some sips of drinks and she eventually got around to bringing some refills. The food was good enough that I would definitely stop here again. read more

I really hate to give such a poor review of this restaurant because the food is super yummy and the owner really seems to care about his business. I haven't seen him in this location for a while and it seems the customer service is suffering. I've tried to get food here for a couple times in the last month, and the first time, I paid for an extra dressing that wasn't included in my order. It wasn't really a big deal... I mean... 50 cents down the drain for nothing... but still, no big deal. I didn't complain and I certainly wasn't going to drive 20 miles to pick up a missing dressing. The food was good. So I called the other day and tried to order the bacon fries with a blue cheese instead of ranch. The woman on the phone said "well, it comes with ranch, anything extra you'll have to pay for". So I said to her, not rudely but directly, that the last time I did an order through them I had paid for an extra dressing that hadn't been included and asked if, considering that had happened, I could just have a blue cheese instead of a ranch. I mean, I don't know why substituting a dressing is a big deal anyways. I think the young woman who took my order had little or no training in customer service, to be frank. I mean, she was basically hassling me over a dressing. She went on to ask "but didn't you call!?"... "If something is wrong you have to call to let us know"... I told her I didn't call because it wasn't a big deal. It really wasn't, but she turned it into one. She said she'd do it for me this one time but that next time I needed to call to let them know if something was wrong with my order. At this point I was hesitant to even go pick up my order. I was afraid she was going to be rude to me and make a scene. Lordy. The thing is, if you pay for an extra dressing here, chances are they won't put it in. Also, it's dressing, not gold. I mean, I understand food costs but is it a good idea to put a regular customer off by being pushy over it? I don't think so. I think that's poor customer service. I had already placed the order so I did go into pick it up. That's when things got even worse. I walked to the register to get the order I'd placed and the young woman at the register said "you know, we're totally out of French fries"... haha, really? Seriously? She asked me if I wanted something else, and I really didn't. I was going to make burgers and just wanted to grab a side to go with them. I don't like onion rings, didn't want cheese sticks, sigh. She said "I don't know who took your order but they should have let you know we're out of fries". :( Oh lordy. What an awful experience all around. I really like the food there, I do, and everyone has always been friendly and customer service oriented, but that last experience was awful enough, that I don't think I'll go back. I work hard for my money and I don't believe in paying to be given a hard time. I don't think I'll go back for fear a similar situation will occur. So, I guess that one girl created a debacle over a 50 cent dressing and a 6 dollar order of fries that lost the restaurant a loyal regular customer. I may go back if I'm begged by my friends who like eating there.... If I do, I'll update this review to reflect that experience. Sadly, the last one I had, was just awful. read more

A great little place in a small town! Service is always prompt and friendly, and the pizza is very good!

Sal has opened his second location in Nellysford on Rt 151. I had dinner there last Tuesday. The parking lot was full and the restaurant busy but we had no wait and were seated promptly. He has transformed the old building into a very cozy and comfortable space. We met some friends from out of town there and enjoyed a leisurely dinner. I had the fresh cod on a bed of spinach topped with mushrooms. It was outstanding and at $16 including a salad quite reasonable. His menu is extensive and there are about 12 beers on tap including some local brews. read more
