Great local tailor! Had fun chatting with Vito about my upcoming travel to Italy. He was able to do my dress in the timeframe I needed and it didn't cost more than the dress. It was shortened perfectly and beautifully pressed when I picked it up. read more

Bought a couple of tops that weren't available in petite. Love them, but the sleeves were way too long (I'm 4'10"!). After seeing several mentions on Yelp as well as my town's Facebook page, I brought them into Vito's. It's an old-fashioned, typical tailoring shop. You don't see those much anymore. The owner was super nice and friendly. They did a great job on my tops, and the price was reasonable. Will use again! read more

Professional tailor lovely man easy location open 6 days the quality of work will bring you back

I've had only excellent experiences here. On my first visit, Vito explained why the alteration I asked for was not a good idea. I respect that he turned away a job because he thought it shouldn't be done. A few months later I brought in a jacket that I wasn't wearing because the 1980's cut had become quite out of style. Vito re-made the shoulders and now I wear it regularly again. Next, I brought in an overcoat to get the sleeves shortened. Because it has a special detail on the sleeves, I brought it first to a high-end tailor downtown. That tailor said he couldn't do it and sent me to a tailor in Watertown. The tailor in Watertown said it would be $300 and would be ready in five months. Vito did it perfectly in three weeks for $80. I will be back. read more

I read so many good reviews about this place but was disappointed when my garment came back still not fitting me right. Maybe Vito is losing his touch. Also cash only is old school read more

This is as good as it gets for a tailor. Old school talents that are really hard to find nowadays. This isn't just a hem, cuff or button this is full on craftsmanship. My wife needs just about everything altered for work and would go nowhere else. Being new to Melrose 20 years ago it took a while to find him, but she has been a loyal customer for well over a decade. As said else where I also agree - he has never been anything but friendly, accommodating, and professional. read more

Vito's should be your new favorite tailor shop. I needed a prom dress altered. A friend informed me of this shop's good reputation, though she had not had tailoring done here. This dress had some frilly embellishments I thought would be a problem. Not at all. Quality work, completed on time and reasonable prices. Now I will never go anywhere else for tailoring. read more

Very Good quality work! Attentive to customer's concerns. Does not hurry customers.

He is amazing at his craft! Brought jeans and a skirt there after having a horrible experience with another tailor. Vito has incredible talent and the clothes were altered perfectly! I brought in two more skirts immediately. He took the time to give me an honest assessment of how much altering I could do, advised me about how the skirt might look different and ultimately agreed to try out what I wanted. I'll update the review if they don't turn out well, but based on my past experience with him, I have very high hopes. :-) read more

Will never go to another tailor again, Vito is truly an artist. Loved the work he did so much I went through my closet and brought more pieces. He is always ready when he says he is, just give him a call beforehand. Brought a pretty cheap dress from revolve to him and he treated it like the nicest garment and perfectly altered it and took his time to make sure I was happy with the look of it. Then Took nice leather pants to him and again perfectly tailored and made sure all of the alterations needed were made. Wonderful service and even a better person.. thank you Vito!! read more

I didn't even get my dress hemmed because this man was so rude! Not professional, not welcoming, asked me why I waited so long to arrange to get my dress hemmed, then when I asked for a price quote and didn't agree with it he told me to take my take my business elsewhere and that I wasn't a good customer and wasn't going to be pleased! Hello I wasn't even a customer yet. I am sorry that I want to look nice and make sure that my dress is ready within a reasonable amount of time! I needed my dress hemmed and steamed for a wedding and needed to know when it would be ready and also if I needed to take the dress to be steamed elsewhere. All these questions frustrated him- I guess he is not used to making customers feel comfortable and happy about his work. Oh well! read more

Vito is a class act. I've gotten two suits tailored here and he does a great job. Prices are average, and expect about a week to complete an order. Perhaps if you need your article of clothing sooner he can do the job a little faster. With over 40 years in this location, you don't find someone with this much experience at such a great price. read more

This is the worst place I have been to. Keep making mistakes and then refuses to fix item. Do yourself a favor and find another place. Owner is rude and absolutely no talking to him. read more

We have used Vito's for any tailoring work for 30 years. He is the kindest, happiest man. We are actually happy when we have something to take to him. Work is always done right and Vito works with your schedule. Just wonderful! read more

My family and I have been coming here for years. Vito is a very nice man and does a great job. Reasonable prices. Wouldn't consider going any where else!! read more

I've been coming to Vito for 12 years. Vito is a true professional and his work is top notch. I value his opinion because he will tell me the truth about whether a piece I am bringing in is worth altering. He has never steered me wrong and I enjoy working with him. He has never been anything but friendly, accommodating, and professional. read more

Vito has been performing tailoring services for men and women for decades, real old school craftsmanship that is near impossible to find.... a dying art. If you want a true artist to repair or alter a garment, he is the person to see..... He has been doing my alterations for 40+ years ! read more
