If you're looking for delicious authentic Italian food, Vittorios is the place. It's a nice cute little restaurant located in the corner of a strip mall near the Vons Grocery store, but don't let that fool you. The inside is very posh with white table cloths and nicely dressed waiters. It's a hidden gem that's been around for a while with what appears to be very loyal repeat customers. The food is delicious, the service is impeccable and the tiramisu is to die for. I'll definitely be back read more

I was excited to try this place. It was busy on a Thursday night. However, i made a reservation so i got seated right away. We ordered our drinks and food as soon as a waitress came. We got our complimentary bread and bruschetta shortly. We waited for a while and had to ask about the wine we ordered. Apparently the waitress forgot about it. We waited for another 30 - 45 min and finally got our dishes. During that time, no one came to ask if we needed anything or missed anything. Needless to say, they need to improve their service. We got two pasta dishes and a veal parm. The pasta dishes were too salty for our taste and pasta was very chewy. We were not impressed with the taste and the quality. As such, we decided not to try their dessert. read more

Lasagna?, Mancotta? Lobster Ravioli?.... You Like???? Any pasta at all is 50% off every Sunday & Monday! Excellent staff and service, they all work in unison to bring you an enjoyable dining experience. As they have done for my wife and me over these past six years, give or take. Plenty of good, easy parking. The food here is very nice. Easy on the wallet, too. read more

A long standing restaurant in our area, and an icon for Italian food in the 92127 area. Service is excellent, and there is good variety of offerings on the menu. Go Monday/Tuesday for half priced pasta day...a real bargain. read more

Returned for lunch with a friend and our grandson. First customers of the day. I took advantage of the 1/2 bottle of wine ordering a Banfi Chianti. We started with 2 orders of calamari and a beef carpaccio. Delicious. My Grandson had the classic spaghetti while I had the Fra Diavolo withe shrimp. My wife and our friend split a Fra Diavolo and lobster ravioli with black mussels. For dessert I had 3 cannolis, our grandson had.cheese cake, our friend had the chocolate lava cake and my wife had chocolate mousse. All the food was fantastic. Service was top notch. The ambiance is relaxed and peaceful. Definitely one of the best Italian restaurants in San Diego. read more

This has been our neighborhood go to Italian spot for over 20 years. We stopped in yesterday about 4:00 for early dinner. Food and service were good. The downside was the lack of sufficient A/C. It was sweltering outside and the A/C was just not making much of a difference inside the restaurant. It was soooo hot and uncomfortable making it difficult to enjoy our dinner. Not sure where they had the thermostat set. But, it was definitely not adequate. read more

Nice guys unite! Popped in for a lunch with a price fix menu, and food was very good! Perfectly tender salmon and flavorful potatoes and veg. Ambiance is stripmall chic, service was prompt and friendly, and prices were good! read more

Vittorio's is a hidden gem that has become one of our go-to Italian restaurants and for good reason. We've been coming here regularly for quite some time and every visit reminds us why we keep coming back. The food is consistently delicious, the atmosphere is warm and welcoming, and the service always feels personal. Their Tuesday Date Night Special is an absolute steal. It's not just a bargain, it's a full-on culinary experience. From appetizers to dessert, everything is thoughtfully prepared and generously portioned. It's rare to find a place that feels like home while still making each visit feel special. read more

This place has lasted a long time in this location but I think it's pretty mid at this point. For some reason, they got rid of the eggplant parm, which was their best vegetarian dish. One of the elders in my family still loves their tomato sauce so we get takeout from here every once in a while, but I don't get too excited about it! I got the salmon tonight with mashed potatoes, tomato sauce, vegetables, and capers. It was OK, but not anything I'd go out of my way to order. And I used to love this dish here! read more

Nice little place tucked away in a shopping center with plenty of parking and a handful of other little shops. My husband and I came on a Sunday night and it wasn't too crowded. There's a back room and a front part with plenty of seating. The service was great. We got complimentary bread and marinara before our meals and the waiters were prompt and polite. The bread was delicious. It came warm with a nice crunchy exterior but soft on the inside. The marinara was a touch spicy and very tomatoey. We also asked for some butter which came warm and easy to spread. For our meals we got a cream sauce pasta with mushrooms and sausage and a pizza with sausage, ham, peppers, and onions (the Vittorio's). The pasta was delicious. The sauce was creamy and earthy from the mushrooms and it came with a good amount of delicious Italian sausage. The pizza was smaller than I expected but had a lot of toppings. It tasted okay for me, but not my favorite pizza ever. We originally chose to come here to use some of our synergy gift cards, however when we got our check we found out it was half off pastas! We couldn't use the gift cards, which is fine because half off pasta was a great deal in itself. They told us they have half off pastas every Sunday and Monday night and a few other deals throughout the week. Wish we knew it was half off pasta so we could've gotten two instead of a pizza! Definitely will be back for more pastas! read more

Excellent Italian place with great ambiance and a menu that will entice you. Try a few dishes and share Italian style.

Came for dinner on weeknight and were seated immediately. Service, as usual, was prompt and solicitous. We had the salmon with sautéed veggies and a side of sautéed spinach. Delicious! We come here every time we're in town! read more

very good local Italian cuisine. Has been there a long time. Everything there indicates Care and pride. Reasonably priced Bottle wine list for the quality. Careful with the Yelp photos, they're nice, they're real but once in a great while it looks like the titles might've been guessed by the customer. Double check with your waiter he'll set you straight. I'm looking forward to finding and trying some of the other entrées read more

We tried once and loved it so much we went back two weeks later. The bartender is great and I love the sausage pasta with a white sauce. Go on Sunday so pasta is half price! read more

Review for their Tuesday special! Friends and I came in for dinner and we picked this place because it was in between our houses. We discovered their Tuesday special and will be back. Two small plates of their Caeser salad, Choice of entree per person(meat lasagna, ravioli, chicken dish, or lemoni salmon), and a bottle of house wine to share. All for about $42! The food was pretty good too! They brought our complimentary bread with marinara as well. Another friend ordered spaghetti Bolognese and it was a huge portion for about $20. Our server Martin took great care of us too. read more

Plenty of parking in the plaza and we were promptly seated. There weren't too many people so the service was pretty efficient. The atmosphere was very nice with high ceilings. They provided complimentary bread. We got the artichokes as an appetizer. It was flavorful and tender without being too sour as it is sometimes. My husband's linguine was great and he loved the shrimp. My sister in law's mushroom ravioli was really good although the ravioli was a little too al dente. The 3 star is because of my own dish. I ordered the Pappardelle al Ragu di Costolette Corte. It called to me from the menu and I was so excited to try it because I love short rib. When my dish was set down, it wasn't pappardelle. And there was what looked like a meat sauce. And the waiter who placed it down said "the bolognese". So I said I ordered the pappardelle al ragu. He took it away. A few minutes later, some pappardelle was placed down in front of me with the same looking meat sauce. So I asked if this was the ragu, and he said yes. Now I didn't want to argue so I just accepted this pasta dish. The pappardelle was a little on the soft side, bolognese was fine, but I didn't appreciate being lied to about that pasta dish. read more

First of all, the service was excellent. The staff is very attentive. They are very friendly. Most of all, they are so very helpful. We had an instance where we needed some extra care and they stepped right up and took care of the issue. It was fantastic. The bread that they serve before the meal is wonderful. The marinara that they used to dip The bread is very good. In fact, it is so good that we wonder why they don't use it as gravy for their dishes. The gravy that they used for both their lasagna and their chicken Parm was different. It was a little watery and had a completely different taste. Their wine list was very nice. We got a very nice glass of Chianti to go with our dinner. Their prices are very reasonable. In fact, we thought they were downright pleasant considering what we have paid in other restaurants. My only issue is the gravy. It just was not what I was expecting. read more

A good neighborhood place. I would stick to pizza and pastas. The fried calamari was not fresh. Do not order that. Cozy for a family dinner

Always a good local choice. A warm environment, and the food never disappoints. Topping the meal off with a tiramisu and a cup of coffee. The service is always on point. So an affordable Italian meal that local, you can't go wrong. read more

AMBIANCE!!! I searched all over San Diego for the perfect restaurant for a very special occasion... Looked in Del Mar, Rancho Santa Fe, Carlsbad, etc. Ended up doing what my wife suggested to begin with... Made reservations at Vittorios! Why? Because the atmosphere is not your typical cold, soulless, bright, corporate feel, instead you will be greeted by the owner himself and welcomed into a warm, cozy, and comfortable dining experience . Small formal dining room in the front (recommended) less formal in the back. Make reservations for a window seat... That's our favorite!! read more

The Cioppino is now $29.75. I should have read the previous reviews because the quality and flavor of the cioppino was highly disappointing. Most of the small clam shells were empty and the mussels were small. There were two pieces of shrimp and a few more calimari rings. The soup tasted like canned tomato soup with garlic and basil added. Should have ordered a pizza instead. read more

Been a Vittorios customer for years and the food has been consistently my favorite at North County/Rancho Bernardo area. My to-go order has been fairly quick (20-min wait). The greeter kept me in good company and definitely didn't feel like I waited for too long. Calamari Dorati was a great appetizer. I finished everything before getting to the entree Rigatoni Bolognese, which was really meaty and what a way to end with the food coma. read more

Ordered delivery. The soup was pure oil and maybe a bit of tomato sauce from a can with some undercooked, crunchy vegetables floating in it and no seasoning at all. I couldn't figure out what all the oil was for because the veggies weren't even cooked. So bland and oily it went in the trash. Meatballs were okay but they were in a very watery, unseasoned tomato sauce, definitely not marinara, that seemed like it was just poured straight out of the same can of tomato sauce they used for the soup. They should be embarrassed to call this Italian food. One star for the bread which was good and one star for the meatballs. read more

Celebrated a birthday for one of our friends. I ordered the shrimp Diablo with linguini. Sauce was very tasty especially with fresh shaved Parmesan cheese. They also use the jumbo shrimp and the linguini was al dente. Our servers were great. Food arrived in no time and they also had fresh bread. This place can be somewhat romantic. It's a good date place. I'll have to return next time to try their linguini with clams. read more

First of all, our server, Lexie was fantastic. I realize that I was a bit of a pain in the bottom Customer a few nights ago because I forgot to tell her that when I ordered the popper Del, I didn't want any meat. That was my fault, but she still had it made with a mushroom cream sauce that I requested. So that brings me to my point that's really nice about this restaurant. If you wanna switch sauces, you can just ask your server. I realize my punctuation and cuss and capitalization is off. that's due to my phone, but she was very attentive and even though we had a situation with the Coke machine not being very fizzy she brought a Diet Coke, canned my husband I had more bread and a certain, and the food came out in a reasonable amount of time. They were pretty busy for a Tuesday night and I'm celebrating a birthday and my husband made a reservation and we had a wonderful meal and yes, we would go back. read more

Great service with friendly and knowledgeable staff, amazing food, and nice clean restaurant. Favorite date night spot

Came here for a last minute Sunday night dinner because we saw they had great reviews and wanted to try it out. There's a reason they're so well reviewed. Had such a lovely dinner! The service was incredible and attentive. Our server was very informative on the menu and specials of the evening. On sundays they do half off bottles of wine! Food was delicious and the portions were plentiful. The restaurant had a warm and cosy feel, which I always am drawn to. Great spot! Plenty of parking outside as it is in a shopping center. read more

My spouse and I have been going to Vittorio's for several years now and it is time to write a review. It is not just the delicious food that draws us to Vittorios, although there is no doubt that everything is well prepared, generous, and delicious, it is also the service and ambience. Whenever we arrive, we are warmly greeted either by Vittorio or by the friendly and professional servers at the restaurant. We are seated and immediately given delicious, warm bread and asked for our order. We are never rushed, nor are we ever ignored. The table cloths are pristine, the glasses shimmer, the ambience is serene, and the service is excellent, and we feel well taken care of. There is always laughter heard from those seated at the bar, and that adds to the experience. All of the servers are truly wonderful, and whenever Martin is assigned to our table, we enjoy his kindness, patience and care. We did not know until recently that even our dog is welcome as there is a table outside as it is always fun to have him with us. As someone else wrote, Vittorio's is indeed a "hidden gem" and when you go there, it is more than a delightful dining, it is a warm and inviting experience. read more

You cannot beat the Tuesday night special. Two meals, a salads, and wine for $44. It is so chill and relaxed but with napkins that are real and the food is amazing. This is hands down my favorite restaurant. I love that the food is so good. The warm bread. The chicken parm. It is the best neighborhood restaurant in the world. The service is top notch. It just makes me feel at home but at home if you were surrounded by people to bring you water and make you amazing meals. read more

Easy parking. Large place. Attentive service. Reasonable prices. Generous portions. Many of dishes were based on some red sauce. So, think traditional dishes. As for specifics, the calamari appetizer missed the mark- was chewy and not tasty. But the pizza was great, specially the crust. The angel hair pasta with garlic, tomato and basil was good. read more
