Looking for a new favorite winter date night spot? Good news: your search is over, because Vittoria checks literally all the boxes. 

Large fireplaces for a guaranteed cozy evening? Check. 

Tuscan-style setting so you can feel transported to Italy? Check. 

Extensive wine list? Absolutely. It’s heavy on carefully selected Italian wines (obviously), but with some New World options too.

And the food? Incredible. They’ve got all the housemade pastas from gnocchi to ravioli. The current head chefs are twins who worked under the current owner’s father for 20 years. They absolutely know what they’re doing, and it shows in every bite.

A word of warning: don’t fill up too much on the delicious bread and olive oil they serve with your drinks. You’re gonna want to save room for your main (and dessert). They’ve got this perfect blend of modern and traditional Italian favorites, so there’s something for everyone.

Our favorite? The one-pound lasagna, made in house daily. Because you can’t argue with that. 

If you’re in the mood for something a little meatier, go for the Buckeye Steak with the gorgonzola bacon crust. It’s served on a bed of parmesan risotto with a side of pancetta brussel sprouts. Yep, we’re drooling already.

It’s a good thing that we’ve all got a separate stomach for desserts, because they’ve got all the classics. Tiramisu. Cannoli. Gelato. Yes please. Plus several types of cheesecake, including their iconic limoncello. Speaking of, they’re kind of obsessed with Limoncello here, and honestly, same. They even make their own housemade creamy version of Italy’s favorite after-dinner drink. Think of it as dessert in a cup. Sipping on one is honestly the perfect way to end an elegant night.

Luckily, they’re open for dinner every night of the week. Any night can be a Vittoria night. Pro tip: come for happy hour (Monday through Friday between 4-6:30 pm) to enjoy some extra special deals. As you might imagine, they get busy, so you’ll want to make a reservation. So grab your favorite dining partner, make your resy, and get ready to make all your Italian dreams come true.
