Vittoria Ristorante & Bar doesn’t just serve up silky, homemade pasta and mouthwatering steaks charred perfection. They provide a night out you won’t forget any time soon.
The door swings open, you get the warm hello, and suddenly you’re transported to a place whose warmth and charm feels old-school, but execution is polished and modern. Vittoria is the kind of Italian, family-run spot you’d expect in a Scorsese film—minus the mobsters, extortion, and Robert De Niro (although never say never).
Water appears without asking, and the plates land like they were timed to your specific appetite. You’re not managing a night out, you’re being hosted, with your only worry being which red you should pair with your beautiful Buckeye Steak. If you’re having the kind of week where you need a big, uplifting, metaphorical hug—this is it, served with a warm side of complimentary bread.
Old World Classics with a Modern Twist
Speaking of food… the portions here are generous and comforting. Their famous 1-lb Lasagna—homemade pasta layered with Bolognese sauce, mozzarella, ricotta, Parmesan, and fresh tomato sauce—is a prime example (and next day’s lunch).
Not in a pasta mood? There’s plenty of other classic Italian or Italian-inspired entrees to choose from, like their Chilean Seabass in a white wine lemon sauce or their Marsala Filet Mignon paired with mushrooms, broccoli, and buttery smashed potatoes.
Before you chow down on a main dish, however, we highly recommend starting strong with an order of Arancini di Risotto. Italian for “little oranges,” arancini are a Sicilian staple that consist of risotto, cheese, and traditionally a meat sauce. Vittoria’s are hand-rolled, with Fontinella in the middle, and red sauce for dunking (no meat). They’re basically cheesy, deep-fried rice balls… What’s not to love?
We’re also obsessed with their lump crab cakes that come with a velvety lobster sauce and lemon aioli. Much like the arancini, they disappear from the table at an alarming speed. And, that’s ok. Nothing to be ashamed about. Just don’t forget to breathe.
The space itself is just as inviting as their food, with painted Tuscan murals and a couple fireplaces that create a warm, flattering glow whether you’re in the lively lounge or spacious dining room—the perfect winter backdrop for conversations (and meals) you don’t want to end.
Weekly Deals: The Perfect Excuse to Go Out
For starters (literally), Vittoria offers Happy Hour Mon–Fri, 4–6:30 pm. Cheaper apps and cheaper cocktails to keep the after-work debrief… cheaper. Plus, you now have a great excuse to go out on a weeknight.
Party it Up
Be the hero, not the dish-doer. Vittoria’s private dining gives you the celebration without the scramble—perfect for birthdays, work wins, rehearsal dinners, and any special occasion. You bring the guest list, they handle the room, pacing, and plates.
If you’re short on bandwidth, you can also go the catering route. All you have to do is pick it up, accept the compliments, and pretend it was hard.
They also offer special Holiday events, like they’re doing this Christmas Eve with three seatings at 4:00, 6:30, and 8:30 pm for festive food, drinks, and of course, holiday cheer. The vibe with the fireplaces and decorations? On point. Events like these book up fast, so reserve your table ASAP if you’re looking to give Ol’ Saint Nick the gift of gnocchi instead of cookies this year.
Don’t Sleep on this Place
When you dine at Vittoria, you eat well (obviously), you feel looked after (naturally), and you leave with the rare combo of full, relaxed, and a little smug you picked the right spot.
