  Vitaly is Love, Vitaly is home!! I adore the changing menu. I've been coming here for years to enjoy the fresh pasta, it's amazing! I had the squid ink pasta and it was perfection! I love all the desserts, the coffee, and the service! All of it! Whenever I'm in the area this is my go-to spot. As always it costs zero dollars to be kind...So be nice! The owner is passionate about the food menu he curates and always offers recommendations. Listen to him! You won't regret it.

  Great food but service could use some improvement. I arrived and was told I can sit anywhere and a waiter would come out to help me in a bit. I waited about 15 min before the waiter came out with just the menus, which wouldn’t be a problem if it was busy, but there was only two other people there, who were there before me and seemed like they had been waiting a while too. The salad was great! It reminds me of a salad I had in little Italy, San Diego. The pasta was good too, it was a bit hard but had good flavor. 8/10 would return again.

  After a long flight from. Indiana - we were famished. Pretzels 🥨 do not meet true nutritional needs. We had great expectations with poor results in our first and probably last dining experience at Vitaly’s. The other online reviews had made us believe we were getting a five star ⭐️ meal. Sadly we did not agree with the other reviewers. Their chicken soup is what brought us in - but it was a mushy purée instead of a warm delicious creation. The Squash soup was also runny and left us wondering what happened! No garnishments, seasonings or attempts to make a positive impression. The only bright part of our meal was the Grizzly Salad 🥗 complete with smoked salmon, greens, tomatoes 🍅 and sliced avocados 🥑 Unfortunately, there was no dressings offered (other than the bottles of oil & vinegar on the table). Apparently they do have some delicious pasta / and also known for their gelato. But we didn’t choose any of these selections. The staff was initially inattentive and non-responsive. We did get them to take our order after sitting for about 10 minutes. Not sure if we should have known that. I would recommend they focus on improving their quality of preparation and presentation. Until then - I would suggest trying other dining establishments.

  AMAZING! We had a waitress who was absolutely fantastic. She could pronounce everything perfectly. I actually mistook her for the manager because she was that great. I had the special of squid ink pasta. Do not be afraid, it was unbelievably amazing! I also had several samples of gelato. 10/10. I will be going back.

  Tortellini was delicious!! Very authentic handmade pasta. Gabriele creates a very inviting atmosphere to the place.
