Old- school fine dining in an elegant setting, with experienced wait staff who provide impeccable service. Definitely feels like a special occasion kind of place, and the food is amazing. One guest we took there recently said it was the best meal he ever had. Very nice atmosphere, too.

This is a nice Italian restaurant in Santa Monica by the business park. The atmosphere is old school and cozy and they have a nice outdoor area too. The food is really good and there are a good variety of dishes. I had the zuppa di pesce which was delicious - a must try! The service was great quick and prompt. And don't forget to have the bread! So definitely a great place to visit!

The food is excellent, especially the Spaghetti de la Casa, which is a standout with its perfectly cooked pasta and flavorful sauce. The service is top-notch and adds to the overall charm of the place. Vito offers a special dining experience that's hard to find elsewhere in LA.
