We live in the SF Bay Area but when friends/family come visit we try & visit beautiful Monterey and Carmel. Tourists, us included, not knowing the best restaurants in the area usually hit the ones on Fishermans' Wharf and the main street of Ocean Ave in Carmel. For last few years we've passed by Vito's in quaint Pacific Grove &... more

Vitos is by far our (my husband and I) favorite restaurant in the Monterey area...Sometimes the service is slow, but it is truly a family run operation and WELL worth the wait.

The gnocchi are wonderful, melt in your mouth. The Veal parmigiana is also very tasty! Very good homemade pastas! more

One of our family's favorite "special dinner" spots! Relaxing and welcoming atmosphere, and excellent food! I LOVE the cream basil ravioli! more

A family run italian restaurant in an unassuming shopping center. Wonderful staff - all related - and excellent food. The side of pasta that accompanies the entrees is worth the trip alone. An exceptional experience! more
