Another wonderful restaurant! Really friendly staff, superb food (Portuguese Sardines, Plaice and arugula salad), excellent wine, nice atmosphere, clean and modern. Would highly recommend!
A lovely small family run Italian restaurant with a good atmosphere. Very friendly staff with a good sense of humour. We went there to celebrate my daughter's birthday and we would love to go back again in the future. I recommend anyone to go there.
We love this gem of an Italian. Fabulous food & service..Great pizzas and pastas but also lots of meat & fish and varied specials. Generous portions & good value. Don’t hesitate to recommend.
Very friendly staff with good food and wine. What more do you want?!
October 2023: remains as good as ever
Really good food, service and atmosphere. Prices also very fair plus a good selection of 'daily dishes'
A very cosy local Italian with good home home cooked food. Having lived in Ashtead 31 years, I had never been but will definitely be back.
A recommendation & could not have been happier, what a delightful place! Super food with more than generous portions....We had to bring some home. Sublime authentic flavours...A lovely evening with friendly & professional hosts. We have already booked to return.
Great food and wine. George is an excellent host!
This was my 2nd time returning back here.
The food is amazing and staff are friendly and helpful.
Proper Italian food made by proper Italians!
The food is full of flavours, we keep coming back over and over, the wine is very good too, highly recommend 👍🏼
Very nice little Italian restaurant. Great food and the staff make you feel at home. Will definitely be going again.
We had a super evening here last night with delicious fresh food. I’m gluten free and enjoyed a gf pasta dish. The staff are really friendly and funny which added to the evening banter. Highly recommend!
A nice neighbourhood restaurant with an astonishingly good value set lunch menu (except for vegetarians,, hence only four stars, had to go a la carte). Honest food with good portions, no complaining when we suggested the wine (by the glass) was a bit past its best, nice service. Will definitely go there again (hopefully with a veggie alternative on the set menu)
Excellent staff, lovely home cooked style Italian food and perfect setting, where you can talk and be heard. Looking forward to visiting again and trying something else on the menu. Too many nice choices for 1 visit.
A fantastic, family run Italian restaurant. We found ourselves in Ashtead with a couple of hours spare early evening and thought we'd give Zia Vitalia a try. I'm so glad we did. The food was fabulous. As well as the standard menu there was plenty to choose from the specials board with the option of different sauces or styles of cooking. The food arrived quickly, the service was attentive and friendly and prices reasonable. Sadly not local to us but we will definitely return when in the area. Highly recommended.
saltimbocca alla romana on demand! Anything better? Yummy!!
We've been here a couple of times and have had a great experience on both occasions. The food was fantastic, the atmosphere was lovely, and the service was brilliant.
My three and a half year old loves it at Zia Vitalia, the waiter has always got time to talk and joke with him and the chef came out to talk to him the first time, which he thought was amazing!
I would heartily recommend Zia Vitalia - it's really important that we support local, family-run, non-chain restaurants. We've just booked a big birthday party here, so are really looking forward to it all over again.
We like this small, unpretentious, traditional family-run Italian restaurant. There's usually a lively atmosphere and the quality of the food is consistently good. I give Costa full marks particularly because he cooks vegetables just as I like them! Occasionally they can be rather busy at weekends. His charming wife Serena is often on duty as waitress, always smiling cheerfully although she must be feeling tired when they have a lot of bookings. We're glad to see how popular they are because that must mean our village won't lose this lovely little eatery any time soon.
George and the team never fail to please. The food is simply great, menu covers all the bases but they're happy to go off piste. Service is always friendly, great welcome.
