We had a family meal last night. A party of ten ranging in age from 12 to 80. The service was excellent from start to finish. The staff were friendly. Garlic bread with cheese and tomato was pizza size so good for sharing. My brother enjoyed scallops from the specials board.
Four of the party had lamb for main and said it was beautiful, not an ounce of fat. I had a vegetarian aubergine dish which was gorgeous! House red and white wine very nice too. Desserts were really good. I had profiteroles, others had tiramisu or icecream/sorbet. Everyone left full and happy. Excellent food and atmosphere.
Vito's is by far the nicest place in sheffield to eat out. It appears a little pricey but worth every penny. First time i visited i was aprehensive as i dont like italian food as a rule as never enjoyed over priced pasta or pizza. But this is much better than that...delectable. The staff are friendly and always helpful...nice family run atmosphere xx
Quality dining at it's best. Not cheap, but a fantastic menu.
Visited Vito's Italian Restaurant tonight for family dinner. As always the food was exquisite, the wine selection was excellent and the atmosphere cosy. It's always our first choice when it comes to dining out. Staff....10/10, polite, professional and helpful. We cannot wait to go back.

Today we had the pleasure of dining at Vito Restaurant and indulging in their mouthwatering T-bone steak. I must say, it was an absolutely delightful experience from start to finish.
First and foremost, the ambiance of the restaurant was warm and inviting. The dim lighting and cozy seating created a perfect atmosphere for a memorable dining experience. The staff greeted us with genuine smiles and were incredibly attentive throughout the evening, ensuring that we had everything we needed.
Now, let's talk about the star of the show - the T-bone steak. It was cooked to perfection, with a beautiful sear on the outside and a juicy, tender center. The quality of the beef was exceptional, and each bite was bursting with flavor. The steak was accompanied by a delectable assortment of sides, including perfectly seasoned roasted vegetables and creamy mashed potatoes, which complemented the dish perfectly.
The presentation of the food was also noteworthy. Each plate was beautifully arranged, showcasing the chef's attention to detail. It was evident that the culinary team at Vito Restaurant takes great pride in their craft.
In addition to the outstanding food, the service at Vito Restaurant was top-notch. The waitstaff was knowledgeable about the menu and provided excellent recommendations. They were also prompt in refilling our drinks and ensuring that we had an enjoyable dining experience.
To top it all off, the dessert selection at Vito Restaurant was simply divine. We couldn't resist trying their homemade cheesecake, and it was the perfect ending to a fantastic meal. The cheesecake was rich, creamy, and had just the right amount of sweetness.
As well they have a diverse selection of wines and other Italian food.
Overall, my experience at Vito Restaurant was nothing short of exceptional. From the warm and inviting ambiance to the impeccable service and, of course, the unforgettable T-bone steak, every aspect of the dining experience was truly remarkable. I highly recommend Vito Restaurant to anyone looking for a memorable meal and a delightful evening.
Vito's is a wonderful restaurant. The staff are professional yet friendly, and Vito's cooking is authentic and delicious. They also cater well for GF options and coeliac allergies. This great restaurant has quickly become my family's favourite place to eat in Sheffield.
This is by far our favourite Italian restaurant that we have been visiting for many years. The owner, Vito, is a true gent and treats you like family with every visit. The food and wine is always spectacular and for those who like a tipple of whisky, well you'll be in for a treat here, as Vito has some of the most tastiest whiskys for you to sample.
Third time my wife and I have visited vitos and once more it didn’t disappoint, it’s only due to work commitments that we don’t go more often, the food is delicious and reasonably priced and the family atmosphere makes the place feel warm and welcoming, the waitress could have been more helpful explaining some of the dishes , had to take some food home with us because we went a bit overboard with starters and side dishes but still left room for dessert. Don’t miss the homemade tiramisu it’s delicious,this place it’s a hidden gem that you’ll definitely revisit

Vito’s Italian had been on my ever-growing list of Restaurants to try for a while, so it was a welcomed nudge when Vito invited me to come and try what he describes as authentic Italian food. Being Italian himself, and heavily involved in all parts of the restaurant, the passion that Vito has for food really comes across in the dishes served here.
The restaurant had a warm, open feeling to it and the bar area feels a little rustic. Our waiter was very friendly and tentative which I love about proper Italian restaurants, the staff always want to make you feel welcome as soon as you walk in.
The specials board that evening included a lot of seafood so I didn’t choose from it this time but I do love seeing a specials board! The menu itself is vast so it took me a while to choose what I wanted, but it’s great to see that Vito’s offers the pasta dishes as a smaller portion for starters too.
For my starter, an unusual choice for me, but I decided to go with Scamozza Al Forno Con Funghi – Oven baked Scamozza cheese with mushrooms, garlic and parsley. A large portion of big, fresh mushrooms lightly cooked and baked in lots of a cheese, far from the soggy, horrible garlic mushrooms you sometimes get on a menu that just leave a sour taste. I don’t often go for mushrooms but I was really pleased with my choice and really enjoyed this starter – so much cheese!
Ben went with a starter portion of the Ravioli Aragosta – Lobster filled ravioli cooked with prawns and a touch of cream. Inside the ravioli was real, fresh, big chunks of lobster. The prawns looked big and juicy too and the dish was presented beautifully. I was tempted to be honest, but I stuck to my guns with choosing not to eat seafood (was the most difficult it’s been since I stopped eating it months ago!). However I am told this dish was perfect and delicious.
It was a tough decision on which Main dish to go for. Vito recommends the traditional Carbonara. BTW don’t offend him by going to his ITALIAN restaurant and asking for an English or practically made up version of Carbonara in a cream sauce or with chicken in it – that is not a Carbonara and not an authentic Italian dish. I couldn’t believe when he told me that he had previous customers asking for it this was and giving a bad review when he said that he did not serve Carbonara in such a way. However, that night the meal that caught my eye most on the menu was Strascinati Con Salsiccia Lucana (nope I couldn’t pronounce it either) – Strascinati (this word comes from the meaning to “pull” as you can see in the shape of the pasta) cooked with homemade sausage meat, tomato sauce, basil and chilli. (Typical pasta from Vito’s hometown). Wow – the dish looked amazing, tasted amazing and it was amazing that I actually ate the whole bowl-full, but I did 😛 Really good choice and right up my street in terms of taste and ingredients.
Ben went for a good old Calzone – Folded pizza filled with ham, mozzarella and tomato, made the traditional Italian way. The dough was perfectly folded and just thick enough that it was lovely and crispy on the outside and still soft on the inside. Fully packed with delicious ingredients, this Calzone did not disappoint, however it just beat him as he was so full. I tried it myself of course and agreed that it was really tasty.
As well as the food going down extremely well, I loved the house red wine too – a Primitivo from the Apulia region, a really smooth wine. I am definitely going to get me a bottle of this for the weekend!
2 alcoholic drinks, 2 starters, 2 mains and some olives to start came to just under £60 which we thought was very reasonable and was superb value for money for the quality of food that we received.
I think this restaurant would be somewhere great to go for a date or with the family for an occasion.

An update from our recent visit. The foods are superb as ever. You'll not find a better classic bruschetta and the calamari was the best we've ever tasted. The seafood linguini was lovely and the homemade sausage pizza was superb. Just left enough room for us to share the wonderful profiteroles :)
Update - This visit to our favourite Italian resturant we decided to go for the Chianina Tuscan T-Bone steak (Chianina Alla Fiorentina).
We've enjoyed Vitos steaks before but the T-Bone is really something else. Imported direct from Italy and has to be special-ordered at least 2 weeks in advance.
Vito marinated the steak with rosemary and garlic for 2 days and cooked it to a prefect medium rare. It was the size of a large dinner plate.
Carved by Vito himself and served with dressed lettuce and roast potatoes (what more do you need...).
The flavour was amazing, suculent and juicy, the best we've ever tasted and that's compairing against the Chateaubriand at the best steak resturant in Manchester.
We even managed to share one portion of profiteroles afterwards.
Our thanks to Vito and his great staff for such an enjoyable and memorable evening.
Vito's is open! This wonderful italian resturant has now reopened and we really enjoyed dining with Vito and all his great staff at the weekend.
The food is as superb as before, fresh and soooooo tasty.
We've already booked our next visit :)
Highly recommend the classic bruchetta and the sea bass - simple dishes, but amazingly tasty!
Vitos has blown us away with every aspect from decor, service and food. We immediately booked again. I've never seen my other half so excited over anything as much as that calzone and my carbonara was made the Italian way without cream 🙂 service was exceptional . Thank you for helping us find our new date night restruant x

Took myself out for dinner and intentionally didn't bring my phone so I could focus completely on my food. But I wish had taken photos!
Waitress very friendly and helpful in helping me decide what to have from the menu. She clearly enjoys the food there which is a good sign. She also explained about the decor of the restaurant & art & photo. The restaurant has a warm homely feel inside, lovely art work, photos of owner/chef's family and fridge magnets from across the world given by his friends from their holidays.
I opted for the Strascinati Con Salsiccia Lucana which the chef said is a pasta from his home city of Potenza. It was served with homemade sausage and a tomato and chilli sauce. I really enjoyed the texture of the pasta, the freshness and flavours of meat and sauce. I ordered a starter size but it was a generous portion!
I also ordered Friarielli/brocoli which is a leafy vegetable more like spinach. It was cooked with garlic and chilli and served few slices of warm fresh bread. I found that the Friarielli has a quite strong bit overpowering so for me it was missing something slightly. My one suggestion was to use more chilli and garlic. Perhaps a bit olive oil and lemon on top. Although my suggestion may come across rude as I'm not a chef or Italian!
The chef came up the say hello to customers and was very chatty. This made it feel like a more intimate and friendly environment
I look forward to trying many more things from the menu - the waitress recommended truffle and Parma ham tortellini, risotto with gorgonzola and pear and many more dish look interesting
The chef definitely puts his heart and soul into his food and restaurant !
Friendly atmosphere and great food. Lots of gluten free and veggie options, highly recommended
Lovely Italian food, cooked well and a good selection of choices. I found the wait staff very friendly and helpful. The room we were in was neat and tidy, but the decor wasn't great in my personal opinion. Also has a bizarre obsession with Peaky Blinders! But a really good Italian restaurant, best I've been to in Walkley and the surrounding area.
Had the first pizza after 3-4 years! That was amazing authentic Italian pizza! Vegeteriana! It tasted like the one I had last time at home! It was like the one someone spends fair amount of time to prepare it, but arrived kn the table quickly! Tastes differently from greasy pizzas! The staff were well mannered and nice. Highly recommended!
An absolute Gem! Popped to Sheffield on a business trip and found this lovely looking Italian - so pleased we did!! Stunning food, very good prices, and great service. I haven’t been to Sheffield for 12 years, but next time I’m back, I’ll be back!!!
Amazing food and amazing customer service !! Vito and his team made my week! This was my first time visiting Vito’s but surely will not be the last time. I went to Vito’s with my friends to try the lobster ravioli and the ravioli was 10/10, no skimping on lobster or on prawns, absolutely delicious. For dessert when I asked the server (another lovely friendly person) if the Tiramisu had alcohol in it , he promptly checked with the chef and told me unfortunately it has alcohol, so my friends ordered the Tiramisu and I skipped. But guess what??The chef/owner(Vito) made a box of alcohol free Tiramisu just for me and he did not even charge me for it even on insisting!!! What a lovely gesture! I cannot express how happy this made me. May your business thrive more Vito! Thank you so much!
Best Italian restaurant we have been to! Highly recommend! We went for my sons 18th, as a group of 15, and everyone loved the food! We will definitely be returning!
A nice Italian with great service. Lovely bottle of prosecco (although not cheap) and some really nice food. On the whole, the food was on the rich side for me, with the creamy truffle sauce quite overpowering. Maybe a matter of taste though
Best Italian food ever tasted accompanied by a bottle of the finest Italian red wine that I’ve not managed to find in Italy so far having travelled to the country regularly over the past 20 years! I’m just so happy that now I have found the real Italian cuisine at my doorstep!
