This place is on North May Avenue in Oklahoma City. We had dinner there with good friends this evening, and had a great time.
We got there around 1815, late due to the rain and traffic, and our friends had the table for us already. Vito’s was about half full. It’s not a large place.
The appetizers include really good bread, and garlic olive oil and balsalmic vinegear to be dipped in.
I got fettucine alfredo, and they added sauteed chicken to it (it’s not on the menu that way). It was pretty good. The alfredo was creamy but not as rich as I’ve had before, but it was good. It did not have the odd aftertaste you get in some alfredo. The chicken was in several big chunks, but that was easily remedied.
We all got Ceasar salads – they were excellent. I really enjoyed the perfect dressing.
Raegan got the salmon and liked it. It was too much for one sitting so it went home as lunch for tomorrow. Erin got steamed mussels and lliked them. Ian liked his also.
Our friends Trace and Jackie and the kids all seemed to like theirs also. I don’t remember what everyone had, except that Jackie had meatballs in hers, and the piece of meatball I tried was good.
We got a variety of dessets since it was Friday, my chocolate cake was good, Raegan liked the cheesecake.
One thing that was really nice – they had live entertainment. A guy sat up front and sang American standards. We requested Bewitched, Bothered, and Bewildered and Mack the Knife. The singer had a really good voice. He had a computer with the background music to sing along with.
One gripe – the tea is weird, apricot-flavored. Ack.
We finished and left around 1945. I don’t know what the check was since we were treated (it’ll be our turn next time). The place filled up right after we got there, and there was a line of people at the door from then until we left. It’s a small area, maybe 900 sqft.
A good experience. The service was outstanding, and the staff was wonderful. I would not mind going to Vito’s again. They just need to get some real tea!
