Vito’s Italian Kitchen - (Near Granbury, TX)

1 /5 Christopher Escalante: I’m honestly not sure if the people leaving these “great” reviews ate at the same place we did. The rolls had absolutely no flavor completely bland. The salads weren’t even good, which is hard to mess up. Still, we tried to stay positive and give the entrées a fair chance. Unfortunately, it only got worse. The chicken parmesan was so rubbery that it couldn’t even be cut with a knife, and it was served cold. I ordered the tortellini, and it also came out cold. The pizza tasted like something straight from a frozen box — nothing fresh or homemade about it. For what we paid, the least they could do is serve hot food. Overall, the entire meal was very disappointing from start to finish. I would not recommend this restaurant to anyone. There are far better options out there where you actually get fresh, flavorful, and properly cooked food. Plus found a hair inside the pasta which is absolutely disgusting.

4 /5 Timothy Dingle: Food 4/5: I had the spicy shrimp and chicken, my wife had the chicken alfredo. Both were borderline a soup. Good flavor, just very runny. We also got the oil dip. 0/5 lol Although you can see seasoning and pepper flakes in it, you wont taste it. We were just dipping our bread in a bowl of olive oil. Service 3/5: We watched others sit after us and get their food way before we got ours. My drink sat on empty for quite a while. Atmosphere 4.5/5: The establishment had a decent vibe. Where we sat was sort of dark. There was a lounge with a pool table that was separate from the eating area.

1 /5 Courtney Krieg: I didn’t see too much of the restaurant, but from what I saw it was clean and tidy… kind of plain and bare though. Pretty cool that there is a pool hall area. We ordered the angel hair with artichokes, spaghetti and meatballs, kids spaghetti, kids pepperoni pizza, two kids sprites, adult soft drink and a “Grand” margarita. The angel hair with artichokes was too oily and has an odd vinegar taste, spaghetti looked amazing but was bland. The kids pizza looked the best and my son approved. The margarita was terrible, I barely got two sips down and had to ask for a soft drink instead. All you could taste is tequila and orange that was too over powering. Not only was it terrible tasting, the price was ridiculous and they surprise you with it as it is not listed in the menu anywhere and when I had asked if they had a margarita I could order, the server just said “yes, we have a grand”, walked off and came back with it before I even confirmed I wanted it. I figured well I may as well try it since she’s gotten it for me already, and I regret it! One margarita cost $14.00… nearly the same as my $16.99 meal! Service was decent for the most part, but I did feel it was pushy and rude that the server brought our ticket, came back not even two minutes later and while my cousin was getting her card out to pay her portion; the server stood there staring at her and then snapped “is this ready for me?” As you can clearly see my cousin grabbing her wallet and reaching for her card.

5 /5 Jacque Raines: Great service, great atmosphere, great food! Our party had lunch and it was excellent. The cheese ravioli and Ceasars Salad was freshly prepared and perfectly seasoned. The tomatoes and lettuce salad was topped with fresh cheese and the dressing was tart and tasty. Pizza was great but the crust was a bit overcooked. The ambiance and decor reminds me of some of the Italian Cafes and Lounges while visiting Italy. The black leather booths and chairs, accented by the black and white vintage photos on the walls, create an atmosphere of chic retro. They are adding pool tables and the dining and lounge area should appeal to a large clientele. Ask for Hallie, she is awesome!

4 /5 Michelle Reish: This place was surprisingly pretty good! I’m pretty picky about Italian food restaurants and a hard critic but this was fairly decent. The service was great! It didn’t have much of an Italian feel to the decor but it wasn’t bad. You can go either dressed up on a date or casual. I got the chicken parmigiana. I like how it wasn’t drowning in tomato sauce like most places do. This meant the breading was still crispy when it got to the table! The bruschetta is BOMB! One thing I wish they had was a side Caesar salad instead of just a large entree one. This threw me off a little since side Caesar’s are basically a staple in all Italian restaurants. That being said, their feta balsamic was very good.
