Visited Vatutto Restaurant for the first time yesterday and we were blown away by the excellent service and the quality and presentation of the meals. The owner and her staff could not do enough for us. We thoroughly enjoyed our dining experience and we will definitely be going back! Keep up the great work.

It was a beautiful dinner and the outstanding service made it all the better. It was a really perfect night, we sat outside and I wouldn’t have known the difference whether we were inside or not. They were so accommodating when I asked for a few extra things for my kids, great place and we will be back.
