For this excursion we went to a place called Vito's Ristorante. As you can probably surmise from the name, it is an Italian styled restaurant. This time our crew was three CVFTA members strong! After an hour or more of deliberation, we decided on a restaurant near Vito's, but ended up going here instead. While both, I'm sure, would have been good options and we will probably visit the other one someday, I'm glad we checked out this restaurant first.

The restaurant had an intimate and formal atmosphere, but didn't come with the high-end cost you would expect.
We had visited at what appeared to be a low traffic time, which is great for us because we take photos of our food. I'm glad to say that, so far, not one place has hassled us about that.
Their menu is simple and focused on a few Italian staples like pastas and sandwiches that used Italian breads.
I had the Portabella Sandwich with fries and berry flavored iced tea.

You might expect the bread that looks like that to be a bit dry, but it wasn't. It had just the right level of bite and flavor to it to not be a detriment to the sandwich. The mushrooms were plentiful and flavorful enough to be enjoyed. The berry flavored tea was simple and unsweetened. It had a subtle mild flavor, but was very refreshing. Scott S. aka. Sai had Chicken Bruschetta Sandwich with fries and Linguine Alfredo with salad.

Erik had the Bruschetta appetizer , and linguine alfredo with shrimp. We joked about the massive portion of pasta and how there might be a black hole warp inside that keeps refilling the bowl.

Erik shared his Bruschetta, so I had a chance to see what it was like. It is something simple yet really great once you start eating it. The bread pieces are hard, but only on the first few crunches. Along with the salsa, it make a great tasty combination that is surprisingly good from something so simple.
The waitress was extremely helpful and quick to give us refills or see how we were doing. A nice place for lunch or dinner depending on what style of dining you prefer.
