Wickliffe Restaurant Guide

It doesn't get any better than this! While Vittorio's itself has passed from father to daughter, the Italian recipes have been in the family for generations. What's more, they're as luscious today as they were a century ago. Vittorio's upscale, contemporary setting complements the chef's culinary approach, which marries tradition to invention with delicioso results. Boasting a marvelous international wine list with an Italian emphasis, guests welcome to share a bottle of Chianti classico and some small plates of eggplant roulades and fried calamari. Ideal for a high-powered business lunch or low-key dinner for two, the menu presents an irresistible - and well-priced - selection of both classic and creative chicken, veal, beef and seafood dishes. And oh, the pastas! Made fresh from scratch, the fettuccini ala bolognese in a rich beef and Italian sausage ragu is divine, as is the pasta marialena tossed with grilled chicken, sausage, feta and romano. But Vittorio's is as appealing for cocktails as it is for lunch and dinner, which accounts for the happy hour crowd. Live entertainment including jazz, blues and mixed and 80s rock can be found at that time. Vittorio's has also added a new Sunday brunch to its repertoire; it is served from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. and includes complimentary homemade donuts and fried dough.
