Italian Cuisine
The immense popularity of Italian cuisine globally isn't unknown. You can find an Italian Pizzeria around every corner of almost every city in the United States. Not to forget that in every house, people enjoy mac and cheese as comfort food. But it would be wrong to believe that Italian food starts with pizza and ends with good pasta as this Mediterranean country has much more to offer other than these two dishes. In Italian Cuisine, there is a high use of fresh tomatoes, all kinds of herbs, great quality of cheese, all types of meat, seafood and fresh handmade pasta. Many find it hard to believe that Italians have been making noodles long back.
Italian and Greek cuisines are always mistaken to be same, but they are poles apart. The primary difference between the two cuisines is the use of cheese in most of the Italian dishes. Italians love to cultivate their own cheese and process them as per their food requirement. It is believed that some cheese is so expensive that cheese producers secure them in lockers.
If you are bored eating the same old pasta or pizza, you can try some of the authentic Italian dishes like Risotto, Polenta, Ribollita, Lasagna, Fiorentina Steak, Bottarga, Ossobuco, Carbonara, Focaccia, Arancini and Supplì. Another item which Italians love to relish every morning is a good cup of Italian Coffee. Once you taste a freshly brewed cup of Italian Coffee, you might not visit Starbucks ever again. Authentic Italian food is made with heart and soul, so go find a restaurant where you can relish Italian cuisine in your city.

Ate here yesterday evening. Server was bad. Didn't even care about his customers and in no way even tried to get any work done at a reasonable speed. Only came to the table to take our order, drop the food off, and collect check(which I had to flag him down for). He never checked to make sure the food was good or if we needed anything. He also never brought bread and oil out for us to eat while we waited on our order. The food that we did have was average quality and overpriced. Nice decor and the food came out quick. Wasn't a good experience for the money.
(2)Elizabeth B.
The food was pretty good! I went with the chicken Parmesan, my dad got the Mediterranean salad, and my mom got the spaghetti and meatballs. We all inhaled our food. The waitress was very nice and attentive. All in all a pretty good experience

This place is not here to impress you. It is here to give you a decent meal and continue shopping so you don't need to eat mall pretzels for lunch/dinner. My water from 7/6/15 was a little too attentive. His shift just began so he was probably very energetic, but a bit forgetful. For instance, my dinner date ordered pasta and he returned 5 minutes later asking if we wanted garlic bread with that for $3. That was one of many instances where he kept coming back with a few questions. After a little too many questions, he finally caught on and left us alone for the rest of the night, Overall the food isn't terrible, but I wouldn't return unless I was actually shopping in the outlets.
(3)Sarah W.
Just not a very impressive experience... Menu kinda makes you go "meehhh. *shrugs* I got the calamari which was chewy and kinda soggy. Service was decent.
(3)Heidi M.
Our eggplant bruschetta was simple but very tasty. There is a fair wine selection. We went with the house Chianti and were quite pleased! For a main, my sister and I split the spaghetti bolognese. The dish is more like spaghetti and meat sauce, not really a bolognese, but still very tasty and filling. It was a great alternative to average mall food, though the food could be tweaked just a bit. Service was excellent. We were promptly seated, our server came by within the first two minutes to get our drink order, and everything we ordered was promptly delivered to our table.
(4)Gaudy R.
Friendly and courteous staff, great desserts. I got the chicken pesto panini; it was a little plain. My sister loved the chicken Parmesan she ordered. Their desserts are amazing!

I ate here during my vacation in Orlando and my family and I were not expecting anything special. We were thrown off guard with how GOOD everything tasted though. We sat in the bar area and the bar attendant was excellent and quick to bring out drinks. I ordered my usual Fettuccine Alfredo while my sister ordered their Supreme Pizza and my Mom ordered their Mozzarella appetizer. Everything was incredible. The pasta was cooked al dente, which isn't my preference, but the alfredo sauce was so delicious I did not care. It may be the best alfredo sauce I have had in Florida and reminded me of pasta my dad and I would get delivery from as a kid in San Francisco. The pizza was excellent. Delectable down to the last bite and reminded me of Round Table Pizza in California - another pizza I have not enjoyed for years. The Mozzarella appetizer was a very thick batter that almost tasted like Chicken Parmigiana and the marinara sauce was delicious. The mall was a nightmare on the day after Christmas, but Vinito was a pleasant surprise in all the crowds and lines. I will definitely be going back.

IF YOU'VE GONE RECENTLY, CHECK YOUR BANK STATEMENT. As I'm writing this Wells Fargo is looking into why I was triple charged at Vinito's Ristorante. My spouse and I went Sunday 1/4/2015 to the outlets in Orlando to browse around and hopefully find a pair of Oakleys for an upcoming trip. We happen to park what we considered the "front" of the outlet and notice Vinito's Ristorante. We were hungry and decided that we wouldn't do the usual... which is going to the food court. We were seated immediately... there was hardly anyone at the restaurant. That's when I got the "vibe". I saw very few customers, there was waiters hanging around and there was just this shady vibe to this place... like it should be in a episode of Ramsey's Kitchen Nightmare. My spouse and I decided that we would only order an appetizer, some cokes and leave. The total came out to $18 with change... pretty pricey in my opinion, however not as pricey as being charged over $50.00 for that! When we noticed that we called Wells Fargo immediately to dispute this. What the representative said next just confirmed my instincts on the shadiness of this place- He said that "this has happened a lot at this establishment". So warning to everyone who reads this - Now I don't know who to blame. Could it have been the waitress? Did she perhaps altered my tip? Or someone in the back who deals with the accounting? I don't know but I do know that this shady place will never receive NOT ONE CENT from me, my friends or family members. I will make sure the public is aware of what I went through; I will contact the BBB and the people who manages the outlets.
(1)Matt C.
Surprisingly excellent food. Calamari very good appetiser. Shrimp a la vodka very tasty. Families dishes also very good. Apple pie & ice cream excellent. You ain't seen me, right !?
(4)Ezgi C.
I can not believe how people made good comments about this restaurant; the food was cold and not delicious at all, better to grab a cold sandwich from publix. Oh!!! Virgin olive oil was good, probably because they didn't have to cook that.
(1)Jen O.
To be fair, I've only eaten here once- but that was enough. My food was tasteless and unseasoned. I ordered Chicken Francis and it tasted like greasy flour. Not a hint of lemon, no color to indicate it was even sautéed in a pan- it was pale and actually looked boiled, although it clearly was pan cooked from the oil- not sauce - on my plate. Even the pasta and sauce was disappointing. Perhaps in the evening or on the weekends, they have more talented kitchen staff? Our server was fine- attentive but not overbearing. Quick to greet us, bring drinks and around when needed. Given only the quality of the food here and again- from only my one visit, I will not be returning to grab a bite anytime in the future to give it a second chance.
(2)Alice M.
Eaten here many times when at the outlets. Great food, ample portions and great service. Restrooms are immaculate too!
(5)Flavio C.
As many mentioned, it's the worse service ever ! Avoid it ! Waitress in extreme bad mood. 18% automatic gratuity must state as service charge and not as gratuity. The waitress was extremely rude. I will never return.
(1)Nikita G.
Good God...I can't EVEN! I went with a friend to this seemingly regular Italian restaurant while shopping the outlets. We were thrown off guard like no other. I swear, every single thing was delicious. The wine was great, the tortellini is the best I have EVER had (no joke...I live in Tampa and I dream out this tortellini. I need to find ways to get back to those outlets. Why can't they have a restaurant down here??), the salad, the bread, the dessert...everything. Dude, I don't really like cheesecake. I mean I can handle it, but I don't care for it. I was MOANING at the cheesecake. My friend and I had a special moment eating that together. I have no clue what is going on with the chefs there but the food was out of this world. My mouth is watering right now thinking about it. Seriously. This is the best Italian restaurant I have ever had. I have no idea how they don't have a chain going already. I spoke to our waiter and he said the chefs are 5-star. They used to work for Disney (as chefs) and decided to make their own restaurant. Makes sense why they are so good now.
(5)Sandy M.
Decent selection for a mall Italian restaurant. I went late at night and sat at the bar. The bartender was my waitress and she did great keeping my diet coke refilled and boxing up my leftover. The pizza was just ok but I was tired, starving and my feet were killing me so I was glad to have this sit down place to grab a bite.
(3)Alejandra A.
I was not expecting much since it is after all THE only sit down restaurant (at least that we saw) in this outlet. The staff was very accommodating and friendly- kudos for that. Our server was from Miami so when he found out he got even nicer.. lol I know it sounds strange but a little extra conversation goes a long way in my book. Place was pretty clean and big. The menu itself had your usual Italian restaurant items. Simple and to the point- love that. We ordered different items including chicken marsala, a pasta dish and spaghetti with meatballs for the little munchkin with us. I had the insalata primavera with salmon. Can I just tell you how huge that piece of salmon was??? In Miami restaurants you do not even get a third of that for twice the price! I almost fell off my chair when they brought it- perfectly cooked- complimented the rest of the salad quite well. Had plenty of gorgonzola, walnuts and cranberries. My only tiny problem was that the portion was so big I couldn't finish it (poo!) Perhaps a little warning prior to ordering can help *hint-hint* After a long day of shopping and 2 previous days of Disney parks full of perhaps not-so-healthy- food... it was nice to sit down and have something more normal. Vinito- thanks for filling up my belly so I could avoid eating junk food at some random rest stop on my way back home!
(4)Vik P.
Bad Service!! And the Fettuccine Alfredo tasted waxy. The eggplant Parmesan was flavor less. It's as if they unfreezed a TV dinner and microwaved it. Don't eat here, even if you are starving.
(1)Hannah M.
This seemed almost like if a Mexican restaurant decided to open an Italian chain on the side; even the menu reminded me of a mexican restaurant with the photos! We sat on the patio which was nice, just a little windy. My boss and I both started with caesar salads which were your typical caesars and just right. My lasagna on the other hand was just OK. The cheese consistency between the layers and the thickness of the noodles was very similar to a Stouffer's lasagna you could buy at the grocery store. There also wasn't a lot of meat within it. The baked mozzerella on top was nice and crispy though and our service was great! I think this place does just fine being in a very touristy area of town and the only full service restaurant within the Premium Outlets to boot.
(3)Andrea H.
The food has no taste and way overpriced. Also, one of the members from our group got some bad food that made them very sick. I would steer clear from this place. The place was not clean either and our waitress was confrontational when we pointed out that the food was not good.
(1)Tony C.
We have a very nice time with excellent food. What made this evening so nice was our waiter Ian. Ian displayed a wonderful seance of humer. An amazing ability to remember each of our six names and exactly what we ordered with our writing any of it down. He is an extraordinary asset to this restaurant. I believe they are extremely lucky to have such an excellent young man representing their restaurant.
(5)Sara S.
Surprisingly pretty good! It's located in the prime outlets, so they can get away with mediocre food and service for the many tourists passing through in Orlando, which is why we were pleasantly surprised. The meal started off with friendly staff greetings, personable server and warm bread and olive oil vinaigrette. Husband's steak was good, spinach was awesome, and my Mediterranean salad was pretty darn good too, just the right amount of dressing, more eggplant would've been nice. The place was clean and spacious inside and there's nice outdoor seating where you get to enjoy the other restaurant's music. Awful tiramisu though, olive garden or Costco even do better tiramisu.
(3)Kristen H.
The food here was alright, I suppose; I got a spicy pasta that was fairly tasty. The problem was more with the service. The restaurant was fairly empty, and yet, it was impossible to find our server. The manager walked by a few times looking bored. The problem most likely was that our server changed throughout our meal without any acknowledgment of each switch. The entire experience was a bit surreal; maybe they were overwhelmed by the pre-Christmas rush (they're located in an outlet mall). Regardless, should I return to Orlando, this restaurant won't be on my list.
(3)Moni G.
Horrible food!! Don't waste your money. Extremely dissappointing. The only good thing was the bread. I ordered one of the Chef's specials, spaghetti geraldina that was supposed to come with a marinara sauce and fresh basil. Well that looked more like a half of a tomato chopped up and a few basil pieces.. It wasn't even hot. It was as if the tomatoes where grabbed from the fridge and put in the microwave on top of the pasta... If that was a Chef special, I'm scared of what the others dishes taste and look like. We also had a pizza, way below average as well. Will never come back for sure.
(1)Brian A.
I went to Vinito today for lunch, My boyfriend had been there once before and told me it was really good, and for a restaurant thats located in an outlet, he was right. We ordered the tomato bruschetta which was one of the best ive had anywhere, and im very picky about tomato bruschetta. As an entree, I ordered the chicken parmesan. It was good, my boyfriend had the chicken alfredo and it was yummy as well. Good service. Good food, its an all around good place.
(4)Dan M.
I didn't actually eat at the restaurant, but a coworker ordered us food from here and it was very good. I had some sort of turkey sandwich and was very happy - good bread, tasty meat and cheese, fresh veggies and a perfect sauce to tie it all together. The fries were very well done too. I'd definitely want to get another sandwich from these guys.
(4)Carlos F.
Great Italian food, the steaks are awesome and always make sure to ask about the chef special dishes of the day. The price for the food is the average for restaurants on international drive, even cheaper in some stuff. Quality of service mostly depends on the server that gets your table, just like all restaurants.
(5)Michele G.
I ate yesterday for lunch pizza was great, has nice covered patio with a television and they see the Italian football
(5)Priscilla M.
Bad service ever!!! The Waitress is in bad mood!!! For me is a bad experience ever!!! Don't go!
(1)Beverly A.
I sat at the bar for fast service! ..and the bartender gave me fresh bread. The olive oil that comes with it is AMAZING! If it weren't so bad for you its all I would've had for dinner :P I ordered the chicken francese and it wasn't memorable. The spaghetti on the side was just OK but at least the chicken breast wasn't overcooked. Oh! I also had the tiramisu, and it was pretty good! Vinito is 1 of 2 sit down restaurants in the outlet.. but there are other fast food options in the food court as well.
(2)Pauline T.
Food was good but the service was terrible. We had a male server that barely attended to us. He was not busy, was tending to all his other tables except for us. We sat without water for a while until we flagged him down. He basically did the basics of a waiter except no refills and didn't check on how we were doing or how the food was. He kept bragging to the other waiters how easy it was so that made me a tad irritated considering we were right in front of him with no water refill. Afterwards my stomach hurt and my boyfriends as well. Not sure what they put into the food. I wouldn't come back here.
(3)Bradford P.
I recently visited Vinito Ristorante while visiting the outlets on a business trip. Service here was impeccable. Our waiter made us feel like we were in a five star restaurant in downtown NYC. The food was your pretty standard fare. Nothing to write home about but is wasn't bad either. I had the spaghetti with meatballs. The spaghetti was a little overcooked. The meatballs were about the size of a golf ball and were delicious. The marinara sauce was very delicious. The others in my party were pleased with their meals as well. I would probably come back to this place if I was in the area. I wouldn't necessarily say I absolutely have to come back though.
(3)Scott H.
Meh. Unimpressive, unmemorable, bland food. The only reason to go here is that it's at the shopping outlets and choices there are few and even more unimpressive. (they do have a Five Guys, which would have been my pick) The dining room is large and nice in a fake Italian chain way. The food was just bland. I got a pizza that was lacking in flavor and inspiration. It was about as bad as any frozen pie I've had. My wife got a pasta dish that she pretty much frowned at the entire meal. Service was odd, I was in a festive mood so I just laughed it off, but on another day I would have dripped with sarcasm. We watched at a hostess floated on autopilot from table to table "everything great? enjoyyyyy" each visit lasted about 3/4 of a second so if, in fact, everything was not 'great' the patrons wouldn't have had time to say so. Our server was a young kid, possible on his first night as he seemed extra nervous. We did get a chuckle when he brought the bill and said, "you've been wonderful. Have a great night" That's exactly what the lead singer of REO Speedwagon told the crowd at my very first concert.
(2)Laura F.
The food here is delicious and if you get a sandwich or burger, it's not too expensive. The dinner plates and spaghetti are a bit more expensive, but if you stop in for lunch and get a lunch-type meal, you can eat at a nice place for pretty cheap. The only reason I gave 4 stars instead of 5 was due to the fact that our waiter was kind of hard to find at times (but he was really nice and helpful when he was there) and I was a bit confused with the fact that the last time I went here for lunch, they immediately brought us a bread basket and dipping oil after we ordered, and this time we did not. The last time we got sandwiches and burgers and they brought us bread, and this time we got spaghetti, and didn't get bread. It would seem to make more sense to give bread to people eating spaghetti, but instead we had to ask for it. I just thought this was weird, and kind of inconsistent. But overall the food is good and everyone that has helped us was really nice and helpful. The best "real" food you are going to find at the outlets since everything in the food court is like "fast food."
(4)Kerri B.
This place isn't bad, but it's a restaurant in a large shopping outlet. Give it a try, but don't expect too much.
(3)Al B.
Service is friendly, but lack luster. All meals were served hot and in a timely manner. Penne alla Vodka and Chicken Francesca were great. Finished meal with Mint Chocolate Chip gelato that left pallet feeling very clean. Pleasantly surprised.
(3)JC B.
Food wasn't bad until one of the servers finished wiping themselves, opened the door, walked straight into the kitchen and came out bearing food. No one washes their hands in this place
(1)EricaLynn J.
Vinito is located in the middle of the Prime Outlets, though once you are inside you immediately forget that you are actually outlet shopping; the restaurant kind of looks like a combination of a Cheesecake Factory design with Olive Garden touches. The menu has your standard Italian dishes, including various personal pizzas with many toppings to choose from, anything parmigiana, lots of salads and lots and lots of pasta. I ordered rigatoni a la vodka and it was delicious - and I was thankful for the small portion size (though those hungrier would probably have preferred something a little more substantial.) I tried a slice of pizza with sausage (also great, though they failed to mention that there would be both sweet sausage and spicy sausage on the slice; I don't do well with spicy, so I suppose I was lucky that I chose a slice that only had the sweet sausage...) and also tried some of the minestrone soup (huge bowl, thick broth, some of the best I've ever had.) The service was a little weird. It took us awhile to get seated even though there was hardly anyone else in the restaurant, and once we were served, it seemed as if our waitress wanted to get us out quickly - we barely even put our forks down and we already had the check. I definitely would return if I were at the Prime Outlets again, but wouldn't make a trip there especially to go to Vinito's.
(3)Terry F.
We had a party of five and needed a decent place to eat. We were seating right away and we were able to place our order immediately. Being in the middle of an Outlet Mall we were pleasantly surprised. Food and service was acceptable and the price was moderate.
(3)Kathy W.
Tried this place after shopping at the Prime Outlets. Did not have to wait long for a seat; however, it did take long to get our food. I believe we were there for about 1.5 hours for a party of 5. The server did refill our water however, never asked if we wanted more bread. The food was ok. Nothing to rave about. I had the Grilled Chicken Panini. It was dry because there was no spread but it tasted healthy. My brother ordered the Filet Mignon but I don't think it tastes as good as the one in Black Angus.
(3)Stacy H.
I couldn't have possibly had a better experience. After some much Needed lone retail therapy, I was craving a fancy overpriced lunch. This looked like the perfect place! If it wasn't for the lady out front showing passerbys the menu, I probably would have kept on walking to, ugh, the foodcourt (Ew!). She reeled me in with immediate seating (I requested outside seating of course) & immediately ordered a sangria. Shopping, fancy lunch, sangria + people watching...perfect!! Menu had a great selection, I had trouble making a decision. The prompt waitress brought bread with the most delicious dipping oil ever. I chose a roast beef panini. I'm confused, I thought a panini was a grilled sandwich? Apparently none of their paninis are actually Grilled, their just regular sandwiches. However, it was still delicious! Roast beef piled on ciabatta with the perfect amount of delicious horseradish. Also, my overpriced lunch I was craving didn't end up being so overpriced. My "panini" & yummy house salad with bread & dipping oil: $8.99! I probably wouldve paid double, lol. My only complaint: my sangria was empty too fast :( I sat close to the entrance & noticed the manager friendly greeting each customer which I thought was cool. Outside seating is right next to the bubble kiosk, so there's constantly bubbles blowing in, but I thought that was just another cool factor to my perfect lunch!
(5)Li L.
I ate here last night at the recommendation of a staff member. Had the Chicken Parmesan..Hmmm. It was OK. Definitely not the best. Let's just say that the piece of chicken I got was the one with all the blubber and cartilage pieces attached to the ends. While I thought I was chompin' on meat I was actually chompin on fat. pass...
(2)C. A.
I recently visited this restaurant while on vacation and doing a little shopping at the Prime Outlets. Went for lunch and I must say the staff was very friendly from the time we entered the establishment until the time we left. Our waitress was very attentive and made sure everything was to our liking. Our cocktails were great, my dish was good, I ordered a hamburger that was cooked and seasoned well. I know...going to an Italian restaurant for a burger doesn't sound appetizing, but I just happened to have a taste for a hamburger at the time and was glad I ordered it...it was amazing. My girlfriend ordered the shrimp scampi, and while she said it was good, they did however sprinkle too much lemon juice on the dish and she had to order another sauce to even out the taste. This is the reason I'm giving the restaurant a 3 star rating versus a 4 star. I'd say if you're looking for a good lunchtime meal after doing a little shopping at the outlet mall...then give them a try...I'm giving them my stamp of approval.
(3)GUSTAVO T.
Good. Price/Quality: OK.
(3)Anita T.
Just arrived in Orlando with my husband and teenage daughters. We decided to eat here while doing a little shopping. The service was excellent! We were seated and our orders were taken promptly. Unfortunately, the main course did not meet our expectations. For appetizers we had calamari and mozzarella which were not bad at all. However, for our main course we ordered chicken fracese, veal picatta, chicken sandwich, and cheese ravioli topped with a salmon and scallop sauce. We were disappointed by the lack of flavor. Even the dipping sauce for the bread was flavorless. On a positive note the caesar salad, moscato, and pinot noir were not bad. Nevertheless, we will not visit again and will definitely not recommend. I rate it a two due to the good customer service.
(2)John D.
I was shopping at the mall but I came from another event that day and I wasn't "dressed appropriately" I guess. This is the only possible reason I can think of that I wasn't served. I sat down in the bar and the waitstaff just stared off into space or stared thru me. I waited and I waited and then I waited some more . There was a big mess on one of the tables close to me that they were all avoiding. Finally one of them came close enough so I asked her for a menu. I thought o k maybe these sleepy heads are waking up now. NOT!... They just kept on staring at me. Not sure but I thought I heard one of them making negative remarks towards me. At any rate I have no idea what the food tastes like and was very dismayed at the entire experience. Not sure what to make of this never had anything like this happen anywhere. Maybe they mistook me for someone else... Very strange. All I know is if that place was my restaurant I would be paying a hell of a lot closer attention to what the bar staff is doing besides chit chatting and ignoring would be paying customers!
(1)Avionne C.
After a EXTREMELY long day of shopping at the outlets, my co-worker and I went to grab a bite to eat. Let's just say the food and service were WONDERFUL. Definitely felt like a family environment and plenty of food. Good food spot in this busy shopping area!!!
(4)Candace W.
The food here is average. I work in the mall so I usually order the food to go. Depending on who is working I'd say it's a friendly experience, while some people clearly just don't want to be there. The wedding soup is good. The bread is hard, you could lose a tooth trying to eat it. I've also tried the chicken panini, not bad but a little dry, add some honey mustard and you're set! TIP: Call ahead for the order, sometimes they don't answer the phone :/
(2)Andrew H.
Had a salad the other day that was so big I could not finish it. Loaded with grilled eggplant and chicken.
(4)Steve D.
The pizza & chicken milanese are very good. Our server was excellent as well. Great location too. You can shop, eat, & go back to shopping!
(4)Robin S.
As a NY native I am pretty critical of Italian food, particularly out of state Italian food. After a day at Epcot Center, my fiance and I decided to have dinner outside of The World. We found a recommendation for Vinito in a guide book and drove there. It was phenomenal! The sauce was perfect, the service was impeccable, and the ambience was charming. The prices were also very good for a restaurant in a mall. Highly recommended if you need a break from the mouse. :) The caramel apple martini was particularly delicious.
(5)CJ C.
Italian Wedding soup, pepperoni & sausage pizza, and Chicken Milanese were all very yummy! Service was good, too.
(4)Myla P.
As a business traveler, I tend to dine alone often. Vinito was the first restaurant where I have experienced a pitying look from the hostess when I told her I needed a table for one. She actually frowned, then grabbed a menu and took me to a table. It was noon on a Tuesday, and while the outlet mall had a ton of shoppers, the restaurant was near deserted. There was one table seated outside, another family seated near me, and a third table were 6 people who looked to be managers and executives of Vinito were sitting. I ordered a Caprese salad and Spaghetti & Meatballs. The Caprese salad was beautiful, a small tower of mozzarella, fresh tomatoes and basil, drizzled with oil and balsamic and served with olives. A great salad, but I'm not sure it was worth $10. The spaghetti and meatballs were not good at all. The spaghetti was served with very little sauce (the sauce was very sweet, almost like ketchup) and there were 3 meatballs that were very salty. All this for a $14 price tag. I hate to say it, but I have had better Italian food at Olive Garden. I did keep a second star for the service. My server was very kind and even offered me a map of the outlet stores as well as Iced Tea in a to-go cup.
(2)Russell O.
Had dinner here while visiting the city. I must say this place puts olive garden to shame. Had the mouth watering lasagna & was pleasantly surprised. My advice I'd wait about 10 mins before u bite into it because I nearly burned my taste buds off.
(4)Jennifer T.
Finished shopping at the Prime Outlet mall with my mom, stopped at Vinito's for a bite after. We waited about 10 minutes after we were sat before anyone even acknowledged us, but after tjhat our server came over. She had bread in her hand (yummy) and was ready for our order. The rest of the meal was really good. Waitress was friendly, refilled drink
(3)Jasmine W.
one of the only sit-down restaurants in the prime outlets, a friend and i came for lunch and had a nice time. nicely decorated, great service (friendly, chatty server, let my friend and me stay a while and catch up), tasty food with larger-than-expected portions at good prices. decent selection of vegetarian items and i enjoyed my scallops with garlic spinach and rosemary potatoes (a good deal at $15.99). along with entrees they have pannini's, pizzas, only a few pasta items.

Came in here with my husband after a busy day shopping at the mall; wanted a nice, relaxed, sit-down dinner and this place certainly appealed from the outside, looked beautiful, the menu had some great vegetarian options, so OK, let's do it! Unfortunately I was ultimately disappointed, sad to say. The service was extremely erratic. We ordered quickly from a friendly server, and we're quickly served the complimentary bread and butter and our drinks, with meal quick to follow. I was so bummed out to receive my fettuccine alfredo - my FAVORITE dish - cold on it's plate. I should have sent it back, but I was literally about to pass out from lack of food, so ate it I did. Of course our server (previously attentive and polite) was absolutely nowhere to be found at this time. So I ate my cold, flavorless pasta...NO grating of the parmesan cheese - a must - was ever offered, so seriously annoying I will never get over it. My husband had to go steal some salt and pepper off another table so I could dress it up a little bit. Wasn't so terrible, but really, this is a restaurant and serving cold food is just a huge, unforgivable mistake. I will say that my husband was pleased with his dish...some delicious-looking cheesy baked thing (tortillini, maybe?) and his dish was not flavorless and not cold, he was very pleased with his meal, but of course you need to get both plates on the table with the food hot to receive a decent review from me. If you've got high expectations for your fettuccine alfredo, do yourself a favor and go to the Olive Garden. Sure, it's a chain restaurant. But they do make their pasta fresh (as does Vinito's) and it's served with a lot more flavor and decent service. No lack of parmesan cheese grating! Of course Vinito does offer alfresco dining, which is always nice in FL, owing to our beautiful weather, and like I said, the outside of the place is very appealing, a nice atmosphere that draws you in. Too bad that they could not follow up with food that was adequately prepared: first rule, serve it hot! I would actually give them another chance though (since my husband was so pleased with his). Next time, though, I won't be perishing from hunger, I will be prepared to send it back if they serve me another plate of cold pasta. Also next time I'll get my server's cell phone number, just in case he wanders off, or quits, or whatever happened to him. Never saw him again after we ordered! A different person served the food, and a different person had to issue our check, after we managed to get his attention and ask for it. I guess we could have just left, I don't think anyone would have noticed. Go, but be assertive, and make sure you've got everything you need before they pull their vanishing act. Or maybe just go to another place altogether, hey? Prices are not cheap here, I expected a lot better, was seriously disappointed.

If you're looking for authentic Italian food look somewhere else. The food doesn't match the scenery. I am not sure if it's because I am Italian and I know what Italian should taste like or if this place is just really bad. The soup taste like it was poured out of a can that you buy in a grocery store. The meatballs are made of over processed meat of some sort. They said it was beef but I am skeptical. The red sauce is definitely not homemade.

Was sat down quickly. Restaurant decorated beautifully. The bread and olive oil was fantastic. I had Minestrone soup, my wife had Chicken Fetticunni and my daughter Alfredo Spaghetti. Soup was great. Chicken was very good and the spaghetti was OK. The waiter was nice and attentive. The price of the food was fair. I recommend this restaurant.

The food was delicious. I had the grilled chicken panini. The atmosphere is very nice and it happened to be a nice day so we sat on the patio. Great place to have a casual lunch!

Food is pretty good but kitchen is dirty! Just ate there at the bar area- food was good and service was nice - BUT THEN! We were standing by the kitchen and saw the chef drop a large slice of tomato on the filthy kitchen floor, pick it back up and then cook with it- DISGUSTING! Thank goodness the manager went to speak to the chef as soon as we complained. We were so grossed out. Would not eat here again!

I had dinner here last night after some shopping at the outlet mall. It looked like the best choice there. The food was pretty good. The Antipasto was OK. The meats were not the best quality. The garlic bread was super spicy due to the type of garlic they used. We were not fans and sent it back. I ordered the Mediterranean Grilled Salad and added grilled shrimp. It was very good and packed with yummy ingredients like fresh spring mix with grilled eggplant, roasted red peppers, peppery goat cheese, and cherry tomatoes. We also had sangria which was so-so. The service was good. I would go back if shopping at the outlets and very hungry otherwise, I think there are better choices in the area.

The family and I went there this past weekend during the Thanksgiving holiday rush. As we all did not want food court fare, we decided to try out Vinito. Our server, Jay, was very friendly and quite attentive. Here is where it all started to come off the rails. Being honest, Jay said that the lasagna and meatballs are all frozen. Yes, that turned me off to eating those selections, but how can a "higher end" restaurant with an open kitchen fall so short of a simple standard? He also said that they are a high volume restaurant, which is why they go the frozen route. Nevertheless, I ordered the chicken parm. When it arrived, the colors looked muted. The marinara was more of a dull orange color that tasted of canned tomato paste. The chicken itself was ok, but was super thin. The spaghetti was awful. Watery and doused with that orangy marinara concoction. I forgot to mention that Jay said that if we wanted more bread, he would have to charge us. Charge for the "free" bread? YIKES! I tried a bite of the salmon...that was good. I glanced over at the steaks...they looked good. My meal was so bad that I proclaimed we never go back...and we won't. My suggestion is this; If you are hungry and you are shopping at that mall, either go to the food court or leave the mall and go find somewhere else to eat.
