My favourite place to eat in the whole of the UK. Food is always excellent quality, staff are very attentive without being too much. We always come to Vitos for any special occasion, anniversary, birthdays, celebrating new jobs and exam passes. The restaurant has a lovely ambience and there’s also a good selection of drinks. Highly recommend!

Party of 2, we booked very late and were a few minutes late owing to a typically tardy train. On arrival, service was prompt and we were shown to our table in what was a busy (though by no means very loud) restaurant. I had the steak baguette with frites and my sister went for a pasta dish that was surprisngly plentiful given it was from the light mains menu which was apparently excellent. I asked my steak to be done to medium well done and I may as well have asked for perfection because that was what was delivered. I've been a few times now and never had a bad experience, even during peak demand. The setting is great, the food is invariably great, the staff are lovely, and you are not deafened by music. Is it my favourite restaurant in Newcastle? Yes it is.
