This place has been around forever -- just ask Robert Blake. Still, if you're in the neighborhood, and you want some regular-ol'-Italian served without attitude, and you like seeing C-list TV stars while you eat, this is the place.
Pros: Solid, if unexciting, Italian food
Cons: Solid, if unexciting, Italian food

This is a wonderful classic Italian restaurant, it has great home style food at a good price. The atmosphere is very warm and homey. I give this place five stars.

I am not sure who went here and did not like the food or service. Everything from begining to end was really good. It was a nice dining experience and better than another upscale eatery not far away. It is like old Hollywood...and by old I mena 80s:)

I am a 11 year old kid who loves Vitellos! The Manager is very very nice, the servers treat you like you are in your own house. Best of all the food comes out in a resanable time and the food is amazing. It is my favorite food. I love going there after school to get there thin crust pizza. Anyway you have to at least go there once but you will always want to go back. You have to try Vitellos Italian Restaurant.
Pros: Grat Staff
Cons: none

This is the place where a famous actor was dining with his estranged wife when she was shot in their car, which was parked on the side street (not in their giant parking lot). The actor was found not guilty of her murder.
A lot of people wanted to eat here because of that. Unfortunately, it's a very old restaurant that serves the kind of Italian food it was probably serving 40 years ago.. wait service is ok.
If you want chicken parm or other typical Italian fare, it's acceptable food in a decent setting, but this is not the place you go for great food.

Whenever my wife and I are in the mood for italian food, Vitello's is our first choice. I love the Linguini Afocata, Lasagna, and chicken Picatta. We have never had a bad experience there and the staff is extremley friendly. They check on you often and act as if your happiness means something to them. This I like. We can also bring our 3 year old there because of the great deep booths which is an added plus.
Pros: Great food. Great staff. Great place.
Cons: none

This was my first visit to Vitello's but it won't be my last. Me and a couple of my co-workers decided to go out for a nice dinner and we decided on Italian. We found Vitello's on City Search and chose it because it was near to where we work. The one block strip of Tujunga Ave., where Vitello's is located, is quaint. Neighboring the restaurant are a variety of shops, boutiques, cafe's and a theater.
As soon as we opened the door of Vitello's we were warmly greeted by their maitre d', the cashier and the management. We were told that we had to wait a few minutes as they cleared a table for us but it was worth it. We briefly spoke with the Maitre d' and the manager and told them that it was our first time to the restaurant. The Maitre d' told us that we were in for a surprise and challenged us to dis-like the food. He said, "he's never had a complaint" The manager showed us to our booth and wished us, "bon appetit".
Within seconds we were greeted by our waiter, Raul, and he took our drink order, we ordered a carafe' of chianti. When he came back with our Chianti he had a pizzetti that the management had sent over as an appetizer. The pizzetti was excellent, the crust was the thinest I have ever seen. I asked, Raul how they make the crust so thin, but he said it was a secret recipe.
We sipped on our Chiantis and tried to decide on our entree's, the menu is huge. I decided to go with the traditional Lasagna. I grew up on Italian food, the classic recipes, and this was almost as good as mom used to make it. The dish was baked perfectly. My company had the chicken piccata and scampi. They said it was delicious, the best they've ever had.
The staff was so friendly. Raul was an excellent waiter and the busboy was very attentive. Even the manager came over to check up on us and make sure everything was perfect. As we left, I had to tell the Maitre d' that he was right. And he joked about seeing us again tomorrow. He just might.
Pros: Friendly staff, great food, first class service and classic italian ambience.
Cons: Short wait, limited parking (but that's being picky)

From the moment we walked in the door we were treated like royalty. This place has a charming and romantic atmosphere, it's a perfect place to take a date. We had the best calamari appetizer, and enjoyed a couple glasses of italian red wine. The entree was extremely tasty and good size portions too! I didn't think we had room for dessert,l but the waiter claimed that vitellos has the best canoli's around, and she was right . It was awesome. And on top of all that it wasn't too expensive, we'll definatly be back. This restaurant is doing something right.
Pros: ambience
Cons: parking was difficult
