I am surprised with the not so good reviews. I have been to Ciao Vito with my husband several times and also with friends. Their wine list is very well thought out. Prices are reasonable. The food was amazing. We had calamari and salad with blue cheese, both prepared very well and incredibly fresh. I had the flank steak, my husband had the seafood special, sea bass. I can't explain what they did to the bass, but it was the best piece of fish I have tasted in Portland metro in years. I begged my hubby to trade. We also finished the night and our bottle of wine with some nice desserts. This is where they were a bit shy and the service at times, a bit choppy. But over-all a mouth watering experience. It can be cramped, but they will do their best to honor your reservations and make you comfortable!
Pros: Sea Bass special, flank steak with blue cheese, calamari, wine list
Cons: dessert, service can be a bit touchy, but usually C+ to B- (Food makes up for it)!
