Celebrated two birthdays with 11ppl, the food was delicious and the staff did an excellent job of serving and waiting on us even... though there were other parties and staffing was light. The icing on the cake was the signing of Happy Birthday from all of thefront staff and owner. Thanks @Vitale for making a special night. Read more

Cafe Vitale hosted a big birthday bash for my mother Aug. 20, 2022. Searching for a restaurant, we were looking for the... Goldilocks spot: Not to expensive and overly formal, not too cheap and underwhelming but a perfect balance between charm,intimacy and openness with a flexible manager or owner. When I visited the week before, I liked what I saw. The decor was aquaint Italian village setting with a nice breeze ran through the restaurant and bar. As with most restaurants responding topandemic conditions, there were sidewalk tables and a garden patio. Plans were for us to occupy one room but as we discussedguest count and things we wanted to do, the owner offered us his largest room located in the front of the restaurant primarilybecause we held a Saturday afternoon luncheon. It was far larger than the other room so worked out perfectly. They allowed us todecorate, which meant a few posters on the walls and setting up table decor, goldfish included. Food was excellent. I had vealpiccata. Meat was was tender and juicy with a delicious wine gravy. There were zero food complaints including from an uncle witha reputation for being so picky about his food he'd bring his own outside food into other restaurants. I really enjoyed theowner. He was very involved ensuring our satisfaction and a memorable experience. Our birthday girl had everything she neededincluding a good time. I cannot speak highly enough about this place and its owner. It's a hidden Los Altos treasure for which Ishall return with friends in tow. Mangia! Read more

Really enjoyed the fettuccine alfredo with chicken. The service is spectacular. Will definitely go back.

Good, honest neighborhood eatery, close to anywhere in old Los Altos/Loyola. Nothing fancy, but good kitchen, friendly service... and relaxing atmosphere on the patio, despite facing the Foothill expressway service road. Perfect to stop by after the long dogwalk for a quick bite or an ice cappuccino. Read more

Randomly wandered into this cute Italian place. Amazing seafood pasta, great cocktail, fast and friendly service by Antonio!... Will definitely come back. P.S. their hours are definitely wrong, they’re open Saturday lunch :) Read more

Came here to celebrate a friend’s retirement party. This place has a bar and TV. With plenty of seating. (even for a party) ... The ambience is nice also. We all were given a Salad, appetizers: calamari and fried meat balls? (Not sure, see pics) and forthe main dish I opted for the sea food pasta with red sauce. The Calamari was light, crispy and most importantly, not oily atall. 5 stars, definitely recommend. The fried Meatballs (as I call them) had a slightly cheesy texture on the inside but werekind of bland 3 stars. The salad was Beautiful, with pear, Mango, (I think) gorgonzola cheese definitely a must before dinner 5stars. Bread was meh, kind of hard, not much flavor. 2 stars. The sea food pasta with small pieces of fish, clams, muscles,shrimp, squid and pasta in a red sauce was pretty darn good and the pasta was cooked perfectly Al dente 3.5 stars. Over all Ithink this place is solidly in the 3-3.5 star range. I will be back to try other menu items. Read more
