Ristorante Vittorio in Newport

Seen mixed reviews online and listened to others who been to this restaurant. Decided to try and wasn’t disappointed. Atmosphere was right personally, our evening was during a weekday. Service & food was excellent. Would certainly go back.

Wonderful cozy atmosphere that made me feel like I was being welcomed into a family’s home to share a meal. The staff was friendly and helpful. The food was delicious! We enjoyed the linguine with king prawns and found it to be excellent. So happy that we stopped here for such a nice meal in a lovely setting.

Ordered spaghetti bolenaise it was awful dry no sauce would not recommend and definitely will not be revisiting,my wife couldn't eat hers and we was so looking forward to the evening

Absolutely loved our meal this evening! Special starter which was Hanger steak was one of the best I’ve ever had. Plenty of vegetarian options for my partner and finished off with white chocolate cheesecake and profiteroles. The atmosphere was perfect and staff were friendly and helpful.

Best restaurant in Newport by a long stretch. We would love to know how to make their pizza dough! Delivery is also top drawer.

As ever the food, service and atmosphere were just fantastic. Without doubt the best Italian restaurant in Newport that consistently delivers a great experience. The specials board offers something different every time that never disappoints and would heartily recommend.

Don't bother coming here if you have allergies. Told the waitress I have an allergy (as it is my responsibility to tell restaurants/food places otherwise they wouldn't know) she then told the chef who was right opposite me and he proceeded to roll his eyes and looked very annoyed and pissed off that I said I have an allergy, then walked off without saying anything. He made me feel like I upset or made him feel frustrated by finding out I have an allergy. I understand if I was being really picky but I ordered my meal with no changes or alterations, all I did was say I have a nut allergy just to be safe and of course picked a nut-free meal. My allergy is life-threatening, I wasn't trying to be awkward or annoying! The pork was nice but expensive. The interior looked lovely inside. You'll probably have a great time if you don't have any allergies but just be aware the chef will find it as an annoyance if you do. This type of reaction does not give confidence to customers with allergies if the chef reacts like this when they're meant to be cooking and preparing your food! Please train him to not behave like this in front of customers, especially when they are right in front of you!

Food a little disappointing.It was very busy and service was sketchy due to staff shortages.Had to go looking for waiter to re order drinks. Pasta dishes lacked flavour and seasoning.Probably won't return.

Pretty disappointing, looked forward to a family owned independent resultant, the food tasted microwaved and when asking for recommendations our waitress said “don’t know” and left it there.

We visited on a Saturday evening, the restaurant was busy but from the moment we arrived service was very attentive and friendly. We all had starters (meatballs and the burrata) and shared bread and oil, all were delicious. There is a good choice of Italian red wine which we very much enjoyed! I believe we had the Valpolicella Ripasso. For mains we had the Sea Bass, Gamberoni pasta and the Lamb which was on the Specials Menu. The Gamberoni and Sea Bass were lovely, really fresh, unfortunately the Lamb was slightly overcooked but otherwise ok. Definitely try the garlic bread it is sublime! The restaurant is really comfortable and atmospheric and the service was excellent throughout. I would definitely recommend, we are already planning our next visit (I want to try the pizza!) 🍕

I absolutely love this place and go there for everyone of my special occasions and date nights. The food is delicious and an explosion of tastes. My favourite to start is the creamy burrata that just bursts open with flavour enhanced by basil, tomatoes and balsamic to die for, but to be honest I have tried all the starters and they are all so good, love the calamari, the bruschetta and the arancini, full of flavour. My go to main is the Gamberoni the creaminess of the languostine sauce is just a dream to eat and one I regularly order and never regret, the pancetta e funghi is also so flavoursome and another favourite for the mister who also is a fun guy 😉 but tonight we had a treat with the specials board of almond semi freddo, oh my the flavours and textures was amazing, like my favourite turron, brittle and snickers bar rolled into a heavenly dessert…this so needs to stay on the menu. This is Newports best kept secret and the best Italian restaurant I have ever sampled. The staff are lovely, welcoming and friendly and super helpful in offering recommendations when you just can’t decide. I love this place!

Celebrated my mother's 60th tonight. An absolute pleasure from start to finish. Everything was cooked perfectly, brought out together and the service from Rebecca and the staff was second to none. I highly recommend the Slow roasted Pork and the Nutella Cheesecake. Well worth a visit you won't regret it.

Had a lovely meal here last night. Food was excellent & staff friendly & attentive . Lovely atmosphere in the restaurant. Would definitely recommend

This is the first restaurant I visited when arriving in Newport 5 years ago. The staff have always been friendly in this family run Italian but the atmosphere was rather dead on a Saturday night. The room was stifling hot and the food okay but not noteworthy- a little bland if I’m honest. We were doing a recce for a special family event next year but have crossed it off our list. Shame really.

We come here quite regularly and fair to say we have never been disappointed!! The food is spot on and full of flavour every time, so many great dishes, the truffle fries have also become a favourite for me.. The staff are brilliant and so friendly and welcoming too.. Definitely worth a visit if you’re looking for authentic Italian food 😋

We travelled from Australia to celebrate our anniversary with family and friends and couldn’t have picked a better restaurant to spend it at there was 14 of us and we booked our food prior to coming from the party menu all correspondence were done while we were still in Aus and all meals were correct, piping hot and delicious. Everyone enjoyed it and the service from the staff was impeccable. Thank you so much for making our night a memorable one Ann & Rob Coleman

The food was nothing special and rather bland. The food orders were wrong (which happens) but they added one tiny piece of squid to make my dish a Scoglio with a thin, tasteless sauce. The service was a bit like the Victoria Wood ‘2 soups’ sketch which added to the humour of the place but we certainly wouldn’t rush back there.

We celebrated my sons 18th birthday at Vittorios and the food was outstanding. The steak, chicken breast, pasta and pizzas were lovely. All the staff were amazing. Very friendly and helpful. We will definitely be visiting again. I would highly recommend Vittorios to anyone

Food was good and desert serving was generous. Advisable to make a booking if more than 5 people dining. The place can be a bit busy and nothing of similar dining options within the same street.

Lovely carbonara. Tasty cheese sauce with plenty of pepper. Thank you for accommodating my fussy mother! She enjoyed her seafood dish.

The food was very good and the service excellent. Recommend you try it, we will go again soon. The pizza was good and the spaghetti 🍝 was good.

First class Italian restaurant. Have been here several times and always had an enjoyable experience. Good choice on the menu and pleasant friendly staff. Food was great and will definitely come back.

Excellent meal. Chef accommodated allergies by cooking the meal individually and taking out the particular ingredients. Wine was beautifully chilled (I call ahead and request this). Prompt, efficient service.

We visited this superb Italian restaurant on the 7th April, From the moment we walked into the restaurant we was greeted by the very smart gentleman behind the bar the food was outstanding I had the seafood pasta consisted of mussels, king prawns and squid...

We joined some friends for food, this is the first time we have visited. The atmosphere was good and good selection of food, desserts and drinks. I had the chicken in mushroom sauce which was very tasty. The staff were pleasant and helpful.

Ate here as part of a big group and although we pre-ordered everything was freshly cooked. Great food, great service and friendly staff.

Service wasn’t the best.. had to remind them I ordered chips. Risotto was absolutely vile. Shame I had bug expectations as I’ve heard good things.

Outstanding in every single way! Service, food, atmosphere! The best New Years Eve dining ever! All the staff smiling all evening! What a great experience! Food incredible, and reasonably price!

Had my husband’s surprise 50th here with 43 of us. The food was delicious, the restaurant is lovely inside and the staff went out of their way to help me with the banners etc. Setting the tables up to make sure we were all sat...

The best pizza I’ve ever had and the pasta was pretty special too! Fantastic value for money and a lovely, friendly atmosphere. Will definitely return next time we visit Newport.

The restaurant was buzzing this evening, creating a lovely atmosphere. Although they were busy, the serving team were friendly, helpful and polite and the food was excellent, as always. Another great night at Vittorio’s

Vittorios is my favourite restaurant. I have been eating here since I moved to the area in the 1980s and I have yet to have a negative experience. The welcome is always warm and the food always tasty. The staff at Vittorios clearly enjoy their...

First visit and certainly won't be the last! Great place with fantastic service and food...really delicious! Traditional decor but not at all old fashioned. Good value!

Shown to our table by a very pleasant gentleman, and from then on in the whole evening was really lovely. We chose not to have a starter this time, so we could have dessert! The food as always was delicious service was fantastic and nothing...

I don't know why but never been here until today with friends. Has squid with king prawns lightly battered and garlic aoili, beef ragusa with cheesy garlic bread, was going to have dessert but too full! Nice atmosphere in the restaurant, friendly staff, great service...

If you haven't been to Vittorio's you are missing an authentic family run Italian restaurant. The closest you will get to being in Italy.

I’m really fussy with how I have my spaghetti with seafood and so many restaurants don’t get it right. Apart from Vittorios.....11/10 Was absolutely delicious. Everyone on our table were happy with their food. Good service as always. Another fantastic evening. Thank you.

Where do I start!! My husband says pick up was super efficient and safe. You are given a time slot to collect. So no messing around or wondering when it was going to be ready. We are vegetarians and there was so much option. We...

Been to this restaurant a couple of times and was privileged to try their vegan lasagne this week to takeaway my word.. It was gorgeous the flavours were spot on no runny oil not over powered by cheese top class ingredients this is the best...

We decided to treat ourselves to a pizza each after hearing Vittorio's had a new pizza oven. Me and my partner LOVE pizza and always travel to Cardiff to get the best, but with this on par, we now have our favourite food just on...

First time visit to this amazing restaurant. Friendly staff with excellent food. Without a doubt the best Italian meal.

Amazing local Italian restaurant. Social distanced tables. Food excellent as always. Lovely family run everyone so friendly and welcoming would highly recommends.

Another beautiful meal at my favourite local restaurant. With the announcement of another Wales lockdown we took the opportunity of an early birthday meal for myself and my daughter. Beautiful food and wine as always and all Covid precautions adhered to. Such a shame we...

Excellent service and excellent food. Lovely atmosphere and plenty of choice on the menu. The meatballs are also great and salmon pasta.

Lovely atmosphere, friendly staff and owners, and really really really nice food - no complaints whatsoever! Lovely family owned business with amazing food. We are definitely going to be coming back again!

Not sure why it’s taken so long for us to visit but finally made it this evening! First impressions were great setting great and staff friendly. We felt the food was ok but wished there was more emphasis on the quality rather than the quantity. It is so close in being great but no dish made you feel it was anything special. I wish the restaurant well and feel we should give it another chance!

Not our first or last visit. Excellent food as ever and the same relaxed atmosphere. We always look forward to eating at Vittorio's and are never disappointed.

We love coming to Vittorio's and do so quite often. It's a wonderful, authentic, family run Italian, resulting in a unique and relaxing dining experience. We loved all of our food. There is lots of choice for vegetarians, as well as stunning meat and fish based dishes. The desserts are divine and deliciously indulgent ❤ Can't wait to visit again, it's Newport's little gem xxx

We had another great meal here on Friday night. Everybody’s meals were all delicious, I had a lamb rump from the specials board which was perfectly cooked and sauce was really tasty. Great ambience and attentive staff - tables are all spaced out and feels very safe. Definitely worth a visit, you won’t be disappointed!

Our family had a really enjoyable meal here last week and want to commend both the chef and friendly staff for both the lovely food and for making the restauranrt feel very safe for eating in the current circumstances. It was good to come back and enjoy the old favourites like the Polpette and Melanzane followed by some delicous pasta dishes inc Salsiccia and Lasagne.

Last minute decision, so we needed to sit down at 5.30pm because they were fully booked after 6pm. Excellent service from a friendly experienced team. Lovely food, we had meatballs and calamares for starters and seafood pasta and pizza for main course. All superb, together with an excellent Sicilian red wine.Totally recommended.

Superb friendly and professional service. Good menu choices especially the " specials " board. Well presented and prepared meals which fully satisfied our tastes and expectations. Have already booked a return visit

This is my favourite Italian Restaurant in S Wales. Food is excellent, there is always a good choice on the menu for every taste. The service Is impeccable & friendly. The atmosphere Is welcoming and relaxed but it’s not a place to wear your old jeans and scruffy T shirt in.

What can I say... it's not often that you visit an Italian restaurant outside of Italy where the food is so authentic, made with love and tastes unbelievable!! The gamberoni linguine was absolutely beautiful, and of course, the tiramisu was the perfect end to a lovely dinner! The staff were so attentive, especially considering what a busy Saturday evening it was. A lady sat on the table next to us had even tipped her drink all over the table and herself, and the staff all rushed to help her and were so thoughtful! Can't believe I've lived in Newport all these years and this was my first visit, will 100% be back again soon, thank you so much!!

This was our first meal eating out after the lockdown restrictions and we wouldn’t have gone anywhere else for that first meal! It was so lovely to be able to go back into Vittorio's. Absolutely loving the new decor and the food was stunning, as always! I was so excited to have my favourite Carbonara a special thanks to Owen for the extra special touch for our son Richie’s birthday

The best Italian in Wales. Had another fantastic meal here. The seafood pasta was amazing. Love the new decor as well.

I’m not one to go for pizza in a restaurant, but after seeing the pictures of chef Owen’s pizzas online I wanted to try one and I’m so glad I did! So tasty and the dough is amazing, the price is so reasonable too. Our table had a variety of things from pasta dishes, fish, steak, also starters and desserts, and everything was absolutely spot on. The tiramisu was stunning. Service was great too, and the restaurant has a cosy authentic feel. Can’t wait to come back again soon.

Wow what can i say we visted here for a friends 30th and we were not disappointed, the food was outstanding the service was equally amazing well done guys we will 100% be coming again and highly recommend to others.

Thank you Vittorios for an absolutely perfect introduction back into some resemblance of normal. My friends Booked here for a meal for 6 people to celebrate my 30th Birthday. Due to COVID restrictions I have not eaten out anywhere since March and was slightly nervous to be back into the normal swing of things. Vittorios made us feel comfortable safe and secure with amply distanced dining, good controls and is spotlessly clean.Now onto the most important part - the food. Just WOW. I am a very fussy eater, and have to say the food was absolutely superb. I went for a garlic bread for starter and fillet steak for main. Every single forkful was delicious. The steak was cooked to perfection, with all accompaniments the perfect addition to the excellent cut of meat. Prices are so so reasonable for the quality of food. We all had something a little different, and it was a testament to the chef that we all enjoyed every meal we had. Owen and his team of consummate professionals are welcoming, friendly and professional throughout and followed all measures to make sure we as guests were safe as well as staff. An extensive drinks menu meant that all persons had something to chose from. Thank you so much for our evening. I had an amazing time celebrating my birthday in an establishment which is an absolute asset to the local area!!

I cannot recommend this place enough. Had beautiful food here last night with excellent service. I loved how authentic and traditional the restaurant felt. Looking forward to returning for another slice of Italy.

I can’t remember the last time I left a review here. But this is well deserved. I visited tonight with my wife and 3 year old daughter. The fact that my daughter ate a whole plate of bolognese, is in itself a 100% good food guarantee. I ordered the salsicia for starters and wish I’d also ordered it for main and dessert. The flavours. Wow. A medium steak followed, which unfortunately left no room for dessert. The steak however was cooked to perfection and the sides just enough. Amazing food. Great service. Cannot wait to go again.

“ I FELT LIKE THAT WAS MADE WITH LOVE” the words that came out of my husbands mouth after demolishing his fillet steak Delicious!!!! Meals piping hot, full of flavour and great portions. Don’t forget to check the specials as we had the fillet steak and it was like butter!!!! We can’t wait to go back. We were so well looked after. Thank you team

I would start off by saying that this is by no means a ‘bad review’, I think Vittorios is the one of the best restaurants in Newport and definitely recommend it. The food has always been really great. However, last night I was left disappointed for the first time. The menu has been changed and no longer includes meat mains, so only pasta and pizza. It was my boyfriends birthday that we booked for, and he likes neither of those things very much, and always goes for the chicken option. So he ordered pasta, only to see that the table next to us all had meat dishes. As we left we saw the specials board, at the other end of the restaurant from us, that nobody had bothered to point out to us.. It was a shame because we would have definitely gone for what was on there (& would’ve spent a lot more money).Also, we did wait a long time for both courses, which I was expecting anyway with the eat out to help out scheme going on and it being so busy, but one waitress came to us and said ‘are you still waiting’ but didn’t bother to even apologise when I said yes, which I thought was quite rude..We will definitely still be back,and these comments are more so that other people at least know that there is a specials board, and it’s not just a pizza/pasta menu.

Vittorio’s was a restaurant I frequented in my 20’s now as a mum of two, it is my daughters favourite restaurant. We have been twice in last two weeks. The owners and staff of this family run restaurant are very welcoming whilst remaining professional at all times. The food is delicious. It is a gem of restaurant and feels like the real Italy. Tonight we overheard a couple complaining about everything before storming off, the way they spoke to the owners and staff was despicable. The owner tried to positively resolve the issues to no avail, the couple were so rude to the staff and it really was uncalled for. Vittorio’s thank you for a gorgeous meal, thank you for being so welcoming and your amazing hospitality - we will be back.

Lovely Italian dishes and specials menu. Hats off to the very friendly staff who have been very hard working and inviting and made me appreciate this restaurant even more. Will be visiting again.

Absolutely wonderful evening! Highly recommended ! A select menu with the chef spoiling us with little taster dishes throughout our evening. We selected the Cozza as our starter . Followed by our mains the Calabria pizza and the Scoglio . Finishing off with Tiramisu. Return visit very soon .

Pasta was perfectly cooked, flavours well balanced and good portions. Nice atmosphere. There is a park just a few minutes down the hill where you can have a stroll after to complete a romantic night out.

We had a fantastic time at Vittorios celebrating our 8th anniversary. Everything from the mood and atmosphere, the service and the food was incredible. Definitely be celebrating there again soon!

Visited last night with our family beautiful food and amazing customer service as always. Felt very safe to eat inside would highly recommend

Superb Italian experiance with great service in a lovely setting. We would recomend you try them. We will be back as soon as restrictions are lifted. Supporting local buisness.

I have been to this lovely family run restaurant numerous times and can honestly say I love it the food is delicious always piping hot and tastes so good. It’s child friendly and lovely and clean the staff are always welcoming and nothing is to much trouble.

Popped in for lunch on a very wet Friday. Excellent choice of dishes including a good lunchtime menu at a very reasonable price . Lasagne was excellent - hot and very tasty. Had to have some cheesy garlic bread with it too. Desserts on lunchtime menu were good. Obviously if tiramisu is on offer it would be rude not to have some. All round great lunch which we hope to repeat soon.

What a gem! A beautiful restaurant with excellent service and superb menu. We had Sunday lunch which was exceptional quality. Book a table, at a REAL Italian restaurant, you feel welcome and at ease as soon as you walk in....and the food really is ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

If your looking for tasty real Italian food this place is a must. Went for valentine's night, great atmosphere, and the food and service is second to none! They really cannot do enough for you. The waitresses were rushed off their feet, as no doubt was the kitchen, but keep it well hidden! They were very attentive made sure you were happy without being intrusive. The best Italian experience ever! Cannot recommend this restaurant enough. Thanks to all concerned for a fantastic night.

We went to Vittorio for a homely and relaxing evening with our sons, we got exactly what we wanted. Easy, comfortable and tasty. Home cooking is always a crowd-pleaser.

Haven't visited here in over a decade, wont be that long to my next visit I can ensure you. Fantastic meal including starters through to our mains, being the meatballs and lamb, both fantastic. I should have asked where they had sauced the lamb from as it was the best I have tasted in a very long time, cooked to perfection. Staff were attentive, restaurant comfortable. An overall excellent dining experience, thank you..

Italian cooking is about fresh ingredients, good flavours and food from the heart. With a wide range of daily specials, some traditional dishes done with a bit of a twist, friendly service and the feeling of a real family restaurant in Italy Vittorio's is the real deal. Family owned and run, it offers authentic Italian food. A great place for an evening with friends and family - good food at sensible prices. Try the meatballs, pizzas but leave some room for the profiteroles or risk disappointment. Many excellent celebrations and casual lunches too - why would you even think of going somewhere else?

Had Sunday lunch here food was beautiful, plenty of choice and all hot food was served hot! The deserts where rich & tasty.
