Vito Lounge in Fareham

Going to Vito Lounge in Fareham is always a great pleasure. The staff is always very polite and helpful, keen to make sure you have a pleasant experience. The food is also very good, never disappointed whatever we tried. Definitely recommend for an enjoyable meal. We found out tonight that it is not possible to book a table in advance for a group of less than six, which at times may be inconvenient.

Staff were amazing.super happy there was a gluten free menu as I'm celiac and the food was absolutely delicious 😋

Been a few times, like the food choices and have always been happy with what I've had.

Tried the new menu today had the Spicy Brisket and Birria Dip Tacos was really good. The quality and portion with combo of the salsa and chips with the tacos and dipping sauce delicious. Would highly recommend.

We went on an "open mic" night. Great atmosphere and music, I am sensitive to noise so wore ear plugs. The service was really good and they listened to my dietary requirements and offered suggestions. Their cocktail selections are pretty good too. I recommend the Cherry Bakewell Tart cocktail 🍸

Went out with friends and family for a birthday celebration, 13 of us. Was awful from start to end. Sat down told to order from the bar and given menus including allergens as 1 of our party has allergies, she was told to use QR Code to check what food was available to her. Went to bar unfortunately 5 people behind it only 1 person serving. After about 5 mins we got barked at by Maz (she features alot, we will refer to her as Basil) to move to the other end of the bar to be served where other people were already stood and waiting, Ok not great but fair enough. We place our orders by family, a number of options not available which would have been handy to know when we were seated. Eventually all but the family with the allergy had ordered. She had a few questions as some of what the QR code was suggesting wasn't what she would not normally see as available to her. The staff member couldn't answer any of her questions and then the meal she chose wasn't available... she ended up having to order a salad. When she asked about the dressings she was told she could have tabasco sauce, not really a salad dressing. As you can imagine by this point she's loosing the will to live. Salad was ordered and she decided rather than eat a dry salad she'd walk to Tesco to get her own dressing. At this point our meals were brought at different stages to the table. I was asked by a member of staff if my meal was ok, i complained that my friend had to walk to Tesco as nothing on the menu suitable for her. When my friend returned her family's food was brought to the table and this is when Basil turned up. First I thought she'd come to apologise but instead she went into the most patronising rude spill that the bottle of dressing was dangerous and must not be shared with anyone else on the table (if she'd cared to notice everyone else had finished their food) this went on and on. I have never heard anyone in the hospitality industry ever speak to a customer in such a way and the fact she's preaching to someone with allergies about allergies was farcical. Not once did she apologise she just went on and on. When another member of the table told her to stop being rude her response was im not talking to you before flouncing off. When the manger was called for Basil said "why she's busy". The manger did come and after a good 20 minute discussion 2 meals were refunded. The whole night was ruined none of us ate together 2 people didn't eat their meals due to the commotion. Some of us had to leave whilst it was still being resolved. On my way out I asked what Basils name was and the assistant manager asked me why. He said "yeah she doesn't mean it it's just her way and I've been watching what went on." Really... you wouldn't think to intervene... Not a cheap night out. £68 for 3 of us. On the way out Basil could be seen laughing, singing and dancing behind the bar, Couldn't make it up. Never again next time go to Karen's diner you'll get better service.

Again the place itself and staff welcoming and lovely that you can take dogs. Food much improved and a lovely atmosphere. Thank you

Food was so nice ,been a few times and it's lovely in there

Very good food and drinks brilliant atmosphere

The staff were very friendly and the cocktails were amazing

Went for brunch and had the Lounge Breakfast and Biscoff milkshake, both lovely! Good service too 🙂

Nice chilled vibe in a cosy environment. Great food at reasonable price.

Love this place, amazing food and great atmosphere. Really child friendly and great for gluten free / vegan.

I usually love the vibe in the Vito. Unfortunately we were next to the party table on Saturday and ended up moving because of the noise.

Food is great, but service sadly lacking. Was in 10.30am for breakfast on Sunday. Staff abrupt, didn't appear to want to be there and so SCRUFFY Maybe some more customer training and the introduction of uniforms?

It's a,shame this place has not improved its service. It has always been bad but has got progressively worse. Its mainly the bar staff who ignore customers waiting for a very long time. Don't when acknowledge they are waiting. Have even had 1 turn their back on me waiting at the bar. They are rude & clearly don't want to serve anyone. It's a shame as the food is very nice but after many visits & the,service just getting worse I'm fed up & won't be going again.

The biggest issue with this place is the shocking service. Its always pretty poor but has definitely got worse. The staff serving behind the bar are ignorant & clearly don't want to serve you. They ignore anyone waiting at the bar, even if they're doing nothing at the time. They don't even acknowledge you to say I'll be with you in a minute. It's almost like you're a nuisance to them. This is even when its really not busy. It's a shame as the food is lovely, although portions on the small side. I have been several times but won't be going again as I'm really fed up now with the appalling service

Great pub, bar, restaurant, friendly service and dog friendly

Great local establishment. Always welcoming with a great atmosphere.

The meals for two people took 45 minutes to arrive, and I found the house slaw to be very disappointing. The chicken was quite greasy, which suggested it was deep-fried at too low a temperature. I left feeling dissatisfied. While the staff worked hard and tried to make things right by offering more coleslaw, it was too late by then. Call me old-fashioned, but I expect any meal I pay for to be cooked well and presented nicely. Unfortunately, that was not the case here; I probably should have gone to the McDonald's across the street instead.

Warm and welcoming, dog friendly and great food selection. Can be a bit noisy downstairs but there are a few seats up top for privacy, albeit that the loos are nearby! We loved the tapas and generally the prices are good. Just like Panero Lounge in Southsea, this is great marketing.

Lovely! The staff are energetic, friendly and personable. Food was great and the whole venue had a buzz full of chatting and laughter. Kids friendly.

Really enjoyed it here. Visited for my son's 10th birthday after searching for the best family restaurants. We were looked after by Beth who was very attentive. We eat tapas and drank cocktails. Tapas was lovely. Fun atmosphere and my son loved it, especially the giant sundae with a candle and everyone singing happy birthday 🎂

Food is lovely. I like the decor. There is a nice.atmosphere

Fabulous venue. Food was lush. Will definitely be back.

We were in Fareham on a shopping trip and decided to have lunch in Vito Lounge. Staff were friendly enough But the food was cold when it arrived, and had to be sent back No apologies, would I eat there again, no far better establishments in the area .

Beautiful place, great atmosphere, friendly staff and lovely unusual menu.

Great atmosphere, very welcoming staff, great food, never disappointed with Hannah and her team. Definitely the place to meet and drink or dine in a relaxed chilled environment. Probably the best lounge we visit, and we visit a load as we can always rely on a good experience from the lounge group, but fareham with its great team puts it at the top for us.

Our favourite date night spot. Great food and drinks at a reasonable price. Tea in the evening though had been a little hit and miss. Service has always been great and the seating and atmosphere is perfect

First visit but won't be the last, good service, great atmosphere and excellent food.

4 of us went for dinner and drinks, been a few times, lovely setting and food but service was dire, barked at on entry to stand at the end of the bar, went to the bar to order food and was literally stood there for 15 mins, 2 people behind the bar both aware we and another gentleman were stood there and they both carried on one washing up and one fiddling with the coffee machine, no acknowledgement or even a quick 'will be with you shortly' just ignored, we ended up asking a passing waiter if anyone was serving, when we finished our meal the dirty plates were left on the table after 30 mins we asked to have them taken away which they were - not very happily, none of the staff were welcoming or warm. We left after the meal as once again my husband was stood at the bar unacknowledged for over 10 mins so we left not having our final drink, I think service is everything and if the manager had seen the sloppy, unfriendly, lacklustre efforts he was paying for last night he may well be having a staff shuffle, thin sour faced woman with long bleached blonde hair was the main culprit - not impressed.

Great coffee here and decent food

Lovely food, great variety. Accommodate for Gluten Free. Pleasant staff and nice atmosphere

Too busy.....not enough staff to support behind the bar/counter today. One very frazzled member of staff..... however she was incredible 😊 Sort the rota to support the busy periods......

Much like all the other lounge venues ,solid service and quality food ,enjoyable

2nd time we have visited. Excellent

After Fareham Live opened last week, you would have thought there would be some joined up thinking on trade. With over 800 people leaving the venue at just after 10pm. I was surprised to be told they stopped serving drinks when I walked in at 10.20pm. lots of trade lost I will expect. The slug was picking it all up.

First visit here. Was very impressed. Nice food,goid value. Staff very helpful and friendly. Only 1 problem, you can't book,so you chance just turning up and not getting a table.

Such a relaxed atmosphere, nice service, a cross between a pub and a cafe , a good place to meet with friends.

Quite good food with a good wine list . Mixed seating from sofas to table & chairs . Reasonable prices

Good food, really nice staff and a comfortable atmosphere.

Great food, friendly service, lovely atmosphere. Gluten free menu for my wife was also really appreciated. Will visit again next time we are in the area.

Only here for drinks with family , great place and atmosphere

Visited for brunch with my teenage daughter. It was midweek and I was impressed that there was a toddler play area setup in the corner (despite my kids being way too old for this now!) I wish that had been about when my kids were younger - great idea! We ordered the bacon and maple pancakes, banoffee milkshake, Americano and a Miami Brunch. Everything was served speedily and with professionalism and we felt it was fantastic value. The standout winner was the Miami Brunch which not only tasted amazing but is a unique dish you don’t find very often and also looked so pretty. We’ll definitely be back!

A very busy and friendly place,kids looked after with crafts and colouring to do,order food and drink from app on table or at bar,take cash and card,friendly and helpfull staff

Popped in for a drink while waiting for an appointment. While the greeter was pleasant and welcoming I refuse to have to open an account to order a pot of tea, this is pure data mining. I appreciate that the system is great when ordering food and cocktails but it is ridiculous that if coming in for one drink you spend longer downloading a data rich site to place your order than you do drinking it. Thank you for your reply however we advised that we had to order via the app. I would have much preferred to go to the bar and order.

Every experience I've had at Vito has been top notch. There was one time (distant past) that my food came out cold, I told the waiter and they were ever so kind about it and even gave me a free drink of my choice to make up for it. For that, I'm still going to give a perfect rating. Good customer service is providing good service, great customer service is knowing how to make up for a mistake, and Vito can do just that.

Thank you to all the lovely people who work at Vito Fareham. The food is fantastic, really important for us having gluten and dairy intolerances, we still have so much choice. Nothing is too much trouble, such a lovely atmosphere created by your excellent team. Absolutely love coming here. See you again soon. 💜💜🙏🙏🙏

Great visit here for late breakfast. Staff very friendly and helpful and food is always of a good standard and well presented. Reasonable prices in this day and age with the cost of living and love the coffee. Atmosphere is always good in these lounges throughout the day and love the quirky decor. We will be back.

Tasty food and great decor. The free glass of wine with a Monday evening dinner offer is great value for money!

Me and my partner honestly love this lounge to bits, every time we come in here the service is top draw and everyone is so lovely. They serve an all day menu which is absolutely amazing, can’t recommend this place enough!! Guarantee you will love it!

I had the buttermilk chicken along with several other guests. Definitely overcooked- some were inedible and sent back. I now have an upset stomach. Will not be going back

Loved the food, the staff are very polite and the atmosphere is amazing, we did find a burnt baby broccoli in our sweet potato chips which was a bit confusing but not a case for concern, the calamari was amazing 😍, will definitely come here again.

You are shown to a table of your choice but we sat for ages expecting table service but you were not informed you had to order at the counter. So maybe better communication please guys.

I have been to at least 4 lounges and can say consistently is very good , i alway look to see if there is one in the area I'm visiting as they have an extensive GF menu which I love coupled with being dog friendly it’s a win win situation!

Took my grandson out for bunch the food was great and the little people menu was great too. I eat here a lots and have never been disappointed. Great job guys

Breakfast mushrooms cold bacon tough and overcooked they put black pepper on egg cant stand pepper .toast should come on side as it was soggy not buttered .coffee really nice and cocktail was also.staff were brilliant 👏

Food was fresh, hot and delicious. We both had a Flatbread and were delicious and pack with flavour. Lovely atmosphere and staff. Love Vitto

We both had the Korean prawns which were delicious , quesadilla, and calamari. The only let down was the fries. They were overdone, and didn't taste fresh we both left ours. Other than that will return, as everything else was tasty.

Love it here Service and food quality Fantastic

Fathers Day treat. First time nice place and setting.

Such an incredible place to come for breakfast, lunch, dinner, coffee or cocktails. Food and drink is always 10/10. Service is fast and friendly.

Visited for a family birthday meal. Very easy to book for all 9. Staff could not have been more friendly, attentive and helpful throughout. Amazing food choices, including options for the vegans in our group. Family friendly, great atmosphere and plenty of time to enjoy the good food and good company. Thanks to the whole team at Vito Lounge for a great time. Will definitely book again.

Really enjoy going here, nice vibe to the place with a great menu to suit everyone at very reasonable prices. Highly recommend trying them if you haven't been before.

Great atmosphere scrummy food and brilliant staff easily accessible for folks in wheelchairs lots of room to move n maneuver 😀 def worth a shot 👌👍

This place is the absolute best for a breakfast/brunch or evening meal and drinks. It's our family go to as it caters so well for the children and my husbands gluten free needs too. The service has always been top tier and we've never had a bad meal. I definitely recommend trying it out if you haven't already.

Nice ambiance and the decor stands out. The chef doesn't know how to cook steak but otherwise the food is pretty good

A good menu selection, friendly staff. Food was tasty.

Great vibes here the decor is great very eclectic, food is good staff could be a little better

Great choice of food for those with allergies or specific diet choices.

Really cute place, nice ambience however we went for the tapas Tuesday offer - get 3 tapas and you get a free glass of house wine - it wasn’t made clear when placing the order using the QR code how to do this and after telling the first person this they were of no great help and then the second person I spoke to said I had to go order at the bar. At this point we were half way through our dinner and had already ordered other drinks anyway. Also, service tip was asked for when ordering food online, I hadn’t actually been “served” yet for me to be able to give a tip?

Really nice place for family get-together and meal.

Very dog friendly Good selection of food and drinks Service was good

Good food, great atmosphere and the dog got a puppachino.

All day food, a little quirky, nice staff and dog friendly.

Went on a Monday night so was fairly quiet, however it was busy by the time I left. Had the tapas, which were really good.

We fancied a breakfast and both of us had to compliment the chef, I went for the big breakfast and I've got to say... it was 👌, nice seeded bread and actually nice sausages with everything cooked to perfection and hot as it was served. Really could not fault it.

Love at first sight!! From the decor, to the service with a smile, to the most delicious full English brekkie with a pot of tea... literally a proper gem 🥰

Querky lounge. Good ambience Service was fine though not warm, just functional and slightly detached I was thrown off a bit when asked if I wanted tomato ketchup with my caesar salad 🥗 😂😂😂 Salads are a good indicator of chef ability as often, they are thrown together with little finesse or skill This caesar was 'ok'. It lacked anchovies, even though I requested at ordering. Not sure I saw any dijon in their either The dressing was excessive and led to the leaves just being a floppy mess. I would not order it again I get the feeling that the food is good if you order the routine or signature dishes

Really enjoyed the food and service. Was unsure what to eat so asked Will - the guy taking our orders - what he would recommend. His recommendations were spot on and loved every second of the burger and triple cheese fries. Bravo Will, you areh hero!

Great setting with eclectic art and warm lighting, the background music is the perfect volume as well. A table of 17 we had Will, the assistant manager, come over and take our order in person instead of the normal method of ordering at the bar. This meant that all the food came out within a minute or two of each other, nothing forgotten or cold.

Beautiful lounge with the cosy art and lighting you come to expect from the Lounge chain. Wonderful food with some new additions as of March 2024. Service was impeccable, Manager Will and all the staff made us feel welcome and were courteous and helpful. Food was delicious, recommend the tapas menu and churros for dessert. Excellent iced coffee (Pictured). Can recommend to anyone who wants a relaxed evening or just a chilled out lunch.

Popped in for an Easter Sunday lunch to Will who seated us with our little one in a perfect spot, the tables are spaced so nicely, not too crammed in. Will recommended the Garlic Kiev after me giving him the options of that and the ciabatta club, but warned me of the garlic (which is still repeating on me now and I've got absolutely no complaints about it) the Garlic Kiev burger was delightful! I'm a fan of strong taste so abit of garlic was no challenge for me. The service was second to none! Will and the team made sure we were comfortable, our food came out in a timely manner and checked back in to see if everything was OK. We'll definitely be visiting again! Thanks Will and Team!

Visited on Sunday, honestly the best burger I've ever had. Whoever added the Kiev burger to the menu is a hero and the chefs did a great job! Our server was Will and he was fanstatic, very accommodating and friendly. All the staff were generally so good. Will absolutely visit again!

We had a lovely time . Our home in Havant is ready for a lounge like this . It doesn't have a nice restaurant anymore which is so sad . You would get the punters in I am would wager ..

Love this place. Easy ordering/paying on smartphone or ordering via staff. Great menu & reasonable price.

A bit of a disappointing visit today. I am usually a regular here (and other of their lounges), but today was a really let down. After a 30 minute wait, the food was not as described, and had to send back some of it. I know you were busy, but the quality food suffered, which is a shame.

Located in Fareham pedestrian area. The bus station and taxi rank is next door. There is plenty of parking around. Inside there is plenty of seating, however the day we went we had to be seated by one of the team, when there was no need as there were plenty of empty tables. Self serve on line or at the bar. Team are friendly and professional. Food came in a short period of time. Little disappointed with one of the meals - the potatoes in the sauce and chicken were meant to be crispy, yet they were soggy.

This was my 1st visit, and I loved the decor and atmosphere 😍 only went to meet a friend for coffee but was really impressed 👌

Great food, lovely chilled atmosphere and very attentive staff. Will be going back soon

Nice little place and nice location

Incredible environment, chill and cozy but airy and bright. Fantastic food, great portion size and good coffee

Return visit had the tapas deal. Had the Brixton Beer its delicious only place Fareham that has it.

Wonderful mix of dish flavours 🍔🍜🍲 & drinks 🍻 Staff were a pleasure to be around, even having been run off their feet for the day. It's got a very easy going vibe, people having a drink and a meal, catching up, or even playing some board games. There's something here for everyone.

Nice atmosphere and quirky decoration with lovely bold colours. Food was good but a little slow between receiving one of the breakfast items ordered and the other one. Once it arrived it was tasty but we had to eat separately! Menu had a range of options and reasonably priced.

Absolutely love eating here. Very good, varied menu. Friendly serving staff and really enjoy the quiz nights.

A good selection of freshly cooked food served with a smile. Decor is eclectic with mismatched chairs, a variety of individually decorated tables and some interesting pictures on the walls. They have a range of games and colouring materials for restless children or adults.

Lovely cafe, although a bit expensive, but it's great to see so many penguins

Staff seemed slow and unhappy,ordered 2 x breakfasts ,one came out and after waiting and asking where the other one was found out they had taken payment but not put the order through, after waiting they offered a free coffee but seemed reluctant to ,will not be returning

Have never had a bad meal here the food is lovely and reasonably priced and the service is good
