Vito's joins a long list of Italian restaurants that I like almost as much as Papa Dio's. In some ways the food is better at Vito's.

The sauce at Vito's has large chunks of tomatoes and vegetables that at least seem more healthy than the typical red sauce. The pasta served on the side is better than the spaghetti at Papa Dio's, and the salad at Vito's is about as good as you can get in OKC.

From a sampling of several dishes I believe the Lasagna is the best dish at the restaurant (and I'm pretty sure it's the best lasagna in OKC). The beef and pork in the lasagna are almost in the form of meatballs that are cooked into the sauce, and are easy to remove if you are a vegetarian. Although I have enjoyed the other dishes at Vito's, I would definitely consider ordering the lasagna for a special treat.

The Chicken Parmesan was excellent as well, with tender chicken and a light sauce. The parmesan cheese slices lightly melted on top contribute as much as anything to the excellent quality of the dish.

The Eggplant Parmesan had the same excellent sauce and cheese as the chicken, and the eggplant had a good flavor (I would never classify eggplant as having an "excellent" flavor!). The eggplant was extremely salty, though, and its attractiveness diminished throughout the meal.

The home made fresh bread soaked in olive oil is addictive, almost assuring that you will feel nearly full before the meal even arrives.

Vito's is a small family run operation, and it is obvious that much care is taken to assure high quality. While there are some occasional misses, such as the eggplant, overall I would expect a great meal here.

Wine is available from the wine list or the house wines. It is interesting that the restaurant is open only in the evenings--perhaps the food tastes better because the staff is not spreading themselves thin trying to serve lunch every day as well.
