    El lugar es muy tranquilo, da justo al malecón, así que cenas viendo el atardecer, las meseras y todo el staff es AMABILÍSIMO. Recomiendo al 100%. La comida es deliciosa, cené ancas de rana y ravioles de cordero, una delicia todo.

    We have been to Vitea many times and it is always a great experience. Our server, Antonio, is always great and provides excellent service. For example, we had what appeared to be a corked bottle of wine that had a funky taste. I’ve only experienced this in another restaurant once before and it’s awkward to ask for a replacement but he was very gracious about it. Now for the food. The Greek salad is one of the best I’ve ever had and we keep coming back for it. They also have an incredible lamb ravioli with a vegetable ragout that is out of this world. Finally, the ambience is very charming. Due to the heat we are inside with the AC and they had very nice Buddha bar style music that created a very pleasant vibe. We sat at the window with a view of the Malecón and later in the evening the fireworks from the pirate ship. In high season we usually sit outside since they have a large outdoor seating area. In either case, the view and setting are charming.

    Vitea always delivers, and last night's Restaurant Week dinner was no exception. Antonio and the young mesera took great care of us, and everyone loved their dishes - especially the pork chop with a huge slice of bacon encircling it and the vegetables with pureed plantains - just the right combination of savory and sweet! One friend loved her seafood pasta, and all of them were thrilled with the French Onion soup for which Vitea is known. My salad was delicious!
