    Vitolo 📍551 N. Fort Lauderdale Beach Blvd., Fort Lauderdale   🕰️ Open Sun – Thu 4 – 10 pm, Fri – Sat 4 – 11 pm   😁 Happy Hour Daily 4 – 7 pm   ☀️ Dine Out Lauderdale August 1 – Sept. 30, 2026 Sun. – Thu. 4 – 10 pm Four-Course Dinner $60 Per Person   📝 We had a great time dining at Vitolo for Dine Out Lauderdale! This is one of my favorite Italian restaurants in the County! Everything is delicious! And right now it’s a steal for a 4-course dinner. We started with Polpette, which is ground beef and pork meatballs, and the Calamari. Both very good! The Lobster Ravioli was amazing, with lobster and shrimp bites throughout! The Spicy Paccheria Alla Vodka was really good, with a nice kick to it from the Calabrian chili. The Pollo al Parmigiana was just perfect. Chicken was cooked just right and every bite was cheesy. And the Snapper Piccata was so fresh and crunchy, drizzled with a lemon caper sauce! The Tiramisu is one of the best I’ve ever had! Perfectly moist! The cocktails were also on point! They pay attention to all to every detail! Overall, it was a great experience and planning on coming back soon! Special thanks to our server Danny and our bartender Dan for great recommendations and service!   🍽️ Everything we Tried: Polpette Calamari Spicy Paccheri Alla Vodka Lobster Ravioli Pollo Al Parmigiana Snapper Piccata Tiramisu   Rosemarino Royale Dirty Martini Perfect Pear Emilio’s Manhattan   #vitolo #dineoutlauderdale #cesarslists

    Excellent food. Had the Meatballs and Lobster Ravioli. Started with the Calamari. The bread brought to the table was wonderful as well. Can get a little loud in first room with the bar but during our dinner it was fine.
