    I did not wine. I did not dine. The restaurant was closed which was not kind for a guy and his wife as fine as mine with a undrunk bottle of wine. Could you be so kind to inform us the next time!

    This place is phenomenal. I'm sad it will be moving from its southside location, but it sounds like they're retaining most of the staff so there should be little that actually changes besides that we now have to drive to visit them. Best of luck on the move!

    Try the stuffed hot banana peppers! The bread and oil, olives, and homemade hummus are excellent as well. Awesome Italian food!

    We love the food at Cucina Vitale. Looking forward to eating in the new location, especially during the holidays and for Seven Fishes. And yes, I'll even drive to Green Tree when you move!

    Always a fresh and delicious meal here, absolutely love their green and beans and the bread sticks for appetizers, salad and soup were both delicious. Main course we had 2 of the specials which were both out of this world and the desserts did not disappoint either!! We love this little place and are excited for their new location!!!
