I know who has been there agrees 100% but I imagine that if the writers of the two negative reviews did not have a satisfactory meal for whatever reason then it must be said that it surely cannot be with the food!

This is a well run Italian family restaurant.
The staff are friendly and have been there for a number of years.
A good menu with regular specials.
Not cheap, but not overpriced
After a number of visits we have never had a bad meal at Vittorios.

Ristorante Vittorio: Do Yourself a Favour and Read a Real Review ! (436 words)

Whilst looking for Vittorio's Telephone number I thought I misread something on the web page (google search) but NO! Someone, in fact two, separate people (apparently but no guarantee), had rather negative comments about the restaurant! Apart from not being able to spell half the words they wrote, and in poor English, made me wonder if they were the same person. However, I really must put the record straight. This restaurant is renowned for being one of the very best in South Wales and beyond and everyone I know who has been there agrees 100% but I imagine that if the writers of the two negative reviews did not have a satisfactory meal for whatever reason then it ...

One of the worst meals I have ever had! The facade of the building makes the place seem appealing and welcoming. Nice area to have a drink and review the menu - the menu being laminated and was probably updated in 1980. Menu sounds good and the fancy descriptions and prices vary from £8 - £14 for main menu. Chicken and steaks were highly placed. Which is average and you would hope that the meal would come out as described. The service was slow and had to ask for wine list. The food was thrown down instead of placed. Complementry bread was thin sliced economy stuff with wrapped butter pats. Garlic mushrooms to start ... Read the complete review

Another example of Newport's poor food culture! In April 2003 we visited this restaurant on a Friday night. Then the whole thing went down hill. The menu was typical laminated sort of thing and looked like it hadn't changed for years. I chose Chicken in red wine with shallots (£12) and my partner Fillet steak and pepper sauce (£14). We had to wait ages to get served and then get a wine list. Bread on the table was the thin cheap variety and then I knew that I was going to be disappointed. Finally our food came and straight away I knew 'oh my god' where was the red wine and shallots, the chicken lump was ... Read the complete review
