One of my favorite places to visit is Bishop's Art District. My favorite restaurant, Tillman's, is located there, a well as some new up and comers like Bolsa!!
Vitto Italian has been there since my first foray into O.C., and we finally decided to drop in and give this Italian place some business.
Let it be known that it is BYOB, which really...is kind of one of my favorite things.
The atmosphere is pretty average....red table tops, Parmesan in a shaker, some cute features inside, but nothing that's going to knock your socks off. That's okay, though, because the first thing they set down on the table will de-sock you!
These little garlic rolls are the real deal. Made with pieces of garlic that will remain with you long after you leave, and covered with butter, you can't resist.
The Mozzarella Tomato salad was so fresh and summery. The pesto was more creamy and less olive-oily than I was used to, but the tomatoes were primo and huge, the basil was fresh, and the mozzarella was delicious!
Katie ordered up the Chicken Limone, which was in a light lemon sauce with fresh steamed veggies and garlic mashed potatoes. The taters tasted just like grandma's...all natural, no preservatives.
I ordered the spinach ricotta tortellini served with a cream sauce. It was passable, but not my favorite. Half came out cold and the sauce had already set by the time it arrived at the table.
That being said, give this funky little dive of an Italian place a second glance.
