What a welcome presence Vito’s has brought to Sunderland. To be served by a total professional with food prepared by equally committed chefs was a pleasurable experience. We are fortunate to have some exciting restaurants in our city, yet the combination of high quality cuisine with service that has yet to be matched in any other establishment has brought a challenge to other restaurants.
