Vito's Pizza of Port Jeff

Vito’s of Port Jeff pairs housemade Italian entrees with one of the world’s best side dishes: live music. Every Friday, Saturday, and Sunday night, performers such as opera virtuoso Carmelo Raccuglia and lounge singer Randy Berlient serenade diners with their silky-smooth vocals. Elvis impersonator Rick Virga also swings by the dining room to perform the King’s hit tracks and recite transcripts of his best-loved takeout orders.

Though these performers’ catchy ditties set toes to tapping, the restaurant’s old-world cooking still manages to steal the spotlight every night. Vito’s seasoned chefs sauce delicate cuts of seafood or hearty portions of chicken and veal, and they bake stuffed pastas until they bubble over with cheese and marinara.
