Our wedding was the best thanks to the services of Chef Vito!
From the onset when my wife and I began our journey of searching for the right food to have served at our wedding we knew this would be a tall order. We initially had a caterer in mi...nd however and in that respect we were glad it happened that way. We decided to test the waters with Yelp so we sent out a request for pricing and availability. We received many responses from our inquiry. Of all the replies we received Vittorio D’Urzo, or Chef Vito as we like to call him, responded to us. He quickly welcomed us to reach out to him. He introduced himself and personally sent his cell phone number to have a conversation. Our initial conversation was so pleasant. He let us know that anything we needed he would love to accommodate us to make sure our special day was properly handled. We knew from the moment we spoke to Chef we knew we had to have this person.
Chef Vito owns a restaurant in San Francisco, Trattoria de Vittoria, located in the West Portal neighborhood. He invited us to his restaurant to have a tasting session that same week. We were so delighted we could not wait to go and meet him in person. When we arrived he knew immediately who we were. He and his staff were so accommodating. We were treated like family. All the food we were served was nothing short of mouthwatering. The traditional, hearty Italian dishes we feasted on was in a category all in its own. Every dish is carefully handmade. If you never had homemade Italian food then you are in for a treat. We were so intrigued by the dishes he served that we chose to go with almost all the options. He took time to get to know us and crafted a menu that would work for us.
When the day came Vito and his staff arrived and when we saw how everything was setup for the first time we were beyond impressed! My goodness words could not describe the time and effort that went into how everything was prepared for our guests. Chef Vito was very accommodating in every way. He served us at the sweetheart table and always made sure to see if we were okay and needed anything. His staff were very courteous, professional, and attentive to our guests needs. We had a variety of food as it was a buffet style dinner service.
Our guests have been raving about the food and service. That is all we could have ever asked for! A note about his restaurant, it is a place of welcome! His restaurant has been featured on Check, Please! Bay Area (KQED) which is a food lovers television show. Anytime we visit San Francisco we make it a point to drive over to visit his establishment. His staff never forgets who you are. They are all very accommodating. They in many ways are an extension of Chef Vito, warm and friendly. His restaurant is always clean and well kept. If you are ever on the fence about what food you want to have catered, he will have you try other dishes to see what is acceptable. After all he wants to make sure that your big day is the best!
If you want your guests to walk away from your event or big day satisfied with what they had for food that day, then please look no further. You will get friendly, professional, and honest service in Vittorio. He is a classy, down to earth individual and you want to have people like that helping with any event. We were blessed and honored to work with Chef Vito and when the opportunity arises, we will acquire his services again!
Chef Vito will go above and beyond for you!!!
