Vitaly Caffe - Costa Mesa

This place is original, in Italian and there is no comparison to its pastas, raviolis are also dope. Rebeca was our server, very professional. I definitely recommend Vitaly

Yummy and creative gelato alongside amazing coffee. Great service (thanks, Sebastian! and great assortment of gelato flavors.

AMAZING! We had a waitress who was absolutely fantastic. She could pronounce everything perfectly. I actually mistook her for the manager because she was that great. I had the special of squid ink pasta. Do not be afraid, it was unbelievably amazing! I also had several samples of gelato. 10/10. I will be going back.

Tortellini was delicious!! Very authentic handmade pasta. Gabriele creates a very inviting atmosphere to the place.

Perhaps it's just emblematic of the new COVID era that we live in but it does seem like you can't really get good service anywhere anymore. Ate there on Sunday for brunch with a friend. Neither of us had ever been there. I had reservations on open table not knowing how busy it would be but there was not really anyone to check us in or greet us or anyone paying attention to us at all so we asked the guy at the coffee station. He seemed uncertain as to what we should do. Finally one of the waiters came up and said sit anywhere you like. Ok that works. Took our drink order and then we had to flag him back down later to take our food order. It was not that busy but clearly place is understaffed. When we were done with our meal we once again had to hunt down staff to pay. We both ordered the Avogreen Toast. It wasn't really toast. It was lightly toasted. The pesto made the bread soggy. The potatoes were soft (I like a little crispier potatoes especially when bread is also soft) The dish was pretty but the flavours were bland. Pesto was heavy on lemon and less on parmesan and garlic. Still overwhelmed the 2 thin slices of Avo. Tomatoes were flavourless. Best thing about my dish was eggs cooked PERFECTLY. I would be willing to give the place another try (but wouldn't order the Avogreen again though). Overall not terrible but super underwhelming.
