Don Vito's Italian Restaurant is a casual throwback Italian eatery in downtown Daytona Beach's historic retail and arts district, known for its unpretentious, traditional "meals you can't refuse." The mom-and-pop-style joint serves up some of the city's finest Italian fare at lunch and dinner, many of which come from fifth-generation family recipes. Classic pasta dishes include penne alla vodka, baked ziti, and homestyle lasagna, while land and sea fare includes favorites such as shrimp scampi, veal marsala, chicken piccata, and eggplant parmesan. Couples can also share 14 or 18-inch pizzas with toppings such as barbecue chicken, anchovies, broccoli, and ricotta or craft their own specialty calzones and strombolis. For casual lunch dates, hero sandwiches and shareable pizza pinwheels are offered, along with a selection of soups and salads.
