Vito Marcellos Italian Bistro - Conway

The reservation policy specifies no flip-flops, hats, or tank tops. The seating arrangement gives off more of a bar vibe than a restaurant atmosphere. The food was excellent, and the server was friendly. I just expected it to feel more like a restaurant rather than a bar.

I decided to stop by on a whim last night, having never heard of the place before, but the sign reminded me of the restaurants my parents used to take us to for special occasions. The interior had a nostalgic feel, reminiscent of a typical Italian restaurant from the 1980s, which we really enjoyed. Our server was fantastic; she shared the restaurant's history with us and promptly took our drink orders. When she returned with the drinks, she asked if we were interested in appetizers. We opted for the classic antipasto and the meatballs. The antipasto was meant for two, but with four of us at the table, there was still more than enough for everyone to have a taste—exactly what we were looking for. The meatballs came with two on the plate, and they were large, making them perfect for sharing.

Terrible experience. When we arrived, we were informed that they were fully booked for the night, yet there were plenty of empty tables. I won't be wasting my time here again.

My experience was awful. We arrived and were told they were fully booked for the night, even though there were plenty of empty tables. I definitely won't be coming back.

So delicious
