Business had me in Grand Rapids by myself on a Saturday night. I was looking for good Italian food, so I chose Vitale?s (in Ada) based upon prior reviews. Was told to expect 20 minute wait, but only had to wait about 8-10. The place was packed, so I anticipated lesser quality of service being alone amongst all tables of groups/families, but not the case; waitress was friendly and warm. Had Pasta all Spaeth with Minestrone for dinner and took a carryout Chicago Style Pizza for my Sunday meals (I like cold Pizza). Minestrone was a bit thick, probably late in the day, but it was very flavorful. Pasta portion was generous, and quite tasty. Only complaint was pizza sauce, to my taste, was too sweet, but that isn?t so much a complaint as personal taste. I?m not a local, but I would recommend Vitales.
Pros: Good Food, Good Portions & Genuinely Friendly
Cons: Pizza sauce too sweet
