Vitalia Staten Island Reviews
This restaurant is a hidden gem! Amazing food, generous portions, cozy atmosphere, warm and welcoming staff. We have been here many times but went this weekend with a large group. Everything was superb. Try it. You will not be disappointed. 🥰❤️🍸🍷
This was my first visit here and I’m blown away by how amazing the food and service was. Kim was my server and she was absolutely sweet and knowledgeable. I got the filet mignon and penne vodka and it was to die for. Oh and I can’t forget about the Bloody Mary. It’s the best I’ve ever had. I highly recommend coming here. I promise you, you won’t be disappointed.
First time at this restaurant for my 36th Anniversary. My husband and I could not believe the quality of food. A very welcoming staff even sang to us. Everything was just delicious. I am very fussy with food but baked clams amazing. Shrimp Oreganata just perfect and oysters for my husband. Drinks and desert terrific! Can’t say anything more. So happy we found a great place to eat! Thankyou for everything!
The food is excellent, the service was perfect, they are friendly and welcoming. The drinks were perfect. The owners are a husband and wife they are so nice. You have to try this restaurant you won’t be sorry. You will love it
A true hidden gem! The waterfront location is beautiful, and the calamari is the best I’ve ever had. Kymberly is an exceptional waitress—warm, attentive, and makes a fantastic espresso martini. She makes you feel like family. I love everything about this place—the food, the atmosphere, and the drinks (even if they’re a bit on the pricey side).
I found this place on Google maps and brought my fiancée one day to try it out. The weather was perfect to sit outside and we arrived before it got crowded. We had an amazing time. Our waitress was incredibly knowledgeable. Our food was delicious and our time spent was delightful. This place is a real gem, my fiancée and I have been telling everyone we know about it since.
This is an exceptional location on the bay. Surprising, romantic, amazingly tasty, cozy, not expensive for this level of cuisine. It is so delicious that there are no words! Cafe in a quiet residential area. Good for dinner! It is definitely worth a visit and you will definitely add it to your list of your favorite places!
I recently had the pleasure of dining at Coral Bay Cafe, and I must say it was a great experience. The service was top-notch, with a friendly and attentive staff who went above and beyond to ensure our dining satisfaction. The calamari was simply fantastic. It was cooked to perfection, crispy and golden. The oysters were fresh and delicious too. All the special appetizers were great. Thank you for a wonderful dinner.
Hidden beach front restaurant in Staten Island, excellent authentic, italian cuisine . Food was delicious! Can't wait to come back in the warmer weather & dine during the day! Service was perfect. Dimly lit and love the atmosphere. Small dining area with a well stocked bar, drinks were big! Prices were all reasonable. Definitely coming back for lunch
Very nice little spot by the water. I sat at the bar with a friend and ordered two Margarita's, a watermelon and Mango one. Steve, the bartender made the two of them perfectly. We also had an order of fried calamari that were made to perfection! It was very busy inside and out. Our only complaint was the very small parking lot. Definitely recommend.
We had to sit outside because my cousin had the dog with them, but it was very good until the sun went down and the mosquitoes came out to feast on us. The food was very good and the server,Kimberly, was so nice. Appetizers were the usual fried calamari, baked clams and cheese stuffed zucchini flowers. All very tasty. Entrees of pasta with clams,shrimp and broccoli rabe, shrimp francese, clams over fusilli and my incredible pork chop parmigian that was the size of a tomahawk steak! We all enjoyed it and even took some home. Coral Bay Cafe was very good and I would return again, but definitely bring mosquito repellent if you're looking to dine " AL fresco"
My wife came to the restaurant for the first time. We are big seafood lovers. We ordered a cheese platter, clams on the half shell, seafood salad, and Scungilli over linguine in a red hot sauce. We shared everything. Everything was delicious. My wife felt that the clams were not fresh, but I disagreed with her. I thought the portion was a little small for the prices, but everything now a days cost a lot. The wine selection was adequate, per glass, and bottle prices were a little high. The menu was huge a lot of choices. The dessert was very good, and Cappachino was so-so. Was surprised to see they did NOT charge you extra for using a credit card. That surprised me. Because every other restaurant does. I would definitely come back and other seafood items. Service was perfect, location perfect. No wait.
My partner and I both ordered ravioli but they had just ran out of that so then we ordered something else. Had to wait atleast 45 mins for our food. Then when they finally brought out the food they brought me out someone else's plate the first. Our waitress was sweet. I think her name was Kimberly. When they brought the bill out they didn't bring out the correct one. Maybe it was a long day for the staff but I don't plan to come back here.
This place was SO good when I had Xmas dinner there in December. Yesterday.... it was DISGUSTING. I usually don't complain like this, but I went there for my birthday and it was absolutely dreadful. My brother ordered linguine with clams in RED sauce. They gave him white sauce. OK no problem they take it back and fix it. Literally 4 mins later they bring out a plate and the sauce is ORANGE. Not RED... O-R-A-N-G-E. It looked gross and my brother was gagging just looking at it. He couldn't even eat it. It's as if they just poured red sauce over what was already there. There's no way they fired up a new plate of pasta in Literally 4 mins. And for the prices they charge, that is pretty embarrassing. My mom's red sauce was also extremely hot and oily. Even my veal saltimbocca was not that good. Why they put a soft boiled egg on top is beyond me but it was just oily and not good. I was so disappointed. The only thing I enjoyed was my chocolate raspberry martini. There was also NOBODY in there and the service still sucked. It's safe to say I will never waste my money here again. :(
