    We've dined at Vittae many times and it never disappoints. The food is always great and, in my opinion, the best restaurant on the Malecon with a great ocean view and people watching. Everything on the menu is wonderful, but the fish is especially good and always very fresh.

    My advice to this restaurant is hire a hostess/ maitre d to manage the reservation book. Service was poor and chaotic. Smiles from only one of the waiters who was doing his best to make best of the situation. We love Vitea and Trio restaurants. We didn't enjoy seeing it this way this time!

    We’ve enjoyed Vitae for more than 20 years on our trips to PV. We chose it for our first dinner here and we were very disappointed. Service was very slow and inhospitable (downright grouchy). The salad was delicious. Fish was okay. Pasta was almost inedible. They comped the pasta, but overall it was a very mediocre experience. With so many good restaurants in PV, we won’t go back.

    One of the best meals I have had in PVR. Excellent food, service and presentation. I pasted this many times thinking it was just another tourist trap but I would hold the quality to any restaurant in New York City. Also a good value I will be back!

    The Filet Mignon is melt in your mouth tender & all four of ours were cooked perfectly as ordered. The peppercorn sauce is delicious. Service was fine. Our third time there and we’ll be back!
