Vittorio doesn't improve because no local publications will ever say anything negative about it. Nothing is or will ever be spectacular, and some of the dishes are downright lackluster. Los Angeles is crowded with superb (and reasonable - Modo Mio in the Palisades, Locanda Portofino in Santa Monica to name two) Italian restaurants who serve more inventive, delicate, and healthy food than Vittorio for the same price. V needs to learn how to strain their pasta, to lay off the salt, to put higher quality parmesan on the tables and to make thicker sauces. It's no better than a quick marsala or pasta at home. They won't serve you at the table! You'd have to order two $16.50's to make it a family-size meal. Wealthy people may not all have taste but get things right before ripping off the local community.
