This elegant Yorkville original is home to true Italian cuisine made from the fresh ingredients. Executive Chef Felice Vacca liberally applies the lessons he learned in his upbringing on his grandparents' farm in Rome in this handsome restaurant, where the component parts of every tasty dish are purchased daily. Nothing is precooked at this neighbourhood darling, and all of the menu's options can be prepared according to personal preference. Whether in the warm, romance-inspiring dining room or on the pretty outdoor patio, service here is uniformly excellent. Vaticano also showcases a separate section with a full bar that seats up to 15 ppl featuring quality espresso, wines by the glass, beer on tap and four flat screen televisons to enjoy sporting events such as daily hockey or soccer games. Look for the charming photos of Felice and visiting celebrities that line the wall.more...See more text

Not a bad experience at all, decent food, good service. My main knock on the place is that in the summer you can not enjoy the sun at Yorkvile as Vaticano has no patio and it is some steps down the street level.
went there for the first time last week with a group of friends. Beautiful atmosphere and lovely italian music in the background. THe food is very delicious and nice and fresh. we visit again
