It’s a good day to be a pasta lover in West County. Vito’s in the Valley reopens today after winter storm damages Jan. 6 forced the restaurant to temporarily close. A burst water pipe filled the dining room with 2,000 gallons of water; just 16 days later, the restaurant is open for business.
Vito’s in the Valley opened in October 2013; the original Vito’s Sicilian Pizzeria & Ristorante has been open in Midtown nearly 20 years. Vito’s in the Valley owner Giovanni LaFata is delighted that the restaurant is up and running a few days ahead of the anticipated reopening this weekend. “I’m just so happy to be reopened so we can run a great restaurant in Chesterfield,” LaFata said. “I have a smile on my face right now.”
To celebrate the reopening, Vito’s in the Valley is offering 10 percent off bottles of wine and half-price appetizers tonight. If you can’t make it to Chesterfield Valley for today’s reopening, the food and drink specials will continue through weekend.
