Vittorio's was an Italian restaurant in the Pacific Palisades.

History

Vittorio's was established in 1984 by Mercedes Pellegrini and her husband who were encouraged by the success of their nearby Continental Delights bakery. ^{[1] [2] [3]} In December 2020, Vittorio's hosted a toy drive for 200 foster children. ^{[4] [5]} A year later, the COVID-19 pandemic forced the restaurant to close. ^[5] In 2024, Vittorio's celebrated its 40-year anniversary by hosting a throwback event in which the food was sold for the same price as that of its founding year.

The restaurant was destroyed in the Palisades Fire, ^[6] but its owners look intend to rebuild it in the aftermath. ^[7]
