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

History

[edit]

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]
