Sal Vitale's Italian Restaurant And Pizzeria

"The Original Italian Restaurant in Muscatine Since 1984"

About Us

In Italy, the very best place to become acquainted with Italian cooking & wine is the “trattoria” The trattoria is a small, informal restaurant, often off the beaten path on a small back street, or in the intimate little squares of the working class quarter. At Sal Vitale’s, we try to capture the mood, flavors & taste of the famous Italian trattoria.

Sal Vitale’s, like the Italian trattoria, is much more than a commercial establishment. It is a way of life for people who really appreciate their food & have come to except great tasting pizza & pasta. We strive to provide the same variety & quality of food & beverage that make a journey to the kitchens & wine cellars of Italy so exciting.

The family came to America in 1983 from Palermo, Sicily, where the taste of pizza & pasta originated. “Although my family came to America to begin a new way of life, we still brought tradition & old ways with us, like our family recipes which have been passed from generation to generation.” Great Italian food can still be found in America at our trattoria, Sal Vitale’s.

Fantastic Dining Experience! We had a wonderful time at this restaurant. The food was absolutely delicious — full of flavor and beautifully presented. The service was outstanding; the staff were friendly, attentive, and made us feel very welcome. What made the experience even more special was that the owner personally greeted and took care of the guests, which really added a personal touch. We highly recommend this place to anyone looking for great food at a good price. A truly delightful spot for any occasion!

I used to live in Muscatine for about 3 years. 2021-2023. Never ended up making my way to Sal Vitale’s but driving my and seeing the building with its lights on, always seemed inviting. I’m back in Muscatine now 2 years later working for the weekend and my boss probably-only ever talks about eating here. As a first-timer, Sals DID NOT disappoint! We were sat right away even with a packed house. Food was hot, fresh. Bread was AMAZING and don’t get me started the flippin’ Calamari! The pure taste of the squid came through with a light coat of breading, nothing flakey or to crumby! The following night we went back but ordered to go. Got to meet Sal himself, what an honor. Great little 5 minute talk with himself and his cooks. Hope you remember me boss, guarantee we’ll be back soon. Thank you Sal Testimonial written by Christopher Salinas on this site.

If you want to have authentic Italian food with perfect quality, go here. I can not tell you how amazing the food is it's that great! Just go try it, trust me! The service is great. We literally didn't want for anything they were on it. The owner is a very nice and sincere family man. You can tell how much he loves his family and his restaurant. He is very caring and special. It was a pleasure to meet him and enjoy his restaurant. You just have to go here... and try it. We will definitely be back when we get the chance, and thanks so much for the awesome experience 🥰
