Vito's was an Italian restaurant in Seattle's First Hill neighborhood, in the U.S. state of Washington.
History
Vito's opened in 1953. The restaurant has hosted an annual costume competition for Halloween, along with "sibling" establishment The Hideout. In 2021, Vito's suffered a catastrophic fire that caused it to close temporarily. On January 1, 2024, a second fire occurred in the building while Vito's was still in the process of resolving insurance claim issues. The building is slated for demolition, and Vito's has closed permanently.
