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.

On 3/7/2026 Lori Spick had this to say:
Sal Vitales never disappoints! The pizza is amazing. Their homemade salad dressings are incredible, don’t skip the salad. What really made our visit special tonight was the kindness from one of the women on staff (I believe she’s one of the owners). My daughter was getting bored and squirrely, though I had brought activities for her. She noticed and brought over a ball of uncooked pizza dough for her to play with. My daughter had a blast with it. It was such a thoughtful, sweet gesture. Great food and kind people, we’ll keep coming back.
