Vieste Simply Italian - Newport

Ate there with friends we shared appetizers like, Mussels, Octopus, Cobb Salad and My girlfriend had the Salmon I had the Sword Fish. Food was prefect seasoned, well, it was at their new venture Hooked Ya gotta do this place.

1 meal was excellent.(penne bologna, 1 was ok spaghetti, 1 (shrimp salad was ok..did not tell you on the menu it included beets.The server shrugged it off when displeasure was communicated. 2nd time eating here and it was OK. Won't be

We came to this restaurant on our last night, and we had the best food most amazing service ,our server whose name was Thalia went over and beyond to make our experience magicalIt was everything we wanted and more I wish I can give it more than five stars it’s a must to go.

I accidentally stumbled upon Vieste, by far and away blew away my expectations. I had a phenomenal tuna dish that was executed perfectly left me stunned. I introduced myself to the owner and chef and was blown away by how humble talented and hard working they are!!! They ABSOLUTELY care about their customers experience and I will with out a doubt be returning for years to come!!! Please give it a try! Foodies like me need to know about the gems off the beaten path!!!

We had a reservation that we booked several weeks in advance and came here after a day at Jazz fest. Our table was not ready upon arrival and we waited 40 minutes for it to be vacant for us, no comps for drinks or appetizers for this inconvenience. The kitchen was clearly struggling and our dinner turned into 3 hours. The food was bland, not a lot of flavor. The managers never came over to check-in or to apologize, the server was trying his best but several times our waters were completely empty. The only major plus was the band playing, ukulele and standing base, they were crazy talented. Other than them, really disappointed.
