As the saying goes, “good things come to those who wait” and Orange County has waited forever for an authentic Italian café just like you’d find in Italy. Vitaly opened at the Camp in May, thanks to its owners, husband and wife team, Maurizio and Barbara Cocchi of Bologna, Italy.
They recreated the first Italian Café in Orange County that specializes in street-food style piadina sandwiches. Vitaly also offers pasta made fresh daily, homemade Italian gelato, pastries, espressos and wine.
With a piadina you can choose between three flatbreads, classic (organic local white or wheat flour, Italian olive oil and fresh whole milk), white whole wheat or gluten free, and then build your own sandwich or go with a classic Romagna style, grilled and filled prosciutto, buffalo mozzarella, wild arugula or other organic and local vegetables and ingredients. The fresh pastas and sauces, such as Béchamel and Bolognese are amazing, as is the lasagna, and they even offer cheese and charcuterie plates.
You can’t leave without ordering gelato made fresh daily, we recommend the gelato flight, a sampler of five flavors served in mini ice cream cones. Choose from delicious flavors such as key lime pie, chai latte, ricotta pear, dairy free dark chocolate, honey lavender, or white chocolate Nutella and sorbets too like pineapple basil and strawberry. They even offer gelato sandwiches, burgers, delicious affogato and you can take pints of gelato to go. Gelato goes perfect with coffees, and you can choose from imported Italian or Kean coffee.
Open 7:30 a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday through Thursday; 7:30 a.m. to 9:30 p.m. Friday; 8 a.m. to 9:30 p.m. Saturday; 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. Sunday.
