ABOUT Domenico Selections: Terence Hughes is a Partner of Domenico Selections. He was driven to start the company by two life-long obsessions, Italy and wine. For over 20 years he was in the advertising business, which taught him value of positioning, targeting and market segmentation. This experience guided him in creating his Italian wine blog, mondosapore.com, in 2005. And the rest, as they say, is history.

Today Strappo, as his Italian friends call him, is happy to bet the farm on the proposition that Italy's wines represent an excellent combination of quality, character and value. Currently he's in love with Campania, but he may fall hard for Basilicata next, or Marche, or Liguria. Strappo's always hot to find the greatest newest thing. Strappo Polo, you might call him.

ABOUT: Vito’s Café is the special destination for many types of occasions: birthdays, anniversaries, business meetings, Christmas parties, rehearsal dinners, weddings…and your special evening out on the town. Our food is the perfect blend of Italian classics from the many regions that define the great country of Italy. Some dishes hail from Tuscany, others have origins in Bologna, and for the big zesty flavors our chef pays homage to the island of Sicily.

More than the food defines the ambiance at Vito’s Café, as many of our servers are trained singers who hail from the Cincinnati College Conservatory of Music and Northern Kentucky University. It would be an understatement to say that the singing servers add a touch of class: throughout the course of the meal, the singers rise to the occasion belting out Broadway show tunes, opera ballads and jazz standards.
