Always a great experience there, now I learned to have my desert with my apps. Dinner portions are big and I always get full and don't have room for their great deserts 😋😋😋❤️

My food was meh, but the other 3 people in my party were satisfied. I felt bad for the server...only had one server working the majority of time we were there. She was running around, kept apologizing, but I think she did a good job considering the number of tables she was working by herself. Also, the restaurant is currently under renovations, which is why the low score for atmosphere.

This place was one of our favorites until the owner decided to do a major renovation. They charge $10 a plate sharing charge, soft drink prices are nuts. Absolutely not worth the price. Bad Value. I suspect he will be out of business in 18 months

My wife and I visited Vincenzo's on Friday. It was our first time there. I have to say everything was great I had the crab ravioli and my wife had the shrimp and scallop scampi both were great and flavorful. My waitress Scarlet was awesome, she was attentive and very nice. The entire staff was pleasant and helpful and smiled. The owner Angelica came to our table to check on us to make sure everything was good. Our drinks were delicious. Even with the minor construction nothing was out of sink. I will definitely be back.
