Great Pasta! – We walked into Vincents and sat right down after walking past all the other little trendy italian eateries that had a line. This place was recommended to us by a local. Our server was old and a little slow but adorable. His support staff was excellent and right on top of everything. After trying to order ravioli and being told it wasn't "real" pasta, I went w/the server's suggestion of the rigatoni! It was awesome. You could taste the authenticity!
As authentic as it gets – Whether its your cup of tea or not, this IS what a typical Italian restaurant was back in the day. No gimmicks, no fancy decor, no guy standing outside with menus shouting at you to come in. Just a simple, family owned place that focuses on one thing and one thing only - great traditional italian food. If you want a trendy spot, dont go here. If you want white glove service, dont go here.
Vincent's-The Best!!!!!! – I came to New York way before 9/11 and I still recommend this place to anyone that visits New York. In fact, even though we live in Seattle, we still order their sauce every year for my aunt because it is the best Italian sauce in the nation!!!!
Disappointed – I was taken here by a local who swore by this place. I have to admit, it was the only place around that didn't require a reservation or had a huge wait. We came right in and sat down. As much I was excited about an authentic Italian restaurant, I was sadly disappointed. What kind of Italian restaurant doesn't have spaghetti on the menu??? The food was rather bland, nothing I couldn't make at home just as easily. They did not offer Bellinis (a traditional Italian cocktail!). Also the drinks and the portions wer... read more
I LOVE THIS PLACE – for new york city, the food and service here is a steal. the waitstaff is so nice and the food so authentic. try the sweet sauce!
Good food, great atmosphere – After waiting for nearly 30 minutes to be seated (there's always a line at Vincents) we were pleased by the prompt service. This is NOT Americanized Italian food, so don't go there expecting Olive Garden-like food. The sauces taste exactly like my Italian-born grandmother used to make, and the food really is quite good, and the prices reasonable. The only thing bad about the restaurant was the line for the bathrooms, so ladies - be prepared to wait for the single stall. The restaurant has been o... read more
Vincent's is awesome – Just for the sauce - a choice of sweet and sour, medium or hot, it is worth the trip from New Jersey. The staff is friendly and attentive. At Vincent's you can enjoy a wonderful Italian dinner, in a relaxed atmosphere at a reasonable cost! It's a must try - just once you'll definitely return.
The food is o.k. But, this place is really a tourist trap. Why go here and spend money when you could make a better meal at home for less. There are plenty of authentic italian restaurants which offer better food, ambience, and value in NYC. Vincent's is all about turnover, not about service or quality. Take my word for it, my third visit (tonight) will be my last.
Couldn't be worse – I brought my friend here for her birthday with 3 others, and guess what? It was so terrible that I felt compelled to write this review. Nobody at our table even ate more then one or two bites! I can't believe I was recommended this place. Please, if you read this, heed the warning, my niece could make better food than this. Its terrible. Plain and simple.
