If you’re looking for an amazing spot to grab some Italian food, make sure you check out this establishment. I’m usually a picky eater but EVERYTHING was amazing. From the drinks, the food, and the service, I will definitely be back. My favorite thing was the table side salads. Thank you so much!

I tried to introduce two people to this restaurant on Friday. I have big regrets. Generally this place rocks. But I completely wasted my money on this instance. We got the flamed steaks excited to see a little table side service and enjoy one of the most expensive menu items. They did the flamed steak at the complete wrong table, we didn’t even get to see it, and were really looking forward to it. Now for the worst part it was the worst steak anyone at the table had ever tasted. The amount of pepper on this made it nearly inedible. Our mouths were on fire because of how much pepper there was lol. We ate somewhere else afterwards because we were so dissapointed for our friends birthday. I want to give this place another try but now I’m scared. Too much $ to get a poor experience and steakUpdate: All three people at the table tried the steak and found it inedible. I’ve had a ton of different kinds of steaks including peppered steaks before and none were this bad. Sure it was indeed tender. But I think everyone at the table not enjoying says all that needs to be said. Again I want to stress that I actually like this place, so to have one bad experience sucked but hey the next one could be better.

I had the veal piccata casino, and my friend had white sauce clam linguini. We both enjoyed our food. The caesar salad was also delicious.

The good: The food was delicious. The Caesar salad was excellent. On the weekend the brother that doesn't own the restaurant makes the Caesar salad now. He told us about how he learned to make it from his father. I really enjoyed hearing the story and watching him make it up close. It made up for the slow service. The bad: The service was extremely slow. It took 30+ minutes to get our drinks ordered and served and our orders taken. They did bring out the complimentary appetizer before that but it would have been great to have at least my drink order filled. This was a birthday celebration that I did notate on the reservation. Had 2 of my friends not been there with us we probably would have left because sitting for 30 mins with no acknowledgment is really pretty unacceptable. I understand being busy and short staffed but I did very politely mention to the hostess prior to that no one had waited on us. She came over and said oh you have the complimentary appetizer and said they are very busy. She should have at least taken our drink orders. Also my partner ordered the surf and turf. Online it says filet and lobster. He got filet and crab cake. He did not say anything because we had waited so long to get orders placed and to get the food. The steak was cooked exactly as he asked but a crab cake is not the same as lobster. And had he known this he wouldn't have ordered the crab cake appetizer. The waitress was also very nervous acting. She was super nice and sort of attentive just nervous and slow. We gave her a 22% tip but she would have gotten 30% had she done a better job. Overall it was a nice evening but with annoyances that I hope the restaurant sees and understands isn't acceptable especially when a reservation is notated as a birthday celebration. I will be back but not for any type of celebration with friends.

The food was very good but service was very slow. We had reservations at 6. We're seated at a small table (I know, I should have spoken up). We ordered a glass of wine, Caesar salads and our entrees. 20 minutes later I got my wine and it was an hour before table side salad was made. It was good though. Then another 45 minutes until entree. Would have considered dessert but it probably would have been another hour!!

Probably one of the best Italian restaurants I've ever been to haven't had anything in there that I really didn't like yet if you go there it's a must that you order the Caesar salad they make it right at your table it's a heck of an experience I'm not going to give it away the bartender is on point as soon as you get somewhere near the bottom of your drink he's already there to see if you need a new one it's a must go to place

Finally was able to get back out to Vincente's for a sorely needed date night with the spouse. Was once again treated to a wonderful dining experience with the table side Caesar salad and Bananas Foster. 9 oz. Filet with Scallops and Shrimp was outstanding... Was pleasantly surprised to see the third Mancari brother in the restaurant who handled the tableside preparation and entertainment. Had not seen him since the family's restaurant was on 4th street in Wilmington. The "Three Stooges" back together was inspiring. The patriarch and matriarch are both looking down on them as they continue to carry on the rich Vincente's traditions.

Crab cakes were very disappointing; all you tasted was Old Bay and very few lumps of crap, mostly filler creating a mushy texture. I literally broke out in a sweat after one bite, could not eat. Luckily I had a side of pasta and I split my Husbands dinner. I have been going here since Lincoln Street. I do not think We will be returning.

Absolutely the best way to enjoy an evening, a wonderful, delicious, dinner with family, surrounded by a great family run restaurant. All 4 different diners, appetizers, and WOW, that Ceaser Salad. YOU, WILL, NOT, find a better place in the area to have dinner.!

Normally the service is outstanding however, this time is was just good. I do know that they were shorthanded. We asked for refills on two sodas and each time it took over 10 minutes to get them. My friend normally doesn't drink the water but was having to since it took so long to get the sodas.
