“ Amazing Italian food. Everything was terrific but the Sunday Gravy was outstanding. Without a doubt the best thing on the menu. The vibe was cool and our server was attentive and friendly ”
“ Wow! This was my first time visiting this amazing city and I was looking for a nearby Italian restaurant, with old city charm. I found that and more!! From the moment I turned down the cutest alley and then walked through the front door. I was greeted and welcomed by such an amazing staff of people. I was dining alone and sat at the bar and was regaled by the history of this restaurant by their unbelievable bartender Sean. He made me feel like I was dining with friends and all of the staff stopped over to chat. Now the food....SO tasty. I wish I had the time and appetite to try everything but I decided on the bruschetta and the pesto gnocchi and very much enjoyed both. I can't wait to come back and visit. Thank you for the hospitality and the delicious food! ”
“ My husband and I wanted a nice dining experience close to home and after googling places near us we decided on Vincent Chiccos and we are so happy we did! We arrived early for our reservation but were able to sit at the bar and enjoy some cocktails while we waited. The drinks were amazing and the bartender Jeffrey was knowledgeable and friendly. The atmosphere was great our entire visit. We were sat promptly and our server (Lizzie I believe) was beautiful inside and out. She knew about all of the food and the specials and was very attentive to our table. We had the meatball appetizer, and our entrees were the chicken piccata and seafood pasta. Everything was cooked perfectly and came out hot. We will be back and be sure to share our wonderful experience with friends and family! Highly recommend ”
“ Are you kidding me. How can this food be any better. This was some of the best meal of any type, bar none. The bruschetta was as fresh and flavorful as can be prepared. Rich balsamic and crisp toast. Loved it . I had the ravioli were I prefer meat, but this cheese pasta was eldente with fresh cheese that blended with the pasta texture. The meat sauce was out of this world. Lots of textures and flavors with color to please beyond words. This was better than my Nona Caterina’s. OMG. The Chicken parmigiana was generous and cooked to perfection. Great flavor and texture with a light and wonderful breading. We ate so much and was so overwhelmed we could not try dessert. A great reason to return. Incredible job team. ”
“ I have NO idea why this place is not a full 5 star! I don't leave many reviews, but will advise when things are in disarray. However, this is one the very best Italian restaurants I have been to. Granted, my husband and I have been to Italy a few times but this restaurant rivals the restaurants we have been to in Florence, Rome or Venice. We started with the lemon cello (Sorrento in Italy), then we grabbed the calamari as the appetizer. It was by far the best calamari we have ever had! Then, I had the gnocchi and my husband had the chicken scallopini. Both were amazing! Taylor was our server and helped make our recommendations. Amazing! She provided excellent service. It was my birthday today, and the restaurant provided me a birthday card. Everything was amazing! ”
“ Decided on this for my birthday dinner with friends. One of my friends easily made a reservation and the restaurant called an hour before to ensure we were still coming. The food is delicious! Legit Italian-American with high quality ingredients and attention to detail. The pepperonci sauce that comes with the calamari is heavenly and the Sunday gravy feels like you just walked into a family dinner. Everything was fantastic, but very filling so definitely come hungry - though they will package any leftovers up for you to take home. All four of us were very satisfied. ”
