We were seated in the bar area instead of the dining area...music very loud...took us 20 minutes to get a drink...bread was cold...3 of us got our dinner —our 4th had to wait 5-7 minutes for hers. Food was lukewarm and just ok. Definitely would not recommend...maybe a better experience if you get to eat in the dining room.

The food was vert bland, shoe place is overhyped. We got oysters, Caesar salad, and 2 pastas.. the oysters were the best thing. We waiting a loooong time to be served despite having a reservation. Our oysters came before our drinks (my wine was warm but didn't want to send it back and wait longer). Overall pretty disappointed and wouldn't recommend to anyone. Mediocre at best.

Server was very friendly but seemed like he needed more training and was overwhelmed...it was a Friday night. Salad came out with entrees. Some pasta dishes were cool and some were hot. Drinks were really good.

I found this place to be incredibly overrated. The service was terrible. Our waiter, Armando, was hardly ever around, despite it being 4 PM and not busy. We came specifically to see the cheese wheel while our food was being prepared, and after asking him three times to let us know, he completely forgot. We had to repeatedly ask for drink refills, for our table to be cleared, and even for bread—what kind of Italian restaurant makes you ask for bread? We waited over an hour for our food, and when it finally arrived, two Fettuccini Alfredo dishes were cold. The chicken was chewy and tasted like airline food, and the noodles were cold too! We sent it back, only to receive a microwaved version drenched in sauce to cover up the poor quality. We ended up bringing it home for the dogs. To make matters worse, the manager, Rumaldo, never came over to address our concerns. Only the woman who took over for Armando apologized, offered a discount, and gave us two desserts, which were both tasteless. The tiramisu resembled cinnamon cake, and we had no idea what the other dessert was supposed to be. I chose your restaurant to celebrate my 50th birthday, and it was disappointing that they didn't acknowledge it at all—instead, they ruined it. I would have preferred to stay home for an authentic Italian meal cooked by my mom. A note to the owner: consider holding a customer service training session for your staff. Armando's stained apron and slurred speech gave a poor impression. When something is clearly wrong, a manager should step in. We weren't the only dissatisfied customers; the table behind us missed happy hour prices because they waited so long without recognition. Please do better—and for the love of food, improve your bread; it's tasteless!

Great food and beautiful atmosphere! ! We were sad that the don't anything for celebrations or birthdays! It's strange because they ask you if you are celebrating anything when you make your reservation online but don't do anything for celebrations!

I recently dined at Vincenzo with a group of eight, and overall, it was a pleasant experience marked by standout service and some delicious food, though there were a few bumps along the way. First, let's talk about the service. Our server was attentive and friendly, making sure we had everything we needed throughout the evening. It's clear that the staff at Vincenzo genuinely care about their guests, which added a welcoming touch to our meal. As for the food, while there were definitely highlights, not all dishes lived up to expectations. The pistachio burrata pizza, for example, sounded promising but fell short. It didn't come with a full serving of burrata, and the pistachio flavor was subtle to the point of being almost undetectable. On the other hand, several other dishes we tried were quite good, showcasing the restaurant's potential. The drink menu also had its strengths, with a solid selection of cocktails. However, I found the mocktails to be a bit pricey relative to their presentation and flavor. If you're looking to indulge in a non-alcoholic option, you might want to manage your expectations. One logistical hiccup worth mentioning was the splitting of the bill. With eight of us dining, it was surprising to learn that the restaurant could only accommodate splitting the bill into three separate checks. This created a bit of confusion and frustration, and I'm unsure whether it's a common issue in San Diego or a specific policy at Vincenzo. In summary, Vincenzo has a lot to offer in terms of atmosphere and service, and while some dishes shine, others may leave you wanting. If you're in the area, it's worth a visit, but maybe keep an eye on the menu before diving in!

Service was absolutely horrible server made no eye contact answered no questions never came over when food arrived had to get up for cheese and pepper. Never offered another round of drinks. So was looking forward to dinning there but most likely will not return.

Reservation did nothing. Still waited 30 mins to be seated. There was pasta all over the floor. Food took over an hour to get to us. The pappardelle was overcooked and the chicken on the pasta was overly dry. Server never came back to our table. Pizza was also soggy. Would never go back again.

Service: The prices are on the high end, and for this level of cost and location, the level of service is greatly lacking. We were seated in a largely empty secondary dining room on a busy Sunday. The outside tables were full, as were the inside section as you walk in the restaurant. We were seated in a booth. The floor of the booth was filthy. Napkins from prior guests, empty packages from sweeteners and such. The floor was sticky. Our waitress was charming and helpful. There were no visible bus boys, and it was up to the waitress to clear tables. A table in front of us was left with used plates from what appeared to be disgruntled patrons who left in a hurry without eating or even touching a fresh cocktail. That food remained during our entire meal. It became the location for waiters to dump dirty plates. Not exactly the view one would expect from a high end restaurant. The waitress, and not the support staff (as there was none) refilled our water glasses. An appetizer arrived without plates to share. We asked a waiter for plates, and he acknowledged us and disappeared. The waitress finally brought some plates albeit the appetizer was now cooled. The main dishes arrived in 3 deliveries for our party of six. When we finished the plates were left on the table until we left. Since we weren't leaving right away, we stacked them in a corner, but there was no one to bus the table. Since we had a birthday, a complimentary slice of cake was brought over by the waitress. When we got up to leave several bus boys arrived to clean the table, but no effort was made to look UNDER the table. (We watched.) For the price point I certainly expected better. The management would be wise to visit Romesco's in Bonita to see what high level service is like. This was not it. Food: Food was good. We all ordered from the cheese wheel selection. The portions were smaller than expected, however it was very rich and therefore more would have likely been excessive.

I was super excited to go to this restaurant as I read nothing but decent reviews on their dining experiences. The host sat us in the back near a ramp area there was a lot of trash on the floor that looked like they just brushed off the tables and didn't sweep. Before we got our food there was a mop bucket and mop and just behind us the entire time that smelt great but extremely overwhelming and not wanting to smell cleaning chemicals the entire time during our dining experience. The experience was more of a “hurry up eat and get out”.

I was so disappointed with this resto. The place was so noisy, the server was overworked. The food was overrated. This was an instagram recommendation and from now on i will be hesitant to believe social media.one of the worst experiences of my gastronomic life.

The food was delicious but the service was absolutely terrible. There were empty tables all around us but we NEVER got checked on by our waiter. We had to flag him down and ask other people working there to tell him we wanted to order and then again that we wanted a second drink. We sat at the table with empty drinks for over 10 minutes. When he did come over he acted like we were bothering him and was not pleasant at all. Would not go back there's so many good restaurant's in Littel Italy with way better service!

I came to celebrate my birthday with my friends we all have a nice time. The food was wonderful and the service since we came was excellent no complaints. The place is beautiful I really recommend this place for any occasion.
