Vincenzo Cucina and Lounge

This is one of those odd reviews to write. For me the food saved it for the rest of my party it was mixed results. The real issue here was atmosphere and service. First the table was a pair of two person tables. One was significantly shorter than the other. Also the chairs were very grungy and worn. Not calling Vincenzo's fine dining, but the cost per dish means it is not a dive. The service was not great, food literally took way to long to get out of the kitchen and the server was not really attentive. He forgot about silverware too.

The food. I'll be honest the beef penne pasta was one of the best pastas I ever had. Everyone else mostly liked their dishes, but compared to NYC Italian (Which IMO is better than the food in Italy) cuisine it fell way short. But this is my review so I give them full marks.

If you are okay with wonky service and an okay atmosphere I believe this is place is really good. But I would have a hard time recommending it.

Everything was great! The only problem is now I’ll have to find a reason to come back… and drive all the way from Los Angeles. I think the photographer is to blame. 😄

I regret my visit got served warm water my food was cold seemed it was left sitting for a while by the looks of the cheese I saw my waiter go back and forth between his tables outside didn’t acknowledge us for 40 minutes we finished our meal continued to wait for a box and the bill but our waiter never came back had to ask a different waiter for the bill paid $125 for bland food and warm water definitely won’t be coming back
