The food at Cafe Vincotto is absolutely delicious and beautifully prepared. Every dish is fresh, flavorful, and made with high-quality ingredients. You can really taste the care and attention in every bite.
From the savory options to the desserts, everything is perfectly balanced and full of authentic flavor. The portions are just right, the presentation is elegant, and nothing feels rushed or average. The staff makes you feel comfortable and well taken care of. Great experience all around.

I have walked into Cafe Vincoto many times, drawn not just by the aroma but by a feeling that settles in the room. The food here is truly amazing. My favorites are the burgers and the steak, but honestly, every dish I’ve tried has blown me away. Appetizers, main courses, and desserts—top notch from start to finish. But what makes this place stand out isn’t only the menu. It’s the ambiance, the warmth, and the hospitality crafted by Toni and Bona. They’ve built a space that feels both refined and inviting, where you can sense the care in every detail. The atmosphere isn’t just present; it’s infectious in the best possible way. I’ve had so many memorable moments here. Once, I came with client/friends who were so captivated by the warmth and the food that they scheduled their baby shower right there on-site. Another time, I was there with friends and before we left, she was talking about booking this place for her engagement party. And when a friend/cleint needed a place to get together for her husband, when she was doing renovations in the house they just bought, I suggested Caffe Vincoto, and Toni went out of his way to accommodate, turning a regular get-together into something special.Thank You so much Toni and Bona for taking great care of my friends and everyone who walks inside your beautiful place. You are the best! Caffe Vincoto in Berkeley Heights NJ is a great spot for a first date, a romantic evening, an engagement party, baby shower, birthady parties, class reunion, or a casual dinner with friends. If you’re planning a memorable night, I always tell my friends and clients to start here. Walk in, say hello to Toni and Bona from me. They’ll take excellent care of you, and who knows? It might just be the start of your next unforgettable moment. PS: Say hi to Tony & Bona from me and enjoy your evening 😊

Cafe Vincotto is a true “hidden gem”. The food is spectacular and the service is phenomenal. Tonight I had the spinach salad and the pork osso bucco. My wife had the beet salad and the pappadelle bolognese. All four dishes were wonderful. Very creative and extremely tasty. Kudos to the chef and his team. The atmosphere and ambiance are equally amazing, highlighted by a wonderful fireplace. But the most distinguishing quality of this establishment is the service. The owner and his wife go above and beyond to make guests feel welcome and appreciated. We dine out frequently and cannot think of another restaurant that compares to Cafe Vincotto in terms of warmth of service. We always feel incredibly welcome and appreciated. We have dined at Cafe Vincotto at least six times in the past 24 months - maybe more. The service and the food are consistently spectacular. BTW: (1) family members have also dined at Cafe Vincotto and share our accolades. (2) prices are extremely reasonable. It’s BYO but at $50 per person, before tip, we feel this is VERY reasonable given the overall quality of the dining experience.

Ordered takeout so can’t speak on the service and atmosphere but I’m sure they’re great. Got the burrata, chicken vincotto, and the cheesecake. All were amazing. Portion sizes were perfect and the food was excellent!

This was our 1st time at Cafe Vincotto and we were truly blown away!! The second we stepped inside it was decorated to the hilt w Christmas and New years decorations, done so tastefully and uniquely!! Bona one of the owners does all the decorating herself!!! The staff was so kind and friendly, you felt among friends immediately!! Lovely ambiance, the food was just perfection!! Not over seasoned or salty like so many other restaurants. Bona herself, and the wait staff checked on us with each course and right in the beginning to make sure we were happy with everything and to see if we needed anything else!! The owner Tony from across the Resturant heard a fork drop and came right over w a fresh one!!! I was blown away!!
The dessert menu is filled w cute and funny little quotes as is the rest room to!!! Adorable!! I literally love everything about this Resturant and I just know we will be regulars there now forever!!! I told Bona when she came to check on us for dessert that her Baklava was the best I ever had in my life!! And I worried she would think, your just saying that bc I am standing here, so I want it stated in this review it was the most delicious, moist, decadent Baklava I have ever had!!! Everything they make and serve is done with love and it truly shows!!!

I went with my wife last night and had a fantastic time. The restaurant looks smaller but inside it is a beautiful aesthetic and feels much bigger than it seems. Plenty of room where the tables are not on top of each other. The service is very attentive and warm, and the food came out quick while still being very hot and of course delicious. The bread is some of the best fresh bread I can remember having, the meatball starter was amazing, and my wife wants to learn how to make the sauce it was so good. The main was a great size and tasted phenomenal. We will be going back.

I had a really disappointing experience at Café Vincoto. Upon arrival, I was not welcomed at all. I was with my service animal, who had all the proper documentation and tags, yet the staff refused to let us in, stating they do not accommodate service animals. This is not only frustrating but also against the law. It was a very unfortunate situation, and I do not recommend this place if you rely on a service animal or have specific needs.

Our Go to Place. Everything is GREAT. You Feel like you are with Family
Warm, cozy, atmosphere. Wonderful, welcoming owners, Tony and Bona, who actually roll up their sleeves and get their hands dirty by working to provide the highest quality service to their guests. They genuinely enjoy your company and are always willing to engage in conversation to get to know you better and for you to get to know them better. Awesome menu, especially the new octopus carpaccio, which I hope they keep on the menu at least through the winter. Steaks are to die for. Decadent desserts, including homemade baklava is a must not to be missed. My wife and I regularly do that as a takeout so that we can enjoy it over the next couple of days at home. We have also taken it out to give to friends as a special treat. Be sure not to miss their special birthday surprise. Looking forward to my next meal there. Anthony
Cafe Vincotto is a true gem! Tony and Bona always welcome us like family, making every visit feel special. The food is absolutely delicious, the menu is creative and fun, and the value is unbeatable. It's one of those places you can't wait to return to again and again. Highly recommend!

Once again Cafe Vincotto did not disappoint! My husband and son shared the Tomahawk for two and it was amazing! It feels like a family meal every time we go- the host and hostess always treat us so kindly and the food is superb!

Visited Café Vincotto while traveling from Switzerland, and it exceeded even my very high expectations. The moment I walked in, I felt genuinely welcomed. The service was warm, attentive, and truly exceptional. Every dish was crafted with incredible care and quality — you can taste the freshness in every bite. It’s rare to find a place that delivers both heart and perfection, but Café Vincotto does exactly that. An unforgettable experience. I’ll be recommending this gem to everyone back home!

Another fabulous meal at Cafe Vincotto - we had the butternut squash soup which was so creamy and flavorful, the beet salad that was outstanding with the addition of citrus, the salmon was amazing with 2 different sauces to really enhance the flavor of the fish, the NY strip was cooked to perfection and as usual the short-ribs did not disappoint. Our meal was topped off with the pumpkin pie and gelato - the perfect finishings to an outstanding meal! Tony and his team are the absolute best!
