We've been to Cafe Vincotto a few times in the past. While the food was as good as ever, the service last night was off.

Wonderful experience! Decorated for Valentine's Day with the friendliest staff and delicious food. Will be back!

Our experience at Cafe Vincotto was spectacular as usual. The food can't be beat and the atmosphere is always happy, fun, friendly...like going to visit a friend who just happens to be a an amazing chef.

The food was incredible - I got the spaghetti entree - black ink pasta, calamari, shrimp and andouille sausage -amazing! My wife and daughter loved their entrees as well (remoulade and filet mignon special). The desserts were huge and definitely best for two people. Service was friendly and efficient but never rushed and the overall atmosphere is very warm and cozy.
Bobby
A consistently wonderful experience—welcoming service, a great vibe, and food that's clearly made with care. Tony & Bona are the best
Nicole
Amazing dinner with my husband celebrating my birthday. This place keeps getting better and better. Had the angry veal parm special, just WOWW! I think that dish should be on the menu! Finished with the best dessert ever, Viral Dubai Cheesecake, so so good! Cant wait to be back. You guys rock!

After reading reviews, I wanted to like Vincotto, but I cannot recommend this place for dinner. The tables were so close together that there was less than 18" between tabletops, and the noise level was so loud that our experience was unpleasant and exhausting. The food was overall okay, but it missed on several fronts: the salmon was undercooked; sides were tasteless and lacked texture; the pappardelle was so-so and not especially flavorful. The only bright spot was an eggplant tower appetizer. The biggest attraction at the restaurant seemed to be the BYOB feature. Unfortunately, in order to be heard, diners needed to shout to be heard, and the unrelenting, deafening roar made it impossible to have a conversation at our table. Open Table may call the ambience "energetic," but the noise level was over the top, more like a rowdy bar, and it made our experience an ordeal.

Always a great experience dining at Cafe Vincotto! My husband loves their pork chop and I love the salmon.
This is our third time at this restaurant and not only was the food excellent but the staff and the owner made our dining experience one that we will want to repeat on a regular basis.

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 😊
