Every time we go to this restaurant, we feel like family. The menu is constantly evolving, and we are always pleasantly surprised by how wonderful everything tastes. So lucky to have this place just down the road!

Our second time dining here. This place is perfect for 'date night'. Food is exquisite, service is way above expectation. If you are looking for an unhurried great night out, I can't recommend Cafe Vincotto high enough.

Every aspect of this local restaurant is outstanding. Start with the fact that there is adequate parking, both in their lot and on the street. Our reservation was honored in a timely fashion, and the seating was comfortable. The service is crisp, but not overwhelming. Even though this is still a BYO establishment, they now have a small wine list, and they do not charge a corkage fee if you bring your own bottle. Most importantly, the food is outstanding. We highly recommend this...
