- JJerryvipSouth Carolina •37 reviews5.0Dined on Nov 15, 2024Our table was ready when we arrived. Hostess very polite. Our server was attentive and friendly to us. We enjoyed a Chianti while munching on a delicious bread with housemade dipping olive oil and herbs. We could have made a meal of that! We enjoyed the well seasoned short ribs with roasted Brussel Sprouts, served on creamy mashed potatoes. If we had room, we would have had dessert. Choices were wonderful! This was our first dining experience at Vincent's, but definitely not the last!More infoVincent Chicco'sPrice: Moderate• Italian• Downtown Charleston•4.4
