Might be my favorite Union County restaurant. Everything we order here is so good, but I always return to the pappardelle Bolognese and chicken Milanese (best I've ever had). Make sure to have the baklava sundae, you won't be disappointed. Very fairly priced and a BYOB, can't be beat!

My friend and I shared the artichoke appetizer and the Caesar salad. Then we both had the Dover Sole special. Everything was uniquely prepared. Always a great meal at Cafe Vincotto!!!

Excellent food and interesting choices. Folks are Albanian so it has Italian, Greek and middle eastern fare. Octopus and seafood spaghetti were excellent. Though limited the wine choices were very good. Deserts excellent - best baklava my very fussy wife has had in years.

The dining experience at Cafe Vincotto last evening was excellent. The restaurant was decorated with balloon hearts on the ceiling which was both clever and colorful. The owners are both so kind and sincerely happy to serve you. We had a delicious meal, both homemade pasta dishes, with fresh salads as starters. We were served hot food and in a timely manner, not rushed. Fresh gelato for dessert. We enjoy this restaurant and wish the owners much continued success.

The restaurant has a pleasant vibe. The beet salad and calamari were good. Rolls and seasoned olive oil was excellent. The chicken Milanese was also excellent. The salmon and parsnips were not good. The salmon tasted overly fishy, the mashed parsnips were watery. The bread pudding was very good.
Cafe VincottoResponded on February 14, 2025
Dear Tina, Thank you for dining with us and for sharing your feedback! We're glad you enjoyed the ambiance, as well as the beet salad, calamari, bread, and chicken Milanese. We're also very happy to hear you liked the bread pudding! Regarding the salmon and parsnips, this is the first time we've received a similar feedback as this dish one of the more popular ones, but we take all feedback seriously and have already addressed it with our team. We hope to welcome you back soon for an even better experience! Warmest, Vincotto
