Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews

Vincenzo Cucina & Lounge offers a diverse Italian dining experience with standout "cheese wheel pasta" and a vibrant atmosphere. While some patrons rave about the "amazing service" and "delicious food," others note inconsistency in service and temperature of dishes. Ideal for a lively night out, especially during Happy Hour.

The food was just ok. I ordered the pasta special of the day, which was served in a cheese wheel. The presentation was the best part of the meal. Pasta was meh. I swear the sausage was leftover breakfast sausage from that morning’s breakfast service. My friend ordered pasta from the cheese wheel bar which she thought meant it would be prepared and served tableside, in a cheese wheel, like mine. Nope. It was just regular Fettuccine Alfredo, nothing special. However, our service was really excellent and our server recommended a fabulous bottle of wine. The ambiance was very nice, we chose to sit outside and enjoy the holiday decorations. Bottom line - food was just ok and over priced for the quality received, but great wine and service.

It was an excellent meal and service. A great time, we happened to be there on the night of the Christmas tree lighting in Little Italy and Vincenzo is right in the heart of all the active. We had a blast. We look forward to going back again

Amazing food and dinner for husbands birthday. Our server was amazing and very personable, however he never returned to deliver the check or process payment. We asked several times and finally a different gentleman came out however they gave us a complimentary slice of amazing lemon cake or I’m not sure the exact name and our bill was reduced by 20% which we weren’t expecting. The food was outstanding. We had the pork belly which we were told is new, pizza, carbonara, gnocchi, bruschetta, tartar then of course the lemon cake. It was truly delicious and we can’t wait to come back. Thank you for a lovely evening.
