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.

    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

    The Fettuccine Alfredo is amazing! We also loved the squash salad for the starter. The service was fast and friendly. We will definitely be back

    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.

    Had a great experience! The food presentation was 10/10, pasta was not the best I’ve had but still very good! The service was good but the loud music made it difficult to hear at times. We very much appreciated the daily happy hour until 5:30pm!

    Service was middling at best, we seemed to be forgotten at our table and when they cleared our silverware after our appetizer they failed to bring a new set before our entree’s arrived and we needed to ask twice to get some and in the meantime our meals were ice cold by the time the silverware got to the table
