Vincent's Italian CuisinePerfecto.Let me start by saying that my wife is half Italian and she had been wanting to take me to Vincent's since we moved back to New Orleans. I took her for her birthday, and the food was amazing.
The fried calamari appetizer was good, but not spectacular. The main courses were outrageously tasty. She had the Chicken Marsala and I had Seafood Medallions--eggplant discs layered with lump crab meat and drenched in a cream sauce with crawfish and shrimp.
Her Marsala was incredible. My medallions were one of the best dishes I've eaten all year.
Highly recommended. We will be back.5/18/2013 12:00:00 AMWonderful Mother's Day LunchWe were greeted by Tony and made to feel welcome. There was a slight wait but enjoyed visiting with the "bartender" and having a great drink. The food was truly "Italian" and delicious! A great way to spend Mother's Day.5/12/2013 12:00:00 AMAlways awesomeMy husband and I have eaten here numerous times and have always been well satisfied!! My husband loves the double stuffed pork chop and I like trying new options...never disappointed.5/11/2013 12:00:00 AMComfort dining at its bestNawlins has plenty of the finest restaurants in this country, if not the world. I've been to many of them but this is the one that I consistently bookend my visits there with. This is Italian comfort food at its best just as grandma used to make. At least that is the feeling I get every time I'm a guest of Vincent. The staff is loaded with knowledgeable and friendly people who work hard to make one feel very welcome. Honestly, I wish my grandma made food that consistently tasted as good as the crab and corn bisque or the cannelloni (a word I couldn't even spell before I came here). Located in beautiful "uptown", meals are very affordable which makes this one of the best values in an expensive town.5/5/2013 12:00:00 AMContinuing to pleaseThis restaurant has beeb a favorite of mine for nearly two decades. New Orleans has so much to offer with regard to cuisine, and tourist have many options. VIncent's is for the local who wants the best! Traditional, but innovative. For the true Italian, it's home. For those who love to be Italian, it's a must. For those who want romance, it's here! Artichoke, Eggplant, Sauces, soups, and service--it's all "A" plus.5/4/2013 12:00:00 AMWonderful time, food and service!With thirteen for dinner and all loved everything they ordered that's hard to beat! We had such a great time! The restaurant was so accomodating during Jazz festival. I must have called 5 times to keep adding people to our reservation. The staff was great and we really enjoyed ourselves. A little gem on St. Charles Ave.5/3/2013 12:00:00 AMExcellent ItalianGreat Italian food and excellent service. It is a bit cramped but the wide selection and quality of the food and great service more than make up for it.5/2/2013 12:00:00 AMAlways a good mealVincent's is ways consistent and always delishous.5/2/2013 12:00:00 AMOur dining experience wasOur dining experience was wonderful. Wish we had a Vincent's in os Angeles. Our waiter was great. Thank you so much.4/30/2013 12:00:00 AMAlways a must stopWhenever I am in New Orleans, I consider Vincent's a "must stop." It never disappoints. Our waiter that night was having an off night because he forgot several items (wines, desserts, etc.). But the manager was attentive and picked up the slack and the food was excellent. Their lasagna is simply exquisite and the bruschetta is lovely.4/30/2013 12:00:00 AMFor Locals and TouristsBrought out of town guests and they loved it! They had already experienced the French Quarter and "Cajun cuisine", and when I sent them the link to Vincent's menu, the response was "Perfect!". And it was a fantastic meal and dessert. Coincidentally, my friend's new wife is Italian, born in Italy, and she had only compliments and completely cleared her dinner and dessert plates. Very "old school" atmosphere with both families, hip singles, and professional patrons. Absolutely love the atmosphere and cuisine! And of course there is that beautiful drive up St. Charles to the restaurant and down St. Charles after a wonderful meal.4/24/2013 12:00:00 AMAmazing...not much else canAmazing...not much else can be said.

Our meal was Included a salad and soup since we ordered an entree. I'm glad we didn't order an appetizer since we had so much food. The soup and salad were good. The entrees were very good. I had the cannelloni. I would order it again. Others had lasagna, Italian sausage with pasta, and also an eggplant sandwich. We also had the tiramisu which was delicious. By the time we left, about 8:20pm, the place was packed and people were waiting to be seated. This is a neighborhood gem.4/16/2013 12:00:00 AMBest Italian food we haveBest Italian food we have had, and we are not youngsters.

From the moment you walk in and are greeted by the owners to the time they hail you a cab late at night it's a first class experience! As for the food, all of it is amazing. We have never had anything that was below fantastic. After dinner I recomend the pink mint ice cream as well as the strawberrychelli!
This place will not disappoint!4/13/2013 12:00:00 AMGreat Dining wonderful atmosphereAfter all these years continues to be one of my favorite places to eat at.4/9/2013 12:00:00 AMI can't not say enough goodI can't not say enough good things about Vincent's.

Crab and corn bisque in a bread bowl still the best around.Veal Roberto wonderful, and sides of alfredo and broccoli enough for a change of pace without detracting from the main event. Outstanding crab cakes. It is always better in the small back room also. Cannoli also very good.4/5/2013 12:00:00 AMWe love Vincents.....veryWe love Vincents.....very limited seating so reservations are a must!

The restaurant was packed so everyone was very busy. The crowd was handled very well. My only complaint is that it took a while to get a cocktail. We will return to Vincent's when in New Orleans.3/9/2013 12:00:00 AMBest Italian food I have had!Best Italian food I have had! All the dishes we had were excellent and prepared amazingly.

You cannot go wrong with anything on the special menu. Parking is a nightmare just like all the local neighborhood gems of New Orleans. Well worth the trouble if you want some great food2/9/2013 12:00:00 AMVincent's: Nola's Italian gem!This is a great gem! Off the beaten path in New Orleans, about a $13 cab ride from French Quarter. The crab/corn chowder is seriously amazing-don't skip it! My husband ordered the canneloni; he was impressed and really enjoyed it. I had the veal in portabella sauce-it was outstanding. The portions are good size. The bread isn't very good (sesame), that was our only complaint. We love cajun/creole but were looking for a break during our Nola visit. If we're ever back, we will definitely visit Vincent's!1/1/0001 4:00:00 PMDont pass this up, EVERAn amazing dining experience, top notch. Staff as well as the owner are incredidle. THe food is undescribable. My husband said he has not had such a wonderful piece of meat in over 30 years ! Ceasar dressing is made from scratch and is unlike any other, a must try. Also, i have never had such a wonderful alfredo sauce. THe hand prepared pasta is next to none. It was so incredible, we were all switching plates around. fabulous wine list w/ just exactly what you need with each course. True italian fine dining ! I went twice in a week. Dont forget to leave room for desert. It was untouchable too1/1/0001 4:00:00 PM
