About the restaurant
From Naples to Santa Monica to Boise: the same passion for food.

A few words from the owner:

In 1969, I arrived in Los Angeles and I immediately noticed that the food served was much different tasting than the food that my family prepared in Italy. Upon questioning the restaurant owner regarding the non-traditional meals we were serving, I was told the food must be made according to American taste.

My commitment to you: I pledge to bring an authentic Italian dining experience, demonstrating the same passion I’ve had since the beginning.

Sincerely, Vincenzo

We had a delightful dinner at Vincenzo Trattoria. The food and the service were excellent and we enjoyed the homey and welcoming atmosphere. Plus great music and the bread is fabulous! This is now on our list of favorite restaurants and we look forward to our next meal there.

It was absolutely amazing! This is my new favorite restaurant in Boise. The food was great and so was the wine, It’s very elegantly decorated and the atmosphere is very relaxing. Not only did they take care of us but they took care of us well! Came in to celebrate my birthday and now will be bringing all of my friends and family. Bravo & thank you to all of the kind and friendly staff at Acero!!
