Polished marble rest atop the overstretched bar which boasts eighteen draft beers and the state’s first ever “tapped wine” system. A seemingly humble menu is carefully considered with homemade pastas, coal-fired pizzas, and daily “features” that will bring a smile to the most discerning grandmother’s face.**A NOTE FROM THE RESTAURANT**Reservations are not required.

Midweek dinner to beat the heat and still have great Italian food. Started with their Caesar salad, which is legendary for its table side preparation highlighted by tossing a cheese ball into the bowl to complete the preparation. The result is a crisp, fresh, perfectly prepared Caesar salad with dressing that is perfectly balanced. For entrees we had Spaghetti Pomodoro, and Chicken Marsala with a side of Pasta Vincente (linguini with mushrooms and peas in an Alfredo sauce). Both entrees had fantastic flavor and the sauces were definitely scratch made. The spaghetti was slightly overcooked and the pomodoro sauce was watery, but the flavor was delicious. Save room for the Bananas Foster dessert. It’s also prepared table side with Vincente’s own unique twists on the recipe, and it is scrumptious! Our servers were outstanding and very friendly and professional. They made our meal an exceptional experience. We waited far too long between visits at this gem of a restaurant. We will be back a lot sooner!
