    We have dined at this restaurant’s various locations in Delaware and Pennsylvania for more than thirty years. It has had its ups and downs. We like its current location on Kirkwood Highway in Delaware, which is conveniently located to Wilmington. The food is a relatively good value even if slightly more expensive than similar venues and the wine list is moderately priced. This has been consistent for many years. One thing that hasn’t been consistent, particularly post pandemic, is the service. Our server for the last visit seemed overwhelmed and unable to serve our wine or appetizers in a timely manner. Moreover, we ordered the Caesar salad, but the owner skipped the usual pizazz during the preparation. That was a disappointment since we brought a guest who was there for the first time. It was a Friday night and perhaps we were dining a bit late at 7:30, but the restaurant didn’t appear to be very busy. We will return and hope for better service.

    The food was delicious, including the house salad. Service was excellent, we had two servers assigned to our table of two. We had sporadic entertainment throughout the evening as the chef prepared Caesar salads table side for some of the diners, and were able to witness him preparing a table side flaming dessert. The service was not rushed, but timed perfectly between courses. The only downside was witnessing the chef call out a waitress for not being table side when she was supposed to be in front of all the patrons. Overall a great dining experience

    Did not care for having to place your entire order at the beginning. We enjoyed the Caesar salad...Lobster ravioli and cheese ravioli not as tasty as other Italian restaurants in the area. Overall, restaurant a little tried with stains on the menus.

    Straw & Hay pasta appetizer is our favorite! This time is was just as delicious, and the portion was huge- dinner size portion! Craving a steak - ordered the ribeye. (Rare) Very bland and overcooked to a medium. I’ll stick with Italian items when we come back. *and we will. The service is fantastic & desserts are delish!

    The appetizers were outstanding. I think it was the best crab cake I ever had. The Cesar salad was excellent. I did not like the whole tomatoes in the Pomodoro sauce. My husband did not care for the bolognese sauce. The service was excellent.

    Another successful birthday celebration at Vincente's. It's always good to go somewhere where you're recognize and treated like family ( in the good way lol) but the staff and owners treat everyone that way. I brought two friends who had never been. They enjoyed the tableside Caesar and the food and can't wait to come back. As always, great drinks, delicious food, friendly service and a good value for your money. Thanks, Vincente's family for helping me to celebrate with mine. Cheers!

    Always our go to place when travelling. Food and service both outstanding. The owner made a special accommodation for my wife, who is in wheelchair, by finding a quiet corner for us to sit at. My Veal Parm with long hots was cooked to perfection, and the Galiano cake for desert put the finishing touches on another great meal. My wife had Crab Cake, which was equally delicious. Kudos to Danny and his staff. See you next month.

    It was disappointing that bread and salad was not included with $38 and $28 meals. The portion sizes were small and the food was fine. The wine was not good and I believe it was an inexpensive house wine and not what I asked for. For my second glass I asked for a different wine and I believe the bartender served the same house wine. The server was very nice.

    We had a very nice meal, service was excellent staff very friendly and accommodating. Fun atmosphere you could get salads and desert made table side which was fun to see Daniel in action as he prepared everything and he told great stories! Love the old school vibe. I had cheese ravioli and my husband had chicken Marsala. Both were very good. We shared a crime brûlée which was excellent! Definitely worth a stop if your in the area.

    We took a couple with us who had never been there before. They were very impressed. The entrees ordered were Veal a la Roma, Pappardelle Pasta w/shrimp & scallops, Chicken Parm & Cheese Ravioli. All entrees were delicious & very tasty. Two of us ordered the Caesar Salad and enjoyed Dan’s presentation. The complimentary appetizer was a nice touch. Servers were friendly & attentive.

    Always a pleasure to dine @Vincentes! Cocktails are well made. The seafood cantalloni represented Italy to its finest. A sampling of 3 fantastic sauces over a nest of seafood. Don't forget the best Caesar salad around! Yummy. My friends enjoyed shrimp over angel hair pasta and clams over linguine in a pomodoro sauce... interestingly delicious. No room for dessert this time. But maybe on the next visit. Can't say enough about this place. A classic favorite.
