Vincenti Ristorante

lovely service and wonderful food. The staff were clearly on top of many details. It was fun to observe their synchronization.

What a gem of a place! From the warm reception to the excellent food and service, beautiful rooms and a blissful ability to hear each other's conversation...we were so delighted with the evening. Thank you!

The best Italian food in LA. Paired with wonderfully caring service and a elegant atmosphere, you just have to bring some friends to make it the perfect dinner.

We have been eating at Vincenti for the past 15 years on a regular basis and it has always been amazing.

Vincenti’s is one if our favorite dining places in the city.
Maureen, the owner, makes every effort to take very good care of her patrons, & the food is consistently excellent. I highly recommend the food, service, staff
& overall ambience. In a city where restaurants come & go, Vincenti’s has a steady stream of loyal patrons because we appreciate it.

I recently dined at Vincenti after wanting to try it for years! The owner graciously welcomed me as I walked in which I always love to see, an involved owner that is present and available and proud of their restaurant! My guest & I were shown to our table through the well lit, dim, but not too dim, dining room which was open yet cozy and our waitress was extremely friendly & knowledgeable which is a lost art in this town of out of work actors and actresses! The food arrived in a timely fashion and was extraordinary and I AM A FOODIE, the red & yellow beets with burrata was exceptional BUT the gnocchi with black truffles was out of this world! I decided on the panna cotta for dessert and I'm so pleased I did! Vincenti has absolutely won me over a regular, FRESH pasta, a REAL Italian restaurant in Brentwood, I can't wait to bring my wife who is Italian from Rhode Island, she is going to LOVE it here as I did, I'll be a regular!

Food is good but nothing special outside of what you can get at Angelini or Madeo or Bestia.
Service needs major improvement..I don’t need water every five minutes...it’s over priced for what you get compare to other places with the same standards.

Excellent food and service. Somewhat pricey, and a little too noisy - not quiet.

Fantastic from beginning to end! The minute you walk in the door- the happy greeting from the host to the impeccable service and the lovely and gracious owner- Maureen the evening was perfect from beginning to end!

I brought my son who is a chef- so I knew he wasn’t going to be easy to impress! He loved the food and the entire experience! We will be back again and again!

Great restaurant, very good food. Used a travelzoo voucher, and I thought the portions were a little small for the main meals. Overall, good service and really good food.

Lovely people. Lovely food. Lovely place. I am going to visit again and again!

Every dish was delicious, the wine was excellent, and our waitress was friendly, attentive, and made some great suggestions. Surprised it took me so long to finally try this place out...I plan to come back again soon.

There is no finer Northern Italian restaurant than Vencenti. The lobster salad appetizer is large, with generous portion of fresh lobster meat in a salad that is perfectly dressed. The pasta is very creative, and the fish is impeccably served. The wood-oven roasted fish is always cooked to perfection. The service is great, made special by the warm welcome from the owner Maureen.

great wine prices and policy - at least as compared to similarly situated LA restaurants. reliable kitchen.

Great time at Vincenti w their Travelzoo promotion
Outstanding food and service plus the ambience is relaxing
Would definitely go again

This is one of the best Italian restaurants in town. I almost hate to write a glowing review so fear the lunch crowd picks up and I can't get in! Maureen greets all guests like long time friends and the staff is friendly and attentive but understands when you need privacy. The food...I have yet to have eat something I would not order again (and again and again!) Whether I sit down for a quick bowl of soup at the bar or indulge in one of the daily pasta specials, I am guaranteed a satisfying meal and in a pleasant environment. Definitely one of Brentwood's gems!

Server tried to run up the bill. Added service charge for 4 people without telling us.

Food and service were very good. I ordered their roasted branzino- the best I've had anywhere. It's a good thing I mentioned that we came back specifically for their branzino because the waiter said they'd changed their recipe but would make sure mine was
prepared the way they used to cook it - simple, crisp, without a sauce. And voila, it was divine. Perfect crisp skin, with just a hint of salt, a squeeze of lemon - mwah!! Perfection. My husband ordered the pork chop and he said it was delicious! They ARE expensive. My fish was $46. Desserts are $12. But everything was delicious. They seated us in their "back" room, which is quieter. Not as much of a scene, but we were there for the food and this way we could enjoy each other's company. Their main room is pretty loud. Yes, we will be back!!

Been dining here, taking clients here, meeting friends and family here and it is never a let down and always the ultimate dining adventure. I travel almost an hour to come dine here and worth the drive and putting up with traffic. Love, Love, Love Vincenti Bravissimo

Really wonderful Italian food! The grilled octopus is my favorite and the lasagne is incredible. My husband and I are regulars and recommend it to friends often!

Exceptional Italian food. One of the best in L.A. Wonderful ambiance; friendly and easy. A very comfortable bar which is great for a last minute decision to have dinner! The wine list is extensive, and the advice is reliable! It is a great favorite for us and many others we know!

Amazing food and excellent service!

The best Italian restaurant on the west side of Los Angeles.

Lunch is an amazing experience
I’m telling all my friends who come for dinner that Maureen is open for lunch Tuesday through Friday

As usual, the food was the high point of our visit. We did feel somewhat pressured to leave when the restaurant emptied out just before 10pm, and that was not very comfortable.

It was very nice . They put us in the back room which I didn’t love because it was us and a table of two talking loud about their business plan . All other tables were empty. When they left we had our own large room. I would have preferred to be with the rest of the people in thE main Restuarant for a better experience .

The food is good but extremely expensive. It is a special occasion place .

Service was excellent .

Best Italian Restaurant in Los Angeles!!!
Octopus, Meatballs & Lasagna are off the charts
Always great food & service.

As always, food delicious at Vicenti. and lovely quiet evening with everyone out of town!! Everything is excellent, food, wine service....-- only complaint-- just as with many N. Italian restaurants on westside a bit overpriced (compared to eating this wonderful food in real Italy every summer!!)

Our waitress was horrible. She misdescribed two specials (such as what sauces and sides they came with/what ingredients were used) and failed to inform us until after the plates were before us and we asked what we were being served. After we mentioned she had described them differently, she nonchalantly said “Yes, I made a mistake.” And walked off. Next, sides came out and after clarifying a dish had no dairy multiple times for a lactose intolerant diner, the dish came out covered in butter. Again, she did nothing to apologize or correct the mistake. This issue continued with drinks and other dishes as well throughout the meal. Unacceptable.

Not much to say. The food seems to have gone downhill a bit. Interesting menu, excellent server, very average and overpriced meal. That being said we have very good meals there in the past.
This was the second very average meal in two weeks.something may have changed. Branzino 40 bucks??? A bit much.

Fabulous! Food was delicious, knowledgeable staff, beautiful setting

A beautiful interior, great service, and exquisite food. I almost hated to leave. The prices are high, but, like a fine wine, you get what you pay for. This was lunch between two old friends that get together once a quarter. I picked this restaurant because of location and its rating. I did not know that the restaurant has been open for 20 years, or that it was remodeled two years ago. I found all this out from our waitress, a very attentive woman, who was kind enough to answer all my questions. I am looking forward to going back, even though it is 70 miles from my home.

Amazing in every way.

Vincenti has wonderful, creative Italian food. The chef is from Puglia, Italy which is indicative if the cuisine. (Vincenti is NOT all about pasta and meat sauce.!) .

One thing to note: A 18% gratuity was added to both our bar and dining room checks. We were not informed of this and I almost double tipped our servers. They were great, but still no reason to tip them 36%!

Excellent Italian food, wonderful specials, great fish, delicious roast duck and lovely pasta dishes. Warmly hosted in a modern setting. Very friendly professional servers. Easily our favorite Brentwood Italian.

Awesome as usual !

One of those world-class restaurants that are host to some of the biggest celebrities in Hollywood, but make every dinner feel like they are royalty. Wonderful owner and chefs.

As always, Vincenti was excellent. Every time i eat there i ask myself, why don't i come here more often? I don't have an answer. But i need to remind myself to come more often. The food
is always great. Pasta is to die for. Everything we ate was fantastic; duck, branzino and did i mention the pasta? loved every bite.

Burratta and beet salad was and Bolognese are great.

Consistently excellent food and service. It's a neighborhood gem and always worth a repeat
