The Year Was 1904 And The Place Was New York’s Little Italy. Giuseppe And Carmela Siano Emigrated From Italy With Hopes Of Creating A Better Life For Their Son Vincent. With A Love And Desire To Share Their Knowledge Of How To Prepare And Serve The Food They Missed From Back Home, They Began Selling Seafood From A Pushcart On The Corners Of Mott And Hester Streets In New York City. People Began Coming From Near And Far To Sample Their Calamari, Scungilli, Shrimps, Mussels And Clams; All Prepared With Their Soon To Be World Famous Mild, Medium, And Hot Sauces. Because Of The Overwhelming Success Of Their Business, They Decided To Move Into The Storefront On That Same Corner Naming Their New Restaurant After Their Son.

This place is very family oriented. The wait staff are all friendly & welcoming. They make you feel like family. The food is delicious & I’m pretty sure anything on the menu will leave your belly feeling happy. The lemon drop martinis are so good.

Met up with a few buddies for lunch at Vincent’s Clam Bar in Carle Place. I used to go to the original Vincent’s in Little Italy on Mott & Hester. The Vincent’s in Carle Place is decorated with lots of photos and reminders of where they came from. You get that feeling like you’re back on Mott St. but on a much larger scale.
Our server, Deeana was awesome. I hope I spelled her name right. Super attentive and fast with everything and so friendly.
We ordered apps, lunch specials and entrees from the main menu. The portions are huge. I ordered the chicken parm lunch and had to wrap half of it because I was full. It also came with a choice of garden or Cesar’s salad. We also ordered the rice balls (5) appetizer for the table, they were great for sharing.
It was very crowded for a Thursday but we got seated rather quickly.

We had an amazing birthday dinner at Vincent’s Clam Bar! From the moment we walked in, the staff was so friendly and attentive. The service was fast, and everything came out perfectly timed.
The food was absolutely delicious. I had the Bolognese gnocchi, which comes with the most delicious meatballs — highly recommend!
We also ordered the baked clams, lobster bisque, and everything was outstanding. So flavorful and fresh!
Such a great experience all around. We’ll definitely be back!

Vincent’s was super inviting from the moment I arrived. I’d definitely recommend making a reservation if you have a larger party. Since it was just me, I grabbed a seat at the bar and had a great experience. The wait staff was very attentive.
I started with the lobster bisque and later ordered the lobster ravioli—both were absolutely delicious. I also had a great conversation with the GM while sitting at the bar, which really added to the experience. I took the crème brûlée back to my room and it did not disappoint!
There was a live band playing, which I really enjoyed, and it was surprisingly busy for a Tuesday night. Pricing was very reasonable for the quality and portion sizes.
Highly recommend!

We got a reservation and came in on a Saturday morning, and the experience was pretty smooth overall. The service was good, and the space is very spacious, which makes it comfortable even when it’s busy. The restaurant came highly recommended, so expectations were fairly high.

The food, however, was a bit hit or miss. The money bags were excellent and definitely the standout of the meal. The fettuccine Alfredo with chicken was unfortunately a miss — the pasta was undercooked. That said, the portions are generous and the overall value is good, especially for a sit-down Italian spot.

Overall, a solid neighborhood restaurant with some strong dishes, though not everything hits the mark.

We made a last-minute reservation on a cold and rainy Sunday night, and I’m glad we did — several walk-in groups around us were being quoted 45 minutes to an hour.

That said, the experience didn’t start off great. When we walked in, the three hostesses at the stand completely ignored us. Maybe we interrupted a very important conversation, but it took them a solid minute or two to acknowledge we were even there, which left a bad first impression.

Thankfully, the night turned around quickly thanks to our server, who was absolutely superb. He was attentive, warm, and everything we needed after that rocky start. I wish I remembered his name so I could give him the shout-out he deserves.

For appetizers, we ordered the lobster bisque, garlic knot, rice balls, baked clams, and mussels. Everything tasted fresh and delicious — almost too fresh, considering there was a bit of sand in the mussels. Still, the flavors were spot-on and we really enjoyed them.

For our entrée, we shared the chicken marsala with linguini, but unfortunately neither my husband nor I enjoyed it. The sauce leaned far too sweet for our taste. We’d absolutely return for the appetizers, but we’d skip that dish next time.

The atmosphere was captivating — truly something happening everywhere you looked. The staff was hustling nonstop, and while the space was loud and a bit overwhelming, it actually added to the energy in a fun way.

Overall, great apps, great service (once we got past the hostess stand), and a lively environment. We’d go back, but with a different entrée choice.

The ambience is so beautiful and the food portions are excellent base in price. I had a wonderful experience. My only complaint is the reception desk ladies cause I was at the bar and just for 3 minutes delay the gave my table to someone else which I consider not fair, and then make us wait for around half hour maybe more. (Bringing people ahead, like making me do the line twice)

Food and service was great, large portion sizes, and fast service. However, the tables are so close to each other you can hear everyone’s conversation around you. We were seated near the door and everyone who just came in were basically standing right over us, so that made it a bit uncomfortable.

Had lunch at Vincent’s Clam Bar in Carle Place, and it was absolutely phenomenal. I ordered the Penne à la Vodka with Chicken and a Chicken Caesar Salad, and both were top-notch. You can really taste the fresh ingredients — the pasta was cooked perfectly, the sauce was rich and flavorful, and the chicken was tender and well-seasoned.

The portions are huge, so it’s a great value for the price. My entire lunch was under $50, and I even had enough leftovers to take home — which almost never happens for me.

Between the quality, portion size, and friendly service, Vincent’s is definitely one of the best Italian spots around. Whether you’re stopping in for lunch or dinner, you’ll leave full and happy. Highly recommend!
