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.

Reviews
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.
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!
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!
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.
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.
Bryan the Manager checked on us and made our experience amazing for our first time at Vincent’s!! Thank You!!
Highly Recommend for a special occasion or to get some great food!!
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!
