We took my parents here for dinner for my mom's birthday. I made reservations for 4 online which was super easy.when we first arrived, the hostess asked the name and when I said it was for 5 instead if 4 I accidentally made the reservation for 4 when it should have been 5 I felt like she had an immediate attitude. Even my son mentioned it. Like it was a big deal (it really wasnt) her demeanor was definitely not friendly (even watching her the whole time we were there she had grumpy vibes) BUT I'm glad we stayed despite the hostess. The waiter was excellent and very attentive (thanks Chris!) he even brought my mom a slice of birthday cake. Mr Vincente Jr made the Cesar Salad in front of us and gave us a history of the recipe (but didn't give us the recipe of course) and he was super proud of the salad. He was entertaining & the salad was perfect. He's there Friday & Saturday. I made a note. The food was delicious. The cheesecake was divine. It's a bit pricey but you get you pay for and well worth it. From the atmosphere to the food to the service, it's definitely 5 stars. My only suggestion would be to encourage the hostess to have a more welcoming demeanor.
Went there tonight. Beautiful atmosphere. Great waitress mary. Calamari delicious, chicken parm and homemade paste great. Husband said veal piccante had more lemon then he liked but still good. Tiramasu was good but not great. Would go back in a heartbeat.
Vincente's Restaurant in Newark, Delaware, exceeded all our expectations! My husband and I enjoyed a perfect dinner here, with every detail thoughtfully executed. The highlight of our evening was the Caesar salad show—a truly delightful and unique experience that added a special touch to the meal. The food was absolutely exquisite, and the prices were very reasonable for the quality and presentation. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, making it a perfect spot for a memorable dinner. We were so impressed with everything that we’re already looking forward to dining here again in the future. Highly recommend Vincente’s for anyone looking for excellent food, great ambiance, and outstanding service!
My parent’s had their wedding anniversary dinner booked at a different restaurant (At the Rail) but arrived to no heat and a 3 option food menu. My mom was in tears. My parents called Vincente’s who not only got them in right away but also went out of their way to make it a night to remember. Despite being extremely busy with large parties, the staff made my parents feel special. When they arrived home, they both had huge smiles and so much to tell me about the food, the incredible staff and their dining experience. They really had the perfect anniversary dinner. Since I was puppy sitting for them, they insisted I try some leftovers. I was completely wowed by the veal Oscar- that sauce!!!! Thank you all from the bottom of my heart for saving their day. Vincente’s has earned a forever spot as the go-to place for special occasions.
A bunch of us had my birthday dinner at Vincentes! We all had a wonderful dinner and our waitress was the absolute best!! The owner made our salads and desserts table side such a wonderful experience!! If i could give more stars I definitely would!! Thank you Vincentes!!
