“ Day 1 at my new job, they catered from Vincent’s, and I got the chicken Caesar salad. Life. Changed. Their house-made Caesar dressing? Elite. The chicken? Charred to perfection. Been coming back ever since. I’ve had salads, wraps, rice pudding, and their drinks—all fire. Speaking of wraps, the chicken Caesar wrap is wrapped in pizza dough. Yes, you read that right. It’s like a pita on steroids and so worth it. Even the side bread they give with salads is top tier. Every time I walk in, it’s packed. The phone? Ringing off the hook. That’s how you know it’s good. But they stay properly staffed, so I’ve never had an insane wait time. The inside? Spacious, clean, and well-organized. They run a tight ship, and it shows. Portions? Big. Staff? Super friendly. Jay and the team always make you feel like family. They even give solid recommendations, and my list of things to try is getting long. Would I recommend? 1000%. Would I be back? Probably tomorrow. ”
“ I recently visited NYC from North Carolina with my sister on January 22, 2025, around 7:17 pm, and had an unforgettable dining experience. We enjoyed some of the most amazing, authentic Italian food I’ve ever had! The chicken parmesan was absolutely delicious, and the tossed salad was fresh and perfect. But the real star was Vincent’s homemade pasta sauce—rich, flavorful, and truly a taste of Italy. Grabbed a few jars to take back home to NC with me. Our server, I believe his name was Jonathan, was exceptional. He was attentive, friendly, and really made our meal even more enjoyable. Highly recommend this spot if you're looking for a true Italian dining experience in NYC! ”
“ My third time here. It’s so good. The portion sizes are amazing. One of my faves to get here are the mussels with marinara sauce from the appetizers section. It’s worth coming here alone. We got the snapper for our entree as a recommendation from our waiter as we were picking between that and the salmon and it was absolutely delicious. We always leave so stuffed after coming here, but we will definitely be back. ”
“ Saturday March 29th 2025 we went to Vincent's Clam Bar. We made reservations and I highly recommend this. You can make it right from their website or through open table. We had reservations for 5:00 table of two and our waiter was Neptune. AKA Jeremy. He was very friendly and personable. The service was excellent. As well as the food was incredibly delicious. Decently priced for the amount of food that you get. More than enough food for the price. While the restaurant is a little loud we have found this is been very common. We ordered for an appetizer baked clams, they were whole clans in an awesome oreganata sauce. You get a nice loaf of bread for the table. We ordered for dinner the fried shrimp and calamari combination dinner as well as the snapper abrusezee. The servings were quite large and we landed up bringing the leftovers home. Unfortunately we didn't have room for dessert although they looked and sounded delicious. You could tell the general manager was well aware of everything going on in the restaurant. Every table was continuously watched for any needs such as water or drinks, napkins etc. Very attentive staff. Very clean establishment. Lots of parking and a nice drive up area for picking up takeout. Highly recommend this restaurant. Thanks for a delicious meal and a perfectly paced dinner. Not too long but not rushed either. Quite enjoyable. We will definitely return in the future. ”
“ Man versus Food Most exceptional restaurants have great bread complimentary . Vincent’s is no different. A truly fantastic venue with an Italian flair! PROS: 1) delicious quality food 2) generous portions 3) excellent lunch specials 4) live band Tuesday at 6 pm 5) Wed. 1/2 price bottle of wines with 2 entrees 6) one of the few places that you can still have dinner & drinks under 100 for 2 person CONS: 1) the draft beer was less than a pint? 2) main dining room seating is a bit crowded Vincent’s is an absolute favorite with the locals. Great food & vibes ”
“ We came here during valentines weekend and had a great time! Do not sleep on the giant garlic knot, it was so good! I ordered the special pasta - lobster kiss and it was delicious, it was full of scallops and lobster meat. We also ordered the raw clams, super fresh. ”
“ This place is the BOMB!!!!! I am not sure why people gave it 1 review. Just left there. Had lunch. From the time I stepped foot in this restaurant, I was met with nothing but nice people. The atmosphere is amazing! The people, waiters, servers were all kind. The food came out quick. It was delicious! I got two orders of food one to eat there and one for my husband at home and as you can see from the picture he was pleased and full. I wish I knew my server name because it made my lunch even better. This place gets 5 stars from me! I wish I could give it 100 stars!! I highly recommend this restaurant! ”
“ Quite literally the best dining experience. From Bobby to Neptune, they were beyond attentive and kind. The food was out of this world. We started with their fresh and warm bread to then getting the classic Caesar salad and couldn’t pass up on their fresh chicken parm with penne a la vodka. If you need quality Italian, this is your place. They book up quick so don’t sleep on it. ”
