Vingenzo's

"As a couple who are of color, when we entered the restaurant, we felt uncomfortable and unwelcome. We were waiting for a table and wanted to wait by the bar but they refused to put chairs by the bar to sit down and drink. So we went across the street to wait, which was a much warmer and friendlier. There was no bread being served while waiting for food. I had to ask for bread. Then the waitress made a big deal about trying to get me to skip bread since I’m ordering pizza anyways and apparently it takes the same amount of time to prepare house bread. We would have ordered more food (wanted to try the veal ) if they made us feel more welcome. We ended up going to another restaurant as soon as we finished our pizza and sausage. The pizza barely had any cheese on it. I am from NYC so I’m used to better quality Italian food. This is nowhere near anything what I’m used to at the amazing NYC Italian restaurants of NYC. .. both food and atmosphere wise However, when we go to the amphitheater for live music in the summer, Vingenzos sells drinks outside and I always love that service."

"Wow! Wow! Wow! Chef Bologna is amazing! I don't post reviews that often -- only for exceptional food...and this delivered. Two in our party are gluten free and had the BEST pizza they have ever had...ever. My husband had the pork shank that was outstanding! OMG! Fell off the bone and had amazing flavors. I had the Fettuccine Pomodoro & Ricotta which was equally fantastic. Will definitely come back again, and again, and again!!"

"I'll first start by saying that the owner was super friendly, informative, and helpful. Also, the pizza was fantastic, with fresh ingredients and a great balance of flavors. However, the rest of the staff was inexplicably unfriendly and my cacio e pepe was swimming in olive oil (see photo). I thought that the bread pudding was very tasty but the affogato had way too much amaretto. It was, overall, an inconsistent and unappealing experience."

"We went there cause the good reviews we had read, oh my, oh my, the reviews will never explain how awesome this place is. I am a Celiac and going out gets depressing as not many offer true gluten free options. I was hesitant until the waitress told me I can order basically anything on the menu and they will make it Gluten Free. I almost cried and could not stop smiling from the time I ordered and hours later I’m writing this and still smiling! The treatment towards us was so awesome! We walked in with no reservation and they got us a seat within seconds."

"We visited for a birthday celebration and left after a great time! Attentive, knowledgeable servers. The chef makes from scratch what has to be the best-looking Bloody Mary I have ever seen! The brunch menu was wonderful and the prices were great. I had the prosciutto and eggs pizza and everyone was envious! Topped off with some of the owner-chef's peaches and cream gelato. I can hardly wait to visit again."
