Stumbled on this restaurant while visiting the area and so glad we did. We had an amazing meal here and the Caesar salad was to die for. Service was friendly and professional. From the cocktails to the desert we loved it all.
Great service friendly staff and amazing table side Caesar Salad table side lobster ravioli delicious
They don't need my recommendation but I'll leave it! This restaurant is an institution in the Wilmington area and a family owned business. You really have to order the table Cesar salad not just for the entertainment but because it is the best you will have ever eaten. The staff is busy but friendly and efficient. The 4 dishes we ordered were all delicious as were the desserts.
Hands down the best food in this area. The Caesar salad was the best we've ever had. The long hots were excellent and so was everything else ! Great family owned Delaware business
My husband and I have been going to Vincentes for over 20 years. It's a warm environment with excellent food. I always order the same thing because I love it that much. I try but can't bring myself to order anything else but the filet Au Poivre and the Caesar Salad. I could eat it every day. Course, leaving room for the Galliano cake. I wonder if they'd sell me the whole cake...its that good. My husband loves the pasta and the veal and fights me for the piece of cake.
Authentic Italian fare, reasonable prices, comfortable atmosphere, attentive staff and a show(Caesar salad, and Bananas Foster)! Wife said I did good, for our Anniversary dinner. Thanks Vincente's
I took my U Del student to dinner at Vincente's during Parents Weekend. I'm glad I did. This is an "old school" red sauce joint that does the classics, and does them well. We started with the table side Caesar salad. It was delivered with fanfare and a bit of panache. The lettuce was cool and crisp, and the dressing made a la minute. As soon as he cracked a fresh egg and separated the yolk out at our table, I knew we were in for a treat. One of the best Caesar salads I've had. The chef really loved the performance nature of tableside prep. While we were there, he made at least 4 tableside Caesar salads, two orders of tableside Bananas Foster, and one of Steak Au Poivre. All delivered with flair. I ordered my standard for places like this; Chicken Parm with linguine. My daughter had Penne Bolognese. Both were served with warm rolls and butter, and both were preceded by an amuse bouche consisting of a bite of flounder al limone with toasted bread crumbs, and a small piece of fresh garlic bread. My daughter, who is not a fish eater by any stretch of the imagination, loved the flounder. I did too. I''d order it for my entree next time. The Chicken Parm was perfect in every way. Exactly what I wanted and expected. The linguine was a bit less al dente than I would have preferred, but I didn't ask nor order it al dente, so that's on me. The Penne bolognese was wonderful; the pasta was cooked well, and the bolognese sauce was not diluted with cream or milk the way it often is. We had the house special pumpkin spice cheesecake and chocolate mousse for dessert. Both were spot on. $60 plus tip for more food than we could eat (a college kid LOVES leftovers), and fabulous taste. Recommended for a traditional Italian meal when in the Newark, Delaware area.
