Vince's Ristorante

Ordered for delivery: Chicken fettuccine Alfredo, lasagna, and the steak sandwich, with the soup and a side salad. They were having a DoorDash special with 20% off certain items - all of the ones below were on the special:Chicken Alfredo ($17 normally) was delicious. A surprisingly large amount of chicken, which was charred nicely for a kind of off-the-bbq flavor. Not sure if they flame grill it. Sauce was creamy and smooth. Lasagna ($16 normally) First off, this can NOT be meant for a single person to safely consume in a single sitting. Im surprised the bag the dasher delivered it in made the whole way. It does not come with garlic bread but I think they sell a whole loaf for like $7. Steak sandwich ($16 normally) you get 2 steaks and 1 roll which is meant to be eaten open faced (I wouldn't try to stack 2 steaks on top of each other like a normal sandwich, ha). Steak was cooked medium, which was impressive giving the thin nature of the steak. I did not get an option of steak temperature so i am not sure if you can specify in person (i ordered online). The bread was very garlicky and so moist with butter. The bread is also grilled giving it that nice charred flavor. No sauces, just delicious steak and garlic toast. Soup was so warm, hearty, and flavorful. Some of the ingredients are tomatoes, sausage(?), zucchini, elbow noodles, carrots, and celery. Broth is delicious all on its own. I used half of my bread from the steak sandwich to dip in the soup and then just saved the 2nd steak for later. Side salad is really good for a side. Comes with chickpeas, kidney beans, carrots, and a lovely slightly sweet vinaigrette.Total bill for 3 entrees after discount was $45 before tip.

Pretty much what David D. wrote on this past 8/7 (see below). My wife and I had been hitting Vince's semi-regularly - every month or six weeks - for years before we started noticing some not-for-the-better changes earlier this year. The most striking example of those changes has been the customer service, specifically the blonde waitress in the front bar/booth area. Time was when not only were we on a familiar chit-chat basis with a super-attentive and now-former waitress named Chrissy or Christy, but more than once, she had my adult beverage(s) of choice waiting on our table before we were even seated. As opposed to the woman who's waited on us our last three times there and not been very welcoming at all. In fact, whether intentional or not, her abrupt (that's being kind) manner comes across to me as if we customers are putting her out and she's doing us a favor by doing her job, which I don't think makes for a relaxing dining experience. Her choice of working attire - it was a cut-up T-shirt and faded blue jeans tonight - isn't the most professional for a food-&-beverage establishment that I've ever seen, either, but that might not matter so much to folks who can take a joke that way. The Italian food, pizza included, is still real good but all in all, Vince's isn't the go-to Italian place for us that it was not very long ago. We'll still get there for pizza every once in a not-so-short while but otherwise, it would appear that we need to find a new Italian restaurant, which isn't going to be easy here in the Sac area, because Vince's just doesn't make it for us the way it did before. A damn shame indeed.......

I've been coming to Vince's for about 50 years. It was a family favorite place. The food was good and the service was good. We came recently for dinner and ordered baked ravioli and pasta with prawns. My son ordered pasta Alfredo and he said it wasn't good it was very bland. My daughter ordered the chicken cacciatore and she said it was good. I think it's a place where regulars go. The food was bland and seemed like it wasn't fresh or prepared with much care. Our waitress was a little stand off-ish at first. She was busy and we weren't in very much of a hurry so we didn't mind. She warmed up by the end of dinner. We won't be going back. There's too many restaurants that have good fresh food and I'd rather spend my money on something good with great taste and quality. Sorry Vince's!!! We had a lot of great dinners in the past.

There are many reasons we keep coming back to Vince's after nearly a decade. On rare occasions we have eaten in the main restaurant , but our first choice is always the bar area. As much as I love food, I love environment. Vince's bar feels like a Quentin Tarantino version of Cheers - with the added bonus of serving up the kind of Italian my Nonnna made. This place is gritty, darkly lit and happy. Lots of regulars and people that know each other. It's noisy with the flow of conversation. Where strangers engage with regulars. The food has never disappointed. My favorite is the baked meatball sandwich but when I switch things up I go for the tasty lasagna. Bread is served and if you want more, just ask. There's an option for pizza but you won't find it on the menu. Vince's can get very busy but the service remains great no matter what. If you're lucky, Kloe will be your server. Packed house? You won't know it because she gets things done like it's a slow night and you're her only table. Come for the food. Stay for the old school vibe. This is your neighborhood Italian place. A West Sacramento icon. Not fancy. But perfect anyway.

If you are craving good - Italian, like from your Nonna's kitchen - please stop in.Husband was craving Alfredo - and he was so happy - I had the spinach gnocchi, recommended by the server - with Alfredo & marinara! Lord, it was delicious!Ambience is welcoming and you are family as son as you come in the door.

Excellent service, food had a real homemade vibe to it. Very old school home cooked feel. Definitely worth another visit

Food was amazing and so was the staff! Ribeye steak sandwich, baked cannelloni, minestrone soup, and teramasu for dessert. People were complaining on Facebook about this place and they are wrong.

Been coming to Vince's for over 35 years. It is one of our favorites in Sacramento. Since the new ownership several years ago, things have changed. The rib steak sandwich was my favorite, but now they use a very cheap grade meat and it's thinly sliced. Tough. The spaghetti servings are small, but the meat sauce is very tasty. The service is haphazard at best. They used to have servers who've been there for decades. Now, new servers at every visit. Service is slow; I think it's the kitchen. The owners better fix it, or they'll be gone like the Pheasant Club.

Love the food and service at Vince's. Great place to have lunch or dinner at if you're in West Sacramento.

This place is great! Good food, great service and has that old school, authentic Italian flavor!
