Vincenzo Cucina And Lounge

Vincenzo is a great spot! We came to celebrate a special occasion and shared 2 cheese wheel dishes and a the rib eye, we also started with zucchini blossoms. Our favorites were the Bella vista cheese wheel pasta and the zucchini blossoms. Jaime was our waiter and he was amazing! He even re light our celebration candle because we didn't get our picture in time. The drinks we delicious. I will definitely come back and try more of the menu!

We went to Vincenzo Cucina for a bachelorette party and we had a great experience! James took care of us was the best! The drinks were amazing! We will definitely come back!

James was incredible, will absolutely recommend to any who are intrigued. We will be back.

Paige and crystal were great serving us at the bar on Friday happy hour. We got a bunch of food, we got the calamari and oysters for starters.We shared parmigiano Reggianoad the amount of food was perfect. Wine was 9$ at happy hour from 3-5 good spot to start the party on Friday

Could this be one of the best happy hours in Little Italy?Although I don't love Aperol Spritzes, when my friends wanted to go here, I couldn't say no. Their vibes are spot on, the Aperol was as good as any other I've had, and their happy hour has some incredible deals.I had a spritz and shared the charcuterie board, which had a nice variety of cheeses and accompaniments. My friend got their Alfredo pasta and I had a bite, safe to say I will be coming back and getting one myself bc that was delicious! I think it's a good price for happy hour for the size of the plate ($18) but a bit overpriced for their regular price ($25)Will be coming back during happy hour to try more of their food!

Omg where do I start ! This place is the only place in San Diego to have a cheese wheel bar . They offer six different pastas you can pick from . They have a area with all the cheeses u can watch them do it . They have an amazing happy hour definitely worth checking out . The inside is huge with lots of seating options. They have a bar area in front that connects to the street for people to stop by and grab a drink . They also have a nice patio . The staff were so friendly and attentive we met Gio he came to our table to make sure everything was okay . Our waiter was Jamie he was so nice also . The service was above and beyond they want to make sure you are satisfied . The food was so delicious we got the pizza and pasta from the pasta wheel. OMG so good ! I can't wait to go back to San Diego just to have this pasta again . I highly recommend checking this place out.

GREAT SERVICE!! Went here on a Friday morning and got sat immediately. Our server was attentive. We ordered the Vincenzo French Toast and Steak & Eggs. The vanilla cream made the French toast absolutely delicious. It also wasn't soggy like some others. The initial steak came out looking like a dog treat. As soon as I got our servers attention and began speaking, he took the plate off the table before I even got to ask for a new steak. I really appreciated that. When the steak came out again, our server knew it was overcooked again and before even putting it down said to cut into it and then would take it back. The third time was the charm. The eggs were poached nicely. They also comped the steak without asking which was nice of them. The food was good and the service was on point. Overall, I would come back for the French Toast.

Came here for brunch and left wishing I ordered off the lunch menu. I came in because I was dying to try the tres leches waffle, unfortunately they were all out and the server recommended the Vincenzo french toast instead. I was not impressed, it tasted like a children's dessert. The French toast had little to no flavor and it felt like I was just eating berries with whipped cream and rainbow sprinkles. My other party ordered the steak and eggs, I would say ihop or Waffle House has better steak and eggs. Besides the food, the ambiance of the place was stunning and I would love to come back with an updated review on their lunch and dinner menu

We decided to take a stroll in San Diego's Little Italy and found Vincenzo Cucina & Lounge. We ended up having dinner here tonight. Super cute, vibrant restaurant that offers Italian food. We ordered a calamari to start & for entrées, we got: pappardelle porcini (with sausage), two orders of fusilli bolognese (with meatball), and bucatini carbonara (with chicken). Frittura di calamari e gamberi: 5/10. The calamari itself was cooked well and the batter had a nice crisp. A bit bland though. Comes with two different sauces & lemon. Pappardelle porcini: 5/10. One of their cheese wheel pasta dishes that I got with sausage. Also ran into the same issue of it being a bit bland but I liked that this dish arrived nice and hot. The sausage paired well with the pappardelle & sauce, however, only got 2 small pieces of sausage. Fusilli bolognese: 6/10. We got two orders of this dish, with the addition of meatballs. This dish was not bad, just nothing special. Bucatini carbonara: 6.5/10. The chicken was extremely dry and practically inedible. The pasta was all right. It looked and tasted like Krafts mac and cheese powder. Service: Hostess was friendly & our server was helpful and attentive. Overall, I'd say I probably would not come back to eat here. The food was not great & quite pricey at about $35/pasta dish, with the added protein. Kind of a let down and underwhelming for a restaurant located right in the center of Little Italy.

Hanging out in little Italy for the first time we took a stroll after trying some paleta down the street. Walking thru the night was bumping, lively music, restaurants, bars, pizzeria, you name it.We were out there kind of late and most places were closing. There was a super nice hostess standing outside at a counter to outdoor dining and we asked her if the kitchen would be closed, with 20 min left on the business hours and they stayed open late for people in the area.We sat down 4 topper, ordered:Calamari- well cooked not rubbery, crispy and two choices of dipping sauce with lemons. $20Chicken carbonara - the pasta was cooked well, sauce was creamy and had good flavor. I would put a pinch more salt in. The chicken addition was $5 option so about $30 for the dish unfortunately my chicken was super dry, probably go for sausage next time instead.The pappardelle pasta with shrooms and truffle was probably the best tasting in my opinion and came out hot which is good. $30-32The bolognese was a good mix with meatballs. Pretty standard for bolognese. Overall an enjoyable meal. $35ishTotal with fees etc was about $200+ with tip. For little Italy i thought the food would have a bit more flavor punch overall, a bit underwhelming.The service however was top notch. Appreciate that.
