Vincenzo's

This place is a true gem!

We went for our Anniversary and had a wonderful time. Caprese salad, artichoke salad, seafood spaghetti and veal.

All finished by this dessert that we destroyed before I could grab a good photo.

There with friends. First time for all of us. Didn't start smoothly as we had a 7:00 pm reservation and weren't seated until 7:30. However, Vincenzo himself took charge and actually set the table himself!
Service was really good. A real team effort.
My wife and I split a Caesar salad. It was very good and 1/2 was plenty. My wife ordered the ravioli with chicken and she says it was delicious. I got the fettuccine con pollo. Also very good. Our friends ordered pasta and red sauce w/o meat (he is vegan and there are no vegan entrees on the menu). They were very accommodating and allowed him to essentially special order his meal. He must have like it since he ate every bite. Our other friend had veal, and loved it!
Ambiance was too loud for my taste, but some of that was due to another table of other friends having a great time.
Interestingly the semi-prepared meal is further prepared tableside.
I definitely recommend Vincenzo's if you are in Louisville.

Food was good nothing really to write home about hence the 2 rating . Presentation to the table was nice in the pots to warm plates.

Service was terrible. Waited 1.5 hours and all tables around us were getting served in 15 min-20 min , we inquired and Daniele informed us it was the rigatoni. Now i am a chef and know it takes 10-12 min for rigatoni. We asked for the manager, he came over when the food was being served to the table to apologize and tell us the pastry chef was preparing something very special apologized for the delay. Well. The masterpiece from the pastry chef was a serving of the white choc mousse tart cut into 3 serving. Shameful and no communication about the delay. Terrible Service. I have never had such horrible service

Ambiance was ok however loud and large group could be heard all over the dining room floor from a private area.

Will not be going back to this establishment.

One of the best dining experiences in Louisville- great Northern Italian Food. Service was perfect along with a great atmosphere. Started off with table side appetizer Tortellini Buddeke Crepe Agostino- perfect order made right in front of you. Lamb Chops was cooked to perfection and Lobster Spaghetti is one of the best meals in the country! Love Vincenzo's - Highly recommended

Was looking for a sit down place for lunch and came across Vincenzo's. You walk in and are greeted with friendly staff. Walking further in you see peaceful table settings that are accentuated with big, bright windows. For lunch I had salmon that was nothing spectacular. The service however was top tier. My server was beyond accommodating with the biggest heart. I'd come back just for him.

Beautiful setting. The food was phenomenal. Service level was off the charts. This is a must if you are in the downtown Louisville area

Vincenzo's was extremely disappointing. I'd describe it as 5 star pricing, 4 star ambiance, 2 star food, and 1 star service. If you judged by the restaurant's appearance and prices (and the sheer number of staff), you'd expect an amazing experience. Yet the menu is extremely limited, the taste of the food is subpar (honestly no better than chain Italian restaurants), and we had servers who just were inattentive. We arrived very early -- 5 pm on Saturday, yet it took more than an hour to get our main dishes. The appearance of the food was nice, but the actual taste was meh.

Ten years between visits, it's not nearly as good as I remembered. The service is great, super attentive with table side preparations. There is literally a team of waiters catering to your every need.
We went early evening, there were 2 other tables and the restaurant didn't impress in the light of day. Again not as elegant as I remembered, it looked aged and a bit weathered. There are small windows on one wall giving the feel of being in a basement.
They had some unique signature cocktails or so I thought but to be honest giving a standard Manhattan or Old Fashioned a cutesy name doesn't necessarily improve it. Vincenzo's is pricey for Italian, making it a poor value given the taste of their food and is the reason for the 3 star review. We started with the Cesar salad, which I recall was prepared table side. This time it wasn't, maybe because it takes too much time so they've dispensed with this practice. Nothing special and certainly not worth the $16 price. We had some risotto with a medley of fish and shrimp, crazy salty. For entrees we selected linguine and meatballs (my wife's taste are simple), the noodles tasted homemade and they along with sauce were good but the meatballs were rubbery, so rubbery we could probably use to play pickle ball, which we did... just kidding, but they were rubbery. I got the lamb chops covered with rosemary and bourbon demi-glacé. Umm the sauce was a little off and there was some gaminess that came through, perfectly cooked though.

So there you go, sans the dessert, pretty expensive not so great tasting Italian. The service is awesome though, well... they serve like 6 lamb chops, I only ate 3, they boxed up the remaining 3 and placed the 3 bones of the chops I ate in there too, so there's that....

The service was nice. Food was very tasty.
I love the meatballs and the ravioli.




I will say the valet parking was pretty strange. He got our keys and parked a few spaces down and when we finished eating we were given the keys to walk back to the car.

I came to visit family and this restaurant is high end classy casual. The waiters are dressed in formal attire and the atmosphere is very nice. I loved the smoked salmon appetizer with an arugula salad that had a wonderful balsamic reduction dressing. My entree was so flavorful!!! I had the Ravioli Con Pollo Spinach Funghetti Mascarpone. The service was great if I ever cone back this will be a definite dinner spot. I do recommend that you dress up a bit. There is some street parking and a parking garage close by.
