Vincenzo's Mediterranean Restaurant

My wife and I had not visited this restaurant for some time as I found the food to be average. We decided to dine there last night because it is close to our home. The good news is that the food has improved greatly. The bad news is that the service has deteriorated to the level of being poor. The highlight in terms of service was when we asked if we could make a booking we were told "Yes, of course." It was all down-hill from there.The person receiving the booking found it difficult to spell our simple surname.When we arrived, although the interior of the restaurant was completely empty, we were seated at a table around the corner and partly out of sight of the counter (a significant featur...

This restaurant was due to close a couple of years ago but vocal customer dismay at the prospect caused a re-think. There ill be many happy about that. The food, take-away and dine in, is very good, true to its heritage as far as my experience goes, with ample portion sizes across the board. The menu is pretty much pasta, pizzas, risotto, and a range of similarly themed meals. For take-away, the pizzas are good value for money and, as Molly would say, do yourself a favour and try the Risotto Pollo Paprika. All meals seem to be less salty than in the past - a new chef or health outlook I don't know. In house service is usually very good with evidence of training. Occasionally it's patchy but...

This is a regular haunt for us, fortnightly. Food has always been great. Service fast and reasonably friendly. On this particular visit, service was good, food came out quite fast. Serving sizes were smaller than usual. And the Fettuccine Pollo e Funghi, that I always order was quite foul tasting. I did mention to the waitress that it wasn't very nice, she didn't seem too concerned. We paid the bill and left. Needless to say, we will not be back. Seems, gone are the days of good old family restaurants and now its all about getting the customers in and out and scrimping on ingredients to make a quick buck. You get what you pay for.

We went for an impromptu meal on a Saturday night and had a great experience. The staff were very friendly without being over the top and allowed us the time to have a drink before deciding on our meal.As a BYO it was great to take our own wine and the corkage was moderate. The meals were made fresh and tasted delicious with ample portions.After the meal we weren't made to feel like moving on and had plenty of time to talk over our bottle of wine.Highly recommended for a quality affordable meal.

We had a lovely time at Vincenzo's on my husband's 70th birthday at which there were 22 people including ten children. We had a large variety of food, and all of it was very enjoyable.
