MY REVIEW: Visited for lunch October 2012. The place was empty when we walked in at noon on a Monday. We wondered if they were open, but my son had called ahead and they seated us and served drinks. The service was slow, and the food was good basic italian. About 3 other parties has arrived before we finished. The place needs some basic maintenance. We were hoping for a quiet place to visit with out of town friends which worked out well, but the slow service and lack of customers did not impress.

MY REVIEW: My first experience with Vincenzo's was great!

The wife and I went there about a week ago. We sat down, a couple seconds later someone came to get our drink order We both ordered a beer Shiner Bocks cold, at the perfect temperature. We got the chicken alfredo. Both were absolutely perfect and the portions were huge. Will visit again.

MY REVIEW: Had my 60th Birthday Party there with about 50 guests! Everything was fabulous and fun! The staff was very accommodating and I got loads of compliments on the food and service! We had hot appetizers, lasagne, and chicken parmesan; with salad and garlic bread. With alcohol, and tip, it was only about $20 per person! This restaurant really caters to the dancing community; I had my own DJ and we did line dancing and couples dancing; plus an adult version of musical chairs. Totally memorable evening!

MY REVIEW: I was most stunned by the decorations and elaborate dance floor. I went the night before Valentine's so that my fiance and I could enjoy a romantic evening without the extra guest. It was wonderful they had standup poetry which, I enjoyed a great deal. The music was very pleasant and updated. I had lasagna which, was very delectable and tasty. My fiance had a chicken and pasta dish which, also stated was delicious. I hope to be having my wedding reception there in June since, I was informed that they do those types of events. So kudos Vincenzo's.

MY REVIEW: I have not actually dined at the restaurant, I have had food delivered three times to my work. The spaghetti and meat sauce is premo! The Chocolate Eruption Cake is also delicious. The staff are very friendly when I call in my order and the gentlemen that deliveries my food is not your typical food delivery person...he is so courteous and professional he rounds out my whole meal!

MY REVIEW: No staff
No service
No nothing

Stopped in for lunch 1/4/2011 at 11:40 am. Place was deserted except for one couple. No hostess, no wait staff. Waited several minutes looking at a pile of menus and then left. The sign said open but you fooled me.

Why go back?

MY REVIEW: My wife and I went to the new year's eve party hosted at Vincenzo's.

It was fun and the food was great, the service was top notch (even when they were REALLY busy) and the restaurant looks amazing.

I suggest giving this restaurant a shot if you haven't already.

MY REVIEW: Last night was our first visit. We had a great time. Jerry & Merry was the entertainment for the night and they were GREAT. We were also fortunate because there were customers there that were very ballroom savvy. It was so much fun watching them and yet envious because we are ballroom anything. The food was very good and our waiter Julian was excellent. We look forward to our next visit.

MY REVIEW: Alright, lets make this one straight to the point:

I've been at the place twice, both times I was served by Julian. I had S.Alfredo my first time, and I had the steak for the 2nd time. The service(from Mr Julian) was fantastic & the food was fantastic. The steak was one of the best damn steaks I've had, It was juicy and full of flavor.

Felt I needed to share that.

MY REVIEW: This was my strangest dining experience ever. We got there for lunch at 11:15 and I knew they opened at 11. Even though there were 8 cars in the parking lot nobody was there to seat us until the waiter walked in about 5 minutes later. After taking our orders the waiter walked across the parking lot to the motel, we could see through the windows! Shortly after, 2 or 3 people walked out of the kitchen and across the parking lot to the motel. At this point, we didn't want to eat the food but we were so amused at what was going on around us that we stayed. We were still the only patrons. Luckily the waitor came back and offered us a free glass of "world famous lemonade." Our food took awhile and the waitor said it was because they forgot to put the pepperoni on the pizza and I couldn't help but laugh. 1 other customer walks in by himself, a regular maybe. They charged us 14 dollars for an 8 dollar entree, which we caught and had corrected. We paid in cash and won't go back again.

MY REVIEW: My friend and I had a delicious lunch consisting of salad and chicken alfredo. The decor is beautiful, and the service is outstanding. We were going to order dessert, but with the large portions and additional rolls and herb butter we decided to wait until next time. I am glad that there is a good restaurant in the Greenspoint area again.

MY REVIEW: Vincenzo’s Italian Grill and Bar, located at I-45 and Greens Road, is an elegant, undiscovered gem of the Greenspoint area. The first emotion one feels upon stepping past the modest exterior to the intimate, yet professional interior might be, “Am I still in Greenspoint?” Solid wood floors are complimented by stained glass accents, and natural light filtering in from the two walls of windows creates a cheery mood. The bar appears well-equipped and sophisticated enough for some of the most discerning patrons, while the waitstaff are attentive and courteous, offering fresh rolls and garlic butter to accompany one’s entrée. Those employed in Greenspoint will find the large, inviting dining area a welcome retreat for a quiet lunch meeting.

The main courses are moderately priced (from $6 for a small pizza to $15 for a dinner entrée), but some lack the fullness of flavor one might expect from traditional Italian cuisine. These dishes might be improved by the simple inclusion of fresh basil and chopped garlic, if only as a garnish, to expand their culinary complexity. However, one might expect these changes to be incorporated over time as Vincenzo’s establishes itself in the area.

More tantalizing than the current atmosphere and menu offering is perhaps the inherent potential that this establishment has yet to harness. For instance, the conversion of the unused dance floor into a full-service pasta bar during the lunch hour could launch Vincenzo’s into Greenspoint greatness amongst those looking for a quick, inexpensive meal. A more modest development could be the addition of an affordable “build-your-own” pasta menu, to suit the needs of any guest and expand upon the current, rather limited menu options. Nonetheless, Vincenzo’s Italian Grill and Bar is a Greenspoint restaurant not to be missed, and for those seeking an Italian eatery in the immediate Greenspoint area – this is it.

MY REVIEW: I had a wonderful experience at Vincenzo's. The chef came to our table to give us details of the daily specials, which was really nice that he took the time to explain. The wait staff was very helpful and worked hard to accommodate our table of 12. They were attentive and caring. I will definately come back again!
