" Had a lackluster meal last night. The mussels were okay, but my pizza was subpar. The crust was chewy, and it didn't have much flavor. Service was decent but a little too casual, not quite what you would expect from a place with such high ratings. Maybe we caught them on an off day. " (*Curated Review*)

" The location is delightful, right in the heart of Little Italy. My friends and I enjoyed a variety of dishes, and we were all pleased with the flavors and presentation. The highlight was the cheese wheel pasta—we couldn't stop raving about it. This will be a repeat visit for us! " (*Curated Review*)

" Delightfully surprised by this hidden gem! The staff was friendly and attentive. I ordered the tortellini, and they were delightful! The atmosphere was relaxed and welcoming. Perfect for both intimate evenings and family gatherings. I will recommend it to everyone! " (*Curated Review*)

" We visited last weekend and were pleased with the cozy atmosphere. The cheese wheel pasta was a definite winner. However, the main reason we won’t come back is the lukewarm reception and slow service. It’s a shame because the food was amazing, but the experience was less than ideal. " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited with some friends for their happy hour and was impressed! The appetizers we shared were delightful and spot on for the price. Our server was attentive despite the crowd, and we’ll definitely come back for dinner one evening. Overall highly recommend for a casual night out! " (*Curated Review*)

" I thoroughly enjoyed my meal at Vincenzo. The ambiance was warm and welcoming, making it the perfect setting for a dinner with friends. The pasta in a cheese wheel was phenomenal; I can’t recommend it enough! I will return to explore more dishes from the menu soon. Highly recommended! " (*Curated Review*)

" The outdoor seating was lovely but we encountered issues with getting our orders right. My husband’s meal was incorrect, and despite our server’s best efforts, it took too long to fix it. The atmosphere was great; however, the inconsistency in service left us frustrated. I would like to give it another shot to see if it's better next time. " (*Curated Review*)
