I had to wear my coat the entire time we were there, it was cold! The waitress was personable and efficient. The space was very pretty as it was decorated for Christmas. The sourdough bread was quite tasty, but could have used more than the tablespoon of olive oil given for dipping. Ordered the Italian Salad, it was okay but not the melange of flavors I was expecting based on the ingredient list. I ordered the Chicken Piccata; I have never seen it made with a cream sauce, which this was. I am lactose intolerant so it would have been helpful to be clued in on the menu that this was the case. The chicken was tasty and served over a bed of pasta, unfortunately the cream sauce was too heavy and drowned the flavor rather than enhance it. My husband had the veal Marsala, which stated it was a “crispy veal cutlet”. It is not served scallopini so it was a bit too dense. We had the limoncello and chocolate cakes for dessert, the chocolate cake was a bit dry. A mediocre experience that we likely will not repeat.

Had a great time in Vincent Chicco’s! Lizzy was fantastic. Jennifer, the General Manager, was very welcoming. Impressive wine list. Only critique would be that when I went to the restroom, I could hear a football game playing at the bar next door, which I wouldn’t expect in an establishment like that. Luckily we couldn’t hear it at our table! Order the stuffed mushrooms, you won’t be disappointed.

We decided to take out-of-town friends here on New Year's Day because we had enjoyed the food previously on a few occasions. Two of us ordered the Chicken Piccata. It was a fried piece of dry chicken with a bland milk sauce on top of pasta. There was no lemon taste, capers, or anything close to resembling Chicken Piccata. Two other people at our table ordered Chicken Parmigiana and the Ravioli. Those were both just mediocre dinners and no one even finished their plates. It felt like the B-Team was in the kitchen today. Our waiter, Reggie, was excellent. He was on point for checking on us and providing excellent service.
