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.

We were not happy with our entrees. The bread was delicious but the pasta was not special (they said it was homemade). I had pasta with chicken piccata. It was a lightly lemon and cream sauce (I expected more of a wine, lemon, butter, garlic sauce) and the chicken was fried. The Brussels sprouts were fried, tasty but greasy. Another dish we had was drowning in oil and needed flavor. I would not come back. Our waiter was sweet as was the hostess at the front door.
