    Chicken Parm w/Linguine
    Monica H.

    I was super excited to try the Original Vincent's after going to their Long Island location, which I loved! But, I was unfortunately very disappointed in the service and cleanliness of the restaurant. Upon entering, we had to wait a while to be seated and served regardless of the fact that the restaurant was practically empty. Out of our four place settings, at least two included dirty utensils. After requesting new utensils, the server took the dirty ones from us but never came back with clean ones. We also waited a while for our server and another while for our food to actually come out. All in all the food tasted good but in my opinion was a little over priced for the poor service and not-so-clean atmosphere. I will not be coming back to this Vincent's location.

    Rigatoni Marinara - don't even need to ask for al dente or it will be too hard. Best pasta dish you will eat in your life with this sauce.

    EPIC SAUCE - MUST TASTE - Coming from an Italian, true foodie, and sauce connoisseur... this restaurant is a legacy and is going to close unless we save it. This is single handily the absolute most amazing marinara/red sauce/gravy whatever you want to call it that you will ever taste in your life. Absolutely nothing compares. I do not write reviews but feel it is my civil duty to give this sauce justice. You can eat it by the spoon, even bowl lol or with bread and calamari dunked in it. The rigatoni is awesome, so are the ravioli and lasagna. We have tried to go a few times and they have been closed. I have been coming here from NJ since I was a little girl. We stocked up on the jared sauce you buy in the restaurant but it is not the same. The supermarket version of this sauce is better but still not as amazing as what you get in this restaurant. I beg of you please send everyone you know here ... I dare you to find a better tasting sauce. They have sweet, medium, hot something for everyone. I suggest sweet on the food and a side of medium and hot for $1 each for dipping and adding on the side. You must trust me on this one and please leave a review if you go and agree. How do they have 13 reviews being open for decades ?! Keep it simple here get a pasta with marinara, chicken parm,calamari, ravioli and plenty of sauce. I guarantee you have never had sauce like this.

    Why does this place only have one other review? That's a little sketchy. I've been going here my entire life, and there is nothing that compares to the calamari and marinara. If and when you go, sit at the bar and watch them cook. It's all part of the experience. The service, the food, the waiters; are all fantastic. Again I've been going here my entire life eating who knows how much of that marinara... Ask for it medium. If you like it spicy, ask for hot. But if you would like to taste your food and the flavors of your meal go as high as medium. Hot is just asking for a challenging meal. Maybe ask for a side of hot. Just trust me on this. My staples are calamari and the chicken Parm. Steamed or fried calamari whichever you prefer, you can't go wrong either way. And Double it. Just trust me. They also have the spinning dessert wheel, again you can't go wrong with anything in there, my personal favorite is the chocolate strawberries, they are seasonal and not always avail. When I was a kid I used to sneak in there and grab one or two. My father always ended up paying for them, and Sharky always egged me on. Fun memories. After all these years I'm glad I got to go back and experience Vincent's another time as an adult with a dear friend of mine.

Even if we wouldn't have gotten a window table and it wasn't Christmas, the vibes and interior of this place would have still been great. We went in December night of 2024 so some aspects of the menu have changed however, most of the dishes still appear to be on their menu as of now, June 2026. It appears most changes comes to the type of pasta used in a dish, aspects around a dishes main focus and gelato/dessert flavors. Everything we ordered was an 8 or above out of 10. The beet salad (BARBABIETOLE) is easily 10/10 and a top 3 salad we have ever had. The chocolate cake with gelato (TORTINO DI CIOCCOLATO) was 10/10 and the best dessert we had at Da Andrea. We ordered 3 total, including the ricotta cheesecake and tiramisu. Tuna Tartare, gorgonzola pasta and bolognese are 9's. The fritto misto, the other pasta we ordered and the other 2 desserts are 8's. If you're in New York make reservations and go. My Wife found this place and made reservations. Only thing I regret after looking at additional photos is not ordering the grilled pork chop.

I only had a late lunch because I wasn't super hungry, but what I had was pretty tasty. Honestly, I was inspired to write this review for the salad lol. The INSALATA VERDE, was freaking incredible. UGH. So fresh and the flavors were perfect. I also got a pasta, CAVATELLI ALLO SCOGLIO, but sadly wasn't that into it. All of the flavors were good, I just think it didn't come together in a way that my taste buds enjoyed lol. But I can't say it was nasty, just not my vibe. Overall was a great visit, and a great location for a cute lunch in the city, especially if you're near the highline! Oh! And I can't forget the cute little welcome wine that they have in the elevator. It's only on the second floor, but it was a nice experience.

The salad had a unique, slightly bitter flavor that was unexpected but surprisingly delicious and well-balanced. My steak was the only disappointment. I ordered it medium, but it was cooked well done. Despite that, the quality of the food and overall experience were still very good. I didn't get a chance to try dessert, but the dessert menu looked incredible and definitely gave me a reason to come back. Overall, I enjoyed my meal and will definitely be returning.

    Chic restaurant with open kitchen and a small upstairs private dining room. The restaurant felt…read moreromantic but also has several families and friend groups. The pasta was al dente perfection and most importantly there were generous sauce portions. Our waiter was attentive, friendly, and personable. I dined with a friend and we ordered 3 pastas instead of an appetizer (fantastic choice). We tried the following dishes: *Garganelli Mushroom Ragu and Ricotta Salata. This was by far our favorite dish. It was bursting with flavor, had tons of sauce and cheese and was perfectly cooked. If you enjoy mushroom you MUST order this!! *Tagliatelle Bolognese Bianco (Chicken, Veal, Pork) and Parmigiano. Which was so delicious and has plenty of meat and sauce. The tagliatelle was amazing and tasted to fresh. *Bucatini with Pancetta, Tomato, Chilies and Pecorino. We thought this was good but our least favorite dish of the 3. Honorable mention to the spaghetti that my friend had at her last visit. She said it was fresh and delicious but almost too rich which she mostly owned to it being a white sauce.

We started with the housemade focaccia and Wagyu carpaccio--both were outstanding, with the perfect balance of crispy, flavorful, and fresh elements. My partner and I shared the pasta, hangar steak, and potatoes, which turned out to be the ideal amount for two. We finished with the famous olive oil cake, which we loved for its subtly sweet, moist and tender bite. Served with lightly whipped cream and raisins, the combination was surprisingly delicious. We were also touched by the complimentary anniversary scoop of ice cream. The interior seating is a bit snug, but the decor is beautiful--elegant yet homey. The service was good as well. Overall, we highly recommend L'Artusi for a special night out!

Water and excellent bread arrived immediately and the waiter was helpful describing dishes and giving advice. Salads were fresh and crisp. Caesar was nicely dressed and the mixed salad was a nice combination with well balanced herb vinaigrette. Seafood dishes had large amounts of fresh seafood and the veal picatta had the lemony flavor you expect without excessive acidity. Dessert was tasty and innovative. The ricotta based cheese cake wasn't as smooth as the cream cheese form but the citrus flavor was great.

I read the reviews mostly good so I was hoping for the best. My friends and I were not disappointed. The first thing I noticed was there were 7 people in my party and 4 arrived early and did not have to wait for my arrival to be seated. Second the waiter who took our order was polite and on point with specials and knowledge of the menu. He (just never caught his name) suggested the Rigatoni which chicken and sausage. I am not really a pasta eater but baby that dish could change that; it was DELICIOUS. I even liked the anchovy dressing on my Caesar Salad and I dislike anchovies. All the dishes ordered (chicken parm, mussels chicken paillard etc.) everyone enjoyed them immensely. The only negative was when the Chicken Paiikard arrived it was supposed to a shared dish by the elderly couple and they asked for regular dinner plates from one of the servers. It took the gentleman who took our order to step in and said sure, lucky their food was still hot. Common Sense is not so common for all. But this will not lower my rating as it was taken care of swiftly. The portions were the perfect size and I was not stuffed but pleasantly satified. We told them the time of our show, food was out quickly, nicely presented, still hot and very tasty. The restaurant was not noisy and had space between the tables. It also had an elevator for those who could not manage stairs. Trattoria Trecolori you will be added to my must go again list! Thank for a wonderful experience!
