We were seated right away with a large party, which was a great start. Our server was super nice and did a good job staying attentive, especially considering how big our group was. I ordered spaghetti with marinara and a side salad. I specifically asked for no cucumbers, but the salad still came out with them. It's one vegetable I absolutely hate, but I didn't send it back, just wish a little more attention had been paid to that request. The pasta itself wasn't very good. The marinara barely coated the noodles and didn't have much flavor, so I ended up asking for a side of Alfredo just to make it better. Overall, maybe I just ordered the wrong thing, but the food didn't impress me. The highlight of the experience was definitely the server handling such a large group so well. read more

This is my first time here, and it was with my partner and his company for their holiday outing. The staff did a great job of taking care of us, although we were a party of about 25 people, spread out in the small tables of their back room. The lemon drop martini was great, a little on the south side, which I don't mind. The Caesar salad was a good starter, as were a few appetizers (not pictured) that we started our meal with. I wish I remember the name of my pasta dish, but I don't see it on the full menu. We had a limited menu for the company party, but this was a cavatappi pasta with a white sauce, and I added shrimp to the dish. It was excellent! I also got to try The chicken Parmesan, lasagna, and a few other dishes. All were great for the price point. Overall, I would definitely recommend this spot for a casual date night, or a group event of any kind! read more

Fantastic Italian food! We started the evening with warm bread that tasted like it had just come out of the oven. I ordered the chicken parmesan, and it was one of the best I've ever had--perfectly prepared and full of flavor. My wife had the pasta primavera and loved it. The outstanding service made the experience even better and truly topped off a great evening. We will definitely be back! read more

So me and my wife paid to have my sons wedding reception dinner at vincenzos a group of 37 people the service was acceptional the 2 girl servers we had were super fast very polite and friendly, The food was good accept for my wife's meatless lasagna was to spicy to even eat for her nowhere in the menu did it say it was spicy and my mother in laws lasagna was crazy spicy so some enjoyed their apps,dinner and desserts the fact my wife couldn't enjoy her lasagna really annoyed me it was the one thing she really likes at least she enjoyed her fettucine, I mean paying $1200 for a massive group you would think they would try not to mess up dishes, so some got to enjoy the food they ordered my mother in law was only able to take one bite of her lasagna it was to spicy for her so it was a ok dinner. read more

Wouldn't be served because the server was friends with someone who had assaulted my daughter. We had to leave verses someone else taking care of our table. Very unprofessional. Didn't know the friend of the assaultant worked there. Pleased to know how they run their business. Will let everyone i know, know how they allow their staff to conduct themselves. read more

We went for Mother's Day. They were out of many alcohols for many of their specialty drinks. Was never offered a remediation. Service was incredibly slow. We asked for water refills and didn't get them and had to ask another employee. They charged drinks incorrectly and when we pointed it out it was not corrected. We were told there was only one button for both those drinks. So I assume they charge everyone the alcohol price for the non alcoholic version. We will not be coming back. Would avoid going there. Would give 0 stars read more

Figured they would be busy because of Mother's Day. Take out seemed like a good compromise, I've always had good luck with the quality of their to-go service. Was just told over the phone that they are too busy and not doing take out. This will definitely influence my decision to go there in the future. read more

Very warm and friendly service with an old-world Italian atmosphere. Leann was our server and she was fantastic. Great personality and we enjoyed the dialogue. No vermouth this night, so we opted for a bottle of chianti classico. We began with the brushetta. Delicious bread with a slice of roma tomato with melted cheese. The cheese they use is not mozzarella, but their mix of a few cheeses (has sort of a predominate American cheese flavor). My wife had the pesto tortillini, which she loved. I sampled and agreed. I had the Salmon Vincenzo's which came with a Ceasar salad. The salmon was a perfect medium and delicious. I did not care for the crabmeat stuffing and I don't think the stuffing cared for me later that night. Next visit I would have just the plain salmon. The highlight of the evening was dessert and the Limoncello cake - simply delicious and we highly recommend. read more

Unbelievably bad service. I've been coming here for 25 years between Omaha and Lincoln. After this, it will be a LONG time before I consider coming back. read more

We don't live in Lincoln, but get there once a month (give or take). We do go to the Hay Market area when there. You can find other reviews of places we have visited. We had been next door at the Mill several times and commented on how we needed to try the place next door. We did and have been back twice more in the past 6-8 months. Understand that he building is old, for Lincoln, brick walls and wood floors. During the summer there is a small patio for eating outside. We have tried a couple of their dishes and each have settled on favorites. Mine is the Lasagna. The staff has always been open and helpful and service is above average. The atmosphere and staff both set a friendly and positive place to go. I really enjoy the Lasagna not just the flavor but portions are generous for me. I notice the texture of this dish, something I don't normally see. Another favorite is there is the bread. Yes, some is part of the dinner, but we always order the bread with oil. We have commented that we might just order the bread on days not hungry enough for dinner. There are numerous wines available, but we have generally gone with the house wine. Very much recommend this place. read more

This place is always good, food is solid. Need to step up their wine glass game, but pretty typical for Italian joints. Angel hair pasta, blackened salmon, & chicken franco, all excellent! read more

Vincenzo's Ristorante - Desert - Italian Near Me - Lincoln, Nebraska

A Lively Spot for Husker Game Days Our recent visit to Vincenzo's Ristorante was on a Husker game day, so the atmosphere was especially energetic and fun. The restaurant was packed with people celebrating the game, taking in the excitement of a big Husker Volleyball and Football weekend.. To start, we shared an order of crispy calamari - a nice light appetizer before our entrees. I opted for the trifecta: chicken parmesan, lasagna, and fettuccine alfredo. Getting to sample three classic Italian dishes was a treat! My daughter ordered the tortellini with pesto cream sauce. The portions were modest, allowing us to enjoy a little bit of everything. The quality of the food was very good across the board. The chicken parm had a nice crispy breaded exterior while the pasta dishes were rich and flavorful. The pesto cream sauce on the tortellini was a standout with its fresh herb flavor. Our server did a respectable job considering Vincenzo's was likely short staffed on such a busy game day. While the service wasn't exceptional, our waiter was pleasant and able to meet our needs. I'd say the service landed somewhere in the fair to good range. The energy and excitement of celebrating Game Day at a local Lincoln favorite like Vincenzo's is part of what makes this restaurant a go-to spot. With classics like chicken parm, lasagna, and calamari fritte, it's the perfect place for Italian comfort food before or after cheering on the Huskers! read more

We ate dinner at Vincenzo's recently on the last night of a 3-day stay in Lincoln. It had been close to 100 degrees every day we were there, the house we were thinking of buying turned out to have a fatal flaw, and none of our restaurant meals had been anything beyond "okay." To top things off, I didn't feel like Italian food that evening! But just the bread and salad tasted fabulous, and along with the ice water, made me feel a lot better! And then the throw-caution-to-the-wind stuffed manicotti I ordered was simply over the top in deliciousness! We finished off the caloric extravaganza by splitting a delish creme brûlée. The food, service, and ambience were each 5-star items! This dinner really ended our short vacay on a high note! read more

We truly had the worst experience I have had at a restaurant in over a year. We made a reservation for 13 for a birthday and initially were very excited as we have heard great things and our birthday girls favorite food is Italian. We were sat immediately and that was the only good thing about the entire experience, we each ordered drinks and took over 20 minutes to get our drinks, we then had to ask our server finally if we could put in a order for food as it was 6:46 already and our reservation was made at 6. We finally ordered and then again started the long wait for our salad and bread. We politely informed the server that we had plans at 7:50 and would like to be out before then as we had made reservations at 6 and our food did not come until 7:50. We then immediately asked for checks and boxes. During the entire wait our waters were never filled, there was no apology for the wait or updating on how the food was coming along, was never asked if the appetizers or drinks were good, literally nothing. On top of that when finally served our dinner, with an attitude of course, we were never once asked how our food was, if everything was correct or if we could get anything else. To top it all off we asked for boxes like mentioned and they were never brought I had to grab them myself and ask the bar to refill my water. The served the automatically added her 20% tip and her service was a 10% tip at best. Absolutely disgusted by the service and lack of care or attention. We will never return and quite frankly you guys didn't deserve our business to begin with. read more

I'm not pointing any fingers, but the only way this place is staying open is if it's a money laundering front. I don't know if I've ever had a worse meal in my life. Once the bruschetta came out with whole tomatoes I knew it was all downhill from there. All of the salads were a soppy combination of iceberg lettuce and cheese, and all 3 of our pasta dishes were lackluster. I'm not kidding when I say I could have made a better pizza frying a frozen Hot Pocket on a Weber grill. You know it's bad when the best part of the meal is unanimously the free bread. Prices were fine for how much food we ordered, but I would've been better donating the money to charity. They don't take reservations and now we know why. read more

Phenomenal old school Italian food, reminds me of my great Aunt's cooking. We have loved this place for years, but recently they added Door Dash which is so much easier for my disabled husband. He is a fan of the eggplant parmigiana, and the chicken soto is my go to. The portions are very generous, which makes a great lunch for the next day. Highly recommend for dine in or take out, as well as Door Dash delivery. read more

It seems like they use A LOT of store bought "Italian Seasoning" in everything. Food felt like something I would make in my dorm toaster oven. Service was sweet, but slowwwwww. Our table went long stretches with empty wine and water glasses. Edible, but gross food. read more

We loved it! The sugo and the Italian sausage were both excellent. Delicious salad (and I'm not usually a salad guy). My personal favorite though was the raspberry sorbetto. I would go back just for that! The ambiance and service were both great. Comfortable and relaxing but nice enough for a romantic date night. Highly recommend! read more

This is one of my favorite restaurants, EVER!! The chicken marsala is what I order and it never fails.

Us 3, Nancy, B, and myself enjoying dinner now. Has been several years since we last here. We all had really nice foods. Well seasoned, presented, very tasty. Some of best I've had. And seems lots better than any previous times here. But even those were apparently very good also. read more

Overall really good food and I would recommend that you give me a try went to town. The bread was wonderful and warm the staff was very friendly and accommodating. For me I was pleasantly surprised with the overall quality of the seafood that was in my dish as it contains shrimp and scallops, which the shrimp was not soggy and perfectly cooked in my opinion. For me the only thing keeping it from five stars really was that I think they used a little too much cheese which dampen the flavor of an overall very good dish. Again this is just my opinion whereas I find myself being somewhat of a purist and heavily addicted to great Italian food . I would recommend that you go in and decide for yourself but again I do recommend them as it has a very relaxing feeling when inside and the staff do a great job. read more

Average Italian food at best, very Olive Garden experience and I am not a fan of Olive Garden. When I first moved to the area I loved this place but Unfortunately just seems blah these days. On a positive note the calamari and Pasta diablo is pretty good. read more

Cool looking restaurant outside and in. The hostess was rude and snippy. So not a great start to a meal. It almost seemed like she upset at having to seat a customer. I don't get it, but oh well. So before I get to the food, if you're the kind of person who wants good customer service then this place is definitely not for you. My waiter, Sam, was very personable and knowledgeable of the menu. But the hostess kind of influenced my entire experience. Now, on to the food! I started off with the arancini and it was excellent. I had never tried it before and, I must say, I was pleasantly surprised. Crispy on the outside and meaty cheese on the inside. The marinara dipping sauce went well with it. My main course was lasagna and it was solid. They used a generous portion of sausage in the layers and it hit the spot. All in all, the food was good and my waiter was good. The hostess is rude and useless. read more

Cool old atmosphere. Elected to sit outside but service a little slow because we were the only ones outside? Server was nice though. Had crab stuffed mushroom caps. Was ok. Too much cheese on top of the entire dish. Should have been only on the caps. Dish got real oily and overwhelming from the cheese. Crab was questionable. Would not order again. Prawns and pasta dish was good but arrived on the cool temperature side. Sausage & peppers with pasta. Overall tasty but arrived cool. Could have arrived hotter. read more

Had the garlic chicken and spinach flatbread which was beyond expectations. We had quite a few items during our visit . From chicken parm to lasagna to saige and meatball and everything was perfect.

Sophia Patrillo would approve of this place. If you are looking for delicious authentic Italian food at reasonable prices, this is your place. Don't even bother with Olive Garden.

This is one of our favorite places and can't be beat read more

I visit Vincenzo's five or six times a year. Yesterday was the second time I've been disappointed. Service is always good. Enjoy wine on Sundays. The menu is good but the Alfredo is literally tasteless. It doesn't taste bad, it simply has no taste at all. So, the two times I've been disappointed were both times that I've had Vincenzo's Fettuccine Alfredo. Pick something else from the menu. read more

Vincenzo's Ristorante - ate it all - Italian Near Me - Lincoln, Nebraska

Vincenzo's is a family favorite, and we love to gather here in the winter before Husker basketball games. Their menu is full of Italian classics that are delicious and hearty. We've also brought our small children here and felt welcome, which can't be said of every nice place in Lincoln. When we are all here we love sharing a pitcher of the house chianti. I am no wine expert, but enjoy how it pairs with the anchovies I always get on my Caesar salad. On our most recent visit I had the lasagna special, which included Italian sausage and pepperoni. As I was planning a long run the next morning, it hit the spot! Our kids shared a thin crust pizza, which is done St Louis style (thin crust win provel cheese). I don't know if another place in town that does such a good St Louis style pizza! Check it out. read more

Usually this restaurant is not open on Saturday afternoon but today there are graduation parties across the city. I went with my usual Chicken Parmigian with spaghetti and the house salad. This site is older and has character with regards to the wall hangings and the walk through from the outside. The house salad wasn't spectacular but the Chicken Parmigian was excellent, just the right amount of sauce and topped with cheese that didn't smother the spaghetti. Service overall was good and the check was accurate. I will be returning back soon. read more

Monday, sunny day. The restaurant is beautifully lit by the sun. When I went in, it immediately became clear that the restaurant is very old. But in the sunshine, he looked very clean and comfortable. The waiters are nice, they bring food quickly. Italians and those who lived and ate in Italy, you can't go here :-) If you want to eat, then this is definitely not here. The guys tried to cook Italian dishes, the products were fresh and good. But they don't know how to cook Italian dishes. Alas! Come to this place for the atmosphere, in this regard you will get what you want. Sit by the window! 5 stars for interior, work of stuff 3 for kitchen Total 3 :-)) Because I'm coming to restaurants for FOOD. read more

I came into here for the first time last night and it was a great experience. It was a busier night but we were sat quickly. The waiter Cole was great he was very personable and was able to deal with my high maintenance mother nicely. He was quick with refilling our drinks whenever needed and the food came out hot. I ordered the Lombardi and the Chicken Soto, they were both delicious. I will always come back here every time I visit Lincoln. I loved the old time feel of the restaurant as well the old pictures and building set the feel for the evening. read more

Great service, friendly and clean. Food was delicious. One of the better Italian restaurants in Lincoln.
