Shrimp scampi and green beans
Kathi W.

First time. I chose carry out for this visit. Small intimate dining room. Friendly service. I ordered the shrimp scampi and French green beans. Side salad. Everything was delicious. I could've used a little more lemon and garlic on the pasta, but that was an easy fix once I got home. The green beans were cooked perfectly. I'll try other menu items in the future, but I think this will be my go-to if I can't decide.

Lobster Ravioli
Robyn S.

I liked the food. The sauce on top he ravioli was very creamy. The filling was tasty the pasta part was a little hard for me. But an awesome dish nonetheless. The meatball sandwich was called very delicious and filling. I wish they had more choices of salad dressing but what I tasted was good. The cheese bread was a snack I would eat several times. If you like Italian food. I would give them a try. #RobynwithaY#Heyyougotravel

Fried Canneloni with Marinara
Chris C.

This was a neat little find on my trip! It sounded good from the reviews, so I decided to give it a try while in town. I was greeted by a worker on her way to her shift as I walked inside, so I knew the service was going to be great and it was. The place was a little loud at times but everyone was enjoying themselves and having a good time. Got my drink immediately after ordering, and it paired very well with the entire meal. Started with the fried Canneloni appetizer which was super fantastic as I'm sure several others I wanted to try were as well. The entree came with a salad, and I chose the Lulu which comes with a Cabernet vinaigrette, and it has all the flavors! I chose the Shrimp Limone as my entree, and while I enjoyed it, I personally wish it had a bit more flavor. I ordered a second glass of wine and sat and enjoyed the atmosphere for a little while before heading to the next part of my evening. Vincenzo's has great food and great service, and if you like Italian, you should definitely enjoy an evening dining here!

Outdoor patio
Darla E.

I wanted to support one of the local restaurants and due to so many places closing early for COVID hours, I ended up at Vincenzo's. I've driven past this restaurant for years, sad to say, and never given them a try. I could kick myself for not checking them out sooner. My friend and I started off with the stuffed mushrooms, which are full of spicy Italian sausage and cheese. They were delicious and would pair well with a salad if you're wanting to eat a little something tasty but not overeat. We then moved on to a Caesar salad and our entrees of manicotti and cannelloni pastas. Both were perfectly cooked and seasoned just right. We finished with tiramisu and sat around talking and enjoying the outdoor patio and the breeze. Our waitress Treniece really made the experience enjoyable and we talked just a bit with other diners as we took in the sunset. I will definitely be back to try more of the menu and continue to dine in the outdoor space so long as the weather permits.

Nice bar, good service.

It was my birthday and for 60+ years, my traditional b-day dinner has been rigatoni. My in-laws suggested Charlie Gitto's and it was fantastic. So, this year, we were again passing through St Louis on my birthday and I wanted to go back. I was hoping that it was as good as I remembered. I feared that I would be disappointed but I wasn't. It was as great as I remembered. I had their rigatoni with sausage, my wife had baked spaghetti with meatballs, my BIL had lasagna and my SIL had salmon. I also added a classic Ceasar salad. All of our entrees were excellent. The service is superb and definitely deserves a 5-star rating. Our waiter was excellent - he said he's been doing this for 18 years and was one of the best, most professional waiters I've ever met. Anthony, the manager, deserves special thanks for resolving an issue with where we were being seated. He was also the epitome of professionalism.

Although claiming to have invented the toasted ravs, really did not enjoy them. Caprese salad was good for this time of year- early June. My go to meal to rate Italian restaurants is chicken Marsala, and was unfortunately the worst. Chicken was overcooked, rather tasteless and hard to cut. Very little sauce, but good mushrooms. Side of red pasta helped but was too sweet.

It's a big restaurant with lots of seating and an extensive menu. The service was friendly and attentive. For an appetizer we chose toasted ravioli and they were some of the best I have had. Flavorful filling, crispy exterior, and plenty of Parmesan cheese. We all really enjoyed these. The complimentary bread with olive oil was also nice while we waited. Not a ton of places still have this. I also liked that the olive oil was seasoned which gave it a nice kick. For entrees we ordered two lasagnas, salmon pasta and a frisco burger. All were good but the lasagna was the standout. A little spicy and very filling. The salmon could have used a little extra salt but I loved the grilled flavor. Since it was my birthday they gave me a complimentary mini cannoli. It was so cute and very tasty! If I wasn't so full I would have loved a full sized one. If we go back again I would try a pizza and Palmer's style chicken. Both looked really good!

It is one of those places you walk into, settle in, and truly take your time, wine, dine, and enjoy the full experience. Executive Chef Nick P clearly knows what he is doing.

The menu feels thoughtful and intentional, simple in execution but elevated by incredibly fresh, seasonal ingredients, with flavors that build perfectly from one bite to the next. You can taste the care in everything, from the house made pasta to the sauces, proteins, and vegetables, all perfectly cooked and balanced. What also sets this place apart, though, is the people. The staff and servers are genuinely excited about the food, knowledgeable about the ingredients and wine, and add to the overall experience. It is the kind of place you leave already thinking about when you can come back.

This time, we arrived at 6:30pm on a Friday night and were sat at a table in the main thoroughfare. The ambiance was poor and it was so loud that we needed to shout to be heard. We ordered the caramelized cauliflower appetizer which was drowning in cream sauce and so smothered in cheese that it no longer looked like a vegetable. It was too rich for us. They were considerate to give us plates to split the scampi style shrimp, which was well cooked. However, the grilled beef tenderloin and potatoes were very lackluster. We'd asked for medium rare and the kitchen must have been rushing as it was still raw in the middle. We tried to get the server's attention, but they were very busy and we gave up. A particularly strange and rude interaction from our server when collecting the check left a bad taste in our mouths. I was glad to see their popularity but disappointed at how it decreased the quality of our experience. Unfortunately, we had an unpleasant time overall. If you are planning to go, I recommend choosing a less busy time for a better experience.

We started with the toasted ravioli, and it may have been the best I've ever had. Crispy, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. Our party of four was thrilled with every entrée. I ordered a veal dish with a side of pasta, and it was absolutely outstanding. Everyone else ordered pasta dishes, and there was plenty of "oohing" and "ahhing" at the table with every bite. The portions are huge, so we're all looking forward to enjoying the leftovers. Service was friendly from start to finish. Our server was warm and attentive, although things moved a little slower than expected, and it took a while for our entrées to arrive. That said, once the food hit the table, it was clear the wait was worth it. The restaurant has a wonderful history and old-school charm, though the dining room could probably use a little refreshing. We also stopped at the bar before dinner, and unfortunately that was the biggest letdown of the evening. The presentation and flavor of our cocktails were surprisingly disappointing--they looked and tasted more like drinks from a budget hotel bar than from one of The Hill's iconic restaurants. Thankfully, the incredible meal more than made up for the cocktails. With so many outstanding Italian restaurants on The Hill, we've been fortunate to try many of them, and Cunetto House of Pasta has firmly earned a spot in our personal Top 3. We'll definitely be back.
