This is my second favorite spaghetti place of all time love that they have a quick service one

Everything is wonderful when there's a drive-through! This place has really good food and super huge portions. Food does not taste like fast food, it taste like the Italian lady down the street cooked it for you. I Will go again and bring a friend! read more

Best family spaghetti in socal. Anytime we are in Temecula area we will be eating at Vince's. We grew up in the Chino/Montclair area going to Vince's. My grandparents & my parents all went to Vince's. We would go to the original store in Ontario and when we lived in Rancho Cucamonga we went to the Vince's there. When I worked in Covina we would go the the store in Glendora (since closed) After a really nice morning at Tom's Farms we made the drive to Temecula for an early dinner. We both got the Vince's dinner which is a half order with soup salad and choice of garlic or cheese bread. The wife gets her salad and spaghetti topped with the provolone cheese. A half order is more than most can eat. I had leftovers for three more meals! read more

Vince's Spaghetti Express - Original menu - Italian Near Me - Temecula, California

Gross overpriced food. I got lasagne and it was just floating in grease. The bread was hard and dry. Never again.

My hubby and I LOVE the meatball sub and get it whenever we're in Temecula but man is this place pricey!

This place is always my go to Italian place for spaghetti! There sauce is so good and the meat sauce is even better!! I always Recommend it!! And the cheesy bread is so bomb! The service is a little relaxed but they always are so nice and always get your refills quick. But other than that it feels almost like a home cooked meal! The place in side is a bit dim and dark but it's a very good place to have a date or meet up with friends or family. But the drive threw we have had multiple messed up orders but inside ordering is great read more

Delicious food! I've always just drove by it on Jefferson but today we gave it a shot. The meat sauce is super good and the garlic bread is nice and cheesy! The portion is also perfect for 2 people! read more

Plain and simple... 5. When we visit this area we always bring Vince's home (3 hour drive). My wife's family have been going to the original since it opened. read more

I'm surprised that I have not made a post yet as often as we have ordered in the past. We are creatures of habit and always order the complete dinner for 2 for the awesome price of $22.95. It comes with salad, bread, soup, and spaghetti. It's delicious! I first discovered Vince's Spaghetti when I worked for GE in Ontario from 1986-2001. It was great then and it continues today with the same great taste, quality, and value. We ordered it for dinner tonight and they do not disappoint! It's great that they have a convenient drive through. We love Vince's! read more

Vince's Spaghetti Express - Vince's Spaghetti Express for lunch - Italian Near Me - Temecula, California

I went in for the "dinner for two" and assumed that meant two plates for two people. I was wrong. You get one plate, and I mean just one. When I asked for an extra plate to share the food, they wanted to charge me $3.50 for an empty plate. Seriously? The salad was brown and wilted, and the soup looked like brown, oily water. I told them I'd only pay for the drink I had, but I wasn't paying for the salad and soup that had just arrived looking terrible-didn't even bother trying it. The waitress said, "I'm required to charge for everything." So, I asked to speak to the manager. He was nicer and said I could leave, but he still had to mention that the extra plate charge was on the menu--though I still can't find it, unless it's the "split charge." Either way, it was a huge disappointment. I should've known better from the start when I went to wash my hands and my shoes got stuck to the restroom floor. Had to hose them down when I got home. Honestly, I'm surprised they didn't charge me for the soap I used to wash my hands. read more

This place is the best kept secret in Temecula! I can't believe locals still don't know about it. Well, I'm here to say my opinion. I think this is best spaghetti sauce on the planet. And I have been around the planet. At least to where this meal comes from. Vinces tops the meat sauce from Italy! Vince's your the BEST!!!!!!!!!! read more

Vince's Spaghetti Express - My God! The best spaghetti sauce ever made anywhere! - Italian Near Me - Temecula, California

I loved the food, the staff, the environment and the "To Go" containers. My husbands and I went to meet up with a neighbor as he invited us to an AMAZING Networking Event that was being hosted last night. We were greeted by the owner who is a lovely & passionate lady. We instantly connected. The staff was fast and effectively ON POINT. There were no long or ridiculous wait times. You can tell it's family oriented as everyone worked together to deliver an overall great experience. It was clean & It smelled good! I will be back read more

Super fast and incredibly delicious! I loved how much sauce they put on the entrees. I also like that there are a few sizes to choose. The lunch portions were perfect. You have to try the garlic bread! read more

Food was terrible white mostaccioli with supposedly butter sauce, which if it was there, I couldn't find it and an order of mostaccioli with red sauce, in red sauce. I understand the economy I understand trying to cut corners, but what I don't understand is when you have a reputation for having decent Italian food you would serve such a bland and tasteless dish to any customer regardless, if they're drive-through or dine in. We've been to Vinces in the inland empire many times, and this is the first time I've ever experienced something to this degree sorry but we won't be ever be back and we will not recommend it to anyone else. In the scheme of things it's pretty hard to mess up such standard dishes. Maybe we were expecting to match for the money that we paid but quite honestly I could've had a frozen dinner for the same type of food at a much less price that's how plain the mail was served to us t through the drive-through. My recommendation is not worth the cost. read more

I took my son to Vince's Spaghetti about a week ago in Temecula and we both got sick. Too bad I used to go the main Vince's in years ago in Torrance with my father and had no problems. I found out about the one in Temecula and have been going frequently. After we got sick, I called them and they said that it was impossible, and the manager couldn't be reached. My family and I will never eat there again, and I have a very large family. So be careful if you eat there, we had the meat sauce. read more

First time trying this place and it was a disappointment. The spaghetti was very salty and the meatball sub was just ok. The tiramisu was delicious though! Service was quick. read more

This place seriously has the best pasta sauce I've ever tasted! I love spaghetti and Vince's sauce is crazy good. I always come here when I don't want to cook and order the family meat sauce spaghetti meal. It comes with noodles, sauce, cheese bread, minestrone soup and salad. I usually add a couple meatballs to my order which are also very yummy. Staff is always friendly and service is quick considering it's fast food spaghetti. Such a cool concept and different than your typical burger. I wish they sold the sauce in stores, it is seriously that good! read more

You raise the price by 50% yet the food, service, and quality most definitely didn't increase by 50%. Just pathetic

Decent spaghetti and meatballs also tried beef sandwich which was ok Ultra friendly staff I would come back for pasta again

We had the spaghetti and meat sauce dinner to go for two. The service here is good but the food was disappointing. The soup was all broth, the salad was plain luttuce with our "vinaigrette" on the side, mostly oil. The meat sauce was also very watery... garlic bread was burnt. read more

A client told me about this place a few days ago. I was SOLD when he told me there was a drive thru. I went through the drive thru tonight and got a half order of spaghetti with meat sauce, a full order of spaghetti, and the best cheesecake I've ever tasted for $24. And I'd say the wait was only 7ish minutes? Absolutely delicious. We will definitely be back. read more

Vince's Spaghetti Express - Full order of 1. Spaghetti with Meat Sauce And cheesecake - Italian Near Me - Temecula, California

Hello! As a Vince's customer for over 35 years, I was in Temecula this weekend and decided to go to this location with a friend to try it out. I'm going to get straight to the point. I will say, first and foremost, the food is on point with the Ontario and Rancho Cucamonga locations. It was all delicious. However, there are a couple of inconsistencies that should be addressed. First, and this is a nitpick more than anything, the iced tea is from a fountain dispenser. It's not freshly brewed on premises as you would get at the Ontario and Rancho Cucamonga locations. I did confirm this when I saw the fountain that contained it. I'm a tea drinker, so that's always what I get anywhere I go. Fresh tea is much better than pre-made fountain tea. Not sure why this location is different, but I do know each one operates slightly different than the others. Now for the ugly. I'm sorry to say that the service needs attention. A server came promptly to our table and got our beverage order, and returned with them, but after that is where the service started to decline a bit. I'm not trying to get anyone in trouble here. They just need guidance, I noticed that everyone working there appeared to be in their early twenties if not younger. When the server came to take our orders, it was a curt "What are you guys having?" I'm used to having a polite introduction first and then a polite query of what I'd like to order. She brought our food to the table, and that was the last we saw of her until she brought the check. I had noticed the other tables had the same lack of attention. It was take the order, bring the food and come back for the check. There was no check to see how the food was and no refills. I also had to ask for a to go container. Maybe I've been spoiled by the other locations, but I think the wait staff can use some training on serving their guests. Other than that, the meal was fine. Great food, but the service isn't up to standards of the other two restaurants, so I give it a 3 star average. I still would eat here again and hope that the service improves, food isn't the issue, it's top notch Vince's! read more

I ordered the dinner lasagna plate and my wife had the spaghetti plate. Menu is quite small and for pasta they only offered either spaghetti or mostaccioli. Their red sauce was only average. The lasagna had plenty of ground beef in it, but it lacked much cheese inside with the hamburger meat. Our server was OK, but not really friendly, more business like. We get much better meals at the Old Spaghetti Factory (and I'm not saying they are a top Italian restaurant, but better than this). Bottom line: We would not return to this restaurant. I recommend Joe's Italian Restaurant on Alessandro Blvd in Moreno Valley for lasagna. They make a superb lasagna served in a bubbling hot iron dish taken straight out of the oven. read more

Portions are too much. One plate can feed two people, or three small people. They should reduce their portion amount, lower the price, and customers would have room for desert. The salad ran out of dressing before the dressing ran out of salad. Who eats dry lettuce? There menu showed Cherry PEPSI soda, but they only had PEPSI and the syrup ratio was too low, making the PEPSI bitter. So I had to go with a Dr. Pepper. At least they were playing nothing but gold old 70's Rock music like "Brandy" which I really enjoyed. I don't know why they call the restaurant EXPRESS as it a typical sit down restaurant. I was going to give them 2 stars, but their lasagna is good. read more

The menu at Vince's Spaghetti Express claims that over 21 tons of spaghetti are served every month, and that over 15,000 miles of spaghetti are served every year... Holy cow! That's a lot of spaghetti! We met my wife's cousin and her family for dinner at Vince's Spaghetti Express on an early Thursday evening, a couple of years ago, and I'm just getting around to posting this review on Yelp. Dinners at Vince's Spaghetti Express include soup and salad, and our soup and salad arrives on a serving cart. The menu is posted above the kitchen, but naturally you choose from printed menus at your table. Since we were dining with extended family, and were attending to "family obligations," I didn't take many notes, and my review is not as detailed as the reviews that I normally post. The photos say more than my review does! We enjoyed our meals, as both the food and service were great. I highly recommend Vince's for fine dining in Temecula. read more

Vince's Spaghetti Express - 1. Spaghetti with Tomato - Italian Near Me - Temecula, California

We planned a nice family dinner here with a party of 10. I've been to the Vince's locations in Ontario & Rancho Cucamonga a few years back, and I've enjoyed the food there. Disclaimer: This Temecula location is not a full service restaurant so it was a surprise when we arrived that it did not look like the Ontario or Rancho Cucamonga restaurants. Nonetheless, we still wanted to enjoy a nice meal together. 1) When you walk in you really don't smell food cooking. 2) as you approach the bathrooms, you get a smell of sewer/sewage. 3) the servers were polite enough, however they didn't come back to clear the table, check on us, provide extra napkins, refill waters, etc. 4) the prices are quite high. Which is expected with inflation and what not. But this could not be justified imo. I ordered the lasagna dinner which comes with a soup, a salad and a bread which was $25. The lasagna was a very small 3 x 3" square. The salad was very underwhelming with only lettuce and a few pieces of red cabbage and carrots. The soup was really mostly liquid. This was the overall feeling from my group not just myself that the food was lacking in quality for the price. My teenage children ordered the plain spaghetti with butter. The spaghetti was boiled noodles with a dab of butter on top. That's it. Not mixed, no garlic salt, no Parmesan cheese. Nothing else. This is on the regular menu not on the kids menu. How is that even edible? Overall we all left not feeling full or satisfied. And our bill was $150 for four adult meals and two kids meals. read more

Where else can you order great pasta from a Drive thru! Same great taste as inside seating but on the go. The spaghetti with Italian sausage was surprisingly good. I was optimistic seeing a spaghetti joint with a drive they but very very surprised when I ate numerous servings. Portions are amazing, bread is amazing and window service was good and fast. read more

Our family have been Vince's customers since 1955. We usually go to the Ontario location but last night we went to the Temecula store. We were very disappointed. I do understand that Covid has impacted most restaurants and prices have risen. In this case the prices seem to have risen about 30%...not good. The quality was still there but the traditional recipe seem to have been altered too. Still good but not our nostalgic flavors. Just a bit off. read more

I used to be a regular at Vince's in Rancho Cucamonga but after visiting the one in Temecula I will never go back. I ordered a full portion spaghetti dinner with one added meatball. The meatball was about the size of a golf ball and cost $3.55! The salad was nothing ( I mean NOTHING) but some torn iceburg lettuce. The soup was okay. This miserable meal plus a small cola ended up costing me over $28.00!! Never again! read more

Super cute family oriented restaurant. Indoor and outdoor seating available. I enjoyed the Italian sausage sandwich and antipasto salad paired with a glass of Zinfandel. I'll surely be back to try the spaghetti and lasagna. Thank you Gabe. read more

What a sad time for Vince's. They have increased their prices beyond what is reasonable. My entire family has been going to various Vince's locations for 35+years. I'm afraid this will now be the end of our patronage. Two adult dinners and a meatball sandwich for a child was $77, not including tip. The sign they have posted says they raised prices due to inflation, which is understandable. But this is way overboard. Their note mentions that they cannot compete with the "fast food giants". Forget fast food, their prices are now competing with the likes of Cheesecake Factory...for spaghetti!! So sad what has happened to this place. I don't see them being around much longer. read more

Ten years ago I gave them a 5. Last night we went with friends because the spaghetti was always awesome and reasonably priced. WOW. What happened? A plate of spaghetti there now is 25 bucks. Are you kidding me? Now for 2 people with drinks is now over 75 bucks. I can have spaghetti at either Anthony's or Bellas in Murrieta for much less. Sorry guys, but you just lost a customer of over 50 years. You need to evaluate the cost of spaghetti. No wonder the place was half empty on a Friday night. read more

food was good, service was fast and friendly. The place was cozy. i liked their lunch specials, garlic bread was delicious!

Drive-thru or go inside. This place has both. The garlic cheese bread is the best and addicting. Their salad is green, crisp, and fresh, and they have one of the best ranch dressings for it. You can have vegetable soup, which is very yummy too. It can make it hard to decide which one to pick with their meal choices. I've only had their spaghetti with meat sauce, and it tastes great every time. There is an option of fresh parmesan cheese offered to go with it. This is one of those places where you want to eat at all the time. read more

I love Vince's, like LOVE. Especially the original one on Holt. But when you say you close at 8pm and I arrive at 7:57 and I'm the drive thru and you say you closed early... nope, not ok. Sorry Vince's, love ya, but nope. We went to Peltzer to ice skate and we were really looking forward to going to Vince's afterward. Not ok. read more

Honestly not bad! Enjoyed drive through spaghetti more then I expected. We had the spaghetti with tomato sauce and the mostaccioli with meat sauce. We had a side soup and salad and one garlic one and one cheese roll. It was all good - standard basic Italian fare but no complaints. Will be back to try some of the sandwiches and lasagna. read more

Ordered the lunch spaghetti half order with meat sauce. I got the salad and it was small and plain. Large chucks of iceberg lettuce and cheap blue cheese. It was editable but even croutons or crackers would add to it. The spaghetti was good and the sauce was fine. I enjoyed my meal with the garlic bread. I feel that the meal was over priced though. I had a half order spaghetti and 2 sodas with a kids spaghetti and garlic bread and our meal was $25 and the same meal at dinner is even more expensive. Will I be back- maybe if there's a promo... but otherwise it is overpriced read more
