If I can I would give it a negative. 1. When you just enter the restaurant, you can smell something like sewage. Later I noticed the floor next to restroom was dirty too. It was the worst smell I ever had in a restaurant. 2. Pay attention to the menu. They charge you 1.65 just for an empty plate. 3. Ordered 1 gallon sauce to go in smaller containers. Instead they charge me 4 quarter price instead of a gallon price, which is 10 dollars more. If they think their math is better, at least they're not smart enough to keep their customers. read more

I have been to both locations now. Both are very good, but the one in Rancho Cucamonga surpasses the one in Ontario. Ontario actually rates four stars for the food and service. Rancho Cucamonga earns five stars for food and service. The food was hotter when served and better seasoned. The staff was friendlier and seemed happier to work there. JMO, but IKWIL! I will go to either depending on convenience. MANGA read more

Always great! Full-size is certainly "FULL-SIZE", the dinner is fantastic, salad always crisp, ranch dressing super tasty and the bread is wonderful. The meatballs are a good size and also a great side dish. read more

I had heard of Vince's Spaghetti years ago and decided to try it for lunch. I should have know by the lack of people that it wasn't very good. I did order a glass of wine and it's wasn't served in a wine glass which I did not like...we ordered spaghetti and meat balls and a meatball sandwich with a salad. The sauce looked brown as if it had been cooked once too many times. The salad was just lettuce with the dressing nothing special not even croutons, olives or cheese! And the sandwich was on the small side. I wasn't impressed with this establishment at all. And to top it off it gave us stomach problems a few hours later. So NO I will not be visiting again. Sorry Vince's Spaghetti read more

Drove out to eat at Vince's just cause I'm a foodie and I have to try it. Vince's is what it is and I love that about the place. Established in 1945, the food and seasoning is of that era. Their lasagna tastes like my mom's lasagna. Is that a good thing? Eh, not really. Their salad is lettuce with dressing and if you let them add cheese, it is covered in a MOUND of cheese god love 'em. The vegetable soup though was really good! The building and layout is reminiscent of a cafeteria and being a fan of old cafeterias, I was into the decor so much. The servers don't carry trays but roll your food out on carts. How can you not love the kitsch of that?! . My server Julie was super nice and attentive. I think she was sad I didn't clean my plate but oh well. Will I go back? Probably not since it's a drive for me. I've done it so I can check it off the list. In its heyday, this place must've been the spot coupled with the ice-skating rink across the street. I can just imagine what the scene was like back in the 50s. Must've been pretty cool. Glad there's still places like this in California. read more

Great value. The food will fill you up. Order ahead half serving if you want to eat it all but fill super full and order a full serving if you want to fill super full and still have enough to take home and fill full there too. I recommend the garlic bread over the cheese bread. The cheese bread was a bit strong. Also careful using the table parm. Try your spaghetti without it first and then sprinkle a little at a time if you wanna try some. It too is very stanky. Definitely leave room for dessert when you go, all their cakes are delicious. read more

The mostaccioli was good. The meatballs are old and do not taste good. The color is like black. I do not recommend them and the manager when explained about the dark meatballs, she didn't handle it very well. She should've been more professional. We're not friends or customers. read more

An institution that i've been coming to since I was in middle school. Always opted for the spaghetti or "lasagna" but this time wanted to try the sub sandwich. Get it and you won't be disappointed! Great garlic bread roll for an extra fee makes it super delicious. Servings are so big you'll have food for days. read more

What hasn't been said about Vince's. I've been coming to the Ontario location since I was about 8 years old. After we played hockey across the street at the Ontario Ice Rink. The location has been here for years and is the original location. Parking is tight and enough for about 80+ vehicles. Handicap stalls are about two maybe three. No steps but a good slight incline down towards the front door. Wait room inside for about 10 (Mostly waiting for take out and outside for about 20-25) As you wait for a table you can smell the food and it smells so goood !!! When your inside your always greeted by a friendly maître d'. There are four rooms and they have a banquet room too. (Reservations are required) The front area are booths (About 10-12). The middle room are mixed with booths (About 7-8) and tables for About (10-12). The back room are for the largest parties mostly with small children ( Approximately 20-25 tables and chairs and (5-7 booths) That's what it seemed like the one and only we were back there. We useably sit in the front locations because the noise level can get elevated at times. A lot of pasta !! The kitchen is always busy and the servers are fast to keep up with the flow. Food hardly ever sits in the window before it swooped up and taken to your table HOT VERY HOT !!! Spaghetti is there specialty but they do have a host of other great food items to try. They also have what's called a "Full" order and "Half" order. Don't let the half order fool you. ITS A LLLOOOOTTT of food on the half plate of spaghetti with meat sauce. Meatballs are very tasty and HOT !! I usually get the half order spaghetti with meat sauce and one or two meatballs. Cheese or Garlic bread and a very nice plain salad with your choice of dressing and a drink.... Abbondanza I think that's how it's said lololol Here are the numbers, in my humble option, for Vince's Spaghetti. Location: 8 for 10 Food: 10 for 10 Service 10 for 10 Return 10 for 10 DEFINITELY !! No pictures this time but will go back for some pics.. Until Nest Time, Stanley. read more

Vince's Spaghetti has been my family restaurant for decades and I still love coming here. The food is always consistently good, great prices, and great staff. You have to love a family run business that has had the same employees for years. It really is amazing to see the same employees here over so many years. I always order the half dinner with meat sauce, garlic bread, and ranch dressing on my salad. Let me tell you, this is homemade ranch dressing and they aren't shy about adding the dressing. If you don't like your salad swimming, ask for dressing on the side. I love it! Your meal also comes with a soup that I have bought by the gallon. Very tasty and I can remember my son when he was young always looking for the big carrot in his soup (only happened one time, but he was excited to find a large piece of carrot). Their bread is made fresh and always hot so make sure to enjoy that right away with your meal. The spaghetti is always great and for me almost always too much. I know I said I get a half order because the full order is massive! Great to get if you want leftovers because no one is eating all of it. My wife and daughter have always got the tomato sauce spaghetti and enjoyed it but I can't really speak for how good that is. But I can tell you my picky daughter always loves when we bring it home. To add to our meal we will get a carafe of their house wine and it really helps with the enjoyment of the night. Lastly we order a bowl of cheese on the side to spread on our spaghetti, salad, and soup. You can order cheese on your spaghetti but it is a lot, so we have got it on the side and used it for other dishes. Highly recommend this option! read more

My fiancé had been talking about Vince's for quite a while and finally we got the opportunity to head out to Ontario to check it out. What a wonderful find! You are transported back to a wonderful family style Italian restaurant with great staff and a pretty simple menu. The portion sizes are massive! I have the half order of spaghetti with meat sauce and a salad. If you LOVE cheese- have them add it. The house salad was a cheese fest of shredded provolone and the cheese mountain continued on the pasta. The prices were fantastic and I can't wait to head back there! read more

I've been here a couple of times, and the service has been hit or miss. The atmosphere looks like a basement. The spaghetti is good which is why people still come. If you're a vegetarian, do you have to tell them that you want the vegetarian sauce and not ask for the tomato sauce. I learned the hard way when I got my tomato sauce, spaghetti, and found a little chunks of meat mixed in. The vegetable soup is made with beef broth, my none vegetarian friend said it had nice flavor. I do wish they had an option for soup that didn't have meat. read more

Vince's Spaghetti - Freshly Grated Provolone Cheese - Italian Near Me - Ontario, California

I have been coming to this place for years! The best spaghetti in town. Highly recommend if you're looking for a family dinner place

One of the most authentic Italian restaurants I've been to. The sauce is superb, I just wish they had one closer to Riverside.

I love this place. Being coming her since I was a teenager. Now come here with my family and my kids love it. Big portions of plates. Service is great. Place is cozy. read more

Let me start by saying I don't like pasta in general. I could probably go an entire year or more without eating pasta and I would be happy...buuuuut Vince's Spaghetti is an exception. It's sooo yummy and always consistent. I get the marinara sauce spaghetti and a side of cup/bowl of provolone cheese to sprinkle on top. My husband knows if he wants pasta I will only eat Vince's! Soo yumm ! read more

5/5 not a question about it. top notch! Been coming here since I was a kid. Mom has been here since she was a kid. And now my daughter loves it. It's in our blood to love Vince's. We live in Orange County so we trek our way out to Ontario for one reason only... VINCE'S! We get the usual, full order meat sauce! Seriously the best. Soup and salad... idk how they do it simple yet INCREDIBLE! and take home whatever we don't finish and have it for days! We will always love and support this place. Like a second home! read more

Vince's Spaghetti - Daughter enjoying her Spaghetti with Meat Sauce - Italian Near Me - Ontario, California

As an Italian this isn't what I'd call "authentic" but it does the job more than other spaghetti places so I won't complain. The menu is pretty self explanatory! Whatever you pick expect BIG portions! Everything is shareable even for a fluffy person, trust me. Parking is easy and big enough for everyone. Food- 8/10 The food is flavorful! the sauce is rich and the bread buttery. The spaghetti itself is a bit overcooked like the noodles at a buffet sitting in water. So that was a turn off. But the positions are HUGE, and when you're craving to stuff your face with spaghetti this is the perfect spot. Olive Garden would NEVER! The penne pasta is cheesy galore, and salad is basic but it works. The food at times could use a generous amount of salt and a pinch of sugar like my nonna taught us but again it still hits the spot. Atmosphere- it's like walking into a scene from the Godfather. It's dark, musty, old wood everywhere and the red lined menus. The one thing I HATE and really stops me from wanting to dine is their hard freakin seats...the booths are soooooo uncomfortable. My son kept slipping because they're so narrow. Every time I wanted to eat I'd have to stop and pull my kid up. Other than that it's a vibe, it hits the spot but don't expect Nonnas cooking. read more

I had a meatball sandwich. It was decent, but nothing to write home about. My daughter ordered the lasagna, and she didn't like it. She complained that the meat sauce was not worth the extra $3 over the cost of the tomato sauce. She also needed "more pasta" inside. She considers the Olive Garden's lasagna superior. The plate was very small, even though we paid for an adult full size meal. The spaghetti was very basic. Meatball was an extra $3.25. But, given that the name of the place mentions spaghetti, we all expected much better. (Also given the fact that they don't have other favorites like ravioli or fettuccine). I'm glad we tried it, but won't be coming back. We did see a lot of senior citizens dining here, so I assume the cooking is digestion friendly(?) The menu boasts the place has been in business since 1946, and it shows!!! The decor is outdated and the restrooms were a mess! We paid $41.70 for this little experiment. They get one star because the kid's soup was good. We're not coming back for sure. read more

This place is great. I have been here twice, both time with my girlfriend and her kids. The spaghetti is superb and I always get it with meatballs and sauce on the side. The portions as well are huge. One of the staff that works there during the weekends, Omari, is a great person, especially during Covid. They are being very safe and doing take-out right now. He is extremely helpful and nice on the phone and has helped me out with some orders lately. I appreciate his accommodating me since I have a lot of anxiety about going into places :) The spaghetti meals for dinner will usually allow you to have extra for tomorrow's lunch :) You can get a salad and all-you-want-to drink as well. The salads are great and so is the garlic bread. I think this is one of the best restaurants to order take-out at right now if you enjoy Italian food. You will love it. Best wishes and stay safe all! P.S. There are two of Vince's. This one is the one on Holt, the other one is Ontario, a bit north, so make sure to get the right location! read more

Vince's is hands down the best spaghetti in the Los Angeles area. I'm not even kidding. I've been coming here since I was a kid in the 80's and nothing has changed. Same great taste and same nostalgic atmosphere. The portions are so big you're gonna have enough leftover for lunch the next day. Take the garlic and cheese bread and dip it in the sauce! Just thinking about it makes me want to go back and eat it again today. Thank you Vince's for always being the best! read more

Ive been coming here for years. I usually get my order to go and they haven't messed up and order. I definitely recommend getting a chocolate chip cheese cake. They're delicious!! The staff is nice enough to get your order right but don't expect them to be overly friendly. For a family of 6 we get two full orders of spaghetti w/ meat sauce, 3 rolls of garlic bread, 1 pint of provolone and of course a slice of chocolate chip cheese cake and spend about $65. Feeds us until we're all full. (: read more

Very disappointed. Poor service. Server informed us 40min wait for lasagna. We waited , server returned after 35 mins and told us 40 mins more. Server should have informed us from the beginning that the wait time was 1 hour and 20mins. Instead of having us wait! Very rude and disrespectful! read more

The inside was old and from a different time. It did smell a bit funky inside, maybe from the cheese? Overall Vince's spaghetti is just alright. We had the child's pasta, which came with child size pasta (could feed a regular adult), two big pieces of garlic toast, and a soup or salad. We got the veggie soup, which isn't vegetarian or vegan since it is made with beef stock. 8/10 based on my daughter's rating. I give it a 7.5 for the meal. I had the meatball sub with cheese which came with a side of pickles. The meat was juicy but overly salty. The cheese wasn't melted and there wasn't enough sauce on the sub. Honest rating a 6.5/10. The waitress was wonderful and had good customer service. Not a place I will go out of my way to try, but worth a stop if nearby. Total came out to 46 with tip, so it is a bit expensive for simple spaghetti and sauce. read more

My family has been eating here since the 1950s. It was always our go-to spot for celebration dinners. Usually great food, friendly service, and reasonable prices. However, over the past two years, everything has gone downhill in a hurry. As I said, we've been eating there for decades, but no one in my family even wants to eat there anymore. I'm not sure if they changed their supplier, but the quality of the meat in their sauce has a lot more "rubbish" in it. Little bits of rubbery tendon, etc. There is no difference between the cheese rolls and the garlic rolls, because the garlic rolls hardly have any garlic on them. The service has gotten progressively worse. If we order takeout, it's wrong almost every time, even when they read the order back to you. I sympathize... I know working in a restaurant is tedious because I've done it myself. However, acting like you would literally rather be anywhere else when dealing with an average customer is a real turnoff for people who are willing to spend their money at your establishment. I don't know if ownership changed, if they cut corners because of trying to survive through covid, or what... but everyone I know has agreed that they'll be out of business within a year or two because it's gotten exponentially worse. Sorry, Vince's. I criticize because I love. Get it together!! read more

Can't believe these establishment has been around for more than 30+ years The food is always delicious and fresh read more

Me and my family have been eating at this joint since 1978. For Italian food it's pretty good. The spaghetti sauce rivals mine and may be even be better than mine. With every meal you get soup and salad and of course their classic garlic bread, oh my!! Over the years their food has been consistently good, I recommend the spaghetti with meat balls on the side, delicious!! And don't forget you can get it all to go. read more

Food was ok. Service was outstanding. Atmosphere was nostalgic. We went here with friends for lunch on Sunday. (Sunday right when they open 12 is a great time to go). Last time I was here was in 2010. So 13 years later, I remember things a little different. Drove here from Anaheim. Spaghetti with one meatball. Large portion, meatball was huge! Loved the meatball, great tasting and texture was just right. Sauce was a little runny for me, maybe because of the noodles? But there was a puddle of water on my plate. Sauce was rich, not sweet. I thought I remembered a sweetness to it. Not at all. Still good though. Pasta was cooked al dente. Cheese bread was just that buttered bread toasted with a little bit of cheese. I was expecting garlic cheese bread? I probably should have ordered the garlic bread. Still good though. Salad was overwhelmed with dressing, I recommend asking for it on the side. I ordered thousand island. It had a strange taste to it, I couldn't put my finger on what it was. But I couldn't eat the salad. Love that you can order a bowl of grated provolone cheese. It goes great on salad, soup, and pasta. Recommend ordering one for your table to share. Soup was the best thing I had there. Very good, fresh and bits of beef and rice. Highly recommend the soup. Service was outstanding. Our waitress was so kind, and generous, she made sure our every need was met, FYI they are no longer serving lasagna due to high costs. They serve Pepsi products. read more

I have been going to Vince's Spaghetti for 27 years. My dad came here for birthdays for his whole life. His dad went on special occasions for much of his life, too. This place is truly historic, and every time I visit, I drink in the good times and positive residual energy from all the families and individuals who have made this place a staple over the decades. I now live in vegas and make the trek yearly to grab sauce and soup and bread to freeze and cook for myself on rainy days and special occasions. This trip was different than years past because I hadn't been in since pre-COVID times. I had not ever seen it that empty on a Saturday night, but even so the staff was overburdened. There just were enough people working. Even so, the staff maintained the upbeat and customer-oriented atmosphere I've come to expect. I was helped with my take-out order by Omari, who was kind and attentive. I also saw a lot of workers with colored hair and some with tattoos, which made me happy because that means Vince's is still giving jobs to average people like me. Vince's is more than just a restaurant. It's a part of the local community. It's a snapshot of the common man local to Ontario and the surrounding municipalities. It's a place where you can step into your granddad's footprints. And even now, when so much else is uncertain, it's a place where you can expect good service and food that is always up to par. read more

I love places that have been in business longer than I have been alive! Vince's Spaghetti has been around since 1945. That tells me they have been doing something right. This restaurant is the original location. So retro. The old style sign outside beckons with its lighted neon arrow and blinking incandescent light bulbs for you to turn into their ample parking lot. Their menu specialty is simple; spaghetti or mostaccioli with either tomato or meat sauce. The meat sauce is flavorful with a hint of herbs. The meat sauce is very meaty, the way I like it. They don't skimp on the ground meat. You get a choice of garlic or cheese bread to go with the pasta. I got the Vince's Dinner which includes soup and salad with a half order of spaghetti. The half order is generous but get the full order if you want leftovers for tomorrow or if you have a big appetite. I ordered the meal with a meatball which was tender and well seasoned. There is lasagna and sandwiches on the menu, too. The French Dip can be ordered with a choice of garlic or cheese bread or a French roll. The beef in the sandwich is flavorful and tender. The au jus is great for dipping or soaking the toasted bread. The restaurant is huge! It seems to be a labyrinth of dining rooms wherever you go. The interior doesn't look like it has changed much since it opened and I like that. I can envision families in the past having a nice spaghetti dinner there. There is also a take out counter in the front, which has its own menu of items, for the times you want to eat the delicious spaghetti supper at home. read more

Vince's Spaghetti - Mostaccioli with Marinara Sauce, Hand-Rolled Meatball Toasted Garlic Roll. - Italian Near Me - Ontario, California

We've been near weakly customers for the past 15 years. We always get lots of sauce, pasta and soup and spend ~80+ dollars per order. This place has lots of good memories for me and my family but our most recent experience has soured my opinion of this establishment and we are considering ending our long time loyalty. On our most recent trip my grandma went in to pick up our large to go order. In that order we had a GALLON of their soup. Now as we very regularly visit the restaurant we know that it comes with saltine crackers. However, when my grandma asked for crackers the tall middle aged man packing our order told her "they sell crackers at the store". Now I've always experienced good customer service but my grandmother said they were extremely rude to her and she came home upset at how mean the man at the counter was to her and she even said that a nice waitress looked shocked at their interaction and gave her some crackers in our bag. I'm horrified that my older Asian grandmother was treated this way at a place that I've always enjoyed. If they show discriminatory treatment to their customers it's an establish that I will be eliminating from our family restaurant rotation. read more
