“ A Night Full of Flavor and Heart Dinner at Vincent’s 1904 with my husband and my stepdaughter’s boyfriend was a reminder that good food brings people closer. The sauce was rich, the seafood fresh, and the energy? Pure NYC charm. Sometimes, all you need is a cozy table, great company, and a meal made with love to feel recharged. Grateful for nights like these — full of laughter, stories, and seriously delicious bites. ”
“ I've been eating Vincents fried calamari, shrimp and/or scungili with linguini topped with Vincents hot gravy ever since I was 10 years old. I'm 63 years old now. My dad would stop by Vincents on his way home and order it all to go. Dad was a foodie. He taught me to be a foodie too. Vincents is at the top of my favorite New York eats. Vincents is New York, and Little Italy. No other restaurant compares to these classic unique dishes. Vincents gravy is the most unique I've ever had and imo, the best. I'm thankful that they are still around so i can satisfy my cravings. The gravy is still the same. Thank you for not changing it. A loyal die hard thankful forever customer. ”
“ The food is top notch, always. I highly recommend getting your favorite pasta in their famous sauce. And also, buy a jar or 2 of their sauce on the way out. The shrimp balls are huge and flavorful. The fried shrimp are perfectly lightly battered and delicious. We love ordering their "biscuits and gravy" always. This was our first time coming here with kids (three 6 year olds) and we got the pizza. It was delicious. ”
“ Really great place, we went for desserts and drinks. The service was great. It was nice and quiet when we went. Surprised no one was there. My butter knife was dirty but things happen, it’s okay. Just keep an eye out for things like that. ”
