Vincent's is a consistently excellent experience. Professional staff know their dishes and how to help you choose wisely. while they are attentive they are not annoying. They come just often enough to make the event enjoyable. The food is always very tasty and plentiful. The wine selection exceptional!

Awesome Italian place. We got the baked crab claws (a special), and the Artichoke Vincent to start, of which we enjoyed both. For entrees, we had the veal and pork chops, both were specials.
Meats were tender and well cooked. Pork chop could have used more seasoning, but had wonderful texture.
Can't wait to go back for Shrimp Alfredo!

The best meal I had in New Orleans was not at the famous restaurants in the French Quarter, but here at Vincent's. We were riding the St. Louis Streetcar and the driver said it was the best Italian meal you could get in the city, so we got off and had lunch. I had no reservations and was dressed in shorts and a t shirt (it was 93 degrees) but Giorgio the manager welcomed us in and treated us like we were part of the family. I ordered eggplant salisiccia appetizer to start with....and the red sauce was the best I've ever eaten. I recommend it highly. I had the veal chop for my entree and it was

I am in love with this restaurant. Greatest service, and the best Italian food in NOLA. First of all, Tony is incredibly friendly and seated us at the bar as we waited for our table. He gave me plenty of recommendations on where to see the Saints game. We started with bread, which was fantastic, and the butter was perfect. As an appetizer, we had the stuffed mirliton: seafood stuffed squash with a butter lemon sauce. Oh my god. I wish I could’ve ordered ten more. Order this. For our meals we had the fettuccine alfredo and the chicken parmigiana. I am not a big red sauce girl, but their red sauce

I’ve been putting off eating here for a while and finally decided to just do it! This is my new go-to place for Italian food. We arrived around 5pm on a Friday and by the time we left, it was packed. The service was A+. I started with the house salad with blue cheese vinaigrette. The vinaigrette was a tad too oily and not enough vinegary. That’s okay though because everything else was amazing! I had the cannelloni and the cheese sauce was perfection. It was a lot of food, so I ate half and saved the rest for the next day. The other guest had the lamb chops and they were tender and delicious

Excellent service, and quality of product though the service is better in the evening. The restaurant itself is small with narrow aisles and another large room to the rear of the bar, but the dining area is a carpet floor with a wine case dividing the room so noise is kept at a minimum. Ive ordered take out more than dining in, and the service is just about as equal. Never had a problem with this location in four years. Special thank you to the Chef for cooking the seafood risotto when it wasn't on the menu.
