The Vince's Italian Restaurant & Pizzeria story begins in the most fascinating of all Italian cities, Naples. Enzo (Vince) Mottola & wife Ada were both grew up in the same neighborhood in the heart of Naples. After getting married, they moved to the US, settling in Seattle's Italian neighborhood in 1954. In Italy, Vince had worked at a famous catering company, & like many Neopolitans, had a passion for the food of his hometown. In 1957 Vince & Ada opened their 1st Italian restaurant with Vince manning the kitchen & Ada the tables. Their goals were simple: provide authentic Italian meals at a price that families could afford, just like the neighborhood restaurants & pizzerias of Naples. We invite you to come in and experience the warmth, charm & delicious Italian cuisine at Vince's Italian Restaurant & Pizzeria. Happy Hour with Food and Drinks Specials 4pm-6pm & Food Specials 9pm-closing.
This is the original Vince's, open from around 40 years ago. It takes me back! The food is good Italian, medium priced with a medium-priced wine list. The service is friendly, as befitting a family-owned restaurant.

Fantastic Food and Great for Families!
by adreyer
I have been eating at Vince's for over 25 years. It is the best authentic Italian Restaurant around! It is a family owned and operated restaurant that is great for a casual dining experience! Most locations also have a banquet room that can be reserved free for large groups so it's also a great place for family parties, etc.
Pros: Excellent Food, Lots of Parking, Great for Families
Cons: Service

Love It!

I have been going to Vince's for several years now. It is definately a treat for me and by far my favorite restaurant. I have tried many things on the menu and have never been dissapointed. Its a great place to go for a great pizza or bring the whole family. They have a great to-go service and the dining-in service is very impressive. I Have traveled to Italy 4 times in the past year and although it will never be the same Vince's comes very close! Overall, I would highly reccomend Vince's!

Wish I'd gone here sooner!

I never thought much of Vince's because the storefront isn't that enticing but I'm so glad we went inside for a late dinner! Dim lighting with great music and the food came out fast and was delicious! We ordered the pesto el ravioli and pollo contadina (chicken breast on a bed of fettuccine with mushrooms, artichoke and a cream & wine sauce). The portions were a good size - it didn't leave us hungry but we also didn't gorge ourselves. We were also able to use our entertainment book coupon. We'll definitely be going there again.
Pros: parking, food, prices

great family italian restaurant
by gerl
this is a great casual italian restaurant. the atmosphere is perfectly cheesy (in a good way), the food is almost always good and the service is somewhat amusing. one waitress is a bit on the surly side, but she is our favorite! one word of caution: the chicken parmigiana is NOT good - it's not breaded and it doesn't taste good at all. most everything else is quite tasty. this isn't a fancy high-cuisine type of restaurant, but it's really good food for the money.
Pros: good food, never crowded, parking lot
Cons: bad chicken parmigian

YUM YUM

The food is excellent. Our server had little personality, and was pretty off. I hope that she was just having a bad day. That was the only problem I had with the night. We ordered the veal al limone, tortellini alla panna, and eggplant parmigiana. It reminds me of the older italian restaurants in New Orleans that I grew up going to. Loved it!! Despite the service we plan to frequent this restaurant.
Pros: Value, good parking, tasty
Cons: service
