Oh my gosh. Was so amazing. Love the small town feel with huge portions for the great price. Friendly staff. Great atmosphere. It was middle of the day, yet I'm told night time dinner with the piano playing is worth it! Can't wait to go back!

Hubby surprised me with date night here for my birthday! We were greeted and seated front row to the piano which was a surprise as it was our first time! We had the pleasure of being served by Marcie who gave great recommendations through and through from wine to appetizers to food! Everything was incredible, the food fresh and the flavor made us feel like we were back in Italy on our honeymoon! Really great, authentic Italian food! We also got to meet the beauty and the brains behind the operation, as well as chef since it is family owned! I'd say we'd definitely be back but we literally went back the next night for take out pizza that was so go good..our now go to ◡̈

Loved the vibe here. Food was great. Service was awesome, thank you, Juan. Excellent wine list from all regions of Italy. Live music was at the perfect volume to enjoy and still be able to talk/hear your dinner mates. We will be back for sure!

Vincitorio's is a total home-run! Love it. Spaghetti Bolognese with meat sauce was super delicious . Our second time there. It's a bit of a drive for us but soooo worth it. The owner came around and checked on us twice. The second time, he ended up having a hilarious & far-reaching conversation with the four of us. So entertaining. Such a class act! After we paid, he personally brought us each a shot of limoncello. Can't wait for our next visit! Very Highly Recommended!

Sausage Fries: The Fries are delicious. They are not greasy, crispy outside, and soft on the be inside. The sausage is delicious. They are not greasy, juicy, and that flavor...wow. The Fries and sausage are not good together. They flavor is not enhanced when they are combined. Sausage and Peppers: The sausage is delicious. They are not greasy, juicy, and that flavor...wow. The bell pepper slices were soft. The marinara sauce is A-M-A-Z-I-N-G. I have never had marinara sauce like that. Honestly, I could have a bowl of marinara sauce with garlic bread and would have been happy.

A Hidden Gem with Heart and Flavor As a fellow public safety professional, dining at this charming Italian restaurant—owned by a retired member of our own community—felt like more than just a night out; it felt like an honor. There’s something deeply grounding and meaningful about supporting someone who spent their career in service, now creating a space where others can gather in comfort and connection. The food? Absolutely delicious and undeniably authentic—every bite felt like a kiss from Italy. From the first sip to the final course, it was clear this kitchen cooks with soul. As a woman who takes their meals seriously, I left feeling deeply satisfied and already anticipating our next visit. The ambience was equally lovely: warm, intimate, and perfectly suited for quiet conversation. It struck just the right balance between cozy and elevated—a romantic atmosphere that felt welcoming and unpretentious. Although we visited on a Tuesday, we’re already planning a return trip to enjoy the live music in the bar area, which we’ve heard adds even more magic to the experience. If I could ask for one thing, it would be the addition of a few booths for that extra layer of comfort and charm. But truly, everything else was wonderful. This is the kind of place that lingers in your memory—graceful, heartfelt, and beautifully done. We’ll be back!

Absolutely love the atmosphere here, the live piano and singing was romantic. I wish the food was better, Seems to me like they bake large amounts of food for dinner instead of cooking each dish to order. The chicken Marsala was bland and no sear one the chicken, the sausage was really good but again it was baked in sauce not seared and then put in a sauce. I do wanna go back to try the pizza cause I loved the atmosphere so much. This maybe someone's favorite just not mine
