This place actually«became» Sezoni Pizza on the other end of Queen Anne Ave on the hill. I don’t know what happened to necessitate a name-change or why they’re not advertising it as such, but it’s exactly the same. When Sezoni opened, the old Vincenzo’s phone number was used and the old menu still was unchanged(names of specials, etc.). Since then, they’ve apparently done more to eliminate traces of the old place — which honestly makes me wonder what they’re hiding. I’d always thought the food was pretty good, for what it’s worth. But if you’re interested in «re-finding» this place, look up Sezoni.

I’m saddened to say that this past weekend I stopped by for a nice tasty meal by the fireplace, and the place was closed. No furniture inside, no lights on, nothing. :-( This place was a fantastic no-frills Italian restaurant and I can only hope that they are able to beat this economy and the rafters fill with the warmth that once occupied it.

Their website has been down for at least a week now, and the phone number consistently gives a busy signal. So weird… what’s going on? Anyway, I’ve had their pizza as well as pasta and I’m a bigger fan of their pasta. Their chicken fettucini is so delicious. Their side salads are so good too. All of their desserts are delicious. The wait staff isn’t overly friendly, and when you dine in they hardly ever fill your water glass. The delivery time is good if you call in and you get to enjoy the delicious food in your own home and you can fill your own water glass. This is a favorite place to eat in Queen Anne!

Got delivery last night. Was very quick to arrive Food as good– wife & I both opted for pasta. The Lasagna I had was great. My wife enjoyed her Tortellini. Comes with a salad or soup(wife thought her Italian Wedding Soup was very average). Garlic bread that also came with it was a bit dry and hard. Prices are fairly good. I’ve eaten their pizza at the restaurant before and the pizza is excellent.

Friends and I were craving Italian on Friday night and on the hunt for a casual place. Stopped into Vencenzo’s to fuel up before our Friday night activities kicked off. Serve wine and beer, do not have a full bar. Baked Cauliflower app baked in Alfredo lemon sauce and topped with parmesan cheese was a huge hit at our table. We almost got into a brawl with each other over who was going to have the last of that sauce. Cheese bread was good, but not the best. Spinach and artichoke dip was all spinach with little to no artichoke. Had the tropical salad for dinner with spinach, fresh mango, cripsy bacon, almonds, Gorgonzola cheese. Twas good and price was right for $ 7.65. This place is great for kids, but not so great for a date. The music playing was a radio station hitting beats from the 80s… I love my fare share of Fleetwood Mac and Journey, but not when I am trying to eat my authentic Italian meal.

I went here tonight with a friend. She had a pasta dish with feta and artichokes and seemed to enjoy it. I had spaghetti which I feel like I could have made at home. The soup was nothing special either. I could see people coming here with kids because it seems like they serve kid friendly food. It was average. I feel bad because the service was really good. But what can I say? I won’t come back.

Vincenzo’s Pizza(and presumably pasta, since I always stick to their pizza menu) is one of those places in Seattle that I absolutely miss when I’m away. Moreover, since imitation is the greatest form of flattery, they should be pleased as punch that my girlfriend and I try to copy their putanesca pizza when we make pizza at home. Personally, I think we tend to find better olives, but there’s something about their crust and cheese that is unbeatable. Generally speaking, I almost always get the putanesca pizza and love every single bite. I’ve tried a couple other styles and been happy with them, but that one particular pizza keeps me coming back. The crust, as foreshadowed in the clever paragraph above, is dynamite. There’s something about it that puts it above most thick crust pizzas in town. The service here has always been top notch. The waitresses rarely are pushy or try to upsell you on things. My drink glass never goes empty if I’m having iced tea or even just water. I’m not sure why this place isn’t as busy as it should be. Maybe those of us who love Vincenzo’s are part of a supersecret society, so secret that we’re not even aware of it. My advice is to join this society.

This has become a somewhat regular place for us. I think maybe because of convenience and because the ingredients are fresh and of good quality, but not really because they have a great price or because their food is exceptional. Dont get me wrong, it’s somewhat enjoyable, it is just lacking something that I can’t put my finger on. It certainly isn’t cheese, or greese; that’s for sure. I have never seen so much cheese on a dish in my life. I love the crust on their pizza, but the pizza just doesn’t pop. It is lacking some flavor. It’s a bit bland, if you ask me, WONDERFUL marinara sauce, pretty good garlic bread, decent pasta(again though, lacking), and an excellent eggplant and zucchini bake(which is sort of like an eggplant parmesan and zucchini drenched in marinara and covered in cheese and then baked until bubbly). I do like that they store your information and when you call they know who you are. It makes me feel special despite the fact that they do it for every delivery. «Are you still at [insert address here]? Or can we deliver somewhere else for you?» «Why yes, yes I am. Thank you for asking.»

We probably to Vincenzo’s more than any other place on Q.Anne. We’ve tried most things on their menu. Appetizers: love their hot wings and cheesy cauliflower — which even people who don’t like cauliflower will LOVE. Lately we’ve tried their eggplant zucchini bake too, but we prefer the cauliflower I think. Salads: most are available in entrée size. Italian salad is my favorite — a salad with meat? WINNER. Pastas: great sauces. we particularly like their homemade pomodoro. they have great pasta options for kids too. Ravioli, linguini etc. with just butter if kids want — you know how some kids are. Pizza: interesting combos available along with the standard fare. Wait staff is friendly and seating is indoor/outdoor. wonderful for lunch.

I don’t know why this place is not always packed out. The helpings are quite large, the dishes excellent, and the staff always attentive, but not overly so.

I really liked Vincenzos. Ordered food to go for dinner on NYE. They were quick and very polite! The orders were huge and made great leftovers. I had the cheese tortellini with a cream sauce that was so rich I had to eat it slowly. I also don’t really like soup but on a cold night opted for a potato and bacon soup… amazing. The garlic bread was also delicious. My friend had baked spaghetti that looked like it could feed a family of four. We even inspired the people we ate in front of that night to pick it up the next day. I had one bite of the chicken pesto sub and knew I could go back there… again and again. It’s a cute spot, with great food! Totally worth a shot.

Wow, the food here is excellent. We dined in on a Saturday night after a Huskies game and shared the Italian Salad and Putanessca, and both were fantastic. The portions are enormous as well, so don’t think you’re not going home with some leftovers. The service was great as well. If the food and service are the same next time I come here, I’ll up my review to a 5 star.

This place has the best chicken alfredo ever. Its very rich but the flavor is amazing. I order it about once a week. Don’t ask for anything special done to your order because most likely they forget but thats ok because usually I usually pick off what I ask them to leave out. Making so many dishes a day, they probably make them out of habit and not really special orders. The people are always super nice, even the delivery drivers. Recommended if you are hungry and like leftovers too.

These guys serve some pretty tasty food! I don’t think I’ve had a bad dish here. My favorites include their hot sandwiches like the pesto chicken and their Lazio pizza. The sandwich has pesto, chicken breast, roasted red peppers, and parmesan and mozzarella cheese served on French bread. You can order the sandwich as half or whole. The Lazio pizza is topped with Italian sausage, onions, mushrooms and roasted red peppers. They have great delivery specials too. If you happen to be at the restaurant, grab a to go menu because they have lots of coupon specials. I really like the free 10 piece Buffalo Chicken Wings with the purchase of a medium or large pizza. You get a choice of either BBQ, Italian or Hot. I have found that BBQ is the best of the bunch. If you don’t like chicken wings then you can opt for Baby Pork Ribs instead. This is always a great place to visit because you can always get a table here. UPDATE: 12÷02÷07 Ordered the Lazio and they changed their Italian sausage to the type you would find on pizza from Domino’s, Pizza Hut, etc… Suffice to say I was a little disappointed.

Enormous food. I ordered the meatball sandwich. «Half or whole?» the kind lady asked. «Whole,» I said, thinking that was a silly question for a man with a mouth as large as mine. Not such a silly question after all. The sandwiches are gigantic. A half sandwich is plenty. A whole will easily feed two [elephants]. Same deal with the calzones… take a large pizza and fold it in half: that’s basically what you’re getting. Wow that’s a lot of food. Deliciousness.

This review is for delivery. I give them five stars with the assistance of my oven to warm and reprep items to temperature-perfection. Here are the highlights and a primer on how to order and enjoy them. House salad: order with no onion if you don’t like them. Mention the coupon for a free salad with a large pizza. Eat first. Put the other items in your prewarmed oven. Large Pizza: Eat after the salad. Although they have all your standards and their specials, try the eggplant. It is basically eggplant Parmesan(breaded and fried) on a pizza. Sooo delicious. Be sure to mention the $ 3-off coupon for a large pizza. Baby pork ribs(Or, you can choose Buffalo wings.): Free with medium or large pizza. Eat after the pizza. Baked Cauliflowers: Here’s a side dish for anyone still on the Atkins diet: cauliflower florets baked in the style of macaroni and cheese.(Don’t be misled by the menu description.) Vincenzo’s has made cauliflower delicious to everyone. No coupon special for this but well worth the full $ 6.75. Another item from this list that you will keep eating even though you know your stomach is trying to tell you to stop. Follow with a Pepcid AC, Zantac or your antacid chaser of choice.

I cant vouch for normal everyday dinig here, but last night we were treated to a private party here, with banquet style food. The food was okay. Ive had better italian food, and I ve had much worse. The wait staff was courteous and prompt though, which was surprising with such a crowd. The coffee was always cold, however, straight from the pot.

I used to work on Lake Union, which might as well be Alcatraz, when it comes to lunch options. Enter Vincenzo’s and free delivery! But beyond the free delivery, the food is good, and there’s a lot of it! Now I work on Queen Anne and frequent Vincenzo’s live and in-person — even better! It’s a quaint little place, complete with a fireplace! It’s usually fairly empty, always comfortable with great service! The panini sandwiches are amazing. The lasagna is literally the best I’ve ever had. But my «ush»(aka usually) is the Mediterranean Salad with chicken. Lindsey hearts Vincenzo’s!

Vincenzo’s is your typical yummy Italian restaurant with a little kitsch and a lot of good food. I’ve only ordered take-out here, and everything I’ve had was delicious. I highly recommend the baked spaghetti, especially if you like a lot of cheese, and the calzone’s are pretty darn good, too. If you have a craving for good, simple, satisfying ‘American’ Italian food, this is the place, they have all the ‘regular’ items you’d find on a menu. The prices are reasonable considering I’ve always had a ton of leftovers for dinner the next night. They also have free delivery if you’re feeling lazy.
