Its about time! I felt like I was back in Lazio/Emilia Romana when I found a decent, artisinal quality guanciale incorporated into dishes on the menu. The house produces its own, which is unusual for the West Coast. The pasta dishes are excellent and the pricing is fair. I have been very well serviced on each of my visits, considering the crowds that may be present at times. I would like to see the lights dimmed a little, though. I think that it would create a more romantic atmosphere considering that space is at a premium between the tables. Still, all things considered, Vincenti is a very pleasant dining experience for a date or with the wife and/or guests. When rating, I consider the menu and service as the most important considerations. I highly recommend Vincenti to anyone who appreciates authentic Italian cuisine and pleasant service.
Pros: menu variety, excellent service, fair pricing
Cons: seating arrangement, less romantic
