I am obsessed with this place. Came here for a four year anniversary with my boyfriend... they placed a cute little heart balloon at the table, every employee wished us a happy anniversary, and they even gave us a complimentary desert (which was delicious)! The live music is wonderful and the staff is so friendly. We had a great experience eating here; I highly recommend!

Excellent! We have been waiting tj to and have the shrimp and crab ravioli special with lobster sauce. So worth the wait! Place was packed for a Tuesday evening so we sat at the bar and Ashley was awesome funny, attentive, engaged, and informative and awesome with the giant pepper grinder

This is an old well established Italian restaurant. Good prices and great location. They have a varied pasta menu and a very good bar and wine and spirits collection. Plenty of parking and lots to do in this center.

Finally made it to Vincitorio's. We went on a Friday, which was very busy. We didn't have a reservation, thankfully we were seated right away. As it was our first time we decided to share a pizza, the Pizza Caprese which had Prosciutto and Buffalo Mozzarella. The pizza was salty with a fantastic crust, which is just how I like it. We also started with Fried Ravioli which came with their "famous jalapeno ranch". I prefer mine with marinara, they were still good without the sauce. At the end we decided to treat ourselves to dessert. The husband got the Vaniglia Gelati, which he completely enjoyed. I went with the Cannoli, which was creamy and decadent. We left with leftovers. The place is on the pricey side for just a random dinner, so we will add it to our special occasions places.

The food is excellent! Just the smell of the food when you enter the restaurant piques your taste buds. It is our Go-to-place when the family is in town and we want to have a fabulous time! The wait staff is attentive but not pushy. You feel like they are enjoying your evening with you. We LOVE this place!

Great place for the lunch buffet. Three small helpings. Sorry, I did not get the names. I was too busy enjoying the flavors.

"Wednesday 1/2 bottle of wine" was the sign Guess everyone already knew that cause the place was packed! We got in, a table of 8. The service was great, you would have thought you were the only table. Got our drinks fast, and the 1/2 bottle. Food was awesome, but I guess everyone knows that?

Wow, we stopped for dinner after an all day flight. We saw this family owned restaurant on TripAdvisor and it was very convenient to the hotel. The service, food and wine selections were great. So great, in fact, we hosted our local relatives for dinner the next evening! Two nights in a row... that should explain it all.

The service is impeccable. So refreshing to get great service. I think it's lost in dining out, so I stay away from those who don't. The ravioli were amazing so was the seafood dish. The pizza was oily but delicious.

Limited but nice buffet for $10.35, includes a soft drink. Salad, a couple of pasta choice one with meatballs and one with chicken. I wished they had a plain vegetarian pasta option. I picked the mushrooms and pasta to avoid the meat. Good service, quaint atmosphere.

First time to Arizona from the Pacific Northwest and was told we HAD to eat there. We went on a Wednesday with a group of 6. It is a great, dimly lit setting that is ideal for a date night. Ample bar size but more importantly, half off wine on Wednesday’s! The food was phenomenal. Their red sauce on the lasagna is to die for and had us asking for extra to take home with our leftovers. Entertainment for the evening was live music by Sarah Vanell. Best live music I’ve heard, great vocals and had a wide range of music. She was engaging and made the venue that much better. The owner came out towards closing time and ate a meal with friends, so extremely friendly and humble.The best part of my 5 day trip to Arizona, would gladly go back!

Relatively fair pricing and most of the staff was friendly. Some of my party really enjoyed their pasta dishes while others didn't like their pasta dish at all. I had really high expectations after seeing the rating of this place which were not met. Minor comments include stating there is not much room if you have to wait for a table, parking lot fills up, and plenty of trinkets to browse while waiting. Place books up so reservations are definitely recommended. Major comments include saying that food was hit or miss and staff was either too booked or chose not to care at points.

I’ve eaten here 1/2 dozen times in the last two years (always when I come to town). I’ve NEVER been disappointed with the food or the service. Don’t let the strip mall feel fool you, this is one of the best eateries around...period!

A nice Italian restaurant. Decent prices, an extensive wine list, good food, friendly staff, and good service. A delightful cup of Italian Wedding Soup, a nice glass of white wine, and Eggplant Parmesan. Plus, Lasagna for my partner. Portions are large.The food was served hot and in a timely manner. The atmosphere was like a Tuscan wine cellar, stone and mellow yellow walls with family photos and murals. There is a gift shop, carry-out is offered, and a full bar, where there is also table service. Certain nights will have a piano 'man' playing. Restrooms are clean.Parking is in the strip mall outfront, which is large and well-lit.This restaurant is popular with locals and others come from long distances to find a nice place that is not a chain.

I go here when I’m craving a truly authentic Italian meal in the East Valley. We love their food! Especially the butternut squash ravioli they make fresh onsite. It’s to die for! It seems all their pasta is made fresh onsite. I have personally seen them make several different pastas when I’ve been there. It’s always fresh. Also do not miss the mushroom soup. I’m not a big fan normally but theirs is simply amazing! Smooth and creamy. Last time I tried their chicken parmigiana. It was so huge I made 3 meals out of it! Two people could easily share it and still have leftovers. Over the years I’ve eaten here no less than a dozen times and I’ve never been disappointed. How many restaurants can you say that about?

Local family owned with great ambiance. Warm and friendly service. Food was plentiful and priced fairly. We had a large party with mixed feelings on taste. This was the only thing from giving the 5th Star. Loved the live piano player. Desserts we're excellent. Overall the family had a really good time.

The best genuine Italian food that I know of in Tempe. Afternoons are great for food, drink, desserts, thick wooden tables and cuz if you are in middle or southern Italy, and I've been there! and not crowded in the afternoons. There's a separate room with a wine bar and often live music as well. Now is the time and weather to enjoy the outdoor patio. Just come here a few times and Mario and his wife will recognize and greet you.

Maybe I’m spoiled from growing up back East but my kid got spaghetti and meatballs, not much gravy, what was there wasn’t all that tasty. The pizza was all cheese no gravy, over cooked on one side under cooked on the other...oh well now I know...

After several different times, lunch and dinner, eating here, it was past time for a review! The food is fantastic, particularly the lasagna, and the service is even better than the high bar I'd set for a local, family owned restaurant. One example: the servers wait until everyone is done eating to clear plates, something that is done only in the best of places, it seems; most places are eager to clear off your plate even before your fork hits the plate from your last mouthful. Marcie does a great job, and it's always fun when the owners come say hi. Highly recommended.

The food was great. I got the same thing as I did last time and it was good. I am going to get the lasagna next time. I like the meaty sauce in the lasagna a lot. We got some fire mozzarella sticks too and they were good. The gave me a desert to for my birthday. It was really good. What a great place to have so close to my house.

First off the parking here sucks. Every parking spot is a tiny compact spot. Inside the restaurant the table set up mimics the parking lot. It was super claustrophobic and crampt. The tables were way too close to each other and the servers couldn't get around. I wouldn't be surprised if this is against fire code. There are no drinks on the menu, so I assume they don't have any. Our waitress didn't know what soda they had besides coke and diet coke. The bus boy who brings you water in the beginning didn't know when happy hour was. How does one work at a restaurant and not know something basic like that? Our waitress had no idea what was on tap beer-wise. When our food came it was just given to us and our waitress ran away not asking if we needed anything. Food was super mediocre and does not justify the high prices and lackluster service.

I've been here twice so far and I still have so much more I want to try, including the lunch buffet. Ambiance is great and relaxed, service is quick and friendly, and most importantly the food is spectacular (we get seconds of the house bread!). Be sure to try an item from the dessert menu!

Everything was awesome. The server was knowledgeable and attentive and made sure all 13 of our party had everything we needed. I tried the stuffed pork chop which was amazing. Everything from the appetizers to the entrees where great. Definitely a place to stop in to if you're a fan of Italian. Thank you to our server, Adam, for a great job!

If you are looking for that upscale fine dining Italian experience, this isn't that. This however, is that rustic, cozy, all in family Italian experience at it's most authentic version. If you want to eat, you will definitely need a reservation, all though if your lucky you can get a seat at the bar. I highly recommend Vincitorios if you are looking for fresh authentic Italian food and a true Italian experience.

I didn't think I'd ever rave about "mushroom soup". Vincitorio's changed that. They have the most delicious Mushroom Soup I've ever had in my life. Good enough to make a meal out of it.

Questions & Answers

Yep. Full standard Italian menu and then some.

I didn't know the restaurant was sponsoring a trip to Italy. I recommend you call them.

We are not, we’re closed Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day.

Yes they have the ability and know how to make their food safe for a celiac. This is one of my favorite restaurants. Please call and ask them yourself if you still have questions. The staff is very helpful and even more knowledgeable a bout their dishes.

It's casual but nice enough not look out of place dressed up.

Dress Casual. Just don't be a shmuck.

Yes.
