Where the Locals Eat Rating
Top 100 Restaurant, New Orleans
"[Owner/chef Vincent Catalanotto] showcases the finest and freshest ingredients available (in fact, there are no walk-in coolers or freezers at Vincent's -- produce, seafood, meats and cheeses are delivered fresh daily!) He blended his own ideas about New Orleans style Italian cooking with some things he learned while working in fine dining rooms around the city. Locals returned often because of the quality and value of the food as well as for the comfortable atmosphere."
– Vincent's website
"Entrees, ranging from traditional Italian fare like spaghetti and meatballs to the seasonal fried softshell crab topped with crawfish au gratin, won't let you put your fork down until it's all gone."
—Gambit
