Food and beverages were excellent. Atmosphere cold and un-inviting. Extremely noisy with a full house.

The service was really slow, but then again the physical design of the restaurant means you can't hear anyone actually speak. The food was fine.

I took someone there for lunch. I'd never been there before. It's right downtown on Pacific Avenue and even at lunch time I was able to easily find street parking. It has great ambiance and I loved the way it was decorated. The service was friendly, prompt and attentive. The food was great and everything was fresh and homemade. The meatball sandwich was fantastic! I would definitely go again although I would probably go for dinner next time as the have a completely different menu for dinner and I would love to try something new.

Very accommodating to our tight schedule to make the Ballet at Pantages Theater, around the corner, and to our opening a bottle of wine we brought. I would like to go back to enjoy the food at a slower pace!

I was excited to have their clams and linguini. I ordered this item and the server came back in a few minutes and told me they had no clams? This was a Friday night and I was shocked they would be out of stock of this item. I noticed other tables had bread service with their dinner, we did not get any until I asked and the server said, oh, sorry I thought I put some in the oven for you, I will do that now. Wasn't the experience I was looking for.

What a great find! We hadn't heard of the restaurant before and like to try new places so when it popped up on Open Table we decided to try it. We went on a Sunday evening and got right in. A Seahawks Monday night game this week so slower than normal. It was great for us! We sat at the bar which I love to do to get a better feel for a new place. Our bartender Bruce was fantastic, friendly and knowledgeable. We were able to hear the story of the restaurant by the owner which was a treat! The decor is a great mix of wood and brick! Kevin said they made some changes a few months ago so if you tried it before that you should definitely go again. Food... Complimentary rosemary bread was delicious! I had the chicken marsala with mushroom risotto that was amazing! Piping hot which I love! My friend had mushroom ravioli. The sauce and the stuffing were so flavorful that you hardly noticed the pasta! Very generous portions as well. You will not leave hungry! We're already talking about going back to try other dishes including the many pizzas! Definitely a gem of a new find and will be sharing this with friends and family!

This was our second time to Vincero. I'd latched on to it the first time because they correctly spelled the plural of pizza as pizze. That doesn't happen often, and it shows attention to detail. My memory is isn't what it used to be, alas, so I don't recall our full meal. I do remember that my entree was the tortellini with prosciutto and peas. I'd expected the peas to be individual, even if fresh. Instead, they were sugar peas in the pod, very tasty, and the fresh pea flavor suffused the dish. Very distinctive, and done well.
