This is the best spaghetti restaurant in town! They have decent prices and a classic Italian atmosphere. Love this place been going here for 35 years! read more

One of my criteria for giving 5 starts is would I be willing to travel out of my way to go to this restaurant. In this case it is obvious in that I drove 45 minutes one way just to eat at Vince's. Part of this may be from a "growing up bias" in that I've eaten Vince's spaghetti since I was a kid. I was so happy to learn that an Express had opened in Temecula which is relatively close to a timeshare we go to each year in Escondido. They do not fail to disappoint. Always get what you expect. Spaghetti can be personal in what kind of sauce you prefer, but they are well worth the drive. read more

It says online, on the door and in the drive through that they're open at 12pm on Sunday's. I drove 45 minutes and they are not open, there was numerous people in the drive through waiting. There was no sign stating they were closed anywhere and no employees anywhere either. So ridiculous. What a waste of my time and a half a tank of gas. NEVER AGAIN. read more

We've been going to Vince's for over 35 years. We found this one in Temecula years ago but in the last 3-5 years it has really changed. Every time we go, I say I'm not coming back again but we crave it & go back. Today was definitely another DISAPPOINTMENT. I ordered an anti-pasta salad. The menu says it's served with HAM, Genona Salami, Pepperoni, Olives & Provolone cheese. Our salad ONLY had lettuce, about 4 pieces of pepperoni, 2 squares of ham, and some cheese, We asked about the olives & they said they were OUT, then someone else came to say sorry we're out of Olives & pepperoncinis. Its was just bagged lettuce, it was small & did not have all its ingredients. And it was 15.00 !!! I felt robbed, saying sorry for not serving what's on their menu but charging their customers full price? We left very unhappy again. read more

been going to vinces for a long time. this was the first time the service was terrible, i ordered 2 lasagna dinners with two salads and extra 2 meat balls, what i receivec was one lasagna one salad, one soup. when i called to speak to someone the gentleman was not very considerate to my situation, didn't even say sorry, but continues to make it seem like it was my fault.. the order person repeated the order and yet got it totally wrongi will not be going back there again. bad customer service. they are not for the customers read more

I've been to this drive thru location several times but it was my first time to actually dine inside. Came for lunch and got my usual order of spaghetti with tomato sauce. The lunch specials come with either soup or side salad and your choice of garlic or garlic cheese bread. The service was quick and our server was friendly. The pasta portions are huge and don't skimp on the sauce which is a definite plus. Lunch prices are super affordable. I highly recommend bringing the whole family for lunch! Great spot for groups and families alike. read more

Our favorite spaghetti sauce. So tasty, just right. Cozy inside. Fast service. We ordered half portions, as full portions are generous in size. Mine spaghetti w/one meatball on the side. Hubby had the mostaccioli, perfect al dente. We each had a glass of Chianti and their garlic bread. We're never disappointed here. Try it. read more

I've been to the one in Ontario, which is excellent, by the way. Looks like I'll be going back cause these children at the register are something else. The young adult was so rude and annoyed when I didn't tell him what dressing I wanted. read more

Been here a few times I work real close to the location but the food is amazing I've only gotten the meatball sandwich combo with soup and it's AMAZING I hope my job site goes on in the area for a while so I can come here. Also I go in lunchtime which is at 12 and they do it quick enough I can still drive back to my job and eat without much rush. read more

Went to pick up dinner this evening, and I had asked for them to put extra sauce on our spaghetti, because the last time, our spaghetti was pretty dry. Got home, and it didn't have enough sauce for the two us us when I went to dish out our meal. It looked like there was plenty, but looks were deceiving, it was just some on top, and dry through. I had to open up sauce that I had a home and mix it in to our portions, and it would have been a pretty dry meal. I also ordered a meat ball, and boy have those things shrunk. You raise your prices astronomical, and don't give patron's the quality of food we expected. After eating here since they opened, Sadly, I'm very disappointed in what's become of Vince's. read more

Vince's is very popular in the Inland Empire. Today I visited the location in Temecula. The location looks like a former fast food location. Vince's is located on the now slower side of Temecula a you will not have to deal with too much traffic. I ordered for Antipasto Salad that includes meats, cheese, lettuce and dressing. The salad and ingredients are fresh. The dressing was Italian and it was flavorful. (Very Good) To go ordered the half Italian dinner that includes pasta with meat sauce, or butter if you prefer, salad and garlic bread. Good portion size. (Very Good but wrong pasta was packed on his order). Finally the French Dip that was on a Garlic French Roll. (Excellent) This location has a drive thru with the entire dine in menu available.The service is normally pretty fast at the drive thru. The food quality is good when driving thru also. In closing, they also have patio dining with 6 tables. Parking is good for this location. read more

I've been coming here with my mom for years when she needs to pick up her wine club bottles. I LOVE this place. Zero frills. Salad covered in cheese, pasta covered in cheese, tasty soup that never changes, I love it all! And that full size order of spaghetti could easily feed 3-4 people, so you're set for the week with leftovers! Highly recommend bringing big groups and families here, they have tables that accommodate big groups easily. read more

Vince's Spaghetti Express - Full size Spaghetti with Meat Sauce with baked provolone on top - Italian Near Me - Temecula, California

Sadly about 4 years ago Vince's closed in Torrance. The space is now a dental office. It offered spaghetti and lasagna with all the related items including the sliced whole French roll of cheese or garlic bread. Sadly, though I encouraged the owner to open in the long shuttered Stick and Stein space on Sepulveda in El Segundo, South Bay folks are no where near a Vince's and have to travel to the Chino area for two restaurants or even further to Temecula. Each separate restaurant is run by family but the sauces always taste a little darker, burnt, less sweet, less fresh tomatoey. Same soup and salad and garlic bread. If you're in the area it's always a good place to stop for a good meal. I always get the extra large and have it for left overs. read more

YUM! So I've been to the Vince's in Rancho and when this popped up in Temecula on Yelp I knew I had to go. My boyfriend and I stopped in around 7ish last night and it wasn't busy at all. Our waitress was exceptional, very sweet and helpful. I asked her if this location also puts the baked provolone on their spaghetti and she said yes! So of course I convinced my BF to try and now I am going to convince my fellow Yelpers to try it too! I ordered the spaghetti with their famous meat sauce with baked provolone. It was the half dinner portion a la carte. My bf ordered the meal which comes with half a portion of spaghetti, your choice of garlic or cheese bread, salad & soup. They serve Pepsi products here, as well as a wine & beer list. Our food was out in a timely manner and it was piping hot. Super good, extremely filling and full of flavor. Honestly it is a sharable meal (we both had leftovers.) They also have a drive-thru which is pretty BA if you want to take it to go! read more

Vince's Spaghetti Express - Yes, that is provolone melted on top of Spaghetti - Italian Near Me - Temecula, California

Honestly, totally a chill and very family friendly spot. Service was chill and good. Food was fantastic and honestly much better service compared to that swing in Cafe. Had gone there originally for a birthday celebration but was given the cold shoulder while waiting for a table so we came here since the kids had yet to eat since swing in had us wait for an hour for a table and then forgot about us. So we came here and man, sat right away. Ordered as well just as quick, and like 15 mins later food was there and my god the portions. King size. Absolutely loved that especially after the disappointment appetizer yet again courtesy of swing in Cafe (last I will mention that shithouse), and so freaking delicious. I live in Los Angeles and I want to go back just for the Bombay spaghetti. Truly made well. Kids loved it. Was well taken care of by the staff, granted it was a bit of a slow day but all in all. Would totally take the family there again. 9/10 would recommend. Only ding a point off because I was unable to review the bathroom since surprisingly no one had to use it and can't commit on it so will leave it off but everything else. Flawless. Very friendly staff. Welcoming area. Nice birds outside as well read more

Food was amazing! New to this spot will definitely be coming back. The portions are HUGE (see pics)! Unless you're feeding an entire family or a couple teenage boys I'd recommend the half portion of the pasta as this is the largest portion I've ever been served. The narrative us amazing. The provolone on top, not baked, made the spaghetti super creamy. Vince's Dinner comes with a ton of extras. Taking most of it home. The salad was fresh and the Bleu cheese dressing was one of the best I've had. The garlic bread is a divine meal in and of itself. The French Beef Dip on cheese bread was super tasty and HUGE! So much meat! read more

Vince's Spaghetti Express - The last half of the French Beef Dip. There was so much beef left in the sauce he made a slider out of it with half of my garlic bread. - Italian Near Me - Temecula, California

The air-conditioning was not real good. I was sweating while trying to enjoy my lunch. The food was so-so and kinda on the pricey side for the quality. It was edible but not worth going back for. The beef dip sandwich was absolutely tasteless. If you had your eyes closed, you would not be able to guess what kind of meat was on the sandwich ... not sure you would even know it was meet. The lasagna was slightly better but at $17 a la carte it was very pedestrian. I also sat with my drink empty and no refill for most of the meal. We will not be returning. The waitress also did not bring back our change. Bottom Line: This was the worst dining out experience we have had in a very long time even though we eat out frequently. read more

Careful in the drive thru if you order garlic rolls. They will for sure throw the cheese one in instead...4th time in a row

Been going to Vince's Ontario for 20 years come in here, two or three maybe four visits and never have experienced the same deliciousness of the original Vinces. Order a simple full order of spaghetti, half order of Mosticcioli , anyway the full order had half as much meat sauce as a regular in-house delivery. The salads came with no French dressing, which is in the original from the original Vinces and each time we come here we are extremely disappointed in the final delivery. They need to clean the place up fix their awnings wash their windows clean up the landscape or close the place down and we can all go back to Ontario. read more

We were pleasantly surprised to find a Vince's Spaghetti Express right across from our hotel! Had lunch there which was reasonably priced but just as delicious as the other Vince's that we normally go to in Ontario. I had the lasagna which came with garlic bread and soup which was plenty for lunch. read more

We stopped here on our way to Sea World. It's right off the 15 fwy. We ordered the $10 spaghetti w meat sauce lunch special it came with soup or salad and garlic or cheese bread...a lot of food for around $10 bucks! The spaghetti was hearty...the flavor was good! The garlic bread was fresh buttery flaky goodness. I'd definitely return and the service was good! read more

Visited Vince's the other day for dinner prompted by the billboard advertising and also a neighbor who swears by the spaghetti. Perhaps my expectations were set too high or the time of day being dinner and a large table of patrons celebrating a kids birthday party or perhaps I was just hungry and couldn't get service fast enough, all played a toll on my first experience. Was an okay experience and not the OMG I was expecting. For what it is, you might be better off taking the order to go as the dine in experience is not a traditional dine in. Perhaps somewhere caught between fast food and formal dining. Not sure but you'll see for your self if you go, you'll be competing for service with a drive through and a sit down experience Food was ok and the portions were ok. I may be biased but my experience tells me that there are plenty of Italian restaurants in the area and if your looking for a formal service oriented experience you may want to choose somewhere Elise. Otherwise look forward to plastic bowls and your food coming delivered on a rolling cart. read more

Complete nostalgia coming here. Our Vince's (Torrance) closed almost 10 years ago and I grew up eating there with my family allll the time. We were staying in the area and decided to try this location in hopes it still tasted the same (especially the soup which was always my favorite) and let me tell you, it did not disappoint. This really is a casual, no frills, non pretentious place. You will not get the best Italian food but you will get a level of comfort and familiarity that everyone needs. It's a hug on a plate. I came here with my husband and youngest child and watched several multigenerational families eating together. Anytime we are in the area, we will be back. read more

Quite Excellent! The spaghetti here was really yummy and they also have fantastic garlic bread. I purchased a full dinner which comes with a half order of spaghetti and garlic bread, as well as soup and salad. It's lots of food. The soup and salad were just ok, not particularly impressive. The spaghetti and the garlic bread are the real attraction here. The prices are very reasonable and the service was also friendly and attentive. This place is really a find. I'll be going back from time to time whenever I'm in the area. read more

My family and I moved to the Temecula area a little less than one year ago. We visit Vince's in Temecula a few times a month and could not ask for better service, food and a nice place to chat with others. The food is always amazing and the customer service is even better. We just ate here again tonight and we can't wait to go back. Keep up the good work Vince's team!! read more

vince's is just not like it used to be. The dining room has no restaurant vibe, and its way too pricey for takeout

Great food and service. Good vibes. They also have a drive through which is nice when you just want to take it home to enjoy. Huge portions of the pasta! I would say there are at least 4 portions in 1 order so leftovers galore or plan on splitting the order. The desserts are delicious as well. LOVE the Tiramisu. read more

This food is so overpriced yes you do get a lot of it but I really didn't think the tomato sauce with meat was that exemplary. Very little selection you either get one type of pasta or spaghetti with either tomato sauce and a little bit of meat or tomato sauce and a lot of meat. They charge $4 for a regular size meatball you could go to Filippi's and get four times the size meatball for the same amount. Very nice service but won't be back not good enough to return read more

Would I recommend YES! Why the three stars, well it's not for me. Please understand my wife and I try to lean slightly towards low sodium. Let me tell a story... Making homemade bruschetta. If you had done this, you know what I'm talking about. If not, I'll explain. Homemade bruschetta can take a lot of salt. You season in layers, the tomato's, the bread... you need layers. I didn't say make a salt mine out of it, it just needs a lot of seasoning as the tomatoes are a blank palate. When you get the balsamic, basil, salt, pepper, garlic, tomatoes, Bread in that perfect harmony... perfecto! But the first time I made it years ago I thought I put too much salt but it hardly came through. Now to Vince! Bruschetta is a lot like a good tomato sauce. You can get a more robust taste from a tomato sauce due to heating it. But I find it is just way to salty for me. Sadly I have a palate that can taste salt well and it is a fine line between perfect and too much. The portions are great, the service is quick, polite and clean... it's just not for me. This is like a fast food spaghetti drive through, and I'm sure they have many loyal customers. Just not for me. read more

Been coming here for years and love the lasagna, it's one of their best dishes however the last 3 times I've been here they are out of lasagna. On a Tuesday at 6 you're out of lasagna already come on guys make more that would be the right thing to do. We decided we will never go back to Vince's again there is plenty of places in town that make lasagna and always have it. Consistency is everything and you guys are not consistent at all so for that I'll will spend my money elsewhere. read more

My god, $2 for an extra plate.... After the food comes out?? Honestly insane. Their "spaghetti" very MID. I'd rather grab some sketti-os....also, are you sure your server is old enough to serve a $10 of wine...as she called it "the star of the show". I'll enjoy throwing this up tonight. Thanks for nothing. read more

I might as well have thrown my $14 in the trash! I hadn't been here in so long so I figured it'd try it, I got the soup and salad combo, I should've gone home & grabbed a fistful of lettuce mix from the grocery store salad I bought myself, my ranch cup was open in the bag so I couldn't even add that & it made a mess, soup is probably canned, no utensils provided either. So disappointed! ... I should've read these yelp reviews before ordering!!!! read more
