    Vince's Spaghetti is so nostalgic for me. It brings me back to my childhood days going with my family. So many wonderful memories. It hasn't changed either. The food and service are always great. We always get their Spaghetti with Meat Sauce. It's so hearty, meaty, and filling. They give you such generous portions, too. My kids eat it up. And you have to try their cheese bread, but their garlic bread is also really yummy. Of course for dessert, no question, you have to get their Spumoni. My kids' favorite flavor in the Spumoni was no surprise, chocolate. If you want good Italian food at a reasonable price, come here.

    Service here is always great! The food is always delicious with huge portions as well. This was my first time getting a French dip sandwich and I'll absolutely be getting that again! It's on their garlic or cheese bread too. Inside is clean and big enough for larger parties.

    I've been craving Vince's Spaghetti and just had to make a trip out to Ontario! I always get the dinner meal; spaghetti with meat sauce, cheese bread, salad with blue cheese dressing and a cup of cheese! I am bummed they don't offer the bowl of cheese anymore.

    A classic family owned restaurant in Ontario which had its unique Italian family style setup. A wonderful limited selection of Italian pasta dishes that are very comforting and delicious. You can pick from there classic Spaghetti with rich meat sauce or Mastaccioli. You're better off ordering the full meal that includes soup, salad, garlic or cheese bread and pasta. The servings are very generous. I get the half order and still have left overs to take home and it tastes just as delicious reheated!! The service is great and fast. The restaurant is so large, seating for all party sizes. So if you're in the mood for classic Italian comfort food, Vince's is the way to go!! They also have a second newer location in Rancho Cucamonga, which is nice but prefer the classic vibes!!!

    I'm 71 years old and I started coming here as a child. I lived nearby for decades and ate here regularly. I moved away about 33 years ago but return every time I'm anywhere near. There is something magical about a place that really hasn't changed much over the decades. They still have the original 1 cent gum machine I got SQUARE green gum out as a little kid. I cannot resist putting a penny in it every time I visit. (:-) And this was the first place my parents treated me to Junior Mints that are still available on the check out counter. They offer what I call TASTE SENSATIONS that I simply cannot find anywhere else. Things like garlic bread dipped in THEIR house Italian salad dressing. And again...garlic bread dipped in their famous meat sauce. I used to order the meatball sandwich MADE on GARLIC BREAD and dip THAT in the dressing but I realized I was happiest with just a cup of meat sauce. Yes the spaghetti is great if you are a big pasta person but I'm more of a garlic bread person so the garlic bread, I use to scoop up meat sauce, is MY THING...and yes I frequently dip the bread in the dressing before I scoop up the meat sauce. (:-) I LOVE Vinces Spaghetti. I will return here every chance I get. And YES as big as the place is, it can still get packed. If you're in a rush, call and ask if they still take reservations. CLOSED WEDNESDAYS! If you find this review helpful please VOTE!

    Half order of Spaghetti with Meat Sauce
    Colin O.

    Well, what do I say? This place has been here for over 75 years. And that's just a little bit surprising. At $24 a plate, I was a bit underwhelmed. The meat sauce was runny (ew) but the spaghetti itself was alright. The garlic bread was toasted just fine but it had almost no garlic butter at all. The drinks are $4 and no refills? Disappointed. Not saying go to Olive Garden. Maybe...cook this meal at your house. $60 with tip for two average plates of pasta.

    The meatballs that the waitress said were big. Regular size for a sandwich is more like it

    Shared the spaghetti lunch with meat sauce special with my mom at the restaurant and ordered 2 spaghetti with meat sauce to go and 2 meatballs. I do give the spaghetti 4.3 stars. But the meatballs for almost 4 dollars I would've thought they would've been bigger, but when I got home and I looked at them, they look like they would be size for a sandwich. If I order them again, it would be only because my family enjoyed them. I didn't care.

    I enjoyed lunch at Vince's on Monday. Always like coming to the original location love the pictures on the wall and the feeling of the restaurant service was excellent. Sophie was very friendly and professional. The spaghetti was delicious as always I always get the extra cheese on it. Recommend dining here if you're in the area.

    I think they gave me the garbage instead of a salad.  Brown and slimy, do better!

    Salad was Brown and slimy. Even a blind person could see it's bad. Do better!! Last time I ordered spaghetti it looked like it was scrapped off someone's plate and packed up to go.

    Nostalgia comes to mind when we visited this spot. This place was recommended to us by a parent we met at a sporting event. She used to live in the neighborhood and still comes to eat here when she's around. This restaurant is definitely old school, from the outside facade to the interior decor it looks like little has changed. It originally opened in 1945 and from the looks of things continue to draw in customers. The lighting is a little dark but not too bad. The main menu is simple, spaghetti, lasagna, and a couple of sandwiches, sides, and beverages including alcohol. The way I can describe the spaghetti sauce is classic Americana. There's a lot of ground beef and I think just the right amount of dark tomato sauce. The lasagna was also great. I felt like it had the perfect mix of the sauce, the pasta, and the filling. You can also tell that they didn't use the same sauce as the spaghetti even though they looked the same the difference was subtle. Lastly make sure to bring your appetite because their serving size is enough to fill you up 3 times over. Our server was extremely nice, she came by and would check on us often. If you are ever in the neighborhood AND VERY HUNGRY stop by and this neighborhood landmark and enjoy a plate or of some classic home cooked pasta.

    We shared the news of our newborn daughter and were treated to a complimentary dessert. So sweet!

    I'm shocked to see that I haven't posted a review here before as Vince's Spaghetti has been a constant staple in my life since childhood. There's no place like it and it's my #1 restaurant recommendation in this area. The food quality, price, taste, and value is unmatched - they don't have a massive menu, but what they do have on the menu, they do RIGHT. I have so many fond memories at this restaurant (graduation parties, birthday parties, date nights, etc.) and even more memories of Vince's to-go meals at family gatherings and other hosted events. Naturally, Vince's Spaghetti was my requested first meal back home after delivering my daughter. I used her 2-day old name as the "name on the order" and couldn't NOT share the news with the employee who took our pick-up order over the phone. To our surprise, the restaurant treated us to two complimentary desserts to celebrate the occasion and this new mommy enjoyed each bite! We will forever be grateful for this gesture (see pictures) and Vince's has a new fan as of March 2, 2024.

    Their menu (only the prices and the Lasagna is changed I think?).

    Okayyyy this place made SUCH a good first impression. They started us off with warm fresh bread and…read morebutter and honestly... that already had me sold. Nothing hits harder than fresh bread at the table. We ordered the calamari and it was chef's kiss. Super crispy, perfectly seasoned, not greasy at all, and the marinara tasted so fresh and homemade. Like the kind of appetizer you accidentally keep eating even when you swear you're saving room for your entrée. The Caesar salad was also so good -- perfectly dressed, fresh, crunchy, and balanced without being overly heavy. For my main, I got the Penne alla Vodka with added chicken and WOW. The sauce was rich, creamy, flavorful, and had that perfect comforting pasta energy. The chicken was juicy, the pasta was cooked perfectly, and every bite just hit. You know a pasta dish is good when the whole table goes silent for a minute. Everything tasted high quality and made with care, which honestly makes such a difference. Definitely one of those spots where you immediately start planning what you're ordering next time before you even leave. Can't wait to come back and try the rest of the menu because if this was the first impression... I already know there are more hits waiting.

    This half Italian can run rather brutal in Italian restaurant reviews. This is because my recently…read morelate Momma could humiliate almost every Italian restaurant in the Inland Empire. So I adjust out of fair play. This restaurant violated one of my strict restaurant rules, that applies to all cuisines: if you walk in and don't smell any food of any kind -- if the place smells like nothing -- turn and walk out immediately. But since YELP insisted this was a go, I stayed. TIP TO THE OWNER: if I were you, just before you open each night, I'd roast some garlic and hide it in the dining room -- maybe with a small fan on it. I'm not kidding. Okay, we were greeted by Sinatra in the air and Veronica, who gave us a gracious 'Italian' welcome. This is as much a part of the experience as anything. I've recently been to a new Italian spot that flubbed this. We were nudged towards risotto balls, which I'll be honest I've never managed to try but yum they both were. As was the marinara served with them, which is more of a delicate art than people understand. Some rolls came out and they were freshly made and delightful. They weren't doused in salt and so they needed that dash of provided soft whipped butter. So good I had one more roll than I wanted. Veronica made an excellent wine recommendation and off we were awaiting our entrees. We got there at opening and so we were seated in the bar/dining side. Ambiance was pretty okay but needed tweaking. I know tablecloths can scare off budget customers, but the room needed some warmth and that would have helped. Also bright setting sunlight was pouring in and I'd recommend lovely blinds for such occasions. The door at the bar leading into the back needs some paint. My vegetarian partner in crime got the eggplant parmesan, something both the menu and Veronica particularly recommended as a house specialty. It was good, but to this half Italian, not as special as it needs to be. Proper Egg Parm must absolutely melt in your mouth. If you must chew the eggplant at all, it's 'chewy' and not authentic. Look on YouTube, find an Italian -- do what you can to fix this. Trust me. My Chicken Piccata was good too, but not great. It was off somehow. To my tastebuds it wasn't creamy. If the owners PM me, I can tell you of two places within 40s minutes that do this plate properly. I enjoyed it, finished it, but I wouldn't order it again. Each of our plates came with two carrots, two pieces of broccoli, and two wedges of roasted potato. We could have had pasta but went with these sides. THEY WERE SHOCKINGLY GOOD. Not over cooked, not over seasoned, just perfect. It's an extremely odd experience to have a great wine, great appetizer, great bread, great sides -- but merely good entrees. This ate a star, sorry. We will return and try two other entrees. If they too disappoint, we likely won't return. But understand we want you to be great, because I strolled into Brio later and it was noisy cringe.

We started with bread service which includes a few different styles of bread along with olive oil and balsamic vinegar. For my entree I went with the clam linguine. It comes with chopped clams, garlic in a white wine sauce and also has a few whole clams in shell. It was so good. It was very "seafoody" which was just what I was craving. I also got to taste the carbonara, which was also very tasty. It had plenty of pancetta and the sauce was rich. Overall a good experience.

    We went here for mother's day. It was my first time here. It is definitely a pricier establishment…read moreso I was looking forward to finally trying it out. We sat outside and the ambiance (both inside and outside) were nice. The outside was definitely a lot quieter than inside, and the server next to us even offered to turn on the heaters (though not needed). I enjoyed being outside. We started off with appetizers which included grilled octopus and oysters. Although, even though they were on ice, the oysters weren't cold enough for me. Still, we downed them with the fresh horseradish and cocktail sauce and just prayed about it later lol. My family liked the grill octopus. It was tender and had a very smokey char flavor but if I'm being honest, it was not MY favorite so I probably would not personally order again. Even my mom said she thought it was "just alright." I ordered the Branzino and it lacked in flavor. I was not a fan of the green sauce it had on the side. It was not completely terrible, but not great either. It was cooked well and crispy, but that's all I can say for it as even Tabasco didn't make it great. The best thing of the night was probably the lamb chops and the cheese ravioli. They were both cooked well & tasted great so if I were to come back Id stick to pasta and that. The lychee mocktails & their ricotta cheesecake were probably my favorite things on the menu. The tart was decent. Our waiter was slow at times and kept either forgetting certain drinks or what we asked of him or the kitchen was just slower than usual. I'm not sure which, but service wasn't on par with the price point in my opinion. Luckily we were pretty relaxed, but my mom had finished her food by the time her wine arrived. Overall, it was an ok night. My family at least had fun and enjoyed their time there. The food was presented nicely, and service was OK as a whole but I'm not sure I'd come back on my own accord again. Definitely nice to say I've visited & tried it out at least once though!

We were here with friends and didn't really feel like pizza. I ordered zucchini, calamari, and a large salad for my own family. The calamari and zucchini were pretty good and came quickly, piping hot. Cocktail sauce and ranch were pretty good. Definitely a passing grade for a small mom and pop pizza spot. Pizza was good enough when it came out hot. As it got cold, as most average pizzas do, taste really fell off. The large salad was also a good size. Ingredients like pepperoncinis and olives were generous... decent amount of protein (chicken) though it was like some precooked possibly prepackaged grilled chicken with no color on it. Freshly cooked chicken would be a massive and simple upgrade. Size/quality value was pretty good though, and again, I liked the ranch. Games kept the kids occupied for a bit. Lots of screens around the perimeter for watching the game. Pretty clean, just a little dated and dark inside. If you compare to a locally beloved place like Graziano's I'd say this place is comparable. Pizza I couldn't tell you which is better. Sides like the salad and calamari are a better value here, but Grazi's has some better options in the potatoes and their calzones. I think the ceiling on a place like this is 4 stars. They get a 3.5. Better protein in the salads? Cheese that doesn't turn into bland plastic when it isn't piping hot out of the oven? Brighten up the interior a little? If you're wanting that little league pizza party nostalgia when it comes to food and vibe, this place doesn't disappoint.
